STEPHANIE - DID U SAY IMAX??? - OMG!!! MEGA POTTER

it should be as simple, australia/canada/usa/uk and other english speaking countries should get the film on the same day, let the dubbed translations comes after. I am in the united states, and am partly excited to see it two days early, but I still think it is unfair they keep changing the days. sure, the american audiance will count for a good chunk of the film stubs, but why cant they just pick a day and release the english version on it worldwide.

YAY!!!YIPPEEEE!!!HOOOOOOORAYYYYY!!! So happy! I am sorry for all the people that this messes up their plans and days off work, but I am so happy it is two days sooner, I just CANNOT WAIT!!! Let's just make it JUNE 11th, how about that??? Pretty please??? : ) Seriously so happy and also because now I don't have to worry about the potential problem we would have had here with a performing group who was inviting everyone to the midnight release just to boo at Michael Gambon and that would have seriously ruined the movie for me and my girls. I just want to enjoy the movie! I want to go to every showing! Ican'twaitcan'twaitcan'twaitcan'twait!

This is completely unfair. The Americans get all American films before us, and not they get OUR films first too? Lovely, that's really fair. I was happy that just for once, we got something first, but NO. xxx

I'll agree with you, NotTheHBP. It'd be great to actually get a movie at the same time as everyone else!

Trust the Americans to see a British movie before the UK, we where so close *sigh* Think it's a bit strange to movie it to Wednesday though, now loads of people wont be able to see it on the opening night. Guess it's for the money and the extra numbers.

omg THATS NOT FAIR it should be released worldwide on the same date cuz now people in britain might be susceptable to spoilers.

"I was happy that just for once, we got something first, but NO." I think we got PoA first, didn't we? I agree though; it's a bit odd.

Spare a thought for those of us in Japan where the release date is July 21st! *g* Yes, the premiere will here but who gets to see the movie then?

This will leave OTP with hardly any box office competition until the Simpsons Movie comes out a few weeks later. However, I wonder if the release of OTP so close to the release of Transformers will hurt.

Boo....I knew we would get beaten! Oh well.

Ohh great, another move to make sure they make record sales. Damn it there goes the friday the 13th enigma! and new zealand don't get it first now!! though... the theatres i have checked say that its coming out july 5...

I was in the hospital when I read this, and my roommate immediately said, "She's going to kill Harry -- you just wait. They're adding more days so the movie can earn back the money they spent on it before the book comes out, becuase nobody will want to see the movie once they know for sure that Harry dies." Ruined my day, but my grandmother said that JKR had told people at a bookstore in Chicago when the first book was published, on her first book tour of the U.S., that Ron, Hermione, and Harry would survive all seven books. So I felt a little better -- even though I know that two characters who were supposed to live in the beginning, are now slated not to live. But I was glad to get home from the hospital and away from that roommate. He ruined my whole day! I hope the change in U.S. release dates is for some other reason!

Hey, everybody, get a grip. I dont want to hear any complaining. Sure, I want it to all come out at the same time too but to think that just because you live in England means you should see it first isnt even logical. The movies are AMERICAN. Warner Brothers is an American company. Of course we see it first. What are you whining about anyway? You get the book several hours before us. Shouldnt that make up for it? We all know what happens in the movies but we dont know what happens in book seven. Think of the spoilers the Americans get from being in a different time zone.

they changed it because July 11 is my birthday!
