You need more than art and fans to make a movie, you need money and lots of it. Of course the Potter movies are not just numbers on a balance sheet to you because you didn't spend a nickel making them; if you had spent several hundred million dollars on a project and your future livelihood depended on it then I imagine you'd also do everything you could think of to minimize the possibility of failure. 

I was disappointed the movie didn't open in November too but this outrage seems a bit overdone to me. At the very least I have to say that your boycott seems unlikely to reach the heroic stature of something like the 1955 Montgomery Alabama Bus Boycott that started the civil rights movement.

I agree it will have absolutely no effect, zero, zilch, nada,
goose egg; so remind me again about the purpose of this thing.
