Harry Potter release date set back!
By Harry Potter Trailer | August 20, 2008
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince will not be released until next year. This is the penultimate film and was originally set to be released on November 11th 2009 is now expected July 17th 2009!!!
In a statement, Warners president Alan Horn said part of the reason for the shift was the writers strike, which left the studio in a bit of a dearth of tentpoles.
“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,” he said. “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.”
The studio then goes on to say they are still planning to release the two part movie adaptation for the final book.
Sorry to be the bringer of bad news!
