HBP tops 2009 most anticipated films list
HBP tops 2009 most anticipated films list The sixth Harry Potter film made the number one spot on AOL's list of the most anticipated films for 2009:

'Potter' heads were none too pleased when 'Prince' was pushed from fall '08 to summer '09 -- and 'Twilight' attempted to fill the void. So this installment -- which finds Harry taking one giant step closer to his showdown with Voldemort -- probably ranks as the most highly anticipated 'Potter' yet.

Thanks to those who wrote in.

Posted by LilyLuna Jan 10th 2009

too right, us "potter heads" weren't pleased


Posted by texas_hammer Jan 10th 2009

Aw, you guys broke the "not surprised" train! I'm extremely not surprised. In fact, the mere gargantuan mass of how much I am not surprised would affright the foundations of the world.


Posted by Slytherin15 Jan 10th 2009

it should be!


Posted by heather_s_70056 Jan 10th 2009

duh!


Posted by panda07 Jan 10th 2009

I'm still mad twilight (eww gross) took the spot and we have to wait still :( but glad its #1!


Posted by evanna11 Jan 10th 2009

Yay :)! (not very surprised, though...we've been waiting for this for ages). Oh, and A Christmas Carol with Gary Oldman is also on number 31 and New Moon with Robert Pattinson on number 16. Very interesting list, like the director of LotR making another film..


Posted by krazykobra29 Jan 10th 2009

there are some really stupid movies on this list...but im so glad HP is number 1!!! HELL YEAH!


Posted by hpninjaskills Jan 10th 2009

Not surprised. Ew, why should New Moon even be on the list? Twilight is a piece of crap! Bleh.


Posted by the_shrieking_snack Jan 10th 2009

lmao, "Harry's shutdown..." sounds like a diss.


Posted by flibbertigibbit Jan 10th 2009

well, duh. haha.


Posted by penelope_clearwater973 Jan 10th 2009

YAY! not surprised. I laughed out loud when I read that Twilight "attempted to fill the void...


Posted by Collx3sHP Jan 10th 2009

I'm not really suprised, either. Ugh, I can't stand Twilight.


Posted by oceansurferg Jan 10th 2009

I treat twilight as a guilty pleasure, however the movie definitely did not fill the void.


Posted by Ihadahat Jan 10th 2009

That list was pretty interesting. I didn't know a movie was being made of "the Lovely Bones", or that LotR director was doing it, or that they were making a movie about amelia earheart with hilary swank, or that ewan macgregor is in the "angels & demons" movie... and the delay of HBP made it a pretty easy choice for their #1 anticipated movie...


Posted by alexxx Jan 10th 2009

HECK YEAH MAN! i cannot wait. i'm going with like 10 different people on 10 different occasions. i really hope this one lives up tp all the hype. i'm going to be very disappointed if it's not that good and as bad as OotP


Posted by muttw007 Jan 10th 2009

it would suck if HBP is the worst out of all of the potter films so far.


Posted by bluedragoongal_442 Jan 10th 2009

Of course Harry Potter topped the list, it's only the greatest book turned movie series out there! W.B made a big mistake trying to replace it with Twilight (gag) anyway. Harry Potter kicked Twilights arse and always will !!!!!!!!


Posted by daanahermione Jan 10th 2009

I`m really not surprised abou that!! of course it will be the number 1!! but i can't believe Twilight is in the list (eww i really hate it) well, whatever I love Harry Potter!


Posted by tonksgirl11 Jan 10th 2009

Harry potter people rock! Twilight--stinks nuff said. cant wait for the movie...i was upset by twilight taking its place in the bump-back! go harry not edward!!! ♥

Posted by BellatrixCrucioYou Jan 10th 2009

Yay go Harry!!! way to kick Twilights butt!!! Ha!! new Moon shouldn't even be on there!! twilight sux. end of story.


Posted by mugglelover927 Jan 10th 2009

Twilight didnt fill the void, i deepened the void!!!


Posted by G_wizzle Jan 10th 2009

Tell me something I don't know. I thought twilight was ok...I only watched it because the sexy cam gigandet was in it.


Posted by love_harrypotter14 Jan 10th 2009

I'm anticipating both Half-Blood Prince and Twilight's second installment. I have an obsession for both of them. *shrugs.*


Posted by tonks654 Jan 10th 2009

twighlight sucks almost as much as edward sucks blood. totally not suprised. HP forever and ever!


Posted by hpninjaskills Jan 10th 2009

I love how almost every comment in here said something about how much Twilight sucks. Yayy! (: Lol. I'm not alone in hating Twilight. Of course, I already KNEW I wasn't alone - Twilight's so horrible! :D


Posted by fishtap Jan 11th 2009

Haha, I always knew Potter would be more popular than crappy Twilight. In your silly faces, obsessive Twilight fangirls!!!


Posted by littlezoo Jan 11th 2009

Duh, of course its the most anticipated movie of 2009 ... it was also the most anticipated movie of 2008! ... STUPID WB!!!


Posted by leighpotter Jan 11th 2009

Absolutely, positively, undeniably unsurprised about that...If it's one of the most anticipated of 2008 (@#$%WB!!!), then of course it tops the 2009 one... and I didn't fail to notice this...'a spot Twilight attempted to fill in...', ATTEMPTED being the operative word...not to be nasty but ATTEMPTED is right...


Posted by lunacarrow Jan 11th 2009

Glad to see that it's getting attention, although personally for me it's my #4 film behind Watchmen, Avatar, and Star Trek. Still pumped though.


Posted by peroxwhy_gen Jan 12th 2009

Like everyone else I'm not surprised. Although it's not my top anticipated movie of 09. The one I want to see deseperately has been pushed back to November. Sigh.


Posted by Feathery_Golden_Snidget Jan 12th 2009

If someone calls us "potterheads" again I think I"m going to send some strongly worded letters.... I'd really like to know who coined that term, and decided they could call the fans that. :P And btw, not surprised at the news.. :D


Posted by HorcruxorHollows Jan 15th 2009

Cant believe this it is outrageous. Can't believe they have insulted us by calling us potter heads. Twilight stings lol
