Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince On July 15th

Warner Bros has announced that Muggles will now be able to see Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince a few days early. The film which was set for Friday July 17th, will now hit theaters two days earlier on Wednesday, July 15th 2009. This means that there will now probably be Tuesday night midnight screenings in some theaters.

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. Together they work to find the key to unlock Voldemort's defenses and, to this end, Dumbledore recruits his old friend and colleague, the well-connected and unsuspecting bon vivant Professor Horace Slughorn, whom he believes holds crucial information.  Meanwhile, the students are under attack from a very different adversary as teenage hormones rage across the ramparts. Harry finds himself more and more drawn to Ginny, but so is Dean Thomas.  And Lavender Brown has decided that Ron is the one for her, only she hadn't counted on Romilda Vane's chocolates!  And then there's Hermione, simmering with jealousy but determined not to show her feelings.  As romance blossoms, one student remains aloof.  He is determined to make his mark, albeit a dark one. Love is in the air, but tragedy lies ahead and Hogwarts may never be the same again.
