Bad News For Harry Potter Fans
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!

The Prince Totally Trumps the Titty Model
THAT SUCKS!!!! HP fans are going to revolt!
GAYGAYGAY! i was so looking forward to this:[ im upset.
WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
TWILIGHT!
.GASP.
perez, whenever you mention twilight here, i just squee, and melt
Re: infernodragyn –
I agree.
Harry Potter Rocks!
first off, I thought Twilight wasn't scheduled to come out till December… second, to the girl who called Twilight predictable… if you read the Harry Potter books already, there's not a whole lot of surprise is there? I'm not saying Twilight isn't predictable, but we're talking about the movies remember…
third, I was feeling like Harry Potter and Twilight in one season was a little hefty for me. Getting out to the movies is EXPENSIVE these days. The popcorn costs as much as a ticket!
As long as I have one good flashy book-silver screen movie to watch this fall/winter, I'll be okay if HP doesn't come out till next Summer.
this is BULLSHIT!! come on now wtf!! i was sooo excited for november and now i have to wait till fuckin july! umm pretty sure theres gonna be leaks of tha movie by then!!! twilight… ehh not as exciting as the harry potter franchise!!! this is a very sad day for me. perez i hate u for puttin this information up to burn my eyes!!! THANKS ALOT!!
still love ya though!!!
lol who cares? the harry potter movies suck anyway.
you guys are idiots. twilight doesn't even come close to harry potter's success.
and for you uneducated illiterate morons, how about you read the harry potter books before you try to act like you know they're shit?
eh?
So long as Summit didn't destroy Twilight, I'm happy.
The newer HP movies aren't that great compared to the books, so I really don't care.
WTH?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! I was friggin' counting on Harry Potter! I love "Twilight" and all but it's not on the same level as Harry Potter….that's just so unfair. It's bad enough they have to break up the last movie now they have to keep me waiting for "The Half Blood Prince"? This is BULLSHIT Warner Brothers!!!
fuuuuuuuuuck this! they made enough money for ten years off of the dark knight!
:'(
LAME!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
that's how i feel.
TWILIGHT RULES. END OF SUBJECT.
ahhhh i'm really upset :/
Re: EdwardCullenForever – Touche. I agree completely. Potter is for a younger audience, (and adults who are young-at-heart), while Twilight, (New Moon, Eclipse & Breaking Dawn), are for teens and upwards. While I admire JK Rowlings works, I prefer the conciseness of brilliant STEPHENIE MEYER. Afterall, there's certainly room in this world for other distinguised writers besides JK Rowlings.
Nooooooooo!!! I was sooooooo looking forward about Harry Potter 6!!!! Damn it, WB!!!! It's like cancelling Christmas!!!! WTF is going on with you people, why do you do this to us????????
Are you fucking serious? I was counting down the days until November 21st. Buuuuullllllshit.
Re: AnnaKPowers –
haa haa
your funny…..
i like your sarcasm
The movie will still look awesome in july 2009.
&yes perez, the twilight thought is exactly what i thought when i heard about this earlier in the day. lol.
I think the WB just wants to see how far the Dark Knight carries them.
Re: marisol_lopez85 – will never happen, sorry.
Funny how studios keep shelving movies and all blaming it on the writers' strike. If they don't watch out the actors in HP will be too old to play 17-year olds for Deathly Hallows. Tom is 21, Rupert is 20, Daniel is 19, and Emma is 18. So they'll all be in their 20s by the time they get around to filming the second part of DH (it's been split into two movies).
wtf thats bull! who gives a shit whether there is no major movie in 2009, maybe people should branch out instead of relying on blockbusters!
that has pissed me off i was really looking forward to november!
if this happens to TWILIGHT, I will get on a plane from germany to america and kick some ass!!seriously!
I kinda dont care about potter, but it sucks for the fans, I mean - over 7MINTHS???
crazy :/
i'm super excited for twilight
but this really really sucks!
fucking greedy bastards. fuck WB
July 09!!!! That is so far away!! I'm really upset.
While I totally sympathize with the people who have to wait for Harry Potter, I'm selfishly happy about it: I was going to be in Ecuador when it originally came out, but, if this story happens to be true, I'll be able to see it when it comes out (which makes me happy, since HBP was one of my favorite books)!
But I agree that July is WAY too long… I'd settle for Christmas… so long as I'm back in the country!
FFFFUUUUUUUUCKKKKK THIS!
how fucking retarded is that fucking reason?!
it's finished! BRING. IT. OUT!
buch of money hungry bastards.
nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Twilight! Horray!
WHATTTTTTT ):
im gonna dieee
twilight is awesome
TWILIGHT IS MY LIFE!!! THERE IS NO OTHER FAN THAT COULD COMPARE TO ME! EDWARD IS MINE SO BITCHES BACK OFF!!! YESTERDAY I MADE IT OFFICAL AND GOT AN EDWARD CULLEN TATTOO. I LOVE EDWARD CULLEN AND TWILIGHT WILL BE AMAZING!!! MY WORLD REVOLVES AROUND THESE BOOKS AND EDWARD!!!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO…my loife is over…I'm mad twilight comes out dec.12 because ill probobly have an exam that day…shit shit SHIT!!!!! I HATE THIS…it looked so gd…ahhhh
I just wanna say I'm still…soooo excited for twilight…luv luv LUV it!
(N) : (
Gutted…
making you wait longer sucks, but that adds up to the excitement…
so the next HP should better be good or i'll avada kedavra WB
yes sadly they already changed it on the site it comes out july 17 2009…stupid people ::sigh::
Uh, Twilight will NOT out-rate HP. Harry Potter is the world's leading entertainment industry. You sure don't see a Twilight theme park, do you?
Twilight is poorly written and lacks a good plot. I'm so happy Breadking Dawn got shiteous reviews. It shows what I've been saying all along.
harry potter > twilight.
i'm so upset. i was so excited to see this movie!
wow… what a low blow to all the harry potter die hard fans.
We have to wait a year?? Not fair! Twilight is good but nothing is better than HP! *sob*
NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I CANT BELiEVE THiS UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THiS TOTALLY SUUUUCKS!!!!!!!!!! UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWILIGHT IS FAAAAAAAAAAAAR BETTER THAN HARRY!
First of all, people need to stfu about Twilight because Meyer's literature rivals Rowlings.
Second you can't compare Twilight with HP. Vampires & Romance are very different to Wizards & Adventure.
Third off, fml. I really wanted to see the battle at the end of book six. D: Now I have to wait another year? uuugh.
Re: Immaeatyou – I concur.
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo this really sucks
awhh the movie looked sooo good
, but it doesn't come out till December 12th
but i think twilight will be better
obviously
:(
Sucks that Harry Potter got pushed back, but I am SO freaking pumped for Twilight! It's a really amazing story and Rob Pattinson in hotter than Zefron!
More Twilight cover Perez!!! Please?
WHAT?!
.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooOOOOOOOooooooooOOOO!!!!!!
man hu even watches the harry potter movies anymore? they suck cock majorly! the books are amazing nd the crappy films dnt do them justice! im more excited bout twilight but i no ill probs b disappointed wiv that too cuz hollywood neva dus books justice!
GRRR. IM SOO MAD!! HARRY POTTER HAS TO COME OUT IN NOVEMBER!! THIS SUCKS!!!!!!!!!
I CANT WAIT LIKE ANOTHER YEARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
Re: BenBarnes! –
Never said it was. Get over yourself, oh but thats only in my OPINION!
Just saw the STAR WARS CLONE WARS movie today. They showed a preview for the new Harry Potter movie, and there were movie posters all over the theatre for a NOVEMBER release Perez! You might want to double check your info before spreading the news. I think the theatres would be better informed than you!
dude, i was like really excited about this movie. stupid writers need to get over themselves. oh well. i hope its worth the wait.
Re: val-leeGirl –
it has been moved its all over the internet, check on google news and Twilight is coming out NOV 21st now, its taking its place
i think twilight will cursh harry potter in the box office anyway
hp isnt as good as it used to be
and honestly, i was way more excited about twilight even before this strike.
AWESOME .
twilight so beats harry potter anyway .
i was soo angry to hear this!!! the trailer makes the movie look AMAZING!
but i am still soo excited for twilight, even though i know HP6 will be 10 times better
Re: dailzer – TOTTALY I dont like harry pot smoker..blah::throws up a little in mouth::
Re: AnaKrajinaTwilightFan –
i agree, twilight is the best movie in the world ( besides the point is hasnt come out yet) it IS true hahahahaahha jkjk but i do luv twilight
Kay you know what I totally agree with dailzer!
TWILIGHT SUCKS MONKEY BALLS!
Twilight is NOT going to give me my Harry Potter-related fix! TWILIGHT SHOULD DIE!
The only reason I'm going to see it is because Robert Pattinson (who was in HP FIRST) is Edward for whoever.
So WB can DIE.
Ugh…I am ROTTED!!! This beyond sucks…I was like countin down the days.
at least we have Twilight to look forward to…
Ugh i couldn't even get through the first Twilight book…they are for emo and goth kids who think they are vampires. At least HP has generational appeal.
TWILIGHT IS COMING OUT ALMOST A MONTH EARLIER NOW!!!!!!!!!
No fuckin way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was looking foward to November 21st more then my damn wedding (which is in October)
DAMNIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
no no no no no no no no, i love twilight so this will stop me committng suicide
This is the worst news I have had all year!!!!! Why!!!!!!
Ohpleasee,
ppl can't begin to compare twilight to Harry Potter,
because infact, Harry Potter has been around for /way/ longer.
So in my opinion, any comparisons between the two is unfair to Twilight (the newcomer), which is doing exceptionally well for something that has barely had its time to shine. We can't predict what will happen with the movie or its sales, so we'll just have to settle for waiting.
good, Harry Potter is completely played out.
For those who say twilight is predictable you clearly haven't read the books, please proceed to do so before making any assumptions.
Can't wait till twilight comes out.
hahahahaa twilight is way better
i want to avada kedara myself!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the cant do this to the fans!!!! after all we have done for hp they can't do this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i want to kill the guilty of this crime
Re: AnnaKPowers – idiot
i was going to go to london for the premiere!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and now i have to wait a year to meet my favourite actor?!?!?! i want to kill the idiot who came out with the stupid idea!! I am VERY obsessed with harry potter and daniel radcliffe and no one will come between us, you hear me?? I am going to kill the responsable of this
TWILIGHT IS WAY BETTER THAN HARRY POTTER!!!!!!
rob pattinson is such a hottie!!!
so is jackson rathbone and cam giganet!!!
i can wait for harry, i CANT WAIT for EDWARD CULLEN!!
harry potter sucks . end of story
this is ridiculous. they're scared because the twilight movie comes out a week after, but thats stupid because twilight sucks and doesnt even begin to compare to harry potter. twilight fans………get the hell out of here.
