Harry Potter fans are going to have to wait a little longer to catch the next installment, as it was announced by distributor Warner Bros. yesterday that "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince," is moving from its planned November 21, 2008 release to July 17, 2009.
The sixth film in what has turned into a global blockbuster franchise, is apparently on schedule, it's just that the move was made to take advantage of an open weekend in Hollywood's busy summer season. Alan Horn, Warner Bros. president and chief operating officer, is quoted as saying, "The picture is completely, absolutely, 100 percent on schedule, on time. There were no delays. I've seen the movie. It is fabulous. We would have been perfectly able to have it out in November."
The last two movies in the series, which are based on book seven, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows," are due out in November 2010 and summer 2011.
