Have a very Harry Holiday This Fourth of July Weekend
NewsABC Family channel is set to broadcast another Harry Potter movie marathon this upcoming Fourth of July holiday weekend here in the US. As scores of readers have let us know, the channel is set to broadcast the first four Harry Potter films, starting with Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone Friday, July 4 at 7:30pm (EST), followed the next night with back to back showings of Chamber of Secrets and Prisoner of Azkaban on Saturday, July 5 beginning at 7:00pm (EST), followed with day long marathon on Sunday, July 6 that will include a broadcast of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire at 5:00pm. As readers will recall, these broadcasts are popular with fans given these showings sometimes include the longer versions of the films (ie the deleted scenes have been added back to the cut of the film). In addition, there have been sneak previews of upcoming Harry Potter films aired during commercial breaks, however we must NOTE: While we are all very anxious indeed for some new Half-Blood Prince photos and especially a teaser trailer, at this point we simply do not know if there will be a sneak preview of HBP broadcast during this Harry holiday weekend on ABC Family, and we are working to find out more. We will update with more as soon as we can.
Thanks to the many who owled!

=) Awesome! I will be watching that… even though I have the dvds for all of them. :DD (It’s even more fun to watch it on tv for some reason.) Oh golly gee, I do hope they put in some sneak peeks of HBP! *crosses fingers
I’m eager for the trailer too, but let’s not rush the editing. Principal filming just ended.
Wooo!! I always watch the movies when they are on tv. It is the time that I get to watch the first one. Cuz I lost my dvd. And hbp stuff you say???YAY!!!!!!!!I really do hope for a trailer soon!!
Christine, Totally agree with you. They do seem more fun to watch when they’re on tv.
Gosh i really hope they have another sneak peek! Jusyt so u know, there is another pic of harry and Ginny hugging which u haven’t got. lol. It has been out in the internet since like 2 weeks ago. but yay another Harry Potter weekend! Gosh i want the trailer soooo badly!

I like watching the movies on ABC Family as well and I think I figured out the reason why. It’s like a Harry Potter party across the U.S. – you know that every other Potter fan out there are watching right along with you. Plus, I like how the deleted scenes are added.
There had better be something, ANYTHING with Half-Blood Prince.
The WB have been Potter-NAzi’s lately and it’s time that they give us fans someting to sqwee about.
Hi all, Just have to say I have all the books and all the movies on dvd and tape but am looking forward to the full weekend of Potter and just so you’ll know some of us old folks are cool, I’m 56 and love Harry.
Woo! I love watching it on TV, I agree it is more fun! I don’t know why.. but it is! crosses fingers please please WB Half-Blood Prince stuff we have been deprived.
and on my birthday weekend =] its a shame i’ll miss it though I’ll be at camp
Happy HArry Holiday!!! I was wondering what I was going to do for the Fourth. Hoping we get some previews and deleated scenes.
I am literally jumping up and down!! I can’t wait to watch it with my HP obsessed friends!!!
oh yay! I just finished re-watching all of the movies twice about 3 weeks ago and re-reading the series back in March, but I still always continue to get excited whenever ABC does this, especially since I have been going through an insane internal struggle lately as to whether or not I should read the entire series yet again already or hold off until reading them all again until the fall before HBP comes out which I will do no matter what. I sound like a lunatic, but I have been in serious HP withdrawl lately, perhaps I should seek treatment and check myself into some sort of Potter Rehab. However, if WB would be so kind to oblige me this weekend with anything new, perhaps a HBP sneak peek, then I might just be recovered.
I’m from the Uk, so we don’t celebrate it, and we also don’t have ABC Family. Dammit.
Ah well, I have the DVD’s, lmao!
Oh, I love these HP marathon weekends on ABC Family. The commercials are annoying, but it is so nice to know other people are watching with you and to see the deleted scenes added seamlessly! I imagine they’ll do it with GoF, and that should be awesome.
My gut tells me they will release the teaser trailer with a movie and that we would know by know if it was coming out this weekend, but hope springs eternal. They do usually do a sneak-peek on TV, so maybe that’s a good possibility. It is pretty infuriating, how tight-lipped WB has been. I was sure we’d at least have a date for the teaser by now. I keep telling myself they’re holding out for some really big surprises and that the wait will be worth it…I hope they’re not being so much more secretive this time around for no good reason! They have some fairly angry fans on their hands, and I do hope for their sakes they’re planning on making this wait up to us….

I don’t know why Leaky isn’t putting pictures up. They’re losing a lot of fans by being weird.

Yay! They’re finally broadcasting Goblet of Fire, it seems like its taken forever for it to air! I’m keeping my fingers crossed that this will finally be the release of the teaser trailer/sneak peeks for HBP. It would make sense since its only a few short months before it opens in theaters!
1st?
