FIRST very nice!


Posted by Jayde05 Aug 9th 2008

still cant believe that the australian release is 20 days later than pretty much everywhere else


Posted by yues_woman Aug 9th 2008

Australia still has a later release date? Well then, guess I'll have to turn to the internet to see it first then. Saves me buying a movie ticket!


Posted by Sirius_Black Aug 9th 2008

That's so annoying about the Australian release date! How can it come out in non-English speaking countries before Australia? They don't even need to translate it for Australia, so the release date should be the same as the UK and US. How stupid.


Posted by saramitra Aug 9th 2008

Why do some places get it on the 19th? unfairrrr! Thanks for the info :)


Posted by Katharineee Aug 9th 2008

LOL didn't even know HP was shown in that many countries. Still can't wait.

I'm looking forward seeing this movie!!! "The pathetic delusion of anyone saying, FIRST, SECOND, THIRD, is that in fact such attutide reveals that even though they are blind, still they are the last!" Ovenfresh

the australian release date better CHANGE like OOTP did! seriously, it being delayed 2 weeks so it's closer to the holidays won't make a difference with it's profit. just ridiculous. our country is so backwards - WAKEUP AND JOIN THE REST OF THE WORLD. we can speak english so make the most of that we don't have to wait months for a translation!!!


Posted by crispyo Aug 9th 2008

OMFG I now just read it all and realised nearly every country who don't speak english are getting it earlier!!!!


Posted by Tom_F Aug 9th 2008

Tell me 'bout it.... I'm Australian, but what's more, I think I'll be in Japan for the release. GOD F**KING darn IT

Woo 21st November in the UK not so bad! :]


Posted by chommy Aug 9th 2008

Wow! People are getting to watch it in DECEMBER!? Holy crap, that's funny. xD I was wondering when it was going to be released in Canada. They kept saying 'Yeah, US and UK on November 21st' and I was like 'WHAT ABOUT CANADA!? WE'RE, LIKE, RIGHT IN BETWEEN THE TWO AND WE'RE HUMONGOUS!'

Posted by hp_rox_my_sox15 Aug 9th 2008

Does anyone know why Belgium and Egypt get the movie first? they get it on November 19th and everyone else gets it later? weird.


Posted by professorlongbottom Aug 9th 2008

Is anyone going to the midnight release of it? I really want to, but I have a feeling it will be packed, and I hate crowds. I don't know if it will be packed though, since everyone from my school are now Twilighters instead of Potterheads.


Posted by AccioIrmathy Aug 9th 2008

20? Well I cant wait :) Hopefully first show like last year! :P


Posted by chidarkcy Aug 9th 2008

wow! Lucky me! M


Posted by hermione93 Aug 9th 2008

why do some countries get it on nov 19?????????? shouldnt english speaking countries get it first???? that's weird. and sorry for people who live in australia.


Posted by LindseyBindsey Aug 9th 2008

South Africa - 5 December :D I'm on holiday that time. Yaay!


Posted by rooon Aug 9th 2008

Yaaay!!!! Thank you!!!! : ) : ) : ) : ) : )


Posted by LindseyBindsey Aug 9th 2008

Belgium and Egypt get it on the 19th. They are lucky hey...


Posted by Moonpye Aug 9th 2008

Yes. Because clearly, English-speaking countries deserve to get everything first, and better, than any other country.


Posted by LikexWhoax3 Aug 9th 2008

WOOHHOOO!! is anyone moging to the Midnight Release????? i really want to go. i hope its crowded. i love watching movies when its crowded with all the fans =)


Posted by santix20voldemort Aug 9th 2008

YAY!!! Mexico on the 20th :)!! It's so close now! only 3 months and a few days :D!!! This movie needs to be on the top spots of the All Time Worldwide Movie Grossers. :)


Posted by weasleyisdaking10 Aug 9th 2008

woot woot ! i am so going to the frist showing and like the ten after thatt ! sucks for you Australians :p imm pretty appy can wait for those 103 dayss woohooo !!


Posted by tiassa Aug 9th 2008

why do some people have a problem that Egypt and Belgium get it first? So there is one thing other fans get before you, is that hard for you?think of them. please dont answer that, just stop complaining, Can't wait for Nov.20!


Posted by tiassa Aug 9th 2008

The petition to move the NZ/austalian date is here(delete spaces): http://www.ipetitions.com /petition/hbp_australia/? e


Posted by hermione93 Aug 9th 2008

i just find it odd that the english speaking countries dont get it first becuz they dont have to do a translation


Posted by Neurons Aug 9th 2008

WTF? why are places like Belgium and Egypt getting earlier releases then Canada and the US?


Posted by Rose37 Aug 9th 2008

NOV 21, 2008 COULDN'T GET ANY CLOSER CAN ITI??? ALSO FOR THOSE WHO ARE HAVING TROUBLE WAITING FOR MOVIE SIX RELEASE HOW ABOUT READING THE SAME AMOUNT OF PAGES EACH DAY, FINISHING BOOK SIX ON THE NIGHT OF THE MOVIE RELEASE. THAT IS WHAT I AM DOING RIGHT NOW AND THE WITHDRAW IS WORKING GREAT. TEN FIVE PAGES A DAY, STARTING ON THE 14TH OF JULY, BUT THAT DATE HAS LONG PASTED, SO TO CATCH UP NOW YOU WOULD HAVE TO READ 210 PGS BY TONIGHT, OR JUST FIGURE OUT YOUR OWN WAY OF WITHDRAW!!!


Posted by tiassa Aug 9th 2008

hermione93, they don't necessarily need a translation. Neurons, this is a british movie, why should canada and the US get it first?


Posted by Lorcan_Patrick_McCarthy Aug 9th 2008

Belgium's been so screwed in history, they decided to give them HP first...after WWII, it's the least we could do. And Egypt has some amazing cotton.


Posted by LindseyBindsey Aug 9th 2008

I have no problem with Belgium and Egypt getting before everyone. We're all going to see it before the year ends anyway. And yes they do speak English here in South Africa... come on now, gosh.


Posted by LindseyBindsey Aug 9th 2008

LOL. Switzerland gets 3 dates :D


Posted by hermione93 Aug 9th 2008

why wouldnt they need a translation, tiassa???? and the movie is made in britain isnt it??? why shouldnt it be released there first???


Posted by sri007 Aug 9th 2008

Cool...Its on the same day as the worldwide release in India too..as always:-) cant wait!


Posted by marfox Aug 9th 2008

wow thats cool that its showing in all those countries that shows almost evry country knows and likes harry potter i just fell bad for the people who have to wait till December but i cant wait till November 21 its going to smash the dark knight records lol


Posted by weasleyisdaking10 Aug 9th 2008

throught the world there are diffrent time changes. so it could be the same day at like the same timee but it just seems like were a day late when really were watching it at the same time


Posted by trueligth Aug 9th 2008

Wow the date of release, this is good I do not care that some place are going to be before us (here in US), as long as I can go and see it. Something else I am in the top 50, HURRAY. YIP< YIP> YIP HURRAY


Posted by pottertwilight0627 Aug 9th 2008

I can't wait to see it. It's really sad that the Australians can't see it for less then a month then here in Canada!


Posted by tiassa Aug 9th 2008

hermione93, maybe they let them do subtitles before, it make sense. Otherwise they will never manage to beat up the dark knight. as for britain I dont know, I am not actually in charge of the dates nor do I live there or in the US or in Belgium or in Egypt. However, I still dont see the problem in letting these two random countries see it first, there is a good chance that this decision wasnt made by wb either. For example my country only releases new movies on thursdays. The decion to make them first could be because something random like that. so they get it a day before UK. SO? There are countries who get it in december. focus on them
