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!

Maybe they’ll announce the date of the teaser… No later than 2 weeks after the movie is in theaters, no doubt.

Hey, Nikki… While many Americans (a decreasing amount, though to be honest a life under those kings would have been horrible) are glad this happened, I don’t know anyone who’s, ya know, got some grudge against England or the UK… Especially since the Monarchy is no longer in absolute power there anyhow.

While I’m excited, I do find it ironic that they are celebrating an American holiday with a British movie.

Ahh This is exciting! I love watching them on ABC Family. I’m especially anxious to see GoF since it’s new to the marathon. So much more fun than watching the dvds! ;D

Anywho, I hate to be a downer, but I seriously doubt the trailer will show up during this marathon. However I would be overjoyed to be wrong in this case, I just can’t see it happening. I’ll cross my fingers though!

Yeah nice one Scully, you go Dementer and wowee wow Kiwi Mc I. You guys are sweets as. Lets try this now. I can post wat ever i choose 2 post when ever i like. this comment area is for the public to use so don’t tell me were i can or should post, FASCIST.

Sonja “Boo Boo” do uhav any idea how serious this yates issue isnt da time 4 stupid jokes like that, OK! Man this isn’t a game.

Dementor you couldn’t detect sarcasm it came up behind you and stuck a wand up your butt. was that sarcasm Scully used oh my God i feel like total moron face, how could i have made such a mistake, thanks for pointing that out to me Dementer. I apologies for calling you brain dead. man i feel stupid. That wasn’t sarcasm by the way, because i have no idea about this thing, you NORMAL people, call sarcasm.

I knew wat point you were trying to make Kiwi Mc I, i just wanted to feel the satisfaction of you having to go to the trouble of repeating yourself and having to explain what you ment. Thanks for making things clear though.It didn’t help though i still don’t understand what you were trying to tell me to do. Fascist. and i know your going to say that your not a fascist because you were just suggesting that i use a forum and not actually telling me wat to do, but your still a Fascist.

And Fran i understand im a mental case, but you forget i’m also a jerk. So we’re friends now right. Awsome. Can i come over today? I’ll call your, right. Cool. i’m so excited.

Also Kiwi Mc I, because you avoid everyone of my questions im going to avoid everyone of yours. Now you make a comment to my comment, then i will post a comment to yours and then Dementors clogged ass will expode, and the comments will continue. we are really starting to establish a strong reltionship with one another. I hope one day we will all be friends.

OOTP Movie sucks, still sucks and will suck till its dying sucky end.

P.S. Pee less.

Nice. I hope they do show something HBP related during that weekend.

Ed Tom, I think it’s time to take your brain medicine again.
