Bad News For Harry Potter Fans
Filed under: Film Flickers > Harry Potter
There will be NO Harry Potter movie this November.
We repeat.
No Harry Potter movie this November, as previously expected and announced.
The popular franchise's release has been postponed to July 2009, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
The studio, Warner Bros. is blaming the Writers' Strike.
Because of the strike, some of the big 'tentpole' movies they were counting on for Summer 2009 won't be ready, so they'll need HP to get them through next year's big season.
They say:
"Like every other studio, we are still feeling the repercussions of the writers strike, which impacted the readiness of scripts for other films-changing the competitive landscape for 2009 and offering new windows of opportunity that we wanted to take advantage of," he said. "We agreed the best strategy was to move 'Half-Blood Prince' to July, where it perfectly fills the gap for a major tent pole release for mid-summer."
Don't worry!
We're expecting the Twilight movie coming out in the fall to give us a good fix!

Puh-lease. The Twilight movie doesn't even COMPARE to the Harry Potter movies.
Ugh. This sucks.
The movie looked awesome!!!
*sob* NOOO!
Looks like Melanie is going to shit herself!
Good!….Happy Potter is WAY past it's prime. Well….not prime - it always sucked.
ha ha ha!!!
fuckkkkkkkk
Now this, I could care less about.
Really…Twilight as a Harry Potter substitute…are you high…Besides the fact that Twilight looks like a made for Tween TV movie, it lacks the charm and depth of Potter… so yeah, this sucks…
Oh man:( I was really looking forward to this movie coming out in November. Now I have to wait until JULY????!!!! That just sucks.
I feel like they cancelled Christmas….that SUXXXX…lol
ewwwwwwww. that sucks!!!
and don't compare that twilight shit garbage to harry potter.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
I AM SO SAD.
i love harry potter. i screamed when i saw the preview…
:(
MY HEART JUST DROPPED !!!!!!
What total bullshit, i hate those damn writers for striking! They wrecked so much stuff!!!

NOOOOOOOOOO!
i lovee twilight but i think i am going to be dissapointed by the movie
Awww mannnn!! NO WAYY!
WTFF?? TWILIGHT IS NOT GONNA FILL THE GAP FOR HARRY POTTER FOR GODSAKES!! Twilight is gonna be GAY and NOTHING compares to the books! One look at Robert Pattinsons face will ruin the movie, as well as the book for you.
GOSH.
Harry Potter all the way.
Shitty! And apparently Dan Radcliffe is on the cover of this week's Entertainment Weekly for their fall movie preview issue. They must be PISSED! But now I guess that issue will be a bit of a collector's item!
Who the fuck cares! Shit ass film anyways…the guy that plays harry asshole looks like he has aids.
Re: hottie – lol thats what I say too!
that sucks! they're giving previews and trailers and so many photos of it and now they bump it a year? like giving a two-year-old her 1st birthday party = RETARDED.
POR QUUUUUUUE???!!?!?!?!?! OH
adults who watch harry potter…..creap me out. kids who watch harry potter….creap me out. harry potter just sucks
As much as I love Twilight, don`t even compare Harry Potter to Twilight. Twilight is beyond cheesy and predictable ..
I was looking forward to a good fantasy movie this year, I hope they get their dicks straightened out and decide to move Harry Potter a little earlier.
that's really annoying
OMFG NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! I can not believe they are doing this!! I have been waiting on pins and needles for this movie!!! I want to cry now.
I'm depressed now!
But you're right, Twilight will mos def give you a good fix!!
i cant wait for twilight!!
Are you fucking kidding me?!
Major suckith.
*sobs*
Nooooooo!!!!!!!
God dammit! This SUCKS! Majorly! I don't give a flying fuck about friggen Twilight. HP all the way!

They can't just tease us with a trailor and postpone it NEXT SUMMER!!!
ugh, that sux. And i am a major Twilight fan, i've read all the books, BUT i'd choose Harry over Edward Cullen ANY DAY
this is so lame.

twilight was better than the HP series, and the movie is going to be pretty close to the book.
CRAZY CRAZY CRAZY!
BYE HARRY POTTER, HI TWILIGHT =/
this is bad.
this is the most horrible fucken bullshit ever… fuck you warner bros… big mistake!!!
r u kidding me a Harry Potter movie in the summer season and like a year later????
In my OPINION Twilight is a great series. Sephani Meyer is a great author. As far as comparing her to J.K Rowlings goes, in MY OPINION Stephani is a much more creative author. Bella and Edward are wonderful characters that reach out to fans and touch the heart. I have tried reading Harry Potter and I got through maybe a few chapters, but unfortunatley I lost interest fairley quickly. To all those haters just remember YOUR OPINION DOESNT MAKE IT A FACT.
