Great was the anger released by Harry Potter fans around the world when it was announced that Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince wasn’t going to be released until 2009 when it was originally supposed to hit theaters late 2008. Great cries of “boycott” echoed through the halls of Hogwarts… but as time has passed on cooler heads have prevailed and you really don’t hear anyone mention the film’s delay anymore… just excitement as the release date draws closer.
Well, that release date has just gotten even closer as Warner Bros. have announced that the release date for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince has been moved up from Friday, July 17th to Wednesday, July 15th. Now, I’m sure those 2 days don’t make up for the 5 months delay… but Potter fans will take it.
As for myself, it’s well documented that I’m not a Potter fan, but the last two films have really impressed me to the point that I’m actually looking forward to the new film. Let’s hope it doesn’t disappoint. If it does, at least we’ll know it two days earlier now.
