Yeah, I saw this last night and OMFG SO EXCITED!! HURRAY!! November can't get here quickly enough!

From the looks of the teaser, this is gonna be freaking awesome. I love the scene at the orphanage with Wee Voldy & Dumbledore - it looked perfect.

I'm really curious about the Ginny scene too...I'm pretty sure that was her outside in her robe, but for the life of me, I can't think of any scene like that in the book. 'Course, it's been awhile since I read it, but still....I think it might be a dream sequence or something....

And OMG Ron!!

Though I don't know if that was really the scene where he gets poisoned. Doesn't that happen at Slughorn's holiday party? In the trailer, it looked like Ron was wearing lounging/PJ clothes and they weren't at a party....so maybe it's when he eats the love chocolates, hehe

But in any case, yes, this movie looks flippin' awesome and I'm so doing the 'go see it at midnight' thing!!!

i am so psyched about this movie!! we get it over here dec 11; we're last if im not mistaken; which sucks but still it'll be awesome!!

im with you RE: draco and snape karolina; malfoy especially has a massive role on book 6 and it'd suck major ass if it only gets skated over. Or totally left out like the Rita Skeeter/Animagus thing

and all that Krum/Hermione stuff

but woot for Ginny/Harry stuff!

I just loved this trailer so much!! I was also a bit disappointed that there was no Snape or Draco in the trailer at first, but I think it was a good thing to do! This is just the tease trailer, so they`re only telling one story, And I think it looked great! Much better than all the other teaser trailers we`ve seen! I`m almost sure we`ll get at least a bit of Snape and Draco with the full lengh trailer, and much, much more when he movie comes out!! I can`t wait!!!

Half-Blood Prince delayed until July 17th, 2009

Warner Brothers has just announced that Half-Blood Prince will be delayed. The film will instead be released on July 17th, 2009. From the press release:

In making the announcement, Mr. Horn stated, “Our reasons for shifting ‘Half-Blood Prince’ to summer are twofold: we know the summer season is an ideal window for a family tent pole release, as proven by the success of our last Harry Potter film, which is the second-highest grossing film in the franchise, behind only the first installment. Additionally, like every other studio, we are still feeling the repercussions of the writers’ strike, which impacted the readiness of scripts for other films—changing the competitive landscape for 2009 and offering new windows of opportunity that we wanted to take advantage of. We agreed the best strategy was to move ‘Half-Blood Prince’ to July, where it perfectly fills the gap for a major tent pole release for mid-summer.”

It's not fair

Omg, I know! I'm so pissed off about this. I can't believe that the WB pulled a stunt like this. That movie is going to make money whether you release it in November or you release it in July - people are still gonna see it.

If the film was behind on production, I could understand, but for them to delay the release and say "no the film is on schedule, we just want to make more money", 3 freaking months before it's supposed to be released? That's a real ASSHAT move. I really think this is an enormous "f--k you" to the fans. It really is. I have half a mind to boycott the movie unless it comes out in November, like it's supposed to. But I know i couldn't do that...I'm too weak!!

Oh, and I think Entertainment Weekly should pursue legal action - so the day after they changed the release date, I got my EW in the mail. What's on the cover?

Harry Potter. For their FALL Movie Preview. And EW and WB are owned by the same company. They couldn't have, you know, let EW in on the fact they were changing the release date? They even said, they'd been considering changing it for at least two or three weeks prior to when they did. So knowing that EW had a fall preview coming out with HP as their lead story, they just 'forgot' to mention it to them? *shakes head*

I don't agree.

While I am disappointed and I was shocked to hear about it as well, I understand why they did it.

LOST was affected by the Writers' Strike, and so was the writing of the movies. I believe that they want it to be great when it's released and believe that they were afraid that being released in November might be too soon and it just might not be as great as the previous movies. Also, it's hard for teenagers and other kids to get out and see it especially during family holidays, and the summer is better to get more teenagers and adults out to see the movies.

While disappointed, i don't blame them. I know it'll be great and it sucks I have to wait longer, but on the upside it squeezes the wait between HPB and the first part of Deathly Hallows down to 18 months, instead of waiting two years between the movies.

While I agree I don't like the move, I do believe it is for a decent reason and am still excited to see it, even if it's not until summer.

Actually - the move had nothing to do with the script at all. The movie is pretty much complete. They said the the release date move had nothing to do with the film itself not being ready. The writers strike had no effect on the finished HBP film whatsoever.

What they said was that due to the writer's strike - other films (most likely some of the other big summer blockbusters) were not ready or had been impacted by the strike so they could not be released in the summer like they were supposed to. Therefore, certain dates opened up on the summer movie schedule and the WB decided to take advantage of that, pushing HBP forward to July 17th.

It's a marketing move, pure and simple. Because the summer is always a big time for movies, and especially in the case of The Dark Knight - WB saw an opportunity to make more money. That's why they changed the date.

I understand why they did it. I just don't agree with it. I think Harry Potter is a big enough franchise that the loyal and devoted fans will go see it no matter when it comes out. Fall, Winter, Spring or Summer - that movie will be a blockbuster no matter when it is released. And like I said, if it had something to do with the film not being finished or completed, I'd be sad, but i wouldn't be too broken up about it. I want the film to be awesome just as much as they do. But this was a purely greed-driven marketing move, and I really have issues with that. Especially since the film is essentially completed.

The only good thing that i can see happening with this though, is that they can test-screen and if things aren't up to par, they have time to re-edit and reshoot. But that's about it.
