Last week we mentionedopens in new window that many entertainment sites had posted a release date for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Warner Bros. has confirmed for HPANA that the movie will be released on November 21, 2008, 16 months after Order of the Phoenix.

Even though this is the earliest fans have been given news about an upcoming Potter movie, please note that no additional information has been released - which means no director, no cast and certainly no composer.

I actually went on www.imdb.com and it has Dan, Emma, and Rupert all down to play in the HBP, so we know that much. imdb is pretty accurate in the imformation they get, so we know the trio will be the same, which is awesome and something I was afraid of(The trio being replaced)... lets hope the trio stays the same for the 7th movie. Anyway, I'm glad we now have a release date for HBP too, although I must say, I wasn't expecting it until at least after the OoTP came out in theaters. Oh well, I'm not complaining. Everyone have an awesome day :)

Yay! I'm happy! And I'm really glad to hear that Dan, Rupert, and Emma are going to be in it. I agree with Witch_one_counts? that I hope they will be in the seventh movie also.

Oh my goodness this is SO exciting!!! I seriously am having trouble believe it... what good news! But really, how could they know so far in advance! They must be having talks with lots of people for the news to be out this soon...

That is interesting that they have no director or some of the other actors needed but they are giving a release date. I will chalk it up to wishful thinking at this point.

That's great, but November 2008 is so far away! At least waiting for the HBP movie will make waiting for the OotP movie faster.

Um who wants to make a bet of the chances that the movie is actually released on that exact day in 2008? I dont because its not going to be because no one even knows if the cast wants to be in another movie.

Ok, I totally get the early release date but surely to goodness they have started talking to the cast about the remaining movies. Ok, well now I may actually be worried.

Wow... that is really fast... I mean that must mean that they are really working hard to come out with all the movies... maybe because the kids are getting older and they don't want them in like their late 20's still playing 17 year olds... <3

Wow! I cannot believe that we have a date so early in advance. I wonder how they know already, with no cast or even a director?

HELL YEAH!!!! this totaly rocks!!!! i know that dan and rupert are in and im pretty sure emma is too!!! i'm guessing that the reason they are making it this quickly is because they still want to get the trio wile their young! ether way the more Potter the better!

OK...So we have the release date... WOOHOO!!
But no director, no cast (*tear*), and no composer.....
This only adds more nail biting to the already overpopulous amount that I've been doing....
