Casting has been completed on the upcoming sixth Harry Potter movie, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Warner Brothers announced. David Yates, who directed this year's Order of the Phoenix, returns to helm the next installment, based on J.K. Rowling's book.

Among the new cast members are Jim Broadbent, who will play potions professor Horace Slughorn, and Helen McCrory, who will play Narcissa Malfoy, mother to Draco Malfoy and sister to the evil Bellatrix Lestrange.

Also new to the franchise are Jessie Cave as Lavender Brown, Hero Fiennes Tiffin as young Tom Riddle and Frank Dillane as the teenage Riddle.

The returning cast includes stars Daniel Radcliffe (Harry), Rupert Grint (Ron) and Emma Watson (Hermione), who will be reunited with Helena Bonham Carter, David Bradley, Robbie Coltrane, Warwick Davis, Tom Felton, Michael Gambon, Alan Rickman, Maggie Smith, Natalia Tena, Julie Walters and David Thewlis, as well as Evanna Lynch, Matthew Lewis and Bonnie Wright.

Steve Kloves, who wrote the first four installments of the film franchise, is adapting the screenplay.

In Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Lord Voldemort is tightening his grip on both the Muggle and wizard worlds, and Hogwarts is no longer the safe haven it once was. Harry suspects that dangers may even lie within the castle, but Dumbledore (Gambon) is more intent upon preparing him for the final battle that he knows is fast approaching.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince will be released on Nov. 21, 2008.

Six of them huh, never seen a one, perhaps when they finish they'll have a collection, interesting plot description I guess would be more enjoyable/understandable if previous were viewed.
