Press Release:
BURBANK, CA, August 14, 2008 – Warner Bros. Pictures today announced that it has moved back the release date of "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" to Summer 2009. The sixth installment of the blockbuster Harry Potter franchise will now open day-and-date domestically and in the major international markets on July 17, 2009. The announcement was made by Alan Horn, President and Chief Operating Officer, Warner Bros.
In making the announcement, Mr. Horn stated, "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.
"
Jeff Robinov, President of Warner Bros. Motion Picture Group, confirmed, "The release date change does not alter the production schedule for this or future Harry Potter films. Post-production on 'Half-Blood Prince' was completed on time, and the studio's release plans for the two-part 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows' will not be affected by this change. We know Harry Potter fans are eagerly anticipating seeing the final chapters unfold onscreen. In fact, the good news for them is that the gap will now be shortened between 'Half-Blood Prince' and the first part of 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
'"
Commenting on the release date change for "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince," David Heyman, the producer of all the Harry Potter films, offered, "When Jeff Robinov explained the rationale behind moving the release date of 'Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince' to July 2009, it was immediately apparent that this offered us the potential to reach the widest possible audience. I am extremely proud of this latest film and of the work of David Yates and our incomparable cast; I believe we have developed and pushed the series further still. We are all looking forward to sharing it with Harry Potter fans around the world, even if we have to wait just a bit longer.
"
David Yates, the director of both "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" and "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" and who will also helm "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows," added, "It has been a joy to work on 'Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.' Dan, Rupert and Emma and all our returning young cast continue to blossom, and our new cast members bring fresh color and life to Hogwarts. Even as we put the finishing touches on this latest film, we are already beginning preparations on the final two films—we start filming in February—and I am excited to bring this remarkable series to the exciting and moving conclusion its loyal fans deserve.
"
In "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince," Voldemort is tightening his grip on both the Muggle and wizarding worlds and Hogwarts is no longer the safe haven it once was. Harry suspects that dangers may even lie within the castle, but Dumbledore is more intent upon preparing him for the final battle that he knows is fast approaching. Meanwhile, the students are under attack from a very different adversary as teenage hormones rage across the ramparts. Love is in the air, but tragedy lies ahead and Hogwarts may never be the same again.
Warner Bros. Pictures presents a Heyday Films production, "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince." David Yates, who directed last year's summer blockbuster "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix," returns to direct "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince." David Heyman and David Barron are the producers, with Lionel Wigram serving as executive producer. Steve Kloves wrote the screenplay, based on the book by J.K. Rowling.
Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson are reprising their roles as young wizards Harry Potter, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. The film also stars Jim Broadbent, Helena Bonham Carter, Robbie Coltrane, Warwick Davis, Michael Gambon, Alan Rickman, Maggie Smith, Timothy Spall, David Thewlis and Julie Walters. The cast also features David Bradley, Jessie Cave, Frank Dillane, Tom Felton, Matthew Lewis, Evanna Lynch, Helen McCrory, Natalia Tena, Hero Fiennes Tiffin, and Bonnie Wright.
"Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" will be released by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company.

At three, she skied her first black diamond at Park City Mountain Resort. When her brother turned out to be too big to repeat his performance with Ballet West in "Romeo and Juliet", Shenandoah got the part and was the youngest child, at age three, to appear with Ballet West. At four, she started modern dance at the Tanner Dance Studio. She played a soldier in Mountain West Ballet's Nutcracker, danced ballet and jazz in the Salt Lake Dance Center's performances, and joined the Children's Dance Theater at the Tanner Dance Studio. With Children's Dance Theater, she went to Kuopio, Finland, and St. Petersburg, Russia, getting both to perform and to watch amazing performances. In ski racing at Park City, Shenandoah brought home medals, trophies, and stories. At Juan Diego Catholic High School, Shenandoah excelled in Cross Country Running and went to Australia to race and tour after her freshman year. In her junior year, she won the 2A Cross Country State Championship. She worked at Deer Valley Resort as a restaurant assistant, pastry chef, and last year, as a ski instructor. With a Scottish Country Dance tour, Shenandoah danced through northern Scotland, the Orkney Islands and Shetland. In her senior year, she studied Veterinary Technology through the Jordan Technology Program and graduated with honors from Juan Diego High School in 2005. At the University of Utah, Shenandoah planned to major in Emergency Medical Services. She traveled a second time to Great Britain, riding horseback in England, Wales, and Scotland. Her favorite repeat trip was going to British Columbia, Canada to sail the Inside Passage to Alaska, surf in Tofino, and enjoy the Butchart Gardens. With her father and University of Utah Engineering students, Shenandoah attended Formula SAE and Mini-Baja race car competitions. In the last two years as a student, she was able to drive in the Mini-Baja competition. Shenandoah embraced life passionately and pursued her goals without giving up. At age 19, Shenandoah met Ian Whiting, also 19. They had planned to marry August 6, 2008. Diagnosed with manic bipolar mood disorder at age 17, Shenandoah took medication to control the disease. She died, wishing to be herself, ending the abuse of both the disease and of the side effects of the medication.
