How come New Zealand has to wait until the 11th of December? Oh well, lucky Belgium and Egypt.

Of course I would decide to leave the US and go to New Zealand for a year RIGHT BEFORE the release. Now I will have to wait two more weeks! SAD!

Hmmm…. Australia 3 weeks later than UK / US and most other countries! What????

How come for OoTP we had pretty much the same release date as everyone else and now we have to wait till Dec 11 this time around? sigh I'm not happy at the moment.
I would think by now they could do a worldwide release with these movies - it's ridiculous!!  :(
