Dear Fans,

Yes, WB moved HPB moved to next summer as a marketing decision, since they have few other big blockbusters lined up to make money off. Yes, I get that you're quite understandably pissed off and disappointed, as I would be too if I had ever given a damn about the HP movies. But you know, WB is a business and making money is what businesses do. And chances right now are that HPB will be an even bigger hit in the summer, which is when people usually kick back and go to movies.

But please, please do not insinuate/ hint/ gripe about how WB pulled HPB because it is SCARED OF COMPETING WITH FUCKING TWILIGHT. Half the movie-going public has yet to even catch wind of SMeyer's novel. I don't hate the book, I've never even read it, but I DO know that HP has been a ten-year-long international phenomenon the likes of which Twilight can never compete with at this stage.

Especially after that godawful EW Twilight cover that has RPattz looking like a cross between a zombie and sugar donut.

So the next person to announce that one of the most lucrative movie franchises ever is shakin' in its boots because of some sparkly vampire is going to have their crack taken away and LOCKED UP.

Thank you.

With love and a headache,
Moi
