In fact, it's my hope that if I ever get overly senile that I no longer know where I am, that I will have gone to Hogwarts in my mind to teach quantum physics! Possibly WB thinks that all Harry Potter fans are kids who wont do anything about this delay they've cooked up, and if so, they've greatly underestimated HP's unprecidented fan base. I'm impressed with your blogs. If you follow through with not attending the opening weekend, and if all the adult HP fans add their voices to the mix, maybe WB will think twice next time they think about snatching away something that has been promised to us. Accio! Half Blood Prince! ]]> http://www.harrypotterfanzone.com/2008/08/hbp-release-date-pushed-back-to-july-17-2009/#comment-2642 HPM Sat, 23 Aug 2008 14:58:59 +0000 http://www.harrypotterfanzone.com/?p=524#comment-2642 Wow Sophie!!!

I'm from Spain. I heard this new today and I couldn't believe it!! I was so excited to watch the movie on November and we have to wait 8 months?? I'm really disappointed and I don't even know if I will go on July 2009. I will wait to the DVD. WB has to wonder why they make money... thanks to us!!! This is not the way to treat us. A BIG MISTAKE!! I hope you WB people read all these comments and how fans feel with this decision. I'm from Spain. I heard this new today and I couldn't believe it!!

Seriously, i'm probably the worlds no.1 fan. I'd also like to say that i am totally disgusted by the delay of Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince. I was really looking forward to it. But now i'm going to have to wait till next year now. Well, i'm going to have to wait even more, as i'll be abroad at my cousins wedding. And i watch Harry Potter the day it comes out in cinema but i guess i'll have to give that a miss. It would be a dream come true for me to meet Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint. I'd just love that. Whoever suggested the delay of Harry Potter i hope you're happy as i was extremely happy about the release in November. Well, NOW YOU'VE REALISED HOW THE DFEA;Y HAS MADE HARRY POTTER FANS FEEL SO HOPEFULLY YOU'LL HAVE CHANGED YOUR MIND. AND BY THE WAY IF ANYONE HAS GOT DANIEL, EMMA OR RUPERTS EMAIL ADDRESS PLEASE GIVE IT TO ME. ANYWAY, BYE BYE XXX ]]> http://www.harrypotterfanzone.com/2008/08/hbp-release-date-pushed-back-to-july-17-2009/#comment-2456 Sheldon Berglund Tue, 19 Aug 2008 03:53:10 +0000 http://www.harrypotterfanzone.com/?p=524#comment-2456 I agree with marsha PARAMOUNT should have made these films...so we can be treated as equals! ]]> http://www.harrypotterfanzone.com/2008/08/hbp-release-date-pushed-back-to-july-17-2009/#comment-2455 Sheldon Berglund Tue, 19 Aug 2008 03:49:47 +0000 http://www.harrypotterfanzone.com/?p=524#comment-2455 How does WB delaying this movie mean that there getting more money, i dont seem to understand this.

Personally, I'm boycotting their films until the movie is released. If the July release stands, I may even wait until the DVD is released. The greedy bastards need a lesson & the books are better anyway. ]]> http://www.harrypotterfanzone.com/2008/08/hbp-release-date-pushed-back-to-july-17-2009/#comment-2377 cleo Sun, 17 Aug 2008 14:26:22 +0000 http://www.harrypotterfanzone.com/?p=524#comment-2377 WB has made a HUGE mistake!! How dare they hold the HBP hostage!! My family and friends will not be going to the theater to see any more of WB movies.. I hope they have enjoyed our money, they wont be getting anymore.

We are J.K. fans. I just can’t believe when she gave you the right to make her books into movies’ she thought you would treat her fans like this. I really hope she put out another set of books on hogwarts and this time let Paramount do them. ]]> http://www.harrypotterfanzone.com/2008/08/hbp-release-date-pushed-back-to-july-17-2009/#comment-2358 HPM Sat, 16 Aug 2008 10:05:49 +0000 http://www.harrypotterfanzone.com/?p=524#comment-2358 Grrrrrrr!!!!

Even worse than the wait for the HBP teaser trailer, which I have to say for me, was worth the wait ! Today, is also the day the WB sunk lower than low. Today Warner Brothers has basically called us a bunch of Idiots to our faces !!! They have basically said we are such stupid fangirls/fanboys that we will flock to a movie no matter when then decide to release. They said we'll give a press release to them that basically tells ays we are movie the Harry Potter movie back til July ,so our already billion dollar company can make even more money. And OH! This will work because you know those kids that love the series, the characters, the plot, and the author whole- heartdly will come no matter when its released !!!! (And Ive even heard from a friend, there doing this to make room for the Dark Knight so it can continue to earn the big bucks, through November and maybe earn more than Titanic, but thats just a rumor !) To me, this is UNFORGIVEABLE !!!!!!!!!! The movie is done, finished, post production has been completed as scheduled. Thats what makes this even more annoying... the movie is COMPLETELY done, yet their sitting on it for 9 months. They're not editing it, fixing it, buffing it up, nothing. The movie they have now is the same thing we"ll be watching nearly a year from now. That is most disturbing part !! So because of blatant attempt by WB to make us look like fools,I purpose we as fans show the WB we are not pushovers and hit them where it hurts !!! The box office !!!! I will sign these petition floating around, even though we all know from years of experience this will go nowhere, and I wont boycott the WB because we also all know if we stop buying there merchandise it also wont help. So I say we dont see the movie !!! Before you turn a deaf ear!!! Please hear me out !!!!! Because I know all of us as Potter fans will still go and see the movie , but I purpose not one fan but a ticket for opening night of the movie !!!!! We Have, i believe 355 more days whats one more ???? That means no midnight releases and NO FRIDAY SHOWS AT ALL !!!!! Because if you think about it opening night is one of the most important nights of opening weekend !!! We would be proving a point to the WB that we, the fans and customer, should have a say in the movies !!!! (Also, I feel instead of these petitons how bout we righ letters to Leavenden Studios and WB, fill there mailboxs with mail like the Dursleys House, make rants on Youtube, make videos and send them to the WB, write to entertainment magazines and Newspapers something that will get us heard !!!! ) So, I say all this to say, lets finally be heard as fans and the co-creaters of this franchise like we actually are and not be patient and fight for our right to be HEARD !!!! If your older sibling told you to wait while they opened your christmas presents and then told you to wait 8 months until they would give it to you would you wait or would you fight for was rightfully yours. I hope you guys would take the ladder !! So, I opened this topic to see how you guys would feel about this and to hear how you reacted when you heard. - Sophie P.s. - sry for any typos or grammatical errors, just started ranting and got a little into it !!

The last one was choppy even though I had read the book numerous times and could make the connections between the sound bite type scenes. Maybe their choice of director is coming back to bite them on the backside. I say this because the studio heads just recently viewed the film, and suddenly they move it back 8 months. Maybe for a complete re-edit? I say this because the studio heads just recently viewed the film, and suddenly they move it back 8 months. Maybe for a complete re-edit?

It is a disgrace that they would do this to us. What's more, the movie is FINISHED, so it will sit for 8 months. They will not be making it better. We must unite! We can change this. Sign petitions, boycott, do everything you can to get the rightful release date back. Sending e-mails to complain is great, but may i recommend good old-fashioned mail? If we can clog up their post with letters complaining, they may crack. They are already under strain as we can see in their recent statement. They love us... HAH! They are just in this for the money and are greedy fools. We can defeat them. We have to get our release date back. If not, I personally will boycott the first week of the movie. I've waited so long, i guess I can wait longer. Wouldn't it be great if no one went to the midnight release? Or if we all showed up on November 21 at our local theater and asked for tickets for Harry Potter? We have to make our voices heard. ]]> http://www.harrypotterfanzone.com/2008/08/hbp-release-date-pushed-back-to-july-17-2009/#comment-2336 Gillian Fri, 15 Aug 2008 16:28:11 +0000 http://www.harrypotterfanzone.com/?p=524#comment-2336 This morning when i heard the news i was livid! how dare warner bros show trailers, advertise and do everything they can to promote afilm which tehy are now postponing due to "writers strike" and "making more money in the summer"...the only reason they are postponing it is to make more money and to fill their wallets, dont they no this is the biggest fanbase of all time and it is US who pays their salaries???? warner bros is nothing but a pack of greedy, ignorant, disgraceful pigs who dont think of anyone but their own paypackets. Harry potter fans all over the world should unite and do a petition, get one made, signed and sent off to them.. We have a voice, lets use it! o and for the comment on making more money in the summer/??? nomatter what date you release a film of harry potter *be it christmas day* it will still be a massive hit as harry potter gathers the biggest crowd, Warner bros must be thick to not know that. JK Rowling is probably as unimpressed as the fans are hurt and at least she puts fans first. ]]> http://www.harrypotterfanzone.com/2008/08/hbp-release-date-pushed-back-to-july-17-2009/#comment-2335 LRazor Fri, 15 Aug 2008 15:31:07 +0000 http://www.harrypotterfanzone.com/?p=524#comment-2335 Sign the petition here, remove spaces - http :// www . petitionspot . com / petitions / harrypotter6 / ]]>
