I don't know if a lot of you guys know, but the sixth Harry Potter film was just delayed until summer '09. The movie is already done so you wonder why they would do this. Apparently Warner Bros. isn't making enough money *cough* Dark Knight *cough*. What infuriates me about this is that they "don't have a blockbuster for next summer" so they have to sacrifice letting a movie slip because they don't think it would make as much money as it would as a summer movie. If anyone else feels kind of pissed you are completely open to discuss.

Yeah, it sucks. As Will said, it's a tradition to release it near Christmas, and I'm annoyed it's been delayed 'till July.

I haven't cared enough to read the book, so I probably wouldn't have watched the movie anyway.

Oh well, they were going downhill since "Prisoner of Azkaban" anyway. If only Terry Gilliam was chosen to direct Harry Potter...

I read that they did it because there was a big open weekend in the summer where they'd get the most money off of release. They said that the movie could have been released in November, but they want that summer spot. Kind of annoying, isn't it?

The movie is done. Everything has been finished. I don't know anything about a stabbing, but I know that Warner will be sitting on a movie for an entire year.

The movie was has been done for awhile, and that stabbing only occurred like a month ago. It is stupid because they want more money, it is stupid because you have to wait 7 for months to watch it.

But it doesn't bother me, because I never like the movies or books.

They've kinda alternated the whole Xmas/July thing for the past few films, so I don't really care. I read all 7 books and I think they were great (her adding stuff after the final book came out was bullshit, but whatever). The movies are nice and all, but if you read the book you really nitpick them a lot.
