With the release of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince still more than eight months away, fans are searching for a patience spell until the movie finally starts showing in a theater near you. Over the weekend, the international teaser trailer gave Muggles everywhere a taste to help tide them over. So go ahead and put away the wand, Hermione. Maybe we’ll be able to hold out until July without using magic.

The trailer for the sixth installment is darker and more action-packed than the first American trailer released over the summer. The spot includes new footage and many ominous overtones. Things go from dark and creepy to light and kissy in just a minute and a half.

We see He-Who-Must-Not -Be-Named, Death Eaters and Bellatrix Lestrange. We also see Ron Weasley getting a smooch from Lavender Brown and Harry Potter getting a smack (relax, on the head) from Hermione Granger.

Harry Potter star Emma Watson has been stalked at school by an obsessed fan, it has been reported.

The Sun says police were called after a man approached the 16-year-old, who plays the boy wizard’s pal Hermione Granger.

A source told the paper: “The man actually gatecrashed her school. She was very alarmed and worried.”

The fan, in his 20s, was questioned and then warned off by detectives. He is said to be “an admirer who was over-zealous.”

He had managed to get into some of the open lectures she attends and reportedly began talking to her about the Potter films.

While police investigated, the school and Emma’s parents took action to make sure she was protected and a minder was hired to look after her.

The actress is in her first year of A-Levels after a string of GCSE passes.

The star of all five Potter movies has said in the past that her celebrity status has been responsible for her not having a boyfriend.
