omgg!!!!!! only 42 days now! we need to update this countdown!! omgg so excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !! why was it changed tho?


Posted by jadeblack May 29th 2007

I'm torn! The wait is now shorter.(Awsome!!!! ) However, I wanted to have a party Friday before the Movie. Strait to the movie now. I will be worth less than a penny at work the next day!!!!!!!!!


Posted by The6thHorcrux May 29th 2007

No offense to anybody or anything, but why is everyone getting all excited. It's only 2 days. I mean, if it were the book then i would be excited, but it's one of the movies, so i don't see why everyone is getting so excited over it.


Posted by potter5674 May 29th 2007

is this for both U.S and England or just England?


Posted by Serinity May 29th 2007

What about Canada? do we get it on the 11th too then?


Posted by deathcabforcutie May 29th 2007

lol everyone is freaking out. its only two days you guys. if it was like 2 weeks then it would be really exciting, but two days isnt that big. but never the less, it is nice to have it earlier


Posted by raspberrylemonade08 May 29th 2007

OMG! Yay!...OW! I think I just broke my knee because I just jumped up at my computer and hit my knee on the desk. I'm going to go do the happy dance (or limp) around my living room now! OLE!

Heh this movie better totally pwn Pirates


Posted by harry_potter_freak94 May 29th 2007

OMG!!!!! 2 days earlier!!!!! GO WARNER BROS!!!!! good job high five!!!!!


Posted by LadyEvelyn May 29th 2007

SWEETNESS!!!! I wonder why they changed it though. Not many people go to the movies on a Wednesday.....but I'd say it won't matter for HP.


Posted by nattle May 29th 2007

OMG NO!!!!!!!!!! I MADE MY FAMILY PLAN THE FAMILY REUNION AROUND THE 13TH!!! SOOOOOO NOT FAIR!!! idk what im gonna do!!


Posted by Juliowyn May 29th 2007

I am very excited about the change. I hadbeen planning to go see the movie at midnight, but plans conflicted with the 13th, so I had given up on the idea. Now, however, I'll be free for the 11th, so I am SO excited. :)


Posted by pygmypuff811 May 29th 2007

i'm not complaining...thats amazing!!...but i don't get it...a wednesday?


Posted by pat6290 May 29th 2007

so, waht about other english speaking countries. I mean i know the world revolves around america but why does everybody else get jipped


Posted by hgshipper31 May 29th 2007

To tell the truth I am not that excited. Don't get me wrong, I am a HUGE HUGE Harry Potter fan it's just that Friday the 13 is so much more fitting that july 11. Also WB is going to have to change all the previews now because they all say July 13 and the posters as well. Also that's a wednesday and wednesdays are not as fun as Fridays. Please don't hate me for saying this. Bye.


Posted by Siriuslyslytherin May 29th 2007

That is amazing! I'm soooo stoked!


Posted by theLuauKing May 29th 2007

Am I the only one is is TICKED OFF about this!? My whole week was planned around the original release date! I had to take time off of work and now my last minute costume order won't get here in time for the premeir! Why the hell would they change this at the last minute!?


Posted by seventhsoul May 29th 2007

Good news! even though it still doesn't work for me, seeing as i'll be gone on that date, too, anyway. . . but i always knew i would have to miss the release date, doesn't matter quite too much for me. i'm just hoping to get a chance to see it in iMax! when i do eventually get back.


Posted by jessilvis May 29th 2007

Wow, I just can't believe this! Not that I'm complaining, but why in the world would they change it?? I mean, if they moved it a lot to avoid being so close to the DH release, that might make more sense, but they just moved it to a... Wednesday two days earlier. Strange much? Oh well, the sooner the better I guess. I hope Canada and other English speaking countires get it on the eleventh, too. Still, the only thing that really matters to me is the book...


Posted by sirkitkat May 29th 2007

What about the people who have accual jobs that can not take so much time off work? Does warner bros think the only people that are gonna see this film are 12 years old? I have a career and am already having a hard time schedualing time of TWO WEEKENDS IN A ROW in order to see the film and read the book, and now I'm suposed to take time of in the MIDDLE OF THE WEEK as well?!?!? I happen to consider myself a huge potter fan, many of me friends and associates know me as 'that weird 28 year old guy who goes and sleeps out at the movie theater to be first in line for the midnight showing'. I only get four more times to maintain that status, and this screws the whole thing up.

Just on problem...her flight comes in on the 11th, meaning now we cant see it at midnight together. Yeah, I may be whinning about this but this really sucks!!!!! I'm so bummed, now I'm gonna look like a loser when I go too the movie with her in coustume on like the 4th day or something. Why couldnt that have announcedlikw 2 weeks eariler?!?!? UGH!

Posted by kmg_photo May 29th 2007

Oh hell yeah!


Posted by mrsweasley5 May 29th 2007

My son was so excited to plan his 9th b-day party around the original date which is the day before his actual b-day. Now we have to decide if we want to wait and see it on the 13th or see it the 11th then AGAIN on the 13th or try to change his party to the middle of the week. (I'm a teacher so I'm not working. But other parents...) Either way, it just won't be the same.


Posted by insomnia1505 May 29th 2007

This can't be right. All of the trailers say July 13th. WB has never done this as long as I can remember. Why are they changing the date after all of these trailers came out?


Posted by hpintwense06 May 29th 2007

wow!!!! that's cool if it's for sure!


Posted by MrsRoXtarPotter May 29th 2007

OMFG!!!!! 42 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!! AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! and52 days! ahh this makes counting easier, they're 10 days apart exactly! lol!! yay! can't wait!


Posted by thediarywithin May 29th 2007

Woah...I wonder why they changed the date.

Posted by romildavan May 29th 2007

darn, it doesnt fit with my plans at all! does it count for canada? hope not!


Posted by emeraldtorch101 May 29th 2007

*raises hand* I think I will be the first one to complain. I get out of camp on the 13, so it wasn't so bad that I couldn't go to the midnight, cuz I would see it later. But now, this SUCKS!!! I have to wait two days before seeing it!!! NOOOO!!!!!! *pouts*


Posted by phillipthesquirrel May 29th 2007

OMG I'm sooo excited! This means I get to watch it at midnight, cuz I couldn't before!!!!!!

Quotes
Harry learned quickly not to feel too sorry for the gnomes. He decided just to drop the first one he caught over the hedge, but the gnome, sensing weakness, sank its razor-sharp teeth into Harry's finger and he had a job shaking it off — until — "Wow, Harry — that must've been fifty feet..."

Chamber of Secrets, Chapter 3, Page 37
