The sixth Potter instalment will receive its European premiere in front of a yet-to-be announced member of the Royal Family on 17 November. Actors Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint reprise their roles, while Jim Broadbent joins the cast. Last year's Royal Film Performance was cancelled amid controversy about the chosen movie, Brick Lane. Protestors claimed the film, based on Monica Ali's novel, portrayed residents of London's Brick Lane as uneducated. A royal spokesman said the controversy had been taken into account, but it had also been impossible to find a date for The Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall to attend a screening. It marked the first time the annual gala had been scrapped since 1958. Trailer for Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince The Half-Blood Prince is directed by David Yates, while Steve Kloves - who scripted the first four Potter instalments - has written the screenplay. The sixth film follows the young wizard as he fights to overcome the new challenges brought about by Lord Voldemort's return. The last Harry Potter film The Order of the Phoenix was the top-grossing British movie in the UK and Ireland in 2007, taking £470m at the global box office. A trailer for the latest movie is due to debut on Wednesday and the film will be released in the UK on 21 November. If you have any problems or issues on FJs please contact a member of staff via pm.

The announcement comes after producer David Heyman admitted it was impossible to cram Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows' 608 pages into a single movie. "You cannot remove elements of this book," he told the Los Angeles Times. Fans of the series have been left disappointed in the past when key scenes, including Quidditch matches, were excised for the film adaptations. Star Daniel Radcliffe told the Los Angeles Times that splitting JK Rowling's final book in two was the only sensible option for the film-makers. "There have been compartmentalised subplots in the other books that have made them easier to cut - although those cuts were still to the horror of some fans," he told the paper. "The seventh book doesn't really have any subplots. It's one driving, pounding story from the word go." In a statement, Jeff Robinov, president of Warner Bros, added that the split release was "the best way to do the book, and its many fans, justice". 'Exhilarating journey' The Kill Bill strategy will also have the benefit of boosting profits at the film studio. The first five movies have made $4.5 billion (£2.2 billion) worldwide - making it the biggest film franchise in box office history, surpassing both James Bond and Star Wars. Filming for the sixth chapter in the series, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, began in September last year. It is being directed by David Yates, who will also helm the final two films. "I consider it a great privilege to continue to bring Jo's extraordinary world to the screen, and to be the director to complete this epic and exhilarating journey," he said. The first instalment of Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows is due in autumn 2010, with part two scheduled for the following summer.
