ABC 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!

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?

I’m eager for the trailer too, but let’s not rush the editing. Principal filming just ended.

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.
