Warner Brothers announced that it has completed casting on "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince."

The movie is the anticipated sixth installment in J.K. Rowling's lucrative franchise.

Once again the fans will enjoy the returning trio of Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson  and Rupert Grint  (playing Harry Potter, Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley).

David Yates, the director of the fifth film, will return as director for this film. David Heyman and David Barron will produce the film, and Steve Kloves, though he did not write the fifth film, will return as screenwriter for this instalment. The film is scheduled for a UK and U.S. release on 21 November 2008.
Several newcomers are set to make their film debuts in 'Prince.'


Jessie Cave, 20, will bring comedic relief to the film as Lavender Brown, Ron Weasley's extremely touchy-feely new girlfriend. Nine-year-old Hero Fiennes Tiffin will play young, innocent Tom Riddle at age 11 -- a wily casting move considering he is Ralph Fiennes ' (aka Voldemort) nephew. And 16-year-old Frank Dillane rounds out the cast as a teenaged Tom Riddle, already well on his way to becoming the Dark Lord.

Also on board for the sixth installment are returning cast members Robbie Coltrane , Warwick Davis, Michael Gambon, Alan Rickman, Maggie Smith  and David Thewlis. Director David Yates, who helmed this summer's "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix," is back behind the lens for "Prince."
