“Harry Potter 6″ Pushed to July 2009!
Warner Bros. Pictures today announced that it has moved back the release of “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” from Thanksgiving this year until July 17th next summer!
The announcement was made by Alan Horn, President and Chief Operating Officer, Warner Bros.
In making the announcement, Mr. Horn stated,
“Our reasons for shifting ‘Half-Blood Prince’ to summer are twofold: we know the summer season is an ideal window for a family tent pole 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. Additionally, 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.”

Rowling‘s final book in the series, “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows” will be released in two parts.David Yates, who earlier helmed the 2007 summer blockbuster ‘Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix‘ and is currently in production on ‘Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince‘, will direct ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I’ and ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II’.Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II will be adapted by screenwriter Steve Kloves.
Jeff Robinov, President of Warner Bros. Pictures Group, stated:
It has been an honor for our studio to be entrusted with bringing J.K. Rowling’s extraordinary book series to the screen, and we have always felt a great responsibility to be true to her vision. In concluding the film franchise, we recognized that ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows’ is packed with vital plot points that complete the story arcs of all of its beloved characters. That said, we feel that the best way to do the book, and its many fans, justice is to expand the screen adaptation of ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows’ and release the film in two parts. We could not imagine the final chapter of the film franchise being in better hands than those of David Yates.
