While I love the books a hell of a lot more than the films, it's still nice to see what I read, so I am looking forward to the last two films. Even though a lot of stuff is left out, they do a nice job of making movies out of the books.

I know. The only two movies I didn't like much was the first two. Me personally I don't like how Columbus directed them. Yes it was nice they didn't deviate from the book, but it felt like there was no creativity or malleability to the movies. :(

What really annoys me is all the scenes they cut out.

For all the HP movies, they should have made an extended version for DVD. Unless they have them already, and I didn't know about them?

Thats what I hated about OOTP they cut so much out that at times I wondered how the movie was going to end.

Warner Bros. Pictures today announced that it has moved back the release date of ?Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince? to Summer 2009. The sixth installment of the blockbuster Harry Potter franchise will now open day-and-date domestically and in the major international markets on July 17, 2009. The announcement was made by Alan Horn, President and Chief Operating Officer, Warner Bros.

In making the announcement, Mr. Horn stated, ?Our reasons for shifting ?Half-Blood Prince? to summer are twofold: we know the summer season is an ideal window for a family tent pole release, as proven by the success of our last Harry Potter film, which is the second-highest grossing film in the franchise, behind only the first installment. Additionally, like every other studio, we are still feeling the repercussions of the writers? strike, which impacted the readiness of scripts for other films?changing the competitive landscape for 2009 and offering new windows of opportunity that we wanted to take advantage of. We agreed the best strategy was to move ?Half-Blood Prince? to July, where it perfectly fills the gap for a major tent pole release for mid-summer.?

Jeff Robinov, President of Warner Bros. Motion Picture Group, confirmed, ?The release date change does not alter the production schedule for this or future Harry Potter films. Post-production on ?Half-Blood Prince? was completed on time, and the studio?s release plans for the two-part ?Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows? will not be affected by this change. We know Harry Potter fans are eagerly anticipating seeing the final chapters unfold onscreen. In fact, the good news for them is that the gap will now be shortened between ?Half-Blood Prince? and the first part of ?Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.??

Commenting on the release date change for ?Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince,? David Heyman, the producer of all the Harry Potter films, offered, ?When Jeff Robinov explained the rationale behind moving the release date of ?Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince? to July 2009, it was immediately apparent that this offered us the potential to reach the widest possible audience. I am extremely proud of this latest film and of the work of David Yates and our incomparable cast; I believe we have developed and pushed the series further still. We are all looking forward to sharing it with Harry Potter fans around the world, even if we have to wait just a bit longer.?

David Yates, the director of both ?Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix? and ?Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince? and who will also helm ?Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows,? added, ?It has been a joy to work on ?Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.? Dan, Rupert and Emma and all our returning young cast continue to blossom, and our new cast members bring fresh color and life to Hogwarts. Even as we put the finishing touches on this latest film, we are already beginning preparations on the final two films?we start filming in February?and I am excited to bring this remarkable series to the exciting and moving conclusion its loyal fans deserve.?

In ?Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince,? Voldemort is tightening his grip on both the Muggle and wizarding worlds and Hogwarts is no longer the safe haven it once was. Harry suspects that dangers may even lie within the castle, but Dumbledore is more intent upon preparing him for the final battle that he knows is fast approaching. Meanwhile, the students are under attack from a very different adversary as teenage hormones rage across the ramparts. Love is in the air, but tragedy lies ahead and Hogwarts may never be the same again.

    • Why Delta Chat is the best decentralized messenger you have probably never tried

      Just install Linux Mint that is a real blessing and many times cheaper because you can continue using your old Windows computer/laptop with the latest Linux updates.
    • Why Delta Chat is the best decentralized messenger you have probably never tried

      By Nas · Posted

      Interesting share -- however it does not make sense: Email messages get stored somewhere, so how is Delta Chat "based on email" and decentralized without actually storing anything? By Web3 standard practices, the various Relays would require dedicated storage to make messages available to the recipients (like a large series of message queue channels, akin to racks of traditional post office boxes)... and Contacts must be two-way confirmed in order for encryption keys to be exchanged (ostensibly every key-pair is uniquely bound between sender and recipient) and the Relays would preserve the public keys in order to facilitate message carriage... or every device stores all sorts of keys and contact info. All of this to say, decentralized messaging is like running Bluesky nodes except instead of discovering/browsing public feeds by various posters (at the given node) these Delta Chats would be relaying encrypted messages (via Relays) that only trusted recipients would have the appropriate decryption key (their own private key) to read it. But this doesn't solve the "it's like email" sales pitch. The only way it's like email is that there's encrypted binary stuff being transported from your app into the federated ether of Delta Chat Relays for others to decrypt (hopefully only the intended recipient)... but outside of this federated relays framework, it is absolutely nothing like email.
