[HPFGU-Movie] PoA box office

[Valerie Flowe]

From: artsylynda at aol.com
I've just come from my 4th viewing, and I'm still wowed by the  film.  What 
distresses me GREATLY is that WB has done so LITTLE advertising  for it!  There 
are no ads on TV that I can see, nothing much in print,  nothing much online 
as far as ads go, and it wasn't advertised that much before  it was released 
(I did try to see the trailer at three different movies that  were SUPPOSED to 
have the HP3 trailer running before them, and not ONE of them  did!!)

I've seen the trailer on kids-related TV quite a bit. And some bus signage.

I had to LOOK for HP stuff (found it in  Target) and there 
wasn't nearly enough to choose from.  (I got an "Expecto  Patronum" Harry 
figure -- What the heck 
is wrong with WB's ad department?!   grrrrrr.

[from Valerie]
You are right; there is not much merchandising. My nephew (who got me in to the 
HP series!) just turned 8, and I wanted to get him an HP T-shirt. Went to 
Target, Toys R-Us =nothing. Lots and lots of Spiderman-wear, though! 
I ended up getting him the miniature POA collectibles.
