You know in Germany because their box office thingy opens on Thursdays the release date is earlier than everywhere else. It should be the same thing here.

Only 883 signatures.

well we (as in Asutralia) always gets the harry potter movies later than the rest of the world so it fits in with our school holidays and thus so the cinemas make more money

 

[0Jade0]

Stuff school kids and money. I am more important.

 

[The_highwayman]

two months? thats a long time. I thought waiting a few more weeks for goblet of fire was bad. Well you know what this is going to do.. make people download it illegally

our convict heritage guarantees it!

[bscienceboi]

HAha online petitions are easy to 'forge'.

 

[Bunny04]

awww 2 months!!! That's not right! Everyone will find out details and crap. That's not good.
awww stupid warner bros.

A petition isn't going to change anything. Releasing it near the school holidays makes more money for Warner Bros and that's how it will stay.

 

[Bobness]

You're spoiling the fun of signing this petition

 

[PaleReflection]

It's going to bastardise the book anyway. They couldn't condense PoA or GoF properly without leaving out significant plot details, so imagine what OotP will be like.

i have low expectations about this film. hopefully it wont be as bad as the last movie. i loved how great Hermoine and Cho Chang looked, also Fleur Delacour in the swimsuit, but even they couldn't save it from Dumbledore's atrocious representation. that killed it for me.

 

[passion89]

Yeah I agree dumbledore wasn't dumbledore in this movie. Personally I think none of the HP movies lived up to the expectations.

 

[Mongke]

oh bugga what can you do about it? just have to dl it illegally as others have said :uhhuh:

I didn't mind the first two Harry Potter films (I saw the first movie then decided to read the books). They at least seemed magical. The place is supposed to be this wondrous wizard world and yet in the last two movies, especially POA, it comes across as the some sort of depressing graveyard.
Trying to change Dumbledore's character was a big mistake. Once someone testablishes a character, the audience usually identifies with that intepretation. Character murder was particular noticeable in POA. None of the new characters lived upto expectations.

If I recall correctly, when I saw The Chamber of Secrets (best one so far) at the movies they had an intermission. It is possible they might make a movie longer than Lord of the Rings and stick an intermission in the middle.

But they have to make it so kids can stand sitting through it.

And Damn Warner Bros.

Hmmmm .. books are normally much better than the movies themselves.

Except LOTR

The first LOTR was good, 2nd one sucked arse and the third one, wel i think i pissed myself 3 times it went so long! Good thing was that each scene didnt go as long as the chapters e.g Council of Elrond!

I reckon the first 2 harry films were good, but the 3rd was pretty bad. The 4th was a bit better but they could have made it a bit better.

 

[karoooh]

Yeah true

I heard rumours that they were gonna make it in two movies .. doesn't appear to be the case

That's what they said about the 4th movie! They won't do it to the 5th!

Or I don't think they will...

 

[passion89]

T the third one, wel i think i pissed myself 3 times it went so long!

The 3rd was the best...
