a boycott is more than pointless, it's counterproductive for
any Harry Potter fan. I want to encourage future Potter
projects not discourage them.

Well, no, no and um, no.
You see, showing support was demanding WB release it on time, showing
support is telling WB that these movies aren't numbers in the matrix to the
rest of us.
What better way to show support than to deny WB their big opening weekend,
then see the film later. It tells WB not to f* with the fans, in any
circumstance.
It should be about art, about creators of art and about fans, not about a
balance sheet. That's what the boycott is about.
Telling them not to F* with the release date is not discouraging projects,
it's discouraging screwing with the fans. It's saying, well be there but you
have to hold up your end.
And no boycott of an opening weekend will kill or hurt a multi-billion
dollar franchise, let's get some perspective here my purple friend.
