Fans are treated with another new image from the sixth installment of "Harry Potter" franchise, "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince". Posted by Snitch Seeker who claimed to get the picture from an anonymous email, the photo captures the moment when Harry, Arthur, Ginny, Tonks, and Lupin are standing amidst a field of reeds during the battle outside the Burrow.

Dealing with an impending war atmosphere around the wizarding world, "Half-Blood Prince" has been said to be darker than previous movies. When asked about his comment on how scary the new movie will be while attending "The Duchess" London premiere on Wednesday, September 3, the actor who portrayed the evil Lord Voldemort, Ralph Fiennes, confessed,"I haven't seen it yet so I'm not sure if it's scarier than the others."

Directed by David Yates from the script by Steven Kloves, the Warner Bros. film puts up Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint,

"The decision to move 'Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince' was not taken lightly, and was never intended to upset our Harry Potter fans," part of his statement read. "We know you have built this series into what it is, and we thank you for your ongoing enthusiasm and support."

Veteran actress Dame Maggie Smith is reportedly battling breast cancer and recovering from an emergency operation to remove a tumour.

The British screen legend reportedly underwent a course of chemotherapy to destroy cancerous cells, and is said to have bravely insisted on completing filming her role of schoolmistress Minerva McGonagall in the upcoming Harry Potter And The Half Blood Prince - the sixth film in the wizard hero franchise - while having the energy-sapping treatments.

The double Oscar-winner was due to begin work on Julian Fellowes' film From Time To Time later this month, but reports suggest filming has been delayed in order for the 73-year-old to recover from her surgery.

According to the U.K.'s Daily Mail newspaper a source close to the star says, " (She is) typically brave and understated. The last thing she wants to do is make a fuss about it."

Smith's representative says, "We never comment on our client's private lives."
