I am thinking of boycotting the movie Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince...  |
|
 Yes, i am contemplating on not watching the movie when it comes out... and not buying the original DVD...
The reason behind this is the fact that producers pushed back the original screening date of November to July... because they want it to make more money... Harry Potter is not just about money... and to think they already made billions with the franchise... and now they want more...
I have been eagerly waiting for the movie to come out... but when i read the news... i was shocked... and i thought to myself... i will not be a part of the producers' money making tactics... i will not watch the movie in a movie theater... but use and alternative (you know what i mean)... i am not asking any Harry Potter fans to follow suit... but these producers need to learn that Harry Potter is not just about money...

1.  pheonixstar1982 (1298) | 1 year ago |  When i learn about this i was ticked off as well. Why is it that everything in this world has to be about money. I personally view money as a necessary EVIL.

Making film is a win-win result.
Hello to anybody!

| aseretdd (6843) | 1 year ago | I don't know what their problem is... but summer or not... Harry Potter will surely make them close to billions not just with the movie... but with the dvd and other items that they will sell when half blood prince comes out... thanks for the response... | |

2.  Tim8806 (575) | 1 year ago |  All of us Potter fans are angry about the move, but your anger is in the wrong place. Harry Potter and it's producers didn't move the movie, Warner Bros did. So to be fair they are the ones you need to boycott.
Here is the link to their upcoming movies and guess who is behind The Dark Knight? That's right Warner Bros.

| aseretdd (6843) | 1 year ago | Thank you for correcting me... so Warner Bros is behind this move... but then... why do they need to do this... since in any month... for sure... the latest Harry Potter movie will make them a lot of money... thanks for the response... | |
|
|
| Tim8806 (575) | 1 year ago | I started a topic that answers just that. They would make a lot in any month, but it's been proven that they make more in the summer time. The 5th Harry Potter was the 2nd highest grossing in the franchise. | |
|
|
| aseretdd (6843) | 1 year ago | Yes, it even overtood the James Bond franchise... so i don't understand why Warner Bros seem to have no confidence thhat the latest Harry Potter movie will make more than the previous ones... | |

| 3. joyadalia (631) | 1 year ago |  Just because the producers want more money for their efforts won't make me boycott the movie. Harry Potter is still one of the best movies I've ever seen and just because the producers are money sharks doesn't equate to the movie itself. Yes, Harry Potter is not just for money but wouldn't you want to see how they all fared in this movie version?

|
|
| aseretdd (6843) | 1 year ago | Well, i can still watch the movie even if i will not go to the movie theater or buy the original dvd... and i know how they fared because i already read the books a couple of times... i just do not understand why they need to move the movie date... thanks for the response... | |

| 4. philjas (925) | 1 year ago |  I don't do boycotts because I don't think they work, plus I believe when you participate in a boycott you're only denying yourself something you want. I do agree though that this is incredibly greedy, there's no end to the greed of people in the movie industry, which is why I personally have no problem with those "alternatives" you speak of.
Actually, a boycott might be effective in this case if enough people boycotted JUST opening weekend as a protest. I could go for that (I still doubt there'd be enough people to make an impact on WB's wallet though, or even to get the point across.)

|
| aseretdd (6843) | 1 year ago | I agree... there are a lot of Harry Potter fans out there who would kill just to see the movie on the opening day... and i think no one would ever join a boycott with me... but i think i will still do it... and just go for the alternative... thanks for the response... | |

| 5. drannhh (7338) | 1 year ago |  That is an interesting plan. I will not go to see that movie either, but I'm not exactly boycotting it. We just usually wait until movies end up on TV before watching them. Sooner or later they all get there. If we croak first it won't matter very much in the long run, will it?
| |
| |
|
|
| aseretdd (6843) | 1 year ago | That is a nice way to put it... but in my case... i don't get to watch a lot of tv... nor do i have the time to wait for them to we shown on cable tv... so my best option is to go to the theater or buy the dvd... in the case of Harry Potter... i will buy a dvd... but the alternative one... thanks for the response... | |

6.  everlasting (9961) | 1 year ago |  I think I have already lost my intrest in it! How will it make money f they will show it later?
| |
| |
|
|
| aseretdd (6843) | 1 year ago | Well, since July is summer time in the US... and most kids are on vacation... they would most likely be going to watch the movie on the first day... and that would bring more money to Warner Bros... i am slowly losing my interest here... thanks for the response... | |

|
| aseretdd (6843) | 1 year ago | I still love Harry Potter... but i am starting to hate Warner Bros... moving the screening date is just too much... we have to wait for another 11 months just to watch Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince... if they do this to the last movie... a lot of fans will get angry... thanks for the response... | |

| 8. Elixiress (2729) | 1 year ago |  Why should Harry Potter not be about money? Everything else is about money. But I do not see how putting it back will mean that it will make more money, because it is not as though it would be under advertised whenever it was released. I am going to see it, because I have seen all the others, although I do criticise the movie in comparison to the book.

| drknlvly6781 (3163) | 1 year ago |  Its not about having more time to promote it. Its simply that more people visit the movies during the Summer months rather than the Winter. Kids are out of school, people on vacation from work. More people will be able to see, therefore they make more at the ticket box because of it. I guess WB feels that if they release it in the Winter, they won't make much at the box office because more people will wait for it to come out on DVD.

|
|
| aseretdd (6843) | 1 year ago | I will also see the film... but not in the theater... this is such a bad move on the part of Warner Bros... and i think a lot of people are quite disappointed at this... thanks for the response... | |
|
|
| Elixiress (2729) | 1 year ago | I would have thought more people would see it during the winter months as it is colder, so people want to stay indoors more to stay warm and the cinemas fits that. I know I go to the cinemas more during the winter, while during the summer I prefer being out of the house. | |
|
|
| aseretdd (6843) | 1 year ago | There is no winter in my country... but less people would go to the movie when it is raining very hard... but if the movie is really good... rain or shine... people will watch it... | |
|
|
| Elixiress (2729) | 1 year ago | My country has more winter than anything else, obviously we steal yours. It is August now, which is meant to be the hottest month of summer, but you would think it was winter, it is raining constantly and rather cold. | |
|
|
| aseretdd (6843) | 1 year ago | Oh my... i don't think i can ever live in your country... it is now the rainy season in the Philippines... and a tropical storm just passed by... so it is less hotter than it used to be... | |

| 9. drknlvly6781 (3163) | 1 year ago | I just thought of the best way to boycott their wanting to make more money, and still have the movie in your collection. You should find a way to buy a bootleg or pirated copy lol. You know that the movie makers don't make any money off those, that's why they are so against it. So you should find a good bootleg copy of it, so you can still see the movie, and not give the makers any of your money lmao! | |
| |
|
|
| aseretdd (6843) | 1 year ago | That is actually what i am planning to do... there are a lot of good pirated dvd's here... and sometimes they are even better than the original... but the task of finding it can be difficult... but that is what i will do... thanks for the response... | |

|
|
| aseretdd (6843) | 1 year ago | They should have thought about that before they announce the film will be shown in November... it would have been okay... but since a lot are already anticipating it... the change is really a let down... thanks for the response... | |
