In light of today’s announcement that the release of Harry Potter and the Halfblood Prince will be pushed to July 2009, many Snape fen are wondering if the film is cursed. How are we supposed to survive the winter without our Snapey fix?
The official movie web site reflects the change and a rationalization for the move can be found here.
But there is a silver lining on this pair of graying underpants: the new release date coincides with Azkatraz, HPEF’s 2009 conference in San Fransisco. The organizers have arranged tickets at a nearby IMAX for the first midnight showing. For more information check out the announcement here or join the Azkatraz LJ community.

I was thinking about Azkatraz when I heard this news yesterday actually. This new date just screws up everything! I can’t belive it! I woke up this morning and I was like “okay, okay, they MUST have changed it back, we are all pissed off that we don’t get our Snape for another 11 months,’ but no…It’s kind of funny how sad I was, I was reduced to tears yesterday. There can’t be any rationalization for this change other than more money. It’s ridiculous.
Anyway, I love your podcast and, now more than ever, we all need our Snape fix.
