A host of international release dates for “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” have now been posted on the official Harry Potter website. At this point several countries are scheduled to see the film several days before the US/UK release set for November 21, 2008. To see the entire list, click here.
Thanks to Bloghogwarts for owling!
All Australian/New Zealand Harry Potter fans (and others who want to support your fellow HP lovers! :) Please take a moment to sign the petition regarding the release date. These movies should be on world-side release by now. Sure WB is a major company but we fans can have a big influence :)
I hope that as an Australian resident WB are not even going to consider such a ridiculous release date for deathly hallows!

dec 11 for australia/NZ – thats so rediculous – the same thing happened with ootp – we were originally supposed to get it in september i think – but WB ended up changing it to the same time as the UK/US…. why do they keep wanting to release it so late?? maybe if enough ppl say something they’ll move it in line with the UK/US
OotP was moved because of a 2200 signatured petition. The HBP petition at the moment has 1680
Come on guys…. SIGN the PETITON…... even if you don’t leave in Asutralia, just do it to help us!!!!

You know what guys? You’re very welcome to Come and watch the movie in Belgium on Nov 19. We’ re very likely to have lousy wheather, but you don’t need sunshine to watch a movie, do you?
I’m just relieved I ain’t in Hong Kong. But keeping things in perspective, let’s spare a moment for troubled countries which won’t receive the movie at all (though I’m sure that’s the least of their problems). Jo’s message is so valiant. If more people heard it, the better chance we might have of the world growing into something just a little bit better.
Let’s just hope WB haven’t turned it into Star Wars…
And I think I might take Andrea up on her invite and hop over to Belgium. Good old Belgium!! Best chocolate I ever had..
School holidays is a rubbish reason. Nov 21 – Year 12s are finished weeks beforehand. Year 11s are also finished then. Most of the teens going during the daytime etc are year 11/12s ie. 16-18yos. Rated M? have to be 15 anyway!
It’s a rubbish reason the students it is aimed at/can go/have funds are all finished school by then!!!!!!!!!! They might be doing it cos of that reason. It’s a stupid reason.
WTH??? How come Korea gets it a what, FULL MONTH later than other countries??
?! DECEMBER FREAKIN’ 18th. I AM MAD. (Though i do realize that the pirated copies will probably be selling by then, just like it did with GoF) Is this a punishment for getting the Mummy 3(which, btw, SUCKED) before any other country?
?! Warner Brothers, I HATE YOU!
end of rant
Thanks for reading =]
Wooot! I will get to see it on the 20th here in Germany! At least one good thing about being here! Hope I can see it in the English origianl version though!
YES!! ENGLAND! ENGLAND!
