And maybe its just me, I was less of a fan of the movies that stuck to the book (1 and 2) then those who decided they would be a movie based on the books.

Still think 3 is the best followed by 2.

movie wise. 1 is my favorite. followed by 5 or 3. either or i loved those.

4 to me is my least favorite movie. not that its bad or anything. i just wasnt really interested in the whole wizard tournament thing.

Well now my list of anticipated movies drops to one.

BURBANK, Calif. - Warner Bros. Pictures on Thursday announced that it has moved back the release date of "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" to summer 2009.
The sixth installment of the blockbuster Harry Potter franchise will now open July 17. It was originally scheduled to open Nov. 21.
"Like every other studio, we are still feeling the repercussions of the writers' strike. We agreed the best strategy was to move 'Half-Blood Prince' to July," said Alan Horn, president and chief operating officer.
"The release date change does not alter the production schedule for this or future Harry Potter films. The studio's release plans for the two-part 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows' will not be affected by this change," said Jeff Robinov, president of Warner Bros. Motion Picture Group.

Yeah, saw this a bit ago on TV. Very sad.

But we have Twilight to watch in December! Vampires!

I didn't enjoy the 6th much either...but you owe it to yourself to read the 7th. It's arguably the best in the series.

Same way actually.

I read the 7th book twice in one week. It kind of drags in the middle (the camping sections) but other than that good stuff.

Yup, that was easily the worst part. It all just seemed so unnecessary.

I much prefer fall releases for HP movies to summer releases. They seem to fit better in the fall. This is a shame.

Damn, that's almost a year from now! How can you come to this decision 3 months before the release of the movie?

I agree with jeepnut, being dark and atmospheric, it's more suited to being released in the fall instead of the "hey, let's go to a comedy movie!"-summer.

The biggest problem with the HP movies is that they're too disconnected. You see something happen, then, with a very sharp transition, you see something else happen. It's like a dozen short movies strung together.
