To all Harry Potter fans... your opinions on this TERRIBLE news please:?

Question

The Half Blood Prince Movie has been pushed back to July 09

http://the-leaky-cauldron.org/2008/8/14/half-blood-prince-movie-pushed-to-july-2009

I am so unbelievably mad at Warner Brothers right now. I actually cried when I found out. I am now trembling and I feel sick.....

And before anybody suggests - there is no way that this can be a joke. Anybody who knows the guys at TLC knows they would not joke about something like this.

The thing is - Warner Brothers must have known for ages that it wouldn't be finished on time. They could have warned us before now - before the teaser trailer came out - before all our excitement reached this level. I feel this is a BAD decision on their part, but this is purely my opinion.

Now I would like to know yours. Fans and non-fans, please answer.

How did you react when you found out? How do you feel about WB now? How are you going to cope for the extra months? How well/badly do you think WB have been in releasing this information to the world?

And, perhaps the most worrying question of all:

*whispers*

What about the Twilighters? :S

Answer 3

Answer 4

yeah thts so completely unfair!!!!!!!!

Answer 5

omg this sucks, i was really looking forward to seeing it too...and the day it was suppose to come out was my friends b-day and shes a HUGE Harry Potter nerd.

Answer 6

its just a movie....GET OVER IT!!!!!!!!!!!1

Answer 7

i want to hurt wb so bad, this pisses me off. we finally get a trailer and they delay us

it seems so greedy of them. they just finally put out the trailer and now they have to take all of it back or it will mess up sales for the new release date

Answer 8

I'll see it when it comes out and I can find many more things in life to stress about

Answer 9

I was really looking forward to seeing the 6th movie.But I guess it is not something to weep over,there are plenty of other movies WB are making just as good.

Answer 10

We-ell. . . this really doesn't bother me much. I mean, I am a huge Harry Potter fan and all but the movies just aren't that good. I've seen the first four as they come on ABC, and I hope they are better than the previous, but I've always been disappointed. I won't be going out to theaters to see it, anyways. And I can still read the book over again, which is infinitely more satisfying.

Answer 11

Wow, I hadn't known they had changed the date! That seriously sucks. :( Of course there's nothing we can do about it except wait

Answer 12

Just so you know, this had nothing to do with the writers strike!

The movie has been completed, they moved the date of the premiere to make more money.  Probably something to do with influencing the movies chances of getting a reward.  I'm gutted but you seem a little more emotional about it.

You should go to the amnesty international website and find something worth crying about.

Answer 13

First, according to the press release the movie delay is due to the fact they do not have enough movies for the summer of '09.  Which makes me think the movie is done.  This is a slap to the face for all Potter fans. and I am seriously considering boycotting all Warner Bros. movies untill Potter is released.

Answer 14

omg i was so mad when i found out but they said the movie is still on track and they could have had it out in November if they wanted to but they choose to wait 8 months?

At least i'll still have the twilight movie this year  

Answer 15

Thanks, this gave me a good laugh. Now try to find something to do. Maybe work on some Real Magick.

Answer 16

really sucks i was excited to see it... but atleast ill have time to read the half blood prince again before it comes out so i can find all the stuff they left out and changed ( i hate them for that ) i just started the order of pheonix again the other day. theres already a bunch of movies i know i want to see next summer so theres gonna be alot of competition for them with other big stuff coming out. and if you ask me the teaser wasn't that good. it barley had any thing in it and didn't give

you a look at the cool parts like the 5th movie did. i cant really blame WB because they gotta do what they gotta do.... im not to shocked i will cope the extra months by not thinking about it and focusing on school.

looks like alot of harry P haters out there... oh well. i wish i could do magic.... that would make my life.

Answer 17

Um if you are this upset over a movie my suggestion would be to seek professional help.  You're reaction is kind of extreme.  I mean everyone's probably a little disappointed, but it's not the end of the world.

My suggestion is to get out of your house and make some friends.  Live a little outside the realm of fiction.

Answer 18

i was going to watch it for my birthday !!!!!!!!!!!!!

i was crying when i heard the news

Answer 19

Alright, now I'm thinking that WB has been infiltrated...

Perhaps the imperious curse?  

Answer 20

Dang it, I marked it on my calendar in Sharpie.  That sucks.  The only good movie coming out now doesn't come out til 12.12.08.  Sigh...

I was looking forward to seeing HBP, I can't wait 11 more months!

Answer 21

i am one pissed off muggle!

Answer 22

Firstly, the main reason it has been pushed back till 17th July 09 is because more ticket sales and money will be brought in during the Summer due to family's and no school etc.

I am so UNBELIEVABLY upset/disappointed/angry/crushed that words cannot describe how I feel right now. I actually cried trying to retain the fact I'll have to wait another almost 8 MONTHS to see the film. I text all my friends in despair as soon as I found out! I even called my mum at work.. :$.

And another thing that annoyed me MORE is I asked a question about other fans upset about this situation, I got losers commenting me like 'read the book.' Well, Im sorry, but what fan of the HP series doesn't watch the films as well? We are die hard fans you idiots!

I'm finding it hard not to be mad at WB, but I can't even use the excuse 'everything happens for a reason' because the only reason released is about money & ticket sales, but I KNOW that whatever month HP is released it will be a top movie. The one advantage of all this is if the premiere is pushed back to July too then we can all bombard the beautiful Rupert Grint, Emma Watson and Daniel Radcliffe at the summer premiere because we don't have to be at school! :)

I am REALLY depressed though. It is nice to know ome people share my Harry Potter pain! :(

Answer 23

I AM DYING HERE!!!!

What the h**l!! It is completely ridiculous! Completely!!!

Its all about the money, I think!!! I think many people will be pissed off, Harry Potter is really big, and people are bound to be upset! I dont know what they are playing at!

Answer 24

NO! This is so unfair, I was looking forward to that movie like crazy! I agree with you, releasing the trailer was not a smart move. :|

Answer 25

Well, at least we'll have The Tales of Beedle the Bard which will be released on December 4, 2008 to look forward to!

Answer 26

OMG!!!  WTF??? that is a whole bunch of BULL $#!T!!!!!

WB TOTALLY SUCKS!!!!! I"M PISSSSSSSED!!!!!

Answer 27

I've watched the trailer several times on Youtube so I was anticipating the movie, especially seeing Alan Rickman again playing Severus Snape. Guess I'll just have to reread the book, making my own mental movie-mine is always better than WB's anyways. Try visualizing all the spoken parts with your memories of the actors and the set in mind. It could help you get over your disappointment.

Answer 28

Woah.  Breathe, darling.  It's not that big a deal.  It's just a movie...

Sure, they could have announced it publicly before now, but it was probably only made official in the past few weeks.  I seriously am not too sad about this, seeing as the movies aren't as true to the books as I would like.  Hopefully with the extra time they are giving themselves and the two-part movie instead of one, they will do better this time.

Answer 29

im mad but im not going to cry about it...nothing we can do, big corporations only care about the ca$h

>>TOWG<<

Answer 30

I wish it would still come out in November, but I am not going to lose sleep over it.

Answer 31

im a little disappionted but the movies stink so its ok
