Last week we mentioned
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 hope it's for UK aswell. It annoys me that AMerica should get to see it before UK. As the UK spawned the greatness.
Everyone must save that day and many days after that to see it multiple times at the cinema.
Oh yes.

Hopefully the reason they can put out a date is that they have already talked to all the actors and they agreed to come back for the next one so it is like a writed agreement or something. Changing the actors now would be really weird.

Wow, Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert will be way too old to play 16 year olds...They'll probably have to find new actors.

They have a date already? That's amazing. Nov 2008... gosh that seems so far away! I'll be 17!
Haha, they'll be telling us when the movie of the 7th book is going to come out before the books been released at this rate!
Does this mean they've already drafted a script then? Because they'll need to know what they're shooting and when to know how long it'll take, right? I hope they do a great job. I can't wait! I'll be crying buckets at the funeral though. Gosh, I don't think I'll be able to stop.

[sarcasm]Wow, i did not even know that the the movie was getting an release-date?? I did not even know that it would get released. I though that they would film it, and then burn all footage which they had filmed[/sarcasm]
A film gets an release-date - so what?
But ok, if someone has to do something that day, now they know it in advance. But other than that, it is kinda useless.

Yay!!! November tradition will return and this is so much better planning wise as I will have been working for a year and the vacation and sick days kick in!! Not that I plan to abuse them but I am so very glad it will be back in November. Now I can wear my scarf again and you can't wear it in July....

Well that's good to hear. But how can they confirm that date if they've not even started filming it yet, having got any cast, no director, or composer. They've not even finished filming OotP yet.
I hope all the cast stays the same for HBP. It would be horrible if any of them leave. Espcially any of the trio...and Tom and Ginny...and the teachers...and everyone really.

WOW, I hope that release date remains true for HBP, as November 22 is my birthday, so that would be a GREAT present for me!! I am so excited for each and every new 'chapter' of Harry Potter (book and movie) and am going to be so so so so so sad to have it all end.

At least we have a date! It's a long time to wait for the next installment, but we know we can pre-book the time off to see the film hee hee hee!
Looking forward to both films now!
Even though no actors/directers etc. have been confirmed for the film, it's nice to know when it will come around to our cinema's!
I really hope that the original cast stays, i it hate when we have sequals with different actors playing the characters we all love and hate! But i think they probably will stay, they would mad not to hee hee hee!

*Screams* That is so cool! Now we have two films to look to forward too :D I thought it'd be way too early to confirm the release date for HBP, they should also confirm the date for book 7 soon..
Can't wait for OOTP AND HBP :D gonna be soo good!
