Sixth Harry Potter Flies into 2009

Bad news for Harry Potter fans: due to a lackluster schedule for next summer, Warner Bros. has decided to move the next Harry Potter movie, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, from this November to about a year from now, July 17, 2009. You can blame the writers' strike, which left the studio without much to develop for the crucial summer slate, says Variety. It's especially bad timing, as Daniel Radcliffe, soon to be seen al fresco on Broadway in Equus, graces the Fall Movie Preview cover of Entertainment Weekly, out this week.
