The latest episode of our Harry Potter podcast is now, finally, available! This week's episode has lots of discussion on the Half-Blood Prince delay, and it's also our highly-anticipated final weekly episode. While we're not ending the show by any means, the end of weekly episodes will actually make MuggleCast better than ever when we have more time to produce each show.
- The news of Half-Blood Prince being delayed puts us in a frenzy.
- What was the real reason behind this?
- Were there signs of a mistake from the beginning, dating back to 2006?
- We play some old segments that haven't been seen in a while.
- Make the Connection, British Joke, Favorites, Dueling Club, and more.
- Our final thoughts on the show and where it will be going.

Unrel ated to podcasting itself, but related to the topic of it, everyone who is planning to boycott Warner Brothers might want to use this.

At the risk of sounding churlish, the final weekly show would be more poignant if the gap between recent episodes had been, you know, a week or so...
How am I to pass time commuting now???

http://www.new.fa cebook.com/group.php?gid= 23519089579 New facebook group planning to stage real live protests in front of any theaters playing WB movies world wide. Groups are forming for different locations. We even have t - shirts and all. Just two days ago, some of the people who I saw fired up and ready to take action, saying that they would not let WB get away with this, are already giving up. This is exactly what WB had expected you to do. Of course they knew they would get backlash for their decision, but they knew given a few months you would stop caring. It hasnt even been a week. Even if we can do nothing to change the date, I feel we have the right to let WB know how unbelievebly rude, ungrateful, and inconsiderate theyve been to the very same people who made them rich. With Beedle And The Bard being released, this was supposed to have been a really good end - of - the - year for us fans. But they took it away because they want more money to add to the billions of dollars they already have. Harry Potter has been a big part of my life for many years. I will not take this in silence.

What the heck? Its just a movie. There are more important things to protest against. Gosh! Your lives must be so great if thats what you put all your time and effort into.

Finished listening to the show, and it was a great one, guys. I was just kind of surprised that there was no mention of the negative feedback about last weeks show with Stephenie Meyer. I personally enjoyed it, but I know many didnt.

Let me explain this all to you guys. Harry Potter was pushed back because of business. Simple. Because of the writers strike they dont have enough big movies for next year. They move the movie to next year so that profits for 2009 that will meet expectations. Add to this the fact that because The Dark Knight went way beyond expectations they no longer need a Harry Potter film to boost 2008 profits. Investors also wouldnt have liked is 2008 profits were well about 2 Billion, and then 2009 profits were potentially under 1 Billion. This way the profits will be spread out over two years and the investors wont be scared away.
Guys. Its business. Plain and Simple. The movie itself is basically finished and Im sure its great. They just want to make more money next year and spread out profits.

I think everyone knows by now that its all about money. Thing is though, if they have the release around christmas a lot more people will see it opening night and then a lot of money will be brought in in January and February (and a lot longer i guess) and they would be more balanced but they still wouldnt turn their back to so many of their customers. AND besides, they couldve kept the trailer for themselves for a few weeks and not letting us think November when they almost had decided July, that pisses me off even more.

Aww!! No more weekly Mugglecst? So sad, especially now with the delay of the movie! I guess Ill have to get all of my HP fix from fan fics and Mugglenet now. (not that those are bad things; i read fan fics and mugglenet daily anyways) I guess the shows will be better, though, since youll have more time. ill miss going on itunes 2 download the episode every week.

Elderwand07: Dan does not have any kind of disease! Why do people like you make up stories about that kind of stuff just to worry people and tick people off?! In case you havent noticed, NO ONE believes you because everyone knows youre lying to get attention from people who think youre telling the truth. So just shut-up completely or comment on what the article is about or about some other TRUTHFUL Harry Potter thing thats at least a little bit related to it, like the movie release or something.

You know the delay might have something to do with Radcliffes Bway debut with Equus, which will make him unavailable to do the promotion work for the film during the 2 months leading up to its release. You cant promote a film very well if its star is not able to do the circuit.

Lol. I think Eric referenced a popular Harry/Draco fanfic in this weeks "crackpot theory" segment which one was it? It sounded like "Left My Heart" by Emma Grant. XD Someone should ask him what all that was about. Did he get educated in H/D culture when he went to Terminus??

Alright, so Ill admit to signing a few petitions as soon as the delay was revealed out of initial shock and frustration. But getting our knickers in a knot wont help us. I know that we all deserve a good film, and hopefully, the delay will allow that to happen for us, even though we all know that WB is a money-machine and this decision came from a purely business standpoint. So now...we wait! As for MUGGLECAST!: What a fun last weekly show! I got a bit teary-eyed, Ill admit, and it sounded like a couple of our favorite podcasters got a bit chocked up there at the end. =] Im sad that the regular shows are over, but like they said, the occasional shows will be that much more wonderful! ;)

i cant not even believe that some of u are going to give up on protesting to warner bros. if you dont even try then we will never be able to see it in nov. you are right, online petitions and you tube videos wont work on getting warner bros. to release harry potter in nov. but there are other ways to protest that might work. you just have to try, do u think its going to be easy. go to this website: hbpnojuly.blogspot.com/
it is a great idea and similar starategies worked on bringing back tv shows, it can work for us. write several letters, and tell other people to do it. please dont give up, dont sit around doing nothing and end up being one of the people that made it impossible to see it in nov. because you couldnt send out a few letters.

yes, it IS a business decision. But just because its business doesnt make it right. Its incredibly WRONG. Therefore, I lost respect for WB. They showed their true colors, and IM at least not going to sit back and let them have their way and take my money. No Im not boycotting the movie, but Im boycotting their other ones. We can still try to get them to move to december.. nothing is set in stone people. They proved that already. Just TRY.
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-08-19 12:26:58
PEOPLE ARENT BOYCOTTING THE MOVIE. GET THAT THROUGH YOUR HEADS. theyre boycotting OTHER wb films! ugh. And when they say they are boycotting the HP film, they mean that theyre only seeing it once, not multiple times. geeze people. MAYBE YOU SHOULD ACTUALLY READ THE COMMENTS.
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-08-19 12:46:31
Actually, Ginmo, people ARE boycotting the movie. I might not see it if they dont move it closer to November and just get the bootleg.

Im so very, very sad that this is the last weekly episode D: I agree that its good to do this so you have more shows with better content, but Im going to miss them nonetheless. I only started listening around Feburary 2008, so I missed out on alot of the fun! Love you MuggleCasters xxx :]

I enjoy MuggleCast for its news & views ECT. So I will miss the weekly episodes of it. Since all the HP books have been written, & now with the Half Blood Prince moved back to July of 2009, not much news will be released, but I will listen when new episodes are released online. AS for the push back of HBP that is a decision by WB as they are a company out to make $$$$ period like all corporations are period. My own opinion is that the movie as is now is just awful so WB is going to use this extra time to rewrite, reshoot then reedit the movie to make it great. I would like to see them add some scenes that they had cut to pacify the fans & make it a great movie as the book deserves. I just hope that it will be a better movie than OOTP which I thought was terrible. The HP books are always better than the movies, as Harrys journey through books are visualized in our own minds so we see them exactly as each of us wants to so they are perfect to all of us fans of Harry Potter.

Thank you mugglecast.... you guys sure sounded super happy in this episode! (You sure you werent smiling because its the last weekly episode?)......So.......b y next TIME, you mean next WEEK right?.....thatd be funny if you guys did release another MC this week because there was more news to discuss.

End of weekly episodes= ;(
Return of British Joke= Return of Jamie= :D =SQUEE!
I love MuggleCast sooo much, and am really sad about the "final" episode. But really, it wont make that much of a difference, since, lately, they havent been releasing them consistently every week anyway. Still, at least its continuing..... and the absolutely OBSCENE JOKE of having HBP be delayed has a silver lining... more MC discussion for longer! Yay! Thanks for a great show, MuggleCast!

Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-08-20 03:06:07
I have a theory and I expect this to be deleted - Mugglenet need to not knark off Warner Bros by backing any sort of protest / boycott / petition because they need to keep on their good side to be invited to the set of Deathly Hallows.
I switched off this Mugglecast as soon as it was said that people were going over the top - but isnt that what Harry Potter fans do? We are extreme and we love it!
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-08-20 03:25:41
they wouldnt delete that comment because they are fans as well and not some stupid big corporation. and not everyone there was happy about it.you are intiteled to your own conspiracy theories. mugglecast will get invited anyway just because they are so big. wb doesnt listen to mugglast so I doubt they will even know. mugglenet has been posting the links for petitons and vids etc. not listening to the show is your loss.

Thank you so much for posting the new episode that discusses the delay for "Half-Blood Prince." I am disappointed that The WB has pushed back its initial release date of November to July 2009. A lot of fans like myself have been anticipating the release of the sixth movie. I was excited to see new characters and the scenes with Dumbledore and Harry in the cave. I thought it was a great time of the year to release, but due to the writers strike theres not sufficient films for 2009 that will compete with this years success like "The Dark Knight", "Iron Man" and "Wanted." On the upside due to the "Half-Blood Prince" being moved, the much anticipated cult favorite film "Twilight" has been moved to November instead of its December release of this year. But that doesnt take away the magic and passion I have for the Harry Potter films.
