Harry Potter 6 on July 19, 2009

Looks like I should wait a little longer for the release of the next installment of Harry Potter movie, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Warner Bros. has announced that the movie's release date was pushed back to Jul 17, 2009 instead of November of this year.

I was searching for updates about the movie and I found some official statements from Warner Bros on why they move the release of the movie next year...

Alan Horn, President and Chief Operating Officer, Warner Bros. 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.

While producer David Heyman 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.

nande? nande?

In the middle of working on my pile of tasks, I suddenly thought of searching for the trailer of the 6th installment of Harry Potter film, The Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. But sad to say, I get to see this:

Which is kinda annoying because when I turned left I saw someone watching a video on Youtube! So meanie! Why does Youtube have to be blocked? Nande? Nande?! (etchos! Syempre, I know the answer! lol) Sigh... I think its high time for me to own a PC or a Laptop. In that way, I don't get to face this kind of prompt (whatever you call this) anymore.

So, you might wanna know what happened to me after seeing such "thing" on my desktop. Of course, for someone like me who believes in the saying, if there's a will, there's a way, some things aren't impossible... Here it is!



I am really excited and can't wait to watch this .



P.S.
I got two wishes at the moment. First, I wish I'm still here when Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince opens on theaters.Second, I hope I won't get to see that "thing" soon! If not, I'll end up reading fanfics and mangas again ;-)

My Desktop (Printscreen Meme)

Hey, guys! I'm back! But not totally... heheheh.. I know that this past few weeks I have been quite busy with some important stuff- tasks and of course, my dearest NARUTO! So, what's so interesting about this new entry of mine? Hmmm... Probably being able to see other people's desktop screenshot?! I dunno...

Anyhow, here it is! My desktop:


I haven't changed my desktop background since the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows hype. I got this photo from deviantart.com. It's Harry and Ginny's kissing scene after winning the housecup (HBP). I did a little editing on this photo that's why it isn'tthat obvious. Wanna check how the original looks like?... heheheh

Sorry, I Lied

Just wanna post the first ever video I uploaded in youtube! Thanks to greendesire of deviantart for the photo I used and Dishwalla for the song.. hehehehe I really love this scene in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. It really goes well with the song from Dishwalla, Every Little Thing :



Let me in to see you in the morning light
to get me on and all along the tears they come
see all come I want you to believe in life
but I get the strangest feeling that you've gone away
will you find out who you are too late to change?

I wish I could be every little thing you wanted all the time
I wish I could be every little thing you wanted all the time, sometimes

lift me up just lift me up don't make a sound
and let me hold you up before you hit the Ground
see all come you say your all right
but I get the strangest feeling that you've gone away- you've gone away
and will you find out who you are too late to change?

Don't give me up, don't give me up tonight
or soon nothing will be right at all salvation will you find out who you are too late to change?

P.S. I know I said that I won't be writing about Harry Potter stuff after my last entry... Well, I lied!

This will be the LAST (I Hope)

Pardon me but I just can't stop myself posting this... I love this part (on the right) of the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (and the hell care if others hated the epilogue!)...

Though I honestly thought it would be great if there's some sweet moments among the characters before the epilogue part. But I'm glad I came across this drawing in deviantART. Men, there are really amazing drawings there! And this drawing struck me the most...

ALL HAIL SNAPE! He's the HERO! LOL

Since we don't what happened after the Battle at Hogwarts, here's another amazing pic (on the left) I got from deviantART! I believe there's a great possibility that this one had happened!This one is really funny! LOL and I love it!








Note: The photos aren't mine

Epilogue- Nineteen Years Later

Just tonight, I got hold of a copy of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows in pdf.. Thanks to Joven's generosity , I don't have to suffer reading the book through images because it really makes my eyes hurt (though I still can't stop reading it!)... Okay, it has been more than a couple of weeks that I've been dwelling about what will happened to the characters in the story. I've already read the part wherein Harry's pet Hedwig died as well as Mad-eye Moody, who was hit by the Killing curse, Avada Kedavra and George's ear was hit by Secumsempra... But what interests me most is that who else will die?

Beth and I thought that perhaps Ron will die... There were lots of hearsay about him dying in the last Harry Potter book... Will he really die? Thanks to my new copy of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, I can't help but read the epilogue! Yeah, shame on me but what can I do? I just can't help it... The feeling of reading the eplilogue is like an itch that's needed to be scratched! Anyways, I'm glad Ron's alive in the last chapter... I'd feel bad for Hermione if she end up being alone...

So, what's next? What else have I read? Well, let's just say I stumble upon Harry and Ginny's kids named James, Albus Severus, and Lily as well a Ron and Hermione's Hugo and Rose (if I'm not mistaken)...

Men, just can't wait to finish the book soon!

Make a Stand- Deathly Hallows Spoilers

I visited Mugglenet.com for the latest update of the last volume of Harry Potter book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. There, I've read that New York Times was able to purchase the last Harry Potter installment from an unnamed bookstore and has posted a review about it which, also contained spoilers about what is to be expected in the Deathly Hallows.

Here are some of the spoilers I ripped off from the article entitled An Epic Showdown as Harry Potter Is Initiated Into Adulthood in New York Times which was published on 19th of July 2007:

• At least a half-dozen characters we have come to know die in these pages, and many others are wounded or tortured

• Voldemort and his followers have infiltrated Hogwarts and the Ministry of Magic, creating havoc and terror in the Wizard and Muggle worlds alike

• Harry continues to struggle to control his temper, and as he and Ron and Hermione search for the missing Horcruxes

• Harry’s weird psychic connection with Voldemort seems to have grown stronger too

• Invisibility cloak, Polyjuice Potion, Dumbledore’s Pensieve and Sirius’s flying motorcycle — play important roles in this volume

• One of the plot’s significant turning points concerns Harry’s decision on whether to continue looking for the Horcruxes or to pursue the Hallows, three magical objects said to make their possessor the master of Death

So, how was that? Interesting, eh? Men, Just can't wait to read book 7!

Felix Felicis- I'm Inlove

Lately I have this Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince fever in me. I've finished reading book six and its kinda exhilarating for me... I mean with all the love story that goes with it, I feel like becoming a teenager again! Actually, two years ago, after hearing from Beth that Harry ended up "falling" for Ginny in the sixth book, I was sort of disappointed coz I first pictured him out with Hermione. I've always liked stories about bestfriends "falling" for each other, you know! . However, after reading the book I really enjoy Harry and Ginny's story. Perhaps I took the possibility of them falling for each other for granted because the story usually revolves around Harry, Ron, and Hermione.

Just like others, I have favorite scenes in the Half-Blood Prince. I smiled, laughed, cried while reading the book but what I like most was falling in love especially was when Harry kissed Ginny in front of fifty people after winning the Quidditch match wherein Harry wasn't able to play because he had detention with Prof. Snape and Ginny had to play as the Seeker to replace Harry... I think the scene was kinda sweet and I loved it!And perhaps I had a couple drops of Felix Felicis that I was lucky enough to stumble upon a drawing of this scene in deviantART.com which was created by greendesire. I really liked the drawing because that was how I imagined it to be when I was reading the book.... heheheh... I just wish I was part of the scene coz that would be more exciting!

Harry looked around; there was Ginny running toward him; she had a hard, blazing look in her face as she threw her arms around him. And without thinking, without planning it, without worrying about the fact that fifty people were watching, Harry kissed her.

After several long moments — or it might have been half an hour — or possibly several sunlit days — they broke apart. The room had gone very quiet. Then several people wolf-whistled and there was an outbreak of nervous giggling. Harry looked over the top of Ginny's head to see Dean Thomas holding a shattered glass in his hand, and Romilda Vane looking as though she might throw something. Hermione was beaming, but Harry's eyes sought Ron. At last he found him, still clutching the Cup and wearing an expression appropriate to having been clubbed over the head. For a fraction of a second they looked at each other, then Ron gave a tiny jerk of the head that Harry understood to mean, Well—if you must.

The creature in his chest roaring in triumph, he grinned down at Ginny and gestured wordlessly out of the portrait hole. A long walk in the grounds seemed indicated, during which — if they had time — they might discuss the match.

Jeez, after watching Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix, I can't wait for the next installment of Harry Potter in the big screen! Right now, I feel itchy about the last book- Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. I just wish the paperback version will be out soon coz I really wanted to read the last book ASAP!

Thank God its Friday!

I was late for work tonight. I, together with Maribeth were late for forty-five minutes and I was thinking how much money will be deducted from my salary.Well, thanks to Harry and the Gang, not to mention the Simpsons Family, Remy, and Detective John McClane, I have to stay behind to have my pictures taken with 'em!

It was one heck of a Friday since it was our first time to eat at Greenwich knowing that Merbin, the manager has been there for a year! It was only now that we persuaded her to give us discount.

And so, for the main event, HARRY POTTER... Watching the fifth installment of the famous children's book Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix was an exciting thing for me... I mean, I have let big Hollywood blockbusters like Pirates of the Carribean at World's End, Spiderman 3, Fantastic Four: The Rise of the Silver Surfer passed (without watching them) but not Harry Potter!

They say the movie is a disappointment. I think so too! however, I should say that I still enjoyed watching it.. I mean the Weasley twins are getting cuter and funnier every Harry Potter movie and I found Nymphadora Tonks kinda attractive (she looks like a rockstar with those eyes!) In the end, I can't wait to watch the next installment and read the last book! Whew! Just can't wait what will happen to Harry and Ginny. Will they have sex? I mean make love?! lol What?! they're still humans! Besides in book six some of the characters would snog each other as if there's no tomorrow! (Ok, that's an exaggeration)...


(hahahah.. Nonsense!)
