A delay?!?!

WHAT IS THIS!

I just read the new Entertainment Weekly with Harry Potter featured on the cover.  I read the article and I got REALLY excited for November 21st.

WELL, imagine my hysteria when I learn that Warner Brothers decided to DELAY the release of the sixth film, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince until July 2009.

The reason for this delay? MONEY AND SELFISHNESS. Warner Brothers (WB) believes that they will make more money if they release the movie in the summer.

After reading Entertainment Weekly, I kind of sensed why they decided this.  In the article, they were raising the question on whether audiences will be interested in the films since the series is over. MY opinion is, OF COURSE THEY WILL BE INTERESTED! Every fan of Harry Potter wants to see the movie adaption of the series, and how the book will be portrayed on the big screen.  Those who have not read the novels, still want to see what happens to Harry, so I’m sure they will continue watching the movies.

As I was reading TimesOnline over this topic of MAD DISCUSSION, someone brought up a very interesting point, that WB is afraid of the movie TWILIGHT beating them at the box offices.  That’s a tough call, I’m sure TWILIGHT will do well in the box offices, seeing as how readers are raving about the novels… 

Well, this delay is just “rubbish!” Maybe WB should have thought of that before they chose the release date of the movie, the trailer and all of the publicity that followed.

Part of me is furious, the other is part of me is kind of relieved because I would not have been able to watch the midnight showing, seeing as how my education rules my life. So I guess its a win-lose situation, but I’m more mad at the fact that I have to wait LONGER! ugh. The trailer is a complete teaser now…and every time I see it, I’m going to cry.

boo. I guess I’ll talk to you Potter fans in July
