The cast of "Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows: Part 2" at the New York premiere on July 11.

Potter fans do not panic. Please remain calm and do not spread any rumors. Showtimes for "Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows: Part 2" will run in Mumbai today as scheduled.

On Thursday, newspapers reported a stall on the sequel's scheduled release today Friday July 15, affecting advance ticket bookings and paid previews of the popular Warner Bros franchise.

Because of Wednesday's terror bombings? No. The reason was something much more mundane: money.
Mumbai multiplex representatives of PVR, Fame and Inox, Big Cinemas, Cinemax and Fun Cinemas have yet to resolve disputed revenue terms with Warner Bros Pictures, India, for the final instalment of the record-breaking film saga.
