November 21 will be the worst day of my life.

Take a long, hard look at this fantastic film poster. Nevermind the fact that the Half Blood Prince is the most powerful and emotional book of the series (yes, I enjoyed this tale more than the Deathly Hallows); take a look at the date.

For someone who has highly anticipated this movie's release, originally scheduled on November 21, 2008, to see this is devastating!

BURBANK, Calif., Aug 14, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Warner Bros. Pictures today announced that it has moved back the release date of "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" to Summer 2009. The sixth installment of the blockbuster Harry Potter franchise will now open day-and-date domestically and in the major international markets on July 17, 2009. The announcement was made by Alan Horn, President and Chief Operating Officer, Warner Bros.

Until then, you can suppress your anger and sadness by taking a look at the teaser trailer which actually made it into theaters (I saw it before the Dark Knight). Young Voldemort should be a hit!
