Harry Potter has passed his exams, but as E puts it, he’s being “held back”.
The Premiere on the internet of one of the trailers aside, Warner Brothers has spoken out this week that the new movie, Harry Potter,and the Half Blood Prince which was slated for release in the latter parts of November of 2008, is being held back and won’t be released in theaters until mid summer of 2009.
They have scheduled the released date now for July 17 2009, which Warner Brothers says is for purely financial reasons.
“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.” said Warner Brothers president.
The sixth book as well as the film in this smash series will focus on the search for the rest of the horcruxes where Lord Voldemort left his soul.
