W-H-A-T ?!?!?!?!?!

Thanks to the money-grubbing dorkwads at Warner Brothers... The Half-Blood Prince release has been pushed back until JULY 2009!!!

“Our reasons for shifting ‘Half-Blood Prince’ to summer are twofold: we know the summer season is an ideal window for a family tent pole release, as proven by the success of our last Harry Potter film, which is the second-highest grossing film in the franchise, behind only the first installment. Additionally, like every other studio, we are still feeling the repercussions of the writers’ strike, which impacted the readiness of scripts for other films—changing the competitive landscape for 2009 and offering new windows of opportunity that we wanted to take advantage of. We agreed the best strategy was to move ‘Half-Blood Prince’ to July, where it perfectly fills the gap for a major tent pole release for mid-summer.”

ARGH!!! *sigh* At least Twilight is still on schedule for December...

I read on Fox News that the reason was because Daniel Radcliff is going to be in New York doing Equus (nude weirdo thing that it is) and they don't want the association of Harry Potter and nude boy Radcliffe.
