there is no way this thing, directed by David Yates, was going to win 
or be nominated for anything under the Oscars or Golden Globes, etc.  
Movies released at this time are not expected to be big revenue 
earners.  The studios must have realized this at the last minute and 
decided that this is more summer block buster fodder and would be a 
bigger draw on the out-of-school crowd to bring in the big bucks.  This 
decision is quite consistent with their determination to keep Yates as 
director for the final installments.

The Nov release of HBP follows the already established sequence of 
alternate Nov/July releases beginning with PS/SS in Nov 2001.  Also the 
Nov movies have all been more profitable
than the summer ones.  In other words, IMO the change makes absolutely 
no sense leaving me to wonder about the quality of HBP.
