I thought it was a joke but Leaky Cauldron confirmed it with WB. Double bummer.

I picked up the same news over at Ain't It Cool News. I have to agree with a previous poster --- this was the only movie I have been looking forward to all year.

The story does get “darker” as the series progresses.

Fully aware of that myself. What is interesting is that after the 4th movie it is into adult content as far as I'm concerned with respect to my children watching it.

Well shucky darn, I hope Harry still looks like Harry and not “Hairy”. LOL
Sad to see it not coming.

That is disappointing!

And such a long time to postpone it. I don’t get it.

That’s almost a year’s postponement.

At this rate Harry will be 40 by the time they wrap up the movies.

This is stupid. The movie’s going to make buckets of money no matter WHEN it’s released.

If it’s in the can, they should release it on its due date.

Regards,

I think Time Warner will back down by the end of this week because the LAST thing they want is a very large, angry fan base. This is not good PR by anybody's standards.

That'll make the closing scene more accurate.

Per Fox News:

Harry Potter Scared by Horse

A naked Harry Potter has scared off the movie “Harry Potter.”

Warner Bros. has announced moving its sixth Potter film, “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince,” from Nov. 21, 2008, to July 17, 2009. The reason? Officially, there is no reason, except that “a spot opened on the summer schedule.”

That’s not much of a reason. The real story? Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe will be right in the middle of his sensational, highly publicized run on Broadway in the play, “Equus.” Radcliffe appears naked in the play, on stage, and has sex in it as well. That’s not the image Warner Bros. wants associated with bespectacled Harry, who remains chaste and virginal.

Indeed, posters for Equus are up all over New York, of Radcliffe’s naked torso superimposed on a horse’s head. This is not the sort of thing that’s taught at Hogwarts. For the movie to open on Nov. 21, Radcliffe would have to do publicity entailing answering questions about blinding horses and having sex with them vs. flying around and making potions.

Warner Bros. does not want this scenario. By the time “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” debuts, “Equus” will either have concluded its run or Radcliffe will have completed his contract. And there will be little mention of any horsing around.
