Thanks to Harry Potter Xperts
for reporting that RTL Television has obtained the rights to air Harry Potter and the Philospher's Stone on German TV - but not until 2005.
Here is a scan of the article from TV Spielfilm:
Insiders also told TV Spielfilm that the rights to Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets may have also been secured by RTL.

I really don't have an opinion on this. We have had the HP movies on TV for sometime now (pay per view, of course) in the States. And I own my own copie of both movies. I wonder what has taken Germany so long to get them on the air. Perhaps it's the subtitles or dubbing.

Thats awesome that Germany gets to see it on TV, but it sucks that they can't see it until 2005. I wonder when they will show it on TV in the US?

Yeah well that is along time to wait for it on TV. But I think most of the real fans would have bought it already.

Wow, hope that I haven't have to wait that long. I live in Belgium and the PS hasn't been aired on TV yet. I do have the movie on tape but it's always nice when there airing a good movie.

That is a long time to see the first Harry Potter film on television: More than three years. All of the Harry Potter fans in Germany who would be the most possible viewers of the airing of the film, probably have the movie on DVD or VHS already though. In fact, I've never watched the first two Harry Potter films at all on television yet; mny family doesn't have HBO nor wants to spend money on a Pay-Per-View on our satellite package. We're cheap folk here in Iowa...

Whoa! I can't believe they have to wait another year until it comes out on TV. I wonder why they have to wait until next year. I am so glad I don't live in Germany.

I kind of feel sorry for Germans. They are really waiting a long time to even see the first movie on television. I remember the first time SS came on HBO. I was very excited.

Maybe they've already watched it in cinema or CD, so that's not a big deal. By the way, PS isn't airing yet in my country too, but i've watched it more than 5 times.

WOW, germans are lucky!!!!
By me in Italy it seems that Harry Potter does not exist !!!
( On TV I mean )... they just gave the trailers of the PS and of COS when they came out on cinemas, and some times, they advertise the video game, but we do not know anything about seeing those movies on TV !!!
But I do not loose my hopes, and I also wish to watch a cartoon about Harry Potter some time in the future, it would be nice, don't you think ??
