Don't shoot the messenger!

I'm on the WB distribution list because of my work with
fictionalley.org and our podcast, spell-cast.org, and they asked me to
share this around:

Many of you have written to me to express your disappointment in our
moving "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" to Summer 2009.
Please
be assured that we share your love for Harry Potter and would
certainly never do anything to hurt any of the films. Over the past 10
years, we have nurtured and protected each film, and the integrity of
the books upon which they are based, to the best of our ability. The
decision to move "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" was not
taken lightly, and was never intended to upset our Harry Potter fans.
We know you have built this series into what it is, and we thank you
for your ongoing enthusiasm and support. If I may offer a silver
lining: there would have been a two-year gap between "Half-Blood
Prince" and the much-anticipated first part of "Harry Potter and the
Deathly Hallows," which opens in November 2010. So although we have to
wait a little longer for "Half-Blood Prince," the wait from that film
until "Deathly Hallows" will be less than 18 months. I am sorry to
have disappointed you now, but if you hold on a little longer, I
believe it will be worth the wait.

*********************************************

Speaking entirely personally, as I'm on the team that's been working
for months on Azkatraz (http://www.hp2009.org) that we'd already
planned to have in San Francisco from July 18 - 21 (and then have a
bus trip down to Comic Con!) I'm looking forward to a fantastic
chance/excuse to see HBP surrounded by hundreds of fandomers at a big
expedition to the IMAX nearest the hotel (it's about 4 blocks away!).
A few years ago, I was involved in hosting POAIMAXNYC the day after
PoA came out, and this is going to be relatively like that, only about
three or four times longer and larger. So, making pumpkin juice out of
a pumpkin is my plan - anyone else doing the same?
