Many people's plans were thrown into disarray by the delay of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince until next summer. But when one door shuts, another (or several) open.

First, Azkatraz 2009 has announcedopens in new window plans for an exclusive IMAX screening of the film, which now conveniently coincides with their conference next July!

HP Fan Trips announcedopens in new window this evening that they have secured a cast member from Equus to participate in an exclusive workshop following the included performance, plus a private scavenger hunt at Madam Tussauds in London, complete with prizes.

More details on both events are promised to be forthcoming, and we'll bring those updates to you when they are released.

This is nice and all, but I am disabled and on a fixed income. I can afford any of it, I can just bear to afford the books. I can however afford the price of a movie ticket! Grumble, grumble, grumble...

Good things come to those who wait. We can rest assured that WB does not want to do this any more than we want them to.

Well, I suppose this is all great and good, but it's going to take me awhile to get over. I'm still furiously disappointed.

Wait, I don't understand, I thought that was a hoax. *dies a gazillion times* Why would they have to postpone it almost an entire year? Me is crying on the inside. *pout* ._.

Ha! That's whant happens when you complain about the release dates! I'm sad about it too, though, but they're just having to pack my Potter-ness into the film than they had anticipated! It'll be that much more awesome, when we finally get to see it.

Wow, these sound fun.

I wish I could be there, but I'm unfortunately too far away to be able to go...

Anyway, those lucky ones who are going, have fun.

That's great for those who are going to Azkatraz or on a HP Fan Tour. I'm doing neither, so it doesn't help me. I'll just wait another 11 months to see HBP.

Still vexed about the push back, stop bringing it up! When I eventually do get to see the movie, it will be at the IMAX at darling harbour with my friends.

I wish I could say I'm happy about it. But, it's like what other people are saying. They're just trying to cover up HBP being pushed back.
