Harry Potter along with his school buddies heads back to class ahead of scheduled time.
As told by Dan Fellman “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” by Warner Bros is now opening on Wednesday, July 15; two days prior to its previous release date.
Fellman says, “Every day the kids are out of school in summer is just like an extra Saturday.” That presents the movie a head-start on the weekend through what’s determined to be a highly competitive summer time for Hollywood, which has major franchise films releasing virtually every week.
Warner Bros. also launched the franchise’s latest release, “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix,” on a Wednesday in July 2007.
This is the sixth installment in the adventures of the boy wizard and has gone for the change of release date for the second time. “Half-Blood Prince” had been listed for screening last fall until the studio bumped it to this July to take benefit of an open weekend in the eventful summer lineup.
The movie stars Daniel Radcliffe as Harry, alongwith Rupert Grint and Emma Watson as his best buddies at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
