Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince

[BlueSharkBoy]

They have finished it fully, but decided to move it from October to July to make it a summer hit so more people will go see it, which is the DUMBEST THING I have EVER heared. Yeah like HP fans are gonna go and say, "Oh no HP being released in October and it'll be slightly cold if we go see it. Oh I'll just wait until the summer or not see it at all." As if people NEVER go see films because it's a bit cold.

How stupid are these people who decide these things?

Not sure about england but in the USA most states the kids have the summer off. Harry Potter despite what people think is based off a childrens book. Summer = time more kids and teens with their juicy juicy disposable income are likely to see movies.

People who have not seen HP before WILL NOT go see this one first as everyone knows this is not the first one. If you wanna go see what HP is like go see HP ATSS.

I am so very confused. I didn't say anything about seeing the films before? I said it's based off a childrens book. I'm not refuting the fact that they can be enjoyed by all ages but the author herself says they are children's books as does the publisher. I believe at reading level 6 or 7 (about age 13). Summer is when american kids including that age group don't have to go to school so many go see lots of movies. They are trying to increase that demorgaphic and if you live in some parts of this country going out to do ANYTHING in the winter is not an option as there is so much snow that getting to your mailbox is something you need to pack a snack for.

You said kids with more money are more likely to see movies in the summer and this is the 6th one, so fans of HP will see it anyway summer or not, and people who have never seen it won't just walk in randomly and say: "Hey that looks good, I'll go see that." They'll want to go see the first HP film. So the 6th one being released in summer won't do a very different job than if it were to be released in October.

So you're argument is that the film has a built in audience?

Yes, fans (and myself) who have stuck with HP all these years since the first film will go see it ANY-FRICKING-TIME.

The movies have been getting gradually worse anyways.

True. But this makes no sense. You go to the cinema MORE in the winter. I do at least, because I spend more time ACTUALLY outside in the summer.

actually no most people go to the movies more in the summer, look at the movies that made the most money, they were all summer movies, in the top 10 domestic movies there are only 2 that are not summer movies, the rest are summer movies

so no more people go to the movies in the summer cause it's warm out and they feel like going out, even if it's to drive to the theatre

I stand corrected.

I'll go because I'm too lazy to read the books.

As a matter of fact, during a showing of "Star Wars: The Clone Wars" there was a preview for this film. After all was said and done, and the room wne tsilent, I cupped my hands around my mouth and yelled "SNAPE KILLS DUMBLEDORE!!!!!"

Actually I quite like this way because it will be more near my birthday in july. It is also good because they have a chance to better it.

That's the thing, they're NOT refilming it. If they were I would actually be somewhat happy, guessing that Yeats (the director) relised that cutting stuff out is a bad idea or that he messed something up and is making it better.

I've stopped caring about the movies. The first three were alright, but the later books (I absolutely loved them!) have so many details that add up later that you can't leave them out without having to change everything. And that's what they're starting to do. It's no longer Harry Potter: The Movies, it's the movies based on Harry Potter. I can't really blame the creators for that, they can't have all details scuffed inside one movie, it'd be too long, so instead I will just hate the movies for being shit. I don't have to worry, though, I'm not the one who has to suffer through that cavalcade of poor story-telling. I read the books, I don't need any pictures.

summer releases generate more money because more of the targeted audience are free from school, ex. children aren't in school so they have more free time to see it.

NeoDeath90: You must have had the hell kicked out of you. But you could be trying to make a big deal out of nothing, saying that he dies.

Did everyone else know that, cause if not you must have gotten some angry Harry Potter fans (although whoever doesn't read the books can not be a real fan, cause the movies aren't made by the real writer and the movies are generally shit) on your hands. Of course, no harm can really be done, how old can they be?

 

[Ben Legend]

I think it looks amazing and cannot wait to see it.
Although, the delaying bit is a ache.
Almost as bad as splitting the final film into two.

 

[JWAN]

Does it matter?
Hard core fans wont mind walking to the cinema in the rain to watch a movie.
Me and my media class are all going to see it.

thats great and all but the entire fan base is not made up of "hard core" fans, they want to get a larger audience and you can do that with summer releases because school is not a factor

OMG. Aren't you people understanding that fans of HP WILL GO SEE IT NO MATTER WHEN THE HECK IT COMES OUT. And people who have not seen any of the HP films before WILL GO SEE THE FIRST HP FILM. That's why a summer release of HP is SO STUPID!

No he's not. He's an idiot. But fortunelty 99% of HP fans have read all the books already.

Basically, Twilight took HP's spot.
I doubt HP won't be shit, as the previous ones have been, but it will still be better than that kind of shit.

Why is it so stupid though? If you're a fan then the only way it affects you is by letting you see it earlier so there's nothing wrong with that. And, as the movie is already finished, its not like you'll miss out on cut content.

 

[The_Prophet]

Don't plan on watching it anyways.

The movies have been getting gradually worse anyways.

So do the books, the last good one was The Order of phoenix or something like that. The two newer ones were rushed and made mostly for the fans.

 

[axnxgxixe]

I agree. If you were going to see the HP movie in the first place, it wouldn't matter if it was fall or summer.

But people who weren't planning on seeing it may be more likely to see it in the summer.

Way to screw over the fans.
