WB have insisted that it isn't legit and they are looking to take legal action against those responsible. "Warner Bros. confirms that these emails regarding Harry Potter 6 (Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince) are not legitimate. We have investigated the matter and are attempting to take legal action against those responsible."

I don't think they've even finished casting for OotP yet, why would they be doing HBP?
It sounds as though fans have been smart enough to contact people though. | |

that's just stupid. why would they be casting people for the sexth movie if they haven't even started filming the fifth movie? they're probably working on the first draft of the sixth movie right now. whoever came up with this really has no life. | |
