Fortune favors the bold, we're told, luck the well prepared mind. Well, that or those who manage to get their hands on a little vial of Felix Felicis, of course. (Just a tablespoon will do ya!)

"Harry Potter" fans got lucky themselves a little bit, this morning, with the release of a new image from "Half-Blood Prince," which showcases The Chosen One and the one who does the choosing in the latter's potion classroom.

But what does the image tell us? Read more...

Every few months, when we least expect it, a little bit of movie magic comes in through the Owl Post -- well, actually, Harry Potter photos from "Half-Blood Prince," courtesy of Warner Bros. Sometimes the photos reveal a lot, and sometimes, not so much at first glance -- it depends what you see in them.

Ron Weasley doesn't look happy putting on a Quidditch uniform for the first time for the Gryffindor team -- but Rupert Grint is loving it. The actor was upset that Quidditch was ditched from the plot of the last film, since director David Yates didn't think depicting the flying sport was necessary. He's since changed his mind, which means Ron gets to come into his own by playing keeper -- but Quidditch is back for one film only, since what happens at Hogwarts isn't really of concern in "Deathly Hallows" until the end.

Granted there's not a lot of action here, but considering the only other glimpse we've gotten of "Half-Blood Prince" was Harry just standing around, I guess anything else is a step up.

In the new photo, we see the heroic trio engaged in some fanciful reading, with Harry holding what may be the Prince's potions book while Hermione reads over a newspaper with the apparent headline of "More Disappearances At Ministry Of Magic." We'll get the full story when the film hits theaters on November 21, but in the meantime click here or on the pic below to see everything's we've got on "Half-Blood Prince."

As the actor who embodies Harry Potter's every move, Daniel Radcliffe certainly knows from heroism. There's the type of courage needed to battle a basilisk, for instance, or the bravery required to face down several dementors. But you can keep your dragon rides and your sorcerers' duels, insisted Radcliffe, who told MTV News that the scene from the upcoming movie, "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince," he's most looking forward to filming is the one in which Harry's heroism manifests itself in the simple act of telling a friend it's all going to be ok.

"I'm really looking forward to filming the cave and all the stuff in there with the lake and the Inferi," Radcliffe enthused. "Me and [Michael] Gambon in a row boat for a few days. It's gonna be amazing." (Warning: spoilers ahead for those who haven't read the book.) Read more...

Actor Jim Broadbent recently announced that he'll be playing Hogwarts' morally conflicted potions professor, Horace Slughorn. Earlier, Daniel Radcliffe described for us the complex character who plays a pivotal role in the sixth "Harry Potter" book.
