You make some vaild points, but every company that has thought it 
wasn't about the customers or consumers has been proven wrong. I'm sure 
that WB believes it can weather the protests because the core fans will 
see the movie anyway and casual viewers won't care one way or the 
other. But WB has cultivated a negative impression among many Potter 
fans, and that cannot be a good thing for the company, particularly 
when one considers the global impact of Harry Potter. And how will fans 
feel if, as reported, WB keeps the original release date in places like 
Australia? I, for one, was ticked that WB released the OOTP dvd in 
England a full month before it was released in America. WB, in my 
opinion, blundered by saying it delayed the film to increase the box 
office. If that is true, then they should have made something up. 
However, as I said before, I still think that they are not telling us 
truth. I still think there are other reasons for the delay.
