THID IS NOT A JOKE

Just in case any of you have not heard , the new Harry Potter movie The Half Blood prince has been pushed back till summer 2009. I’m a fan of both the books and the films and I think this ridiculous , they pissed off a lot of fans , just head over mugglent and you’ll see what I mean. They made enough money out the last 5 so why are doing this I was looking forward to it. So if your like me pissd off about this join this person Howler campaign.

Knock on from the writers strike, and the need for a flagpole summer movie next year.

Incidently they're also going to re-release The Dark Knight with an extended IMAX showing around the time of the DVD release, so it's Batman from now until next summer

Sad Professor

Aren't they splitting the last film in half as well? Warners are really milking every last drop from this franchise.

Star Trek has also been pushed back until May of 2009. Are there many films being pushed back to next year?

What's wrong with Harry Potter

nothing really, it's just silly kiddies fluff, harmless I suppose, but it makes me laugh to see people actually excited about it

It's a big deal to people that like a good movie and have seen them all since they started making them. What is Fluff. I have always wondered that

From now until next summer, there is nothing of commercial signifacance

On the contrary, the target market makes up for a huge amount of cinema goers, which makes the movie very important in the release schedule, pushing Harry back until summer, means we've an extremely barron run until then.

The movies are actually incredibly well shot, and the direction and pacing of each movie is spot on, I'm not a fan of the subject matter, but you can't argue with the quality.

I wasn't a fan of the Rowling books, but the Harry Potter films have assembled one of the best casts of British actors I've ever seen. I'm addicted to them just in order to see Britain's (and Ireland's) best at work. You can't deny that a movie franchise that synthesizes the talents of the following actors isn't at least worth some excitement:

Richard Harris, Michael Gambon, Alan Rickman, Jim Broadbent, Richard Griffiths, John Hurt, Gary Oldman, Ralph Fiennes, Maggie Smith, Kenneth Brannagh, Emma Thompson, Robbie Coltrane, Timothy Spall, Helena Bonham Carter, David Tennant, Jason Isaacs, Ralph Ineson, Brendan Gleeson, Fiona Shaw, David Thewlis, Julie Walters, Jim Norton, Miranda Richardson, Lee Ingleby, Julie Christie, Julian Glover, Peter Cartwright, Zoe Wanamaker, Imelda Staunton, Dawn French, Paul Whitehouse, Mark Williams, Shirley Henderson, Rik Mayall and John Cleese.

There's someone there from every walk of British drama. I can't help but wish that they'd add some of my other faves just to get them all in, like Jeremy Irons, Patrick Stewart, Brian Blessed, Derek Jacobi, Paul Bettany, Sian Phillips, Ian McKellen, Ian Holm, Christopher Lee, Iain MacDiarmid, Cillian Murphy, etc.

But how can you not agree that any film event involving these giants is something more than "silly fluff" ?

Watching, for instance, Alan Rickman deliver his lines with that cool, perfectly measured insinuating sneer is worth the price of admission alone.

It's a feast of acting talent.

That's what had me excited.

If only Peter Jackson had cast his trilogy this way, it would have been much much more tolerable for me.
