LOS ANGELES - BOY wizard Harry Potter won't be whipping up his magic when the fall film season begins next week, but Hollywood is hoping momentum from summer hits like 'The Dark Knight' and a wide mix of new movies will keep audiences happy into the holidays.
Two weeks ago, Warner Bros yanked Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince from a November release and pushed it to next July, which could spell trouble at box offices because the previous four 'Potter' films averaged US$920 million (S$1.3 billion) in worldwide ticket sales.
