Newsflash: Potter Movie Release Change - Vampires Kick Wizard Ass!

According to Variety.com, the vampire love story "Twilight" is taking over the November 21 release date original held by "Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince." Apparently the new "Harry Potter" flick will makes its debut next summer in July 2009.

"Twilight," based on the saga of love at first near bite written by Stephanie Meyer, was a hot property at this year's Comic-Con and the buzz has been high for the film starring Kristen Stewart as heroine Bella and Robert Pattinson as her immortal love Edward. Many will remember that Pattinson also played Cedric Diggory from the "Harry Potter" films.

No word yet on why the "Potter" push - Meyer's even goes so far to say on her blog that she had nothing to do with the schedule change. As if! (Note to Stephanie - I hate to be the one to tell you but you AIN'T J. K. Rowling baby doll - you ain't got that much juice!)

I just started reading the "Twilight" series so I was looking forward to the movie but I have to say I'm a bit bummed that "Harry P" has been delayed. I loved the books and all of the movies so I was really looking forward to the new film this year.

I hope this doesn't mean that the final two films based on "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows", the final book of the series, originally slated for 2010 and 2011 releases dates, won't be delayed.

I need my magic fix! I suppose in the mean time I'll have to settle for the Vamps.

Here is a clip of the "Twilight" trailer just in case you missed it:
