How about everywhere else? Canada? Mexico? Australia?

That's part of what we're inquiring about right now, actually.

:woot: YAY!!!!!!!!! I get to watch it before I go to the beach on vacation! :woot:

As much as that is good news,ummm...what's the point of moving it forward by only 2 days? :blink:

Course now all the piccy's and promo's they sent out saying 17th July will be wrong,just like the ones that said November before. :lol:
I don't know why I find that funny...

Don't get me wrong,though,I am excited that it's nearer than before! :D

Two days, huh? I suppose that's better than nothing *sigh* I do wonder what the release dates will be internationally, though.

Hooray!!! It's been moved up!! I can't wait to see it!!
though I totally though it was coming out in June!! My bad!

I really hope they don't move it again :/

I was planning on going over for the premiere

*is sad*

OMG! A whopping two days! Let's all go nuts! Ahhhhhh!
No.

Whats the point?
*sighs*
Well, it's better than nothing. At Least they didn't move it further away.

How about they release it in May! How about May first, my birthday! Now that would be sweet!

Yay! I'll get to watch it on the first day then! :xd:

OMFGGG!

SKDFJASKLFJD!

I just did a Warner Brothers dance for like 15467 minutes straight.
And now I'm out of breath.

All I can say is:
WOOOOOOOOOOO!

7.15.09!! HECK YES!

Two Days Earlier!!! Yes!!! Good Job Wb!!! I'm So Excited!!!! :D

This really upsets me! lol. Because the original release date was on my birthday anddd I was going to see it for my birthday, haha. But now I guess I'll see it two days earlier, which isn't too bad I suppose :P I am VERY excited to see it, though :)

YAY!!! but that kind of screwed up my plans! lol
i was going to have a big Harry Potter weekend but now its going to have to be a Harry Potter WEEK! =]

That means it's probably going to come out on July 13th in the UK!! So not fair!! I need to go there for the premiere!

Lol, just make this your new birthdate :D

WHOOOO! that's a whole 2 days before - and a wednesday!!! 2 day's before i break up for summer! so i will be able to go and see it with my best mate (who attends a different school ,and we weren't going to see it together on the 17th as i will break up at 1:15 (normally luch time) and she at her normal time of 3:30! whoooo1

OMG this is FANTASTIC!!!!

I am going to freak out, I also had planned on having a HP weekend, I can do that during our county fair, it starts the same day!!!!

Hell YES!
Ok for me that's pretty damn cool!
WB I nearly forgive you :loved:
This had better be in the UK as well!
*dances with fangirly joy*

moving the release date up affects where i will be when it is released....if it is the 15th of July, it will be in Ireland that i shall see this for the first time.
