Awesome, I can't wait!
why don't they show GOF also?
They need to add GoF to the mix. O-Well
"why don't they show GOF also? "
because GoF was rated PG-13 and it's a family channel, so they don't want anything that might be inaproporiate for the younger ages...like Voldy.
Ah! Who saw John and Melissa on MTV just now?!? CRAZY!!!!!
I think GOF kinda feels left out.... CANNOT #&$^#@ WAIT!!!! OMG OMG!!!!
top 5?
I don't think that GOF has had its cable tv debut yet... they usually wait awhile for that so maybe that's why it's not going to be shown. I'll have to watch it myself afterwards!
Isn't Goblet of Fire going to be shown on HBO again in the lead-up to OoTP? That might be why it's not going to be shown on ABCFamily with the other three films.
When do they put GOF into the mix, does anyone know? I remember it took a long time for PoA to show.
My kids love the Harry Potter music and logo at the beginning of the movies, that was until GoF. Boy, did they bolt from the room when that snake slithered on out.
GOF has been on HBO and Showtime. ABC usually shows the movies first before they go to ABC Family so maybe ABC will show GOF that weekend too. Harry Potter overload.
Excellent!
I live in Canada and I don't have ABC but fortunately I'm in the States this weekend! :)
idk ABC usually receives movies later than other channels
I love watching Harry Potter anytime and anywhere if I can when home which leads me to this thought. Question for you guys: Do you think J.K. Rowling would ever allow her movies to go to I-Tunes for purchase in the near future? I've seen her audio books there. Just curious what everyone thinks. Thanks.
hee hee hee. me like abc family harry potter days. they always show the extra footage.
