哈利波特与混血王子: 08感恩节上映

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, the sixth installment of the lucrative franchise, will come out in theaters on November 21, 2008.

Now, Warner Bros. just needs to hire a director and confirm the cast. The fifth installment, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, bows in July.

The Prince date will mark a return to the Thanksgiving period for the sorcerer series. Of the four Potter films to date, only the third installment, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, has been released during the summer.

Paramount Pictures also has just planted a flag in November 2008, declaring November 7 for DreamWorks Animation's Madagascar sequel. Ben Stiller, Chris Rock, Jada Pinkett-Smith and David Schwimmer are set to reprise their roles as the main characters of the animated franchise.
