OMG ARE YOU SERIOUS?? I am completely excited and extatic, but I made a bet with my dad on the release date!! Now I owe him ten bucks!!!!

Not that I'm complaining, but ... why?


Posted by harrypworshiper May 29th 2007

Best news since the Deathly Hallows covers were released!


Posted by Firebolt109 May 29th 2007

WOOOHOOOO TAKE THAT U BRITS. WE GET IT A DAY EARLIER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Posted by chellabella May 29th 2007

HOLY BUH-JESUS CHRIST!!! This makes me so incredibly happy, but I can't help but ponder on the reason of the date change. More cash, maybe. But it could be some exotic original theory that I'm too lazy to come up with right now.


Posted by LOvE_HarryPotter May 29th 2007

WOOHOO!!! That's my sister's birthday, she was like..BEST BIRTHDAY EVER! haha I'm SO excited! but yes, like everyone else I am curious as to why this change has been made, it's a tad unusual but hey! It's still awesome!


Posted by ProfessorChristie May 29th 2007

Scandalous! haha... I'm going to be on a tour in England then, so oh well for me! But that's cool! :)


Posted by jayhawk_1 May 29th 2007

Aswesome that is just awesome is that on a wednesday then


Posted by StrawberryKiwi May 29th 2007

What the heck? Why would they change the release date after it's already been set for months. I'm going to Enlightening 2007 and OOTP was going to be shown there, but now I have no idea in the world what I'm doing because I can't miss camp.


Posted by Godric_83 May 29th 2007

did it change for canada too??? i would die. :( but probably. we always had the same release date as the u.s's


Posted by rinaann May 29th 2007

OMGP that is sooo awesome... i screamed soo loud when i first read that.... that is amazing YAY!!!!!!!


Posted by siriusly_a_fan May 29th 2007

Somebody mentioned 7/13, or 713 was the vault number that started it all. But don't forget 711 is Sirius' vault number...


Posted by empirexstate May 29th 2007

I'm not too pleased ... I get out of camp the 13th so it was like really convenient. And now ... peh. It'll be out for two whole days and I'll be at nerd camp learning chem....


Posted by gallivespian May 29th 2007

If it's the same for Canada, then it's the day BEFORE my birthday, wow.


Posted by imapirate5 May 29th 2007

YAY! i'm sure the reason the date was moved is to compete with the summer box office race. spiderman did awesome in the opening weekend so disney moved the opeing of pirates back several hours to intill hype- and it worked- so warner bros. is probably trying to follow disney's lead- and what better cinematic juggernaut to follow- by opening early.


Posted by lovexlaugh_potter May 29th 2007

OMG WTF!


Posted by Nattyfer May 29th 2007

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAA AAAAAYYYY!!! 2 days early!!!! wait... thats not cool... That means everyone is going to go see it on Wednesday... so that will not count as the wkd thingy... BUT IT HAS TO BEAT SPIDERMAN 3 darn!!! :D, its cuz hp is better :)


Posted by mrspotter12 May 29th 2007

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOW I GET TO WATCH IT @ THE THEATER IN CITYWALK @ UNIVERSAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DANIEL RADCLIFFE IS SOOOOOOOOOOOO HOT!! I HOPE THIS MOVIE IS MORE LIKE THE BOOK CUZ THIS ONE IS MY FAVE!!!!!


Posted by tomriddle936 May 29th 2007

WTF? This is good, but....how about Enlightening 2007? They'll still be showing the movie at the PremiereFest then, won't they?


Posted by inomoreabouthpthnu May 29th 2007

I think i just peed myself from excitement.


Posted by demonchild13 May 29th 2007

Yeah!!! I can see the movie now when it comes instead of being tortured by driving in a car for 9 hours while I could be seeing the movie...


Posted by HpAlwaysN4ever May 29th 2007

OMG that is awesome!!! The only thing is I'll be working so I don't even know if I can see it that night! :(


Posted by Stargrl228 May 29th 2007

Posted by Alina May 29th 2007

Wait!?! wat the hell, they have never done this before! W E I R D...... BUT I'M HAPPY OF COURSE!!!!!


Posted by bachwiz18 May 29th 2007

I think I know why...if it was released the 13th, the UK would have seen it the 12th, and then they have the 13th a few hours ahead of us, so it's almost like the US would have to wait two days after the UK sees it! Why don't they just set both as the same day to avoid confusion?


Posted by ron_hermione_fan May 29th 2007

OOOOOOOOMMMMMGGGGG!!! I can not believe they changed the date! I had it all planned out I would get back from vacation in Germany on the 12th just in time to go to the midnight show!!!!! AHHHHHH I'm pissed...when does it come out in Germany? I guess I could see it in German...i love that it's earlier but gosh, oh well the book is more important, after all it is the last one.


Posted by marauder7 May 29th 2007

wow!!! this is amazing, now i need to change my countdown. im so excited and im gonna run out of money from going to see it so much!!


Posted by Rubber_Ducky2 May 29th 2007

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY !!!!!!!!!!!!! thats the day after my birthday :) :) :) :) :)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!


Posted by BaybeeBethy May 29th 2007

Seeing as it's just the movie, which I'm not overly excited about (although looking forward to it!), I'm not too bothered that America gets it earlier than us Brits. I actually could see this coming, when we first heard Britain would get it a day earlier than the US, I guessed instantly that they would change America's release date to the same as ours, or earlier. Which has happened. It's a shame though, seeing as it's a British movie, that Britain can't at least have it on the same day as the US. Ah, well, enjoy it anyways lol! No spoiling it for us when the time comes, mind. :)


Posted by july21tillhp7 May 29th 2007

o well.. only few extra days wait


Posted by wougal07 May 29th 2007

okay that's odd they changed the date. I was perfectly content with i ocming out on July 13th--hhmm it would make sense they did it to put more space between the movie and the book... this gives people more chances to see the movie and to recover from the movie before the book comes out.... *shrugs* no complaint here... just odd that it happens.... Sorry UK people though... that sucks!


Posted by grandaftershock May 29th 2007

PRAISE THE LORD!!!!


Posted by dementor May 29th 2007

wow totally awesome!


Posted by Image May 29th 2007

DID THEY TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THAT FANS HAD MADE PLANS MONTHS AGO WHEN THE FiRsT RELEASE WAS RELEASED? AND I KnOw THAT THERE WERE EVENTS PLANNED AROUND THE RELEASE... THIS IS BLASPHEMY!!!!


Posted by DO2the3JEW May 29th 2007

im not complaining or anything but that seems a little sketchy for some reason. weird?


Posted by freve713 May 29th 2007

i am so bummed, it WAS coming out on my birthday!! oh well, its not like i have a choice in the matter...


Posted by moonyrocks May 29th 2007

it says on leaky that this is only for the u.s. (i dont know if this is true). and even tho im from the US its unfair for the UK if its released after us. after all the book the actors all come from there, they deserve either first or at the same time.


Posted by Tintinnabulation May 29th 2007

Awww. This is good....but also bad, considering I've been planning a premiere party for the movie and have already sent out invitations. I'll just call people, no big deal- I just hope this is the last change.


Posted by superloonyluna7 May 29th 2007

Yay! im jumping for joy!


Posted by Ginnylostharrytome May 29th 2007

AH HA! TAKE THAT UK!!! (I LOVE U GUYS THO) :]


Posted by flipgirl May 29th 2007

I'm more excited. It's even closer than before. But that means Mugglenet must change the little counter down thingy kind of. I hope they somehow change it to June 30th or sometime kind of close like that. But I'M SUPER HAPPY NOW! YAYY!!!!!!!!!!!


Posted by tonks_394 May 29th 2007

I AM SO PISSED RIGHT NOW! I have been planning my 13th B-day party for this release ever since the release day was announced! I was going to get back from vacation that day!!!! Now they move it to the 11th?!?! Image is right! They should have realized that tons of people are planning their summer around these releases!! Now plans are totally screwed up! Thanks alot WB! >: K

Luna, my love, if you should feel any burgeoning talent today – perhaps an unexpected urge to sing opera or to declaim in Mermish – do not repress it! You may have been gifted by the Gernumblies!
