FIRST very nice!
still cant believe that the australian release is 20 days later than pretty much everywhere else
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!
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.
Why do some places get it on the 19th? unfairrrr! Thanks for the info :)
LOL didn't even know HP was shown in that many countries. Still can't wait.
I've marked my diary!
YAY! The day before my bday! Happy 22nd Birthday to me! :D :D
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!!!
OMFG I now just read it all and realised nearly every country who don't speak english are getting it earlier!!!!
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! :]
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!'
cooooooooooooolllllllllll l (;
coool :) Nov. 21st usa is #1
cooooolll ! im so gonna watch it the night it release =D anybody know where the premier gonna be ?
Does anyone know why Belgium and Egypt get the movie first? they get it on November 19th and everyone else gets it later? weird.
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.
20? Well I cant wait :) Hopefully first show like last year! :P
wow! Lucky me! M
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.
South Africa - 5 December :D I'm on holiday that time. Yaay!
Yaaay!!!! Thank you!!!! : ) : ) : ) : ) : )
Belgium and Egypt get it on the 19th. They are lucky hey...
Yes. Because clearly, English-speaking countries deserve to get everything first, and better, than any other country.
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 =)
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. :)
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 !!
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!
The petition to move the NZ/austalian date is here(delete spaces): http://www.ipetitions.com /petition/hbp_australia/? e
i just find it odd that the english speaking countries dont get it first becuz they dont have to do a translation
WTF? why are places like Belgium and Egypt getting earlier releases then Canada and the US?
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!!!
hermione93, they don't necessarily need a translation. Neurons, this is a british movie, why should canada and the US get it first?
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.
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.
LOL. Switzerland gets 3 dates :D
why wouldnt they need a translation, tiassa???? and the movie is made in britain isnt it??? why shouldnt it be released there first???
Cool...Its on the same day as the worldwide release in India too..as always:-) cant wait!
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
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
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
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!
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
: )
I CANT WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !
28 november for romania, i just can't wait *junkie stare*
ive had a countdown on my calandar since there was 130 days until it comes out, and now its down to 103!!
