Hey everyone! Remember the video we made back in August about Hitler’s reaction to the Half Blood Prince Delay? Well it turns out that the folks at Entertainment Weekly magazine found out about it and mentioned it in the FIRST paragraph of their article about Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince in their Summer Movie Preview!

Here is an excerpt from the article:

Let’s sum this up in one word: finally. Warner Bros.’ adaptation of J.K. Rowling’s penultimate Potter novel was originally scheduled to be released last fall, but the studio moved the flick to this summer for strategic financial reasons. Furious fans protested with petitions- and pranksters mocked their ourtrage with viral videos, including one that cast Hitler, in his bunker scene from Downfall, going apoplectic over Potter’s delay. But at last the wait will soon be over.

We don’t know yet if this article will be in the online version (this is from the print copy), but we will get you a link to the full article as soon as we can!

Hat tip to Greg in Toronto for being the first to let us know about this!

For those of you who are wondering how the new release date of the Half Blood Prince movie will affect the Azkatraz showing, the new edition of the Azkatraz Informant says that the special IMAX showing will still be on Thursday. Although the exact movie start time has yet to be confirmed, it will not begin before 8:00 PM. Also, the LeakyMug will begin about half an hour after the end of the showing, back at the Parc55 Hotel.

Update: Warner Brothers has confirmed that the release date for Harry Potter and the Half Blod Prince Movie has been moved to July 15th. via Mugglenet

Erc box office and comingsoon.net are  both unofficially  reporting that  Warner brothers has moved up  the release date for the Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince Movie to July 15, 2009, bringing it to theaters two days earlier than scheduled.

No reasons for the move have been given yet and WB has not confirmed the move either.  However, it should be noted that Order of the Phoenix had a mid-week release as well, which allowed WB to make a significantly higher amount of money in opening week sales than it would have if it had opened on a Friday.

We don’t have any information on how this will affect the Azkatraz movie screening yet. We will keep you posted.

Warner Brothers has announced that a new trailer for the “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” movie will be released on satellite on Thursday, April 16th, 9:00 pm (EDT)/6:00 pm (PDT).
