This morning many Harry Potter fans woke to reports that Warner Bros. had announced a release date of November 21, 2008 for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.

You may remember that in March David Heyman mentioned that Half-Blood Prince was set for 2008.

Numerous sites are reporting the release date:

  • Varietyopens in new window posted a list of movie release dates, pointing out that Warner Bros. had Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix and Ocean's Thirteen as its two major summer releases for 2007. The sixth movie, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, will be released on November 21st.

Well, aren't we getting a little ahead of ourselves right now? Heh, if that really is the correct date, it's kinda odd that we got it so fast, before we even get a clip from OotP? We just (practically) got the release date for OotP and we're getting this already? Hmm, I'll wait for Warner Bros. to say something first.

Wow, they're already talking about the next movie and the previous one hasn't even been released yet?! Well, the sooner the better! It's nice not to have to wait too long between the films! So HP & the OotP is set to be released next summer or fall?!

Talk about thinking ahead! I'd still be concerned with the verity and achievability of the release date for the next film, let alone the sixth one. Nov 2008 does seem a long way off, but at least Phoenix will come out before then.

That's a bit too early. Actually, I want to know more about the released date of the book than the movie 6. I hope they give us more informations about the casts and crews... I bet many of the old casts still on it

That is the most exciting news I've heard in a while. Though I think that the most exciting will be when they tell us that the filming process is complete and they are almost ready to release the film into the theaters. Come on 2007 and 2008!!!

That's gonna be awesome, because it will be like a year after book 7 which is just enough time to get insanely excited about movies 6 and 7, although i'm insanely excited about them now but....

At least there is a date to work towards for HBP even if it is ages away. Let's just get to OotP and then I'll start thinking about the 6th movie!

That sounds like a pretty good guess as to the release of HBP. Yet it seems like far away. But we've still got the OotP movie to look forward to.
