In between the action of Transformers, and the screams over New Moon, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince hits theaters around the country on July 15.

The film is the sixth installment in this wildly popular franchise, and fans have been waiting awhile for it.

Originally scheduled for a December 2008 release, the movie was pushed back seven months. It's received nothing but praise from critics, however, and we're sure viewers will be quick to forgive once Harry and company appear on screen.

The cast, led by Daniel Radcliffe, endured a torrential downpour in London earlier this week for the world premiere.

But when you've battled Lord Voldemort - and/or the swine flu, as Rupert Grint recently suffered through - what's a little rain? Click on the photos below to enlarge shots of the cast at the event:

It may seem hard to believe, but New Moon is not the only highly-anticipated movie coming out in 2009.

On July 15, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince hits theaters.

In this sixth installment of the franchise, Voldemort is tightening his grip on both the Muggles and Wizards, as Hogwarts is no longer a safe haven. As a result, Dumbledore must work with his prized student in order to prepare him for the final battle between good and evil.

Here's the latest poster for the film:

Jessie Cave has been cast in the role of Lavendar Brown in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.

And it sounds like Rupert Grint, who portrays Brown's boyfriend Ron Weasley, is pleased with the selection:

"I was involved with the Lavendar Brown audition and the whole Lavendar thing," the young actor recently said. "Her name's Jessie, and she is really cool, and it's going to be really funny."

Jessie Cave, we hope you enjoyed anonymity. A role in the next Harry Potter film should sky-rocket this young actress to stardom.

The 20-year old Cave is relatively unknown, having starred alongside Helen Mirren in Inkheart. She'll appear in a BBC drama called Summerhill next year.

The next Harry Potter movie is set to hit theaters November 21, 2008.
