Why, Warner Bros., why? The company that owns all the great Kubrick movies, why must you hurt us? We went to your Batman movie way more times than necessary these past few weeks, giving you the third-most (very soon to be second-most) highest grossing film ever, but you still stab us in the back! Why are you doing this to us WB, why? We have been so loyal! You have the best theme park in Los Angeles, you have the best cable service in Los Angeles, you're headquartered in the best city in the world, you have the best TV channels, you got all you want, why must you anger us?! Because you guys are all damn greedy bastards, that's why.

Most of you may already know that those rotten scoundrels at Warner Bros. decided to push Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince's release date back, all the way to... July 17, 2009. July! That's almost a full year from now! We were all anticipating the November release in just a few months: you released a beautiful trailer, showed that trailer before a couple movies (including the new Star Wars animated thing that came out today), announced a few days ago the international release dates, arranged the world premiere in Britain, have the game all ready to be distributed in November, but yesterday you announce you want to delay the movie for another year? And what was your excuse, WB? Was it that the movie wasn't complete yet? That you needed more time to finish the special effects so as to give us, the people who will make your company even richer, the best entertainment possible? Nope. That cannot be further from the truth. You've been telling us for weeks the movie's one hundred percent complete. Even yesterday you said that you saw it and you loved it.

So what is it? Why did you make the world bellow in pain yesterday? You said it was because WB is "still feeling the repercussions of the writers’ strike". Wow. That's the reason you're delaying this huge blockbuster movie, that is already complete, because of the writers' strike? All lies. You know damn well that this movie was not affected by the strike. You want to release it next year because you think other studios won't have so many movies next year due to the strike, and you'll get all their money. You changed the date because you guys want to bank on the movie! You're releasing it on the same weekend as you released The Dark Knight, for [expletive] sake! And don't give us that crap that "we love our fans". BS. If you loved us, you would make the movies free and have Dan, Rupert, and Emma deliver copies to our front doors. You love money, that's what you love. There's nothing wrong with loving money, of course – you are, obviously, a greedy studio, not unlike other studios before you – but don't tell us you're doing what's best for us by delaying it for another year. Tell us that you want more money in your pockets and that you don't care if it pisses anyone off. It won't make us any happier, but at least you won't be such assholes. Damn.

While what Warner Bros. is doing is very unprecedented – I don't think there has ever been a blockbuster movie of this magnitude have its release date postponed so far into the future ever before – it isn't exactly surprising. If WB didn't go ahead and change the date from November 2008 to July 2009, there would be a two-year gap between Harry Potter 6 and Harry Potter 7: Part I, which is [still] set to release in November of 2010. This is not uniform with past Harry Potter movies. If you look at the past schedule of release dates for the Harry Potter movies, you'll notice that every movie and its sequel have been released with an about-eighteen month gap (excluding Harry Potter 1, which had only a twelve month gap between itself and Harry Potter 2). Because the book Deathly Hallows is being split up into two separate movies, WB obviously wanted to have the finale of the Harry Potter series (Harry Potter 7: Part II) to come out during the summer, remember, because those people are greedy; which is scheduled for a May 2011 release (but shouldn't they change that to the magical July weekend created by The Dark Knight?). Like The Matrix and The Lord of the Rings before it, sequels that are shot simultaneously are usually released within six months of each other, and when going along with the November/summer release, as all the other Potter movies have, Harry Potter 7: Part I is naturally slated for a November 2010 release. So, by changing Harry Potter 6's release date to June 2009, it creates the traditional gap of about-eighteen months between sequels – and that, you know, whole summer blockbuster profit thing. The only obvious problem there is that the gap between Harry Potter 5 (released June 2007, a few weeks before Book 7) and Harry Potter 6, is two years. But WB doesn't care about that, we've already endured a year of waiting, what's another year, right?

So there you have it. We'll have to wait eight more months for the next Harry Potter movie. I was devastated from the news, because I have been anticipating this new movie for a very long time. I'm halfway through the book version and have remembered again why these stories are so damn entertaining. Perhaps when I finish, I'll re-read Deathly Hallows, what do you say? But while we're all pretty bummed about this date change, it'll all be forgotten in a few weeks or so. WB won't be boycotted, no one will sign any petitions, Harry Potter 6 will make loads of money (but don't kid yourself, WB, there's no way it'll come close to The Dark Knight, though I hope the contrary), and the movie will be fantastic. I guess now, they have an excuse to hype this thing up to the extreme, to Batman levels even. Who's dressing up with me next summer?! I'll be Luna! Oh, and don't go out buying this week's Entertainment Weekly – semi-sister company of WB – with Dan on the cover, it was outdated before even being released, haha. Now that was the prefect ending. Take care everyone. see u.
