Movie News (8/15/2008): In news that’s causing major uproar in the Harry Potter world, Warner Bros. has announced that they are going to delay the release of the 6th Harry Potter film until July 17th of 2009! Its originally scheduled air date was supposed to be November 21st of this year, but due to many reasons, it’s being pushed back to next summer. Warner Brothers’ COO Alan Horn has said, “…like every other studio, we are still feeling the repercussions of the writers strike, which impacted the readiness of scripts for other films, changing the competitive landscape for 2009 and offering new windows of opportunity that we wanted to take advantage of. We agreed the best strategy was to move Half-Blood Prince to July, where it perfectly fills the gap for a major tent pole release for mid-summer.”
