Puny Humans Make Trixie Mad! Puny Humans NOT Move Half Blood Prince to 2009 or Trixie SMASH Puny Humans!!

The Big Cheese at Warner Brothers is apparently getting a lot of heat from Harry Potter fans. He released this statement (READ: Please Don't Kill Me).


Many of you have written to me to express your disappointment in our moving "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" to Summer 2009.

Please be assured that we share your love for Harry Potter and would certainly never do anything to hurt any of the films. Over the past 10 years, we have nurtured and protected each film, and the integrity of the books upon which they are based, to the best of our ability.

The decision to move "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" was not taken lightly, and was never intended to upset our Harry Potter fans. We know you have built this series into what it is, and we thank you for your ongoing enthusiasm and support.

If I may offer a silver lining: there would have been a two-year gap between "Half-Blood Prince" and the much-anticipated first part of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows," which opens in November 2010.


So although we have to wait a little longer for "Half-Blood Prince," the wait from that film until "Deathly Hallows" will be less than 18 months. I am sorry to have disappointed you now, but if you hold on a little longer, I believe it will be worth the wait.

Charming.

Why do your comments about me always make me out to be either an insane road block, or great hulking mass? I'm not feeling the love...

I guess I don't really care when it comes out as long as it is as chock full of Awesome as the others were. Waiting isn't as bad a big batch of Suck.
