Don't get too excited, Harry Potter fans.

This incredibly short title teaser for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is playing in IMAX theaters prior to The Dark Knight... but it's nothing more than a quote from Professor Dumbledore.

The sixth installment of the franchise comes out in conventional theaters and IMAX on November 21.
