Warner Brothers President Alan Horn has released a statement after fans went batshit over the studios delaying of the second last Harry Potter flick until next summer. It goes: "Many of you have written to me to express your disappointment in our moving Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince to Summer 2009. Please be assured that we share your love for Harry Potter and would certainly never do anything to hurt any of the films. Over the past 10 years, we have nurtured and protected each film, and the integrity of the books upon which they are based, to the best of our ability. The decision to move Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince was not taken lightly, and was never intended to upset our Harry Potter fans. We know you have built this series into what it is, and we thank you for your ongoing enthusiasm and support. If I may offer a silver lining: there would have been a two-year gap between "Half-Blood Prince" and the much-anticipated first part of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, which opens in November 2010." So, Potter fanatics; is your anger quenched? Didn't think so... grab the pitchforks and map your trip to LA now.
