Los Angeles -- The release date for the sixth Harry Potter movie, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, was pushed back Thursday to July 17, 2009, from its original slot in November, movie studio Warner Bros. said.
The eight-month delay in the opening date is expected to disappoint millions of Harry Potter fans around the world who have already been waiting more than a year to watch the next big-screen instalment in the international literary and film phenomenon.
Trailers for Half-Blood Prince began circulating last week in advance of the expected November movie release worldwide.
Warner Bros., a unit of Time Warner Inc., said it had decided to make the change to bolster its release schedule for the lucrative summer movie-going season - a period that can account for as much as 40 per cent of Hollywood's annual box office receipts.
The studio said the change of date would not alter production plans for the final, two-part Potter movie adventure, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. The release date for part one is tentatively set for November, 2010.
