Oh Wow! That soon huh. I really hope that Tom Felton can make the 6th movie cuz u know they're saying he might not cuz of the age, how tall he is, and all that stuff. Same with Daniel and the other actors. But I REALLY hope Tom makes it cuz the 6th movie is gonna be his chance to shine. So yay! Can't wait and I'm crossing my fingers for Tom! :)

TDeSou, im sure the American fans dont make the decision that they want movies to come out later in Australia, u know, and its not only in Australia, movies and songs and DVDs and that come out later in England too. and it also the same with British movies, they come out later in America aswell.

I got the movies illegally in Shanghai if you don't mind, oh and umm, in case you haven't realized, you Do (well, at least your "producer's") continuously give us the Harry Potter movies late! The only one we got 'quite' early was Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. Then, last year, we got Goblet of Fire a month after the US. And then the US are predicting what time their going to get December Boys - I saw that 'prediction' and it was on the same day as us. And if I'm not correct, If it was the other way around and the US were making December Boys - Australia would definitely get December Boys late. Everyone hates this country - even though nothing wrong ever happened to it. We always get everything late - just because we have a low population, it's so tight. Oh, I made a mistake, I didn't get V for Vendetta and Flight 93 in Shanghai, my dad did on his and my Step-Mother's honeymoon. Pity we couldn't come... but we did have a good time in Bangkok and Ko Samui Thailand. And Dan Radcliffe only lives about 3 k's away from me, in Toorak! That's where he and his family bought a house, overlooking the Yarra River. P.S. - Oh! Is that you GeorgeusGirl?? Your right, you did spell Australian wrong.

I have to start counting down the days! Yippie! Though it seems so far away...


Posted by Rokkan Aug 7th 2006

PLEASE TELL ME I'M MISTAKEN... HASN'T ANYONE CHECKED THEIR CALENDERS? JULY 13TH IS ON A FRIDAY! ... not that I believe in that sort of crap.... ...


Posted by jasmine Aug 7th 2006

"WB has confirmed to us that this is indeed the actual release date. " And the other thing that has been confirmed by this is that Dan will continue to be Harry for movie 6. They'll need a longer time to look for a replacement if they have to recast. Replacing Dan (and Emma or Rupert for that matter) will be a major task.

noooo i'm excited now for it, and it doesn't come out for two years, wait, I'll be in highschool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

HBP is being released on my birthday. What a great gift!


Posted by Brendaisrupertsgurl Aug 7th 2006

THAT'S 9 DAYS BEFORE MY BIRTHDAY, HOW SWEET Is THAT!!!!! lol. i can't wait though but that's still so awesome.... that's brillant.... i love the day of my birthday, best birthday ever, lol. i LOVE it!!!!


Posted by Carol61 Aug 7th 2006

My guess would be that they are setting dates now in an effort to negotiate contracts to "lock in" the existing cast since they are getting older, and since many (like Dan & Rupert) are pursuing other films and artistic interests. The show might go on without them, but let's be realistic with ourselves here . . . whether you like the current actors/actresses or you don't . . . it would be very off-putting at this point to see new faces in the most familiar roles.


Posted by The_Muffin_Girl Aug 7th 2006

...the fifth movie isn't even out, and they already have the sixth release date??? :-/


Posted by AllyHP Aug 7th 2006

I CAN NOT WAIT TILL THE 6TH MOVIE COMES OUT!!!!!!!! I THINK I'LL DIE WAITING 2 YEARS FOR IT. I AM ARLREADY DIEING FOR THE 6TH MOVIE. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ALLIE


Posted by purplepeopleeater92 Aug 7th 2006

What i dont get is why people are so hung up over the 19 playing a 16, cuz in most movies the people who play teens are really older. so get over yourselfs!


Posted by Fluffy Aug 7th 2006

wowwww... that's pretty early to get this info... that's really far away. Even next summer is far away... this info is great... but at the same time very frustrating because it's soooooooooo LONG from now!!!!! aaaargh!!!!!

Too weird. No director yet about arelease date. Seems to me they are in a hurry to come off with Harry Potter!


Posted by LadyM Aug 8th 2006

Kloves better give Snape (The HBP!) more lines and scenes here ;) Snape is a MAJOR character but only appear 3 minutes in every movie! What the heck? Give Snape a little justice!
