Wow!!! That's exciting news! I really wonder why, though... it just seems very strange to me. However, I'm sure there is a reason behind it... Anyway, I'm still really excited about it. There have been so many good movies this summer- Spiderman 3, Shrek 3, and tomorrow night I'm going to see Pirates of the Caribbean 3- hope it's good:)

OMG NO WAY YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS SSSS


Posted by eyeheartlupin May 29th 2007

Haha well I had already requested the 13th off of work, but I guess I'll go change that.. it's still early :) This is great! Two days earlier! Did you guys alter the code for my countdown clock? ;-) Btw, I'm frankly glad that it isn't being released on Friday the 13th!


Posted by moktrtlocean May 29th 2007

Nice I'm so pumped I know this is gunna be the best of them all without a doubt.


Posted by orangesho13es May 29th 2007

So does this mean at midnight between the 10th and 11th the movie will be released? Hmm, I might be able to go then because I'm leaving the 11th for Ohio.


Posted by GABZx3 May 29th 2007

ugghhhhhhhh now i might not get to see it cuz its a wednesday and theres no movie theater near me and my parents work all day. of course im gonna be the only one complaining :P anyone wanna drive me to see it?! maybe ill hitch hike.


Posted by Miss_Malfoy May 29th 2007

OMG!!!!!!! TWO FREAKING DAYS EARLY! MY LIFE HAS JUST GOTTEN SO MUCH BETTER!!!!! Okay, spazz attack aside, maybe the change in the release date has to do with the release date of the book and how it was only a week away from the movie? I dunno. This at least gives us a little more than a week between the two of them.


Posted by katiemay May 29th 2007

Ok, so this aint good. Me and a couple of internet friends had plans of meeting and seeing the movie together at e7. now what? we see it and then disscuss it when we get there? What is UP with wb lately?


Posted by Harriet_Lily_Snape May 29th 2007

YAY! That's awesome...but I wonder why?!


Posted by rolephant May 29th 2007

Ah well after all that moaning you guys did when we in the U.K. had it a day earlier before. Still i'm happy i got my ticket all nice and safe for the 12th.


Posted by voldy1788 May 29th 2007

Hmmm... this means that when I see it at enlightening, it'll already be out... maybe they'll change their schedule around so they can show the movie earlier... I wonder why warner bros would do that, though?


Posted by Saki May 29th 2007

well I'm complaining that my comment got deleted . . . why would you delete the comment? because I said 'NOOOOOO'? what is wrong with you mugglenet?


Posted by tonks_394 May 29th 2007

can someone please tell me if the release date is the 11th does that mean midnight in the period of July 10-11 and continuing all day or midnight from the 11-12? If that made any sense


Posted by Nessa4 May 29th 2007

i think i just peed my pants.


Posted by IWannaBeAWeasley May 29th 2007

That is awesome!!!! It works out so much better for me because a friend of mine is getting married on the 14th and I was going to have to fly up for the wedding on the 13th so I wasn't going to be able to go see it until the 16th!! Now I can see it on the 11th!!!!!!!! Yippie!!


Posted by phoenixknight May 29th 2007

That's awesome news!! I guess they thought releasing a major motion picture on Friday the 13th would scare away all those superstitious folk


Posted by Saki May 29th 2007

well we all know why WB is doing this . . . it's a cheap move (not in the money sense though) it allows them to calculate 5 days for the "weekend" which means it has a higher chance to crush Spider-Man 3 and Pirates. Now I really would have thought WB to be more tasteful and show the competition what it means to get crushed with only a 3-day weekend but I guess the executives there are as money hungry as any other company. if it does crush the others it will go down as the summer hit with the 5-day weekend box office. if it doesn't, well then they'll be the laughing stock of the industry. I doubt any of this has to do with the book though.


Posted by Destiny123123 May 29th 2007

Oh I CAN HARDLY BREATHE!!!! This is FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!


Posted by starlight_mauraderette May 29th 2007

WHAT? Why do they always have to move release dates to a day when I'm at CAMP? I was all excited because July 13 was the day I was coming BACK. Why do they always have to do that?


Posted by TruePotterFan May 29th 2007

ok great news but is the coutdown fixed? b//c i need to change my myspace then....... l0l


Posted by Rice12345 May 29th 2007

SWEEEEEEEEEEEET. gahh im in canadaa..o well..im definitely goin down south to my uncle's for dis..


Posted by dobby_rocks May 29th 2007

I not really surprised they want to give opening weekend a few extra days to rake in the money. I figured when the UK date was moved, that US would eventually be moved as well.


Posted by plutogirlgenius May 29th 2007

I'm really psyched that it's coming out earlier, but I'm really curious as to why they moved the date...


Posted by Roonilwwazlib May 29th 2007

This is actually not the best news for me. I'll be at camp when it comes out now!!!!! NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!


Posted by keri_potter May 29th 2007

i just want to know, will ALL the count downs be changed even if you have it on myspace? aise from that WOO HOOOOOOOOOOOO SO EXCITED!!!!


Posted by hermy_rocks May 29th 2007

that's good it's earlier, but since i'm taking morning classes at a local college, i might be so tired from the midnight release... oh well, at least i get to still see it :)


Posted by elupin17 May 29th 2007

am i the only one who is unhappy by this news???? the 13th was on a friday... perfect timing.... a friday having a sleepover after the movie, not having to worry about going to camp and taking care of little kids, but now its on a wendsday... smack dab in teh middle of the week... have to go to camp the next day... no more sleepover... this truly makes me sad! i had my whole sleepover planned already and prepping for the trivia contest with my friends for the book release... but now... thats not going to be able to happen at like.. 2 in the morning =[[[[

Posted by dans_girl May 29th 2007

does the same thing go for canada?...


Posted by theaterjunkie91 May 29th 2007

YAYYAYAYAYAYAY!!!


Posted by ugaweatherguy08 May 29th 2007

hmm..so does this mean that the soundtrack will get pushed forward a couple of days as well? It's currently set to come out on the 10th...usually soundtracks come out 2-3 days before the movie....interesting.


Posted by Kelsey06 May 29th 2007

2 Days Early? It's like Christmas coming on December 23!!! But honestly, the longer it the amount of time between OOTP and DH, the easier it'll be for me to have my portrayal of the characters back in my head for the book instead of the movie actors. YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Posted by sillyme May 29th 2007

darn! i was soooo looking forward to getting it early vistiting the uk! now im sad. has the mugglenet countdown changed? maybe they changed the date so there would be more time between the book and the movie.


Posted by Cree902 May 29th 2007

So do we get to see it before the UK does? I dunno why they're doing this? Why on a Wednesday? Of course, no need to complain. This is very good news


Posted by psIEnjoyAcidPops May 29th 2007

is the countdown updated?


Posted by mdiaz045 May 29th 2007

That's so exciting!! But is it only for the US?? I live in Canada so it would be great for the movie to be shown here on the 11th as well!! Hope it does!!


Posted by polkadots56 May 29th 2007

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHH!! that is too cool. omg wow. AHHH!


Posted by icy27 May 29th 2007

i am kind of unhappy with it too. i must be one of the very few though. i mean it's been july 13th for a year and 2 months or something like that. i can't believe that WB changed it. nice way to set the UK people off. i wish it would stay the same. ughhh. but oh well...


Posted by YouKnowPoo May 29th 2007

YAY!


Posted by deeluvli May 29th 2007

ZOOOOOOOMG! so pumped. i hope it's the same in Canada, wait we're not getting a midnight release i heard. hmm. must check out, does anybody know otherwise for Canada? otherwise train to buffalo here i come.
