Answer 1

yes, unfortunately the move has been moved to June/July of 09. Warner brothers pictures believes that HP will make more money if it comes out during the summer. Also, the benefit will be that you wont have to wait long for the last movie which comes out the year after. Personally, i think HP doesnt want to compete with Twilight because Thanksgiving is also a high point in movie sales.

Answer 2

Yes unfortunately it is true... there is speculation that it is because of Daniel Radcliffe's play that it was pushed back to July 2009.... but, only the execs know the truth!! I was very disappointed about it as well.  

Answer 3

and now Twilight was moved to full the spot  

Answer 4

Answer 7

NO WAY!

It's not going to attract more people in the summer though becaus people will want to go out.

Answer 9

yep it's true warner bros moved their date back to next summer and twilight moved up to the opening - nov. 21

Answer 10

Yes. It's now going to be released on July 17, 2009.

The Twilight movie was lucky enough to snag that Nov. 21st spot sense it was available.  

Answer 11

Yea the book was released in 2005, but the movie is scheduled for release July 17, 2009 because Twilight is coming out November 21, 2008.

Answer 12

It's true. Harry Potter has been moved to another date ( 17 July ) because Warner Bros because they believe that  summer season is an ideal window for a family release. They are hoping that Harry Potter will be 2009 big summer hit. :)

Answer 13

Yes.  It is not till June now.

Answer 14

Yep, sadly it's true. Harry Potter will now come out July 2009. I hear they moved the date in order to make more money. After HP moved the date, Twilight took their spot.

Answer 15

yes i dont know why but it will only be released next year well in sa that is

Answer 16

It got moved to next year because Daniel Radcliff is in a play that is touring America this summer (starting in NY I believe) that has a full frontal nudity scene. Publisists didn't think the harry pottar movie would do well being released at the same time Danial is doing the play since Americans aren't as comfortable with nudity as Europeans.

Answer 17

   Yes, unfortunately the release date did get moved, the movie will now be released in theaters July 17, 2009. This was done so that there would be less time between the 6th movie and the first part of the 7th movie, but therefore resulting in more time between the 5th and 6th.  

Answer 18

Yes it got moved to july 17 09 because the original weekend already had another big movie coming out (twilight) so it decided to move to a free weeked with NO movies at the moment scheduled. Also in the big summer rush there was an opening so more people would go. BUT!! it had NOTHING to do with the actors or the movie or anything, just a better weekend to premeire it.

Answer 19

yes this is true. it was moved to july 17, 2009. i heard it was because warner brothers made so much money from the dark knight that they moved harry potter so they could make just as much.
