No.Limberger responds:
I'd have to say that WB does appear to be spending a lot more money
on advertising and promoting HBP than previous HP films. I suspect
several reasons for this:
1. WB knows that it's decision to delay the release of the film from
November, 2008 to July, 2009 upset the HP fan base.
2. A full two years have elapsed since the final HP book was published,
as well as the last HP film, OotP.
3. The addition of a scene that is not part of the original book may
also upset the fan base.
All I can say is that I'm looking forward to seeing the film next week
and hope that it will be good.
