I was checking my HP fansite and they announced that Half Blood Prince, or HP 6, will now open July 17,2009. It turns out to be all about the money, since warner brothers cited how much money Dark Knight is making so they wanted to release HBP at the same time of year. They did also try to claim that the writers strike set them back as well but I don't believe it. Imax says that by then they will have 100 digital imax screens ready to go. What's a girl to do with a whole other year without her wizards.

You're leaving yourself open to all sorts of wand jokes there... wink

Then there comes this story from The Huffington Post of all places:

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 was 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.
