No More Potter DVD's?

According to the cool folks over at Hpana, Warner Bros. intends to pull all HARRY POTTER dvd's from stores as of February 9th, 2007. The first three in the series, THE SORCERER'S STONE, THE CHAMBER OF SECRETS and PRISONER OF AZKABAN, will be gone by December 29th, 2006 with GOBLET OF FIRE getting its ass booted by February. Warner Bros. is hoping to boost sales seeing as how there won't be a HARRY POTTER film released this holiday season (HARRY POTTER AND THE ORDER OF PHOENIX will be released July 13th of next year). So, make sure to help Warner Bros. sell millions and millions more dvds before they lock those bad boys in their vault. It could be up to two years before they start releasing the films again. And maybe even up to four years before the special editions are released.

WHATEVER.

There are always "locks" on certain titles on DVD whenever new super-duper SE DVDs come along. Hell, Wal-Mart has been trying to get rid of their supplies of BLADE RUNNER, in time for that "Final Cut" DVD out next year.

As for "up to 4 years", that's fucking silly. Really, joblow.com of all websites should know better. Then again, its joblow. They know SHIT.

Here you go Irish... book your plane fare now. :p

Harry Potter ditches the glasses
...and all his clothes

By Jack Malvern, Arts Reporter

HE found fame wearing wizards’ gowns and schoolboy scarves, but Daniel Radcliffe has chosen to make his debut on the London stage wearing nothing at all.

The 17-year-old actor, who is now a multimillionaire thanks to the Harry Potter films, has been cast as the stable boy in Equus, Peter Shaffer’s controversial drama about a boy’s erotic relationship with horses.

Peter Thompson, a spokesman for the production, said that Radcliffe would appear in the play, scheduled for early 2007 in a West End theatre.

He will play Alan Strang, a psychologically disturbed youth who is interviewed by a psychiatrist after he blinds six horses with a metal spike.

The role requires the actor to simulate sexual pleasure while riding naked on his horse. It is a departure for Radcliffe, whose career has been dominated by his part as JK Rowling’s teenage wizard. He recently finished filming December Boys, in which he plays one of four orphans hoping to be adopted.

Richard Griffiths, who plays Harry Potter’s curmudgeonly uncle in the films, is in talks to take the psychiatrist role. It would be a triumphant return to the London stage for the actor, who won a Tony award for his lead role in The History Boys.

Last week, the pair were filming Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, the fifth in the series.

Shaffer’s work caused a sensation when it was first staged at the National Theatre in 1973. It transferred to Broadway, where it starred Anthony Hopkins, and ran for 1,200 performances, making it one of the most successful plays in New York history. It was made into a Hollywood film starring Richard Burton in 1977.

The playwright, whose works include Amadeus and The Royal Hunt of the Sun, based the story on a real-life incident in which a boy inexplicably maimed six horses.

It encompasses sexual awakening, Greek mythology and religion. The psychiatrist attempts to explain the boy’s actions, but must confront his own demons in the process.

The play was the subject of controversy recently after John Owen, a drama teacher at Ysdgol Gyfun Rhydfelen in Pontypridd, was accused of sexual abuse after staging it as a school play. He committed suicide the day before he was due to appear in court.

A subsequent report by the National Assembly for Wales called for a ban on Equus in schools.

Radcliffe’s agent did not respond to inquiries last night.

Iv discovered this website.
Harry Potter Website- Snitch Seeker

I joined the Forums and i find it a really good site!

I'm now reading the sixth novel, the Half Blood Prince. Think this is the best one yet! Love HP!

Me too. Hope you like it! Tell us what you thought once youv finished it or before!

[QB] I am a big fan of the Harry Potter movies and just tonight my ma tells me that she picked up a copy of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince for me

What kind of gangster ru? I hope 'ma' was also cooking pasta for your buttons(just kidding)

i really 'adore' the movies. i love the actors the music and the cinematography. i have only read the first two books however.

Who said I was any kind of "gangster." And don't talk about my mother. Joking or not, that's not cool man so in the future don't do it!

ok man, sorry man. don't worry man, i don't see your mom coming up in the next barzini post i make.

Aww don't argue this thread is to talk about harry potter!

Can we argue about Harry Potter?

I dunno it's not my thread can we Irishman?

We can discuss Harry Potter, sure. But bringing other's family members into this discussion (joking or not) is totally not cool!

well i didnt expect anyone to read anything i would write under this thread.

but u r correct

So do you enjoy reading Harry Potter? And have you managed to read them all!?

i dont think i will have them finished for a while. thats why i try to gather info. from other ppl.

i think that just like the godfather movies the harry potter movies can truly be viewed as a seperate piece of 'art' from that of the book. at times the movies tend to 'write their own side of the story' if you will.

Please watch this video it's good if you want Hermione and Ron to be together! It made me cry nearly.

Ron/Hermione romantic video!

Ahahahahhahh

Herminone's role was reduced BIG TIME in 4. wud up w/ that ?
