So as many of you have already heard, or will hear now, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince has been tragically postponed until July 17, 2009. Oh and you want to know the reason? Well take a look right here at this wonderful paragraph or two pulled straight from Yahoo.

The move was made to take advantage of an open weekend in Hollywood's busy summer season, said Alan Horn, Warner Bros. president and chief operating officer. The film had been on schedule, and the change was not due to any production snags, he said.

"The picture is completely, absolutely, 100 percent on schedule, on time. There were no delays," Horn told The Associated Press. "I've seen the movie. It is fabulous. We would have been perfectly able to have it out in November."



So the reason behind the postponement? More box office sales. That's right. Oh sure the movie's all set to go, but let's make those rabid, desperate Harry Potter fans wait for practially another year for their next installment in the film franchise. This completely and utterly disgusts me. Please post your rants, various plans of revenge onl WB execs, and other various forms of unhappiness (or possibly happiness) on this extremely depressing news. Now if you'll excuse me, I must go crawl into a corner and huddle in a fetal position while I go through Harry Potter withdrawal.
