Sartoris22:

Yes, let's get back to the movie. I have plenty of places to talk 
politics, but I joined the list because I don't have many 
opportunities to discuss the Potter movies. As we all know, the new 
excuse for the delay involves he rights to Watchmen. It's funny that 
the Entertainment Weekly article mentions screenwriter Steve Kloves' 
concern that interest in the movies might wain because the book 
series has ended. If people in the WB camp are worried about viewer 
interest, it makes the delay seem all the more unwise. Couple that 
with rumors about the movie premiering in some countries in 2008 and 
being released in IMAX on November 21 and you have one big mess. I 
live in New York, where there was a story today about Daniel 
Radcliffe snubbing fans outside the New Yok Times Building or some 
such place. Perhaps the backlash has started. After all, the American 
press has been very kind to Harry Potter. But as we all know, it 
doesn't take that much for them to turn. Call me delusional, but I'm 
still holding out hope for a November release. If that doesn't 
happen, I pity the poor actors who will have to field questions about 
the delay for almost a year.
