Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince release pushed back

[T O X ii C - P o C k Y]

A friend told me and I thought she had heard some false rumor. So, naturally, I looked it up on both mugglenet and Stephanie Meyer's site. I burst into to tears when I realized it was true. I have been waiting for this since I left the theatre after seeing the fifth movie. How could they do this to me?! -sobs again-

I hate them. smile

Hahahahaha! It's hilarious how you can say that and smile!

As a response to the thread...I think a part of me just died inside... emo

I said it with a smile so you guys didn't get the idea that I was going to go kill them or something.
Or maybe the smile just fueled that idea, lol?

I whole-heartedly agree! They ruined my year by delaying the release! If we killed them though...who else would make/produce/release the movies? Hmm, quite a dilema we find ourselves in.

They can find another company to finace the movies in a heartbeat. Warners doesn't produce the movie, an actual person does that razz
They do, obviously release it to, and advertise it, but like I said, they can find another company to do that quickly.

Also... An extremely huge reason why Batman even made so much money was because of Heath Ledger's death earlier this year and since the other movie he was working on obviously isn't coming out anytime soon, everyone wanted to see him.

Plus, last year Harry Potter beat tons of records in terms of most money ever maid in a film so it's not like the fanbase is declining. Hey, they may now even lose money by pushing it back soo god damn long now.

AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Are you kidding? Please say you're kidding? Please say this is all a cruel joke!!!

HOW DARE THEY!!!!

*sigh* although... The Dark Knight was pretty awesome..

But how can they expect to compete with Batman? Batman's been around since like, what, the 60's? 50's? Harry Potter is a big deal,yeah, but it's not a big deal that's spread over practically every generation that's currently living! AND THEY'RE BUMPING IT BACK FOR THAT?!

Popular since the 50's, he first appear in a comic in 1939. Also they don't want to compete with Dark Night for movie awards. By moving it back a year, they move into the next year's awards.

I didn't believe it at first either...and I was most upset untill I seen where twilight is taking it's place, so I still can skip school that day.

Harry Potter movies always come out in winter. T.T

Normally, I prefer to be eloquent, but today I'll settle for...this sucks! My little sisters are going to be so disappointed, and I do NOT take kindly to people upsetting my sisters. evil

I say we revolt! Free Potter! scream

That's hilarious! I think we should too. We'll go with picket signs in front of their headquarters and chant "Free Potter!"

Lol... Harry Potter is rarely ever up for any actual major movie awards that the Dark Knight will be.

It's all to make more money, don't let them fool you lol.

My best friend told me and I about slapped her. HBP is my favorite book, along with DH. I was so freaked out. It's stupid because the same amount of people who would see it in the summer, would see it in the winter too because they are fans anyways. I think they will lose more money then they gain and we can laugh in their faces. biggrin  

[Goddess Of The Impossible]

I was in the middle of a reallt nice place for dinner with my family when I found out and I FLIPPED! I thought my aunt was lying to me until I checked my phone and saw she wasn't... I'm sad to see HP being moved to next year, but I'm also kinda happy to see Twilight moved up. Now I don't have to fight with my mom over which movie was the best one this year!

Yes... They do. But Harry Potter is rarely ever up for any of those... That's what I said.

Yes, they do win awards in lesser known mostly British awards but I don't think it happens very often.

For me, it's not having to wait longer for the film that's upsetting. It's the utter disregard for the fans who've made Harry Potter the phenomenon it is.

I know that "The fans should be treated better than this! We made HP what it is today!" is a ridiculous argument that's used too often, and I hate it when it's applied to JKR, who owes us precisely nothing. If it weren't for her genius, I don't know what I'd obsess over. She can do what she wants with Harry Potter because it's hers.

WB, on the other hand, have basically been leeching off JKR's creativity and the fact that there were already millions of fans ready to hand over hideous amounts of money for anything even tangentially Potter-related. Yes, Warner bought the rights and can do as they please with the franchise. It doesn't mean that they should, when they rely on a group of people who are, for the most part, fans of Joanne Rowling's work, not theirs.
An exchange of money does not buy anyone the loyalty of this rabid fangirl the people who loved the books. Warner Bros have not earned the right to mess with us like this and it's just inconsiderate to string us along.

But that's big business for you. Money is more important than anything else.

*steps off soapbox* Wow, that was more... impassioned than I intended it to be. I might just count to ten next time I'm angry.
