I guess it's nothing exciting but it is Harry Potter related.

Hmm, explains a lot...

^Don't they usually release Harry Potter books and movies in July? I remember them as always being released during the summer months.

Yeah they are normally released during the summer but I heard from a bunch of people it was coming out in November. It must of gotten pushed back or maybe they were wrong. Either way it sucks.

That looks so cool. I can't wait till it comes out. I thought it was suppose to come out in November though. Has it been pushed back to July? That's way to long to wait.

EEE!~My poor eyes.
Highlights to read post.

I thought I heard that November was the release date as well.Seemed strange because they usually come out in July or August.

Sorry Ravengrim.
I'm glad I'm not the only one that heard it was suppose to come out in November. I thought I had lost it.

In the UK, the books normally come out in July and the films in November. I don't know why this one has been pushed back but I'm not a happy bunny as they're normally my pre crimbo treat to myself!

Originally the movie was scheduled to be released in November of this year, however due to WB wanting more of people's money they pushed it back to July of 2009.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - The release date for the sixth Harry Potter movie, "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince," was pushed back on Thursday to July 2009 from its original slot in November 2008, movie studio Warner Bros. said.

The eight-month change in the opening date to July 17, 2009, is expected to disappoint millions of Harry Potter fans around the world who have already been waiting more than a year to watch the next big-screen installment in the international literary and film phenomenon.

Trailers for "Half-Blood Prince" began running last week in advance of the expected November movie release worldwide.

Warner Bros., a unit of Time Warner Inc, said it had decided to make the change to bolster its release schedule for the lucrative summer moviegoing season -- a period that can account for as much as 40 percent of Hollywood's annual box office receipts.

Warner Bros. President Alan Horn said the studio was also still feeling repercussions from the three-month Hollywood screenwriters strike that ended in February but has "impacted the readiness of scripts for other films."

"We know the summer season is an ideal window for a family ... release, as proven by the success of our last Harry Potter film, which is the second-highest grossing film in the franchise, behind only the first installment," Horn said.

The studio said the change of date would not alter production plans for the final, two-part Potter movie adventure, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows." The release date for part one is tentatively set for November 2010.

"Deathly Hallows," the seventh and last story from British author J.K. Rowling about the boy wizard and his friends at Hogwarts School, was published in July 2007. The series has sold an estimated 400 million copies, and the books have been translated into more than 60 languages.

In response to thousands upon thousands of upset fans...

Many of you have written to me to express your disappointment in our moving "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" to Summer 2009.

Please be assured that we share your love for Harry Potter and would certainly never do anything to hurt any of the films. Over the past 10 years, we have nurtured and protected each film, and the integrity of the books upon which they are based, to the best of our ability.

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. We know you have built this series into what it is, and we thank you for your ongoing enthusiasm and support.

If I may offer a silver lining: there would have been a two-year gap between "Half-Blood Prince" and the much-anticipated first part of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows," which opens in November 2010.

So although we have to wait a little longer for "Half-Blood Prince," the wait from that film until "Deathly Hallows" will be less than 18 months. I am sorry to have disappointed you now, but if you hold on a little longer, I believe it will be worth the wait.
