The "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" New York City premiere at the Ziegfeld Theatre last night, Thursday July 9th, brought out the stars of stage and screen. Recent EQUUS leading man Daniel Radcliffe, "Harry Potter" himself, lead the way as the starry audience arrived.

BroadwayWorld's cameras were there to catch all the big screen "magic."

Warner Brothers is splitting "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows", the seventh and final book in the series about the young wizard, into two movies because of its length. Part I is to set debut on November 19th, 2010, while the final movie comes out eight months later in July 2010. The five movies based on the books by J.K. Rowling have already been made into huge cinema hits with stars Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint. "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" is the sixth film in the series and will be released in theatres on July 17th, 2009.

Daniel Radcliffe is best known for playing the title role in all five of the "Harry Potter" films to date, and will star again in the remaining titles. He recently made his Broadway debut, to much acclaim, in EQUUS. EQUUS also starred Richard Griffiths, with whom Daniel appeared in the highly successful production of the play in London's West End and in the Harry Potter films as well.

Radcliffe won BroadwayWorld.com 's 2009 Theatre Fans' Choice Award for Best Leading Actor in a Play for his role in EQUUS.
