I just learned that the 6th Harry Potter movie, Half-Blood Prince, has been delayed. I've read conflicting reasons all over the place; they want a summer release date to assure higher box office and longer run, things are taking longer and it won't be ready, they don't want to release this wholesome family movie at the same time that it's main actor is showing his nude bod on Broadway...I imagine all of these are plausible, but it seems like a lame thing to do, to give a release date, release a teaser trailer and then change the release to nearly 8 months later. HP fans are about as rabid as can be, so it seems like a dumb idea to piss them off, but whatever. So, the countdown banner will remain on this page, until the movie is released or I get tired of it. I guess I will just have to see Half-Blood Prince for my next birthday.
For those of you gaga over vampire movies, the movie version of Twilight will release on HBP's original release date in November.
Thanks for the info, www.mugglenet.com

Did I mention how much of a nerd I am?
I just wanted to add a disclaimer about the countdown that you will be seeing here for the next few months--I am a giant Harry Potter nerd. I've said it before. I am not proud of it, but it is true. I can have hours long philosophical discussions about the wizarding world, argue intelligently about the merits of specific types of wands or the value of different spells over others. I am intimately familiar with the characters' lives. It is a sickness.
I had only watched two of the movies until last summer, when I started reading the books. I finished #6 at about the time that #7 (a masterpiece) was released. I am actually glad that I came to Potter late in the game--I can't imagine how painful it would have been to wait years for the next installment.
I was sort of disappointed in the 5th movie. I can give you a long diatribe as to why, but if you really want to know, you'll have to just ask. I am really looking forward to the next movie.
Thus the countdown banner.
