Fans of Trainspotting will love Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.

Wait... what?!?

In an interview with Empire, Daniel Radcliffe compares the upcoming Harry Potter movie to the aforementioned heroin-based movie, saying "there's a fair amount of sexual energy and drug parallels."

We haven't read Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince - but that does quote make sense to those that have

As an article in USA Today put its:

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince will face a unique situation: It arrives more than a year after the completion of the literary saga. (The seventh and final book, Harry Potter and Deathly Hallows, was published last summer.)

The big-screen versions, the filmmakers realize, now have to be separate entities.

"We had to make this film a worthy successor to the last â€" and a successful stand-alone film in its own right," producer David Baron told the newspaper.

Here are a few photos from Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince to try and hold you over until it arrives in theaters on November 21...

As readers of the book series know, danger may come from inside Hogwarts during Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.

Harry, now 16, is suspicious of Malfoy; the former works with Dumbledore to retrieve memories pertaining to the Lord Voldemort. However, being a teen as well as a wizard, he is drawn to Ginny Weasley.

Do Harry and Ginny share a sweet snog?

"They're about to kiss," director David Yates said. "Then the bloody Death Eaters turn up and cause all sorts of anarchy."

We have an exciting new movie still from the upcoming Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince to show you guys.

Warner Brothers previously released this picture in Nick Magazine.  However, now for the first time you can see it in high resolution on the web on Reel Movie News.

While you're getting ready for the sixth installment of the Harry Potter series to come out on November 21, 2008, enjoy this picture.

Pucker up, Jessie Cave. You get to kiss Ron Weasley in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.

Said actor Rupert Grint about the role: "I was involved with the Lavendar Brown audition and the whole Lavendar thing. Her name's Jessie, and she is really cool, and it's going to be really funny."

Sounds like the 20-year old actress landed a role approximately six million other girls would love to have.

She hasn't had much work, but Cave did appear with Helen Mirren in Inkheart, and will star in a BBC drama called Summerhill next year.

The next Harry Potter installment is set to hit theaters November 21, 2008. Helen McCrory was also recently cast in the flick. She'll play Narcissa Malfoy.

Helen McCrory was originally cast as Bellatrix Lestrange in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. But a little pregnancy forced the actress to pull out of this role.

Now, though, the British thespian has given birth and is ready to join the cast of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.

McCrory has been cast as the haughty, domineering Narcissa Malfoy in the upcoming film. A blond-haired, blue-eyed, pureblood witch, Narcissa is a fellow minion of Lord Voldemort, along with her sister Bellatrix, her husband Lucius and her son Draco.

Narcissa has a much more prominent, and crucial, role in the seventh book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

McCrory played Prime Minister Tony Blair's wife in last year's Oscar-winning The Queen. Meanwhile, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is slated to open November 2008.
