HPProgs Hitler Video Mentioned in Entertainment Weekly
UPDATE: Mugglenet was nice enough to scan in the article and let us know about it so you can now see the print version if you want.
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!
