Will be here before we know it. Hard to believe that we have been hearing about it for almost two years. Material and tidbits should start to come out fast and furious. Lots of fun.

can't wait! Bit weird it gets released in Egypt and Belgium before the US, and particularly the UK as its a British film! But we'll get it soon enough, it's going to be awesome!

Hooray! I just added this very important date to my calendar. I'll hope to see it before the actual release date, but if not I will aim for a midnight show.

Ahhh... November 21st still seems soo far away. But at least I don't have to wait until December... that's just torture.
I did prefer OotP's release date last year though... there's more time to see movies in the summer (multiple times, that is)

Never, ever in my entire life I'd dare to think that one day living in this goddamn place would eventually pay off! Belgium babyyy! A bit weird that we, a country that half of the earth population doesn't know exists, get to see it before England. I'm not complaining, though.

I feel badly for the people in Turkey who have to wait so darned long to see the movie.
I know my butt will be planted in the movie theater the first showing on opening day.

I think Australia is being punished. Last year our release date was ages after everyone else, then when they pulled it forward it was set for the day before the US (making it 2 days before due to time difference). Then, out of no where, the US pushed their release date forward. If the same thing doesn't happen this year, we know WB getting back at us for nearly seeing it before the US.
Bet you. =P
