EW now has a blog online about this push back of Half-Blood Prince. They start off by saying, “EW and Warner Bros. share a parent company, but they clearly do not share, you know, important friggin’ information.”

Asked about the seriousness of moving a Potter movie so late in the game, the exec adds, “Turning a battleship that big isn’t easy. You’re not talking just about the movie, but all the merchandising, the toys and stuff. It’s huge. And it has a domino effect across the rest of the summer slate.” The date change will affect other studio’s slates as well.

Thanks to Ben (from Mugglenet ) for letting me know.
