im afraid WB is going to give us too much behing the scenes footage befroe the movie even comes out. just like goblet of fire. we're going to see the entire movie in like pictures. sucks men...

No you are not right there are going to give us a little. weasleyisdaking all i need are you the leader.

TrancendingVista - we got our hopes up because WB annouced the release date months ago. When the trailer first came out it ended with Nov. 21 , 2008. WB released the world wide release dates just a week before the change with the US date as Nov. 21. WB has called it a delay so they have admitted the date has changed. How could you question how we got our hopes up? WB lied. I guess when someone lies to you it is there right to decieve you since they own the information and can release it as they please.

I have a question: Did JK Rowling had any "say" ,or something like that, about the HBP delay, couldn't she stand up for her fans? MAN! I wish someone from WB who likes HP would steal the film and puts it on the internet. Anyway, I'm still going to watch the film on July, but I'm still mad with WB.

whatt ? (haripotar94)

i totally agree with you bethinoz. we were so excited and now we are just so mad at WB. and yeah hermy.i saw like half the movie before OotP. i couldnt resist looking at all the scenes and the pictures.

Bethinoz - I'm really dissapointed in the move too, but I wouldn't say that WB lied. There's something wrong in their administration though, because of the mass miscommunication. You know how on the Terms of Use on everything, it says "we have the right to change our policy on any of the above"? They didn't really make us a promise, they made us an estimate. It's like changing your schedule to make going somewhere more convenient; it doesn't mean you lied, it means you had to do something else.

I WANT THE NEW TRAILER NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Besid e...that story that Half Blood Prince was delayed? I'm still kind of confuse... In Portugal (my country) in all cinemas harry potter 6 will premiere on November 21st... If you don't believe, check out this link...It's one of the portuguese cinemas! http://www.luso mundo.pt/lusomundo/txt_ge ral.php?zona=filme&Gid=33 6&area=breve

screw u haripotar94. ur new name is gullible stupidity, ur probably happy becuz it might be near your b-day now instead of mine SCREW U. i am so p-oed it`s not even funny. so they`re letting crappy 3-d version come out before the good version that`s stupid everybody wants it early so they`ll go to that and then protest and leave u moneyless in summer WB, so HAHAHA. I WANT MY INFERI IN NOVEMBER!!!! wtf wb? i thought u were cool... losers, -wontongirl

wontogirl: I can tell you aren't over 11 or 12 years old. Just effing wait. We're all pissed about it and it doesn't make situations better when there are immature people like you going 'OH, WB, YOU'RE JERKS! GO EFF YOURSELVES, YOU STUPID GREEDY PEOPLE!' Just calm down and wait. Please.

TrancendingVista - If I commit to be some where or do something for someone I do not conside it as an esitmate. If I have to cancel I have a better reason than money is more important than my word. No where on any of the anoucements from WB was estimate or "we have the right to change our policy on any of the above" listed. Are you trying to say if you are a big company you can say or do anything you like? I guess they have not really made us a promise that the movie will be released July 17. Do not make any plans around the movie folks. If and when it hits the theatres we will see it but do not hold your breath.

bethinoz: Money is important to all businesses; everything they do revolves around money. They don't care about anyone's feelings or anything; just money.

chommy - For all of you say they understand because WB is a company and they need to make money please read. Harry Potter is being delayed because Horn may not get his bonus next year if he does not come up with a way to increase revenue for 2009. He does not care if Harry Potter makes more money. HPB may actually make less money in 2009 since there will be less hype. The Tales of Beedle the Bard and Harry Potter And The Sorcerers Stone: 10th Anniversary Edition are both coming out this year. Dan will be in New York doing Equus on Broadway. The only HP event announced for 2009 is the movie. Thanksgiving weekend (Nov. 27, 2008) is one of the largest movie weekends in the US. The reason OOTP did so well in July was because the book was coming out in the same month. I know alot of people who went to the movie and stood in line for the book. The actors will be filming DH in 2009. If they are still filming in July will they break to do the film premiers? Will David Yates and his staff miss the premiers or continue preparing DH? If everyone stops work on DH to promote HBP will DH be ready for the 2010 release? How many HP fans will flip to Twilight? Do not let Horn make you believe this had anything to do with WB making more money on HBP. It is all about him and his bonus!

Awww........ I'm bummed!

Everyone has the right to have their own opinion, so if they want to boycott WB then let them. I'm not really sure if this was really planned as a publicity stunt, but if it was then WB got what they deserved when Twilight took their spot. I'm not going to see Twilight; it just made me mad that they took HBP's spot as soon as it opened.

DramaQueen0526 - Do not be mad at Twilight. They made a good business decision. Thanksgiving weekend (Nov. 27, 2008) is the largest movie weekend in the US. WB is the one making poor decisions. The top people are more concerned with thier pocket books than with the welfare of the company.

TrancendingVista - This link is the list of dates WB put out not more than a week before the annoucement of the delay. Please note not one word about estimate or we have the right to change any or all dates http://harrypotter.warner bros.co.uk/releasedates/

I'm not mad at Twilight, they were actually very smart about it all. I'm just stubborn, and I don't think I'm going to see it.

DramaQueen0526 - to bad looks like it is going to be a great film and I am lokking forward to seeing Robert Pattinson again.

Not that big of a loss to me. I haven't even read the book yet. But they do look like they have a good acting, cute cast =)

Sometimes not reading the book first is a good thing.

no it's not bethinoz. i didnt read the hp books till i had seen the fourth movie. i am really mad that i didnt get to read the books first. my family told me who had died before i read the books up till the seventh and i HATED it. im readin Twilight right now before i see the movie.

Oh my darn...that officially sucked! Anyways who was the girl when Tom said I can make things move with out touching them? Was the Ginny? Just curious....

Do I detect a hint of cheddar 'cause that was CHEESY!

wow i had forgotten how good that trailer was 2!!!!!!!!! i even got my dad to watch it twice. and i love it. and i LOVE how dumbledore says ''No," at the very end. that was awesome. i guess that even though the first guy was more cuddly, the second guy (michael gambom right?) has a better ''edge-y'' voice. yeah. anyway..........

Wow! Another new picture, courtesy of WB (*drips in sarcasm*). Whatever.

Blueshadow- yeah, that was Ginny. And I didn't read the books until after the 4th movie too, and I was way confused on most parts. But thankfully I don't have any brother's or sister's to spoil it for me. I think Micheal Gambon makes a better Dumbledore than the first guy. He's more... peaceful?

WB, are you kidding?!

yeah coz shaking harry and yelling "DID YOU PUT YOUR NAME IN THE GOBLET OF FIRE" is really peaceful. by the way guys, i think this IS the 'new' trailer that we were expecting, WB denied that theyve made a new trailer, so the one submitted to BBFC must have just been this updated one.

How do I know that everyone who says they will boycott the movie will actually boycott the movie. 11 months is a long time, and people who are upset now might just change their minds. And please, stop the name calling. It's really not fair. People are upset, but there is no need to call them names if they plan to avoid the movie. Anyway, I think once the movie comes out, people will change their minds and go see it.

"July" - Thats the only thing different. Dont waste your time people.

If any of you is as upset and outraged as I am for the STUPID decicion made by WB in pushing HBP for July just for the MONEY, I suggest you go to the offical WB web site and send them your thoughts through the FEEDBACK option for the Harry Potter site. Just tell them how you feel about it!!! As for me, I am BOYCOTTING all WB products until July 2009, and probably will do so for the movie as well. How? I probably will wait about four days and go see the movie at 2 P.M. when the theatre is empty, buy a ticket for a movie made by any other studio and enter to see HBP. That's our payback time for what they did to us! And I don't care what anybody says!!! Only true Harry Potter fans know what it feels like to be lied to, and treated with DISLOYALTY!!! And we are not happy about it. I would take Alan Horn to the dark forest to have him beat up by centaurs!! Anyway, WB ruined the whole hype for me and I don't want to see trailers or pictures. I want the movie in November as originally announced by WB!! Well, WB will learn a new meaning for the word MISTAKE. WB screwed up big time and I will not see them the same way again. Be strong people and don't buy a thing from WB, just remember what they did to us, and for what? MONEY!!!! SCREW YOU WB!!!!!!

*sigh* WB are horrible people who dont give a darn about any of us! This is so depressing.... I understand why they cant movie back to November now because twilight took its spot, but why cant they move it to december or january. Honestly Potter fans everywhere will see it many times no matter whens its released, so why make us all angry! the amount of money it will make in july would be the same as if it were released in november. CONTINUE emailing and sending letters, we can still change their minds!!

For those of you who do not want to boycott or sign petitions or the like, then by all means, do that. That is your decision for YOUR lives. I support your right to come on here and declare that you will be going to see the movie and that you are fine with WB's decision and that is that. But you do not have the right to come on here and tell others not to do as they see fit. Name calling is infantile, as is trying to control the actions of others, especially on a Harry Potter website. Everyone is entitled to their emotions and opinions in this matter, as in all other matters on here. Please learn to respect others. I, myself, am boycotting the WB until July. I will not go opening weekend, either and yes, I have signed petitions and sent howlers. I believe in making a stand, regardless of what the result will be. I do it for my own sense of self-respect. I feel I was lied to and that the WB misrepresented themselves and the product they were putting forth, only to explain themselves by actually stating it was mainly a monetary move. I will respond how I see fit, you respond in your own way. All is well.

keesli well why are you sending emails to other fans for telling to boycott. Boycott is stupid im gonna watch the movie 20 times.

Ha. Im not even going to bother watching it ey. Just a date change, woopdee-friggin-do-dah. And why would they even bother releasing any more photos? To be honest i think WB made a really bad decision, not only because they have hurt all of us [their money btw] but also because all the hype that they had begun to build is now lost. I don't know about everyone else but I feel that the lead up to July 17th isn't going to be anything like the build up to any other HP movie. I think they've dissapointed too many people and I think the fans are going to make them pay for it. I for one am avoiding the cinema until atleast a week after it's release and will only be watching it once. WB has made us wait this long I think that we, as HP fans, should unit together and refuse to go and see it in the opening week. They've made us wait this long havent they? Is ruining the reputation of WB really worth the money? They better hope it is.

For goodeness' sake, people! Money is the only reason for businesses! They don't care about us, they care about the money we give them! That's not just WB, that's every other company! So please be quiet! Why did they release the movies? For us to enjoy? NO! So that they can get money! That's why the all the good books to movies, and not the ones that no one reads! So, people, stop saying WB are being greedy, because every company is greedy!

chommy - do you really believe WB will make more money by delaying? I know I have said it before but once again, they will make LESS money by delaying. Check out my previous comments for all the reasons.

Ok chommy we heard you the first time... everyone is untitled to their opinion.

Oh please HP fans unite and dont watch the movie thats rubbish. Go watch the movie 20 times like me and if you are saying HP fans unite dont see it then you are not a HP fan THIS MOVIE IS GOING TO BE THE BEST MOVIE FOR 2009 MY WHOLE SCHOOL IS GONNA SEE IT.

If the folks at WB had been a small time business that was hard for money, this all would be so much more understandable. But they're not. They already have billions of dollars. What people need to understand is yes, business is about cash, but when they have so much as it is (that they wouldn't have without us to begin with), you should think of the fans too. What they are basically doing is choosing the cash over the fans. The cash that they already have plenty of. And whether it be Harry Potter, Star Wars, Lord Of The Rings -- in general, its just WRONG. WB needs to be taught a lesson. Because seriously, what if we don't do anything? All the more they won't take us seriously the next time around, and they'll once again feel free to do whatever they want with OUR Potter films. Please, join this facebook group for The International Friends Of Harry Potter: http://www.facebook.com/g roup.php?gid=23 519089579. We are planning live protests all across the world that is to happen at the same hour on the same day. We are trying to get media coverage, we have a press release sent out and everything. We already have 1000+ members, volunteering from places like the USA and Canada to the UK, Italy, and Egypt. We have shirts. We are planning to DO SOMETHING about this. Even if we can't change WB's mind, the most we can do is embarrass the HELL out of the WB in the public's eye for their greed. We have already had a mention in the LA Times: http://latimesblogs.latim es.com/herocomplex/2008/0 8/harry-potter-fa.html and ABC News: http://www.abcnews.go.com /Technology/story?id=5605 992. And the protest hasn't even happened yet. When Harry had a disagreement with the Ministry, did he just sit around and take it? Did he calm down because "Mugglecast" said so? No, he formed his own army, Dumbledores Army to stand up to people who were greedy and only cared about themselves. Please, the more people we can get, the more of a chance this just might work. Its what Har...

Siriusly: 'Untitled to their own opinion'? Learn to spell, my friend. ;) And thelexirumor: Do you really think a company with a lot of money would just go 'Hey, since we have so much money, let's just stop caring about money and think of our fans!'? They aren't like that. These show business people are greedy little monkeys. D: And I don't think anything we do can change their minds but, again, let's annoy them as much as we can. All this boycotting stuff=useless. Annoying them=YESS! And lots of you are saying you will not watch the movie opening weekend; I doubt it. A week before the movie comes out, all of you will be going 'OMG! I CAN'T WAIT!' I know I will. xD And, bethinoz, I think HBP will make the same amount of money either way, or maybe a little less. And just because they aren't at the premieres doesn't mean no one will watch it. And I won't be switching to Twilight for one reason: I'm not a girl.

markstrange CLEARLY YOU'RE RETARDED, I'M A HARRY POTTER FAN LIKE YOU AND I CAN EXPRESS MY ANGER, IT'S MY RIGHT! ONCE AGAIN, EVERYONE SHOULD IGNORE THIS WORTHLESS PIECE OF CRAP NEWS AND BOYCOTT EVERY SINGLE WB MOVIE AND SIGN PETITIONS UNTIL WB REALIZES WHAT THEY DID.... I STILL TRULY BELIEVE THAT HP WILL BE MOVED BACK TO IT'S REGULAR DATE... BUT IT'S UP TO US BELIEVERS!!!

By the way, bethinoz, I saw an interview on Youtube of Rupert and Emma at the premiere of Philosopher's Stone and the interviewer asked when they'll start filming and Rupert said he's already filming and Emma said she'll be filming the month after. So it might be the same situation here.

I do believe that it is a companies main objective to make money. That said I also believe that was not the goal when the HBP was delayed. I have given all my reasons before so if you are curious you can check out my previous comments or ask and will post them again. My point is that if you have or know anyone with Time Warner or WB stock I would be warning them that the decions are being made based on what will put money in the pockets of upper level managment, by way of bonuses, and not what is best for the company.

chommy, It was annouced by WB, so it may not true, that filming was to start Feb 2009 for DH1 and DH2. Dan Radcliff will be in New York doing Equus until Jan 2009. So most of the scenes requiring actors will not start until he gets back to England.
