Harry Potter six named

The title of the sixth Harry Potter film has been revealed.

So far three films and five books have been written in the boy wizard series - and information about what is to come is one of the most sought-after secrets in showbusiness.

But series creator JK Rowling has now revealed the name of the sixth instalment.

Writing on her website, the author revealed "Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince" is the name.

But fans wishing to wheedle more out of her will be disappointed.

"The Half Blood Prince, is neither Harry nor Voldemort; and that's all I'm saying on that subject until the book is finished," she said.

The third film in the series, "Harry Potter And The Prisoner Of Azkaban", premiered this month in the UK and US to incredible success - taking a record £76 million in its opening week.

Filming for the fourth film is underway, with producers anxious to get as much done as possible before child actors like Daniel Radcliffe (Harry) and Rupert Grint (Ron) become too old for their parts.
