Post 'Half-Blood Prince' casting call scam

A 'Half-Blood Prince' related scam has surfaced via emails claiming to announce casting calls for the sixth film. Fans have reported receiving emails reading:

Quote:
Dear applicant,

Plot Outline:

As Harry Potter begins his 6th year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, he discovers an old book marked mysteriously "The Half-Blood Prince" and begins to learn more about Lord Voldermort's dark past You have been selected to apply and participate as an"Act" in the induction, casting and making of "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" which will be In Theaters by July 2007.

This selection is organized by writer J.K Rowling in the bid to create original characters for the casts. We will acknowledge your altruistic effort and appreciate your recognition. Selection of applicants and first shots of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince will hold in three locations which includes Spain, London and Greece.

We expect your early attendance.

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.
