Most anticipated and probably most rage. A lot of attention due to the delay. In some preverse way it probably created more interest. Hate the wait, but what can one due.

That's exactly what WB wanted. They didn't have a strong enough movie to kick butt in the summer sales so they used HBP instead.
Hope you're happy.

Well, we can't say that's a shocker. I'd be really disappointed that after all this drama the movie doesn't turn out as wonderful as we expected.
I was thinking, what's JK's opinion on this change of date?

Well, of course it's the most anticipated, people WERE anticipating it this year (*Glares pointedly at WB*) but now people have to be excited for next year! I'm not surprised that it has such a big percentage.

Hmm, I wonder if those lousy, stingy marketing trolls are sitting in front of their computers, rubbing their hands together, with satisfied smirks on their faces? Could this be, perhaps, one of the reasons they pulled this stunt? They figured if they didn't have anything as strong as HP next summer, why not screw all the fans who've been counting down the days, making extensive premiere plans, etc. so we can make more money? Plus, free publicity when all those fans lose their minds over the date being pushed back and flame us on the Net. Evil, I tell ya. If only I had some magical powers...

Bravo Warner Bros you have succeeded.
I guess all that's left to do is wait and hope that the wait is well worth it.
I'am still mad at Warner bros but come on guys they didn't even bother promoting HBP so this might be a goo thing in some messed up way.I have a really great feeling that HBP will not be a let down.Hopefully its nearly 3 hours like COS.

All I have to say this is: HAHHHAAhahahhhahahahahaaa!!!
Well of course. And say, pushing it to 2010 would make it most anticipated movie of 2010...
This all needs no survey...

Of course it is. Maybe this will get non-HP fans into the theaters and cause them to begin liking HP as well, which would be great. However, I believe that this is the reason they moved the date- more publicity. It's not very nice to do to us, but if it makes people take HP more seriously, then whatever.

Well, DERR!! The only reason that it's "Most Anticipated" is that the fans have had it snatched away from them, just when there were only a few months left ... so now it's relegated to some marketing excercise for 2009 and all the fat cats will be very happy as it's generating hype.
Like I care ...

Well, that's nice to know. I won't go see it at the movies, I don't even really care about this thing.
Let's hope they'll still get their box office shock when the movie sinks on opening weekend.
