The editors at EW have some fun with this faux-pas: "EW and Warner Bros. share a parent company, but they clearly do not share, you know, important friggin' information." The editors then provide Warners' explanation for the move: "As for why the film was pushed out of fall, the studio explained in a statement that summertime is the 'ideal window for a family tent pole release.' But this, presumably, is not something the executives just figured out this morning." Uh-huh! Let me tell you the real reason: On September 5, 2008, Daniel Radcliffe will be showing his family (making) tent pole on Broadway in Equus, and Warners didn't want an Angel Heart vs. The Cosby Show-style split between the family-friendly and the family-freaked out. Seeing Harry's magic wand isn't at all disturbing (y'all know you wanna see it); knowing he wants to cast spells on horses with it, however, is quite disturbing. So, remember, folks: Harry 6 comes out in July 17, 2009. Harry's 6 comes out on September 5th, 2008.

Meanwhile, the first film in Stephenie Meyer's Twilight vampire series has stolen Harry's November 21st slot. It seems like this series, which unlike Potter's, I haven't read, is like Harry's little sister begging for the spotlight. Considering I've never liked vampires, I'll have to pass on both the movie and the books. Besides, vampires suck -- and I don't mean literally -- because they're not scary. What can they do to me? Steal my girlfriend and bite her neck? Take her! (Sorry, honey, I'm just being facetious! I know, I know. On the couch I go.) EW's review of the latest Twilight book points out that vampires love rough sex with masochistic, wanna-be-preggers heroines of teenager-oriented books, which still doesn't affect, scare, nor interest me. Harry Potter's got a boner for horses, and the Twilight series sounds like Judy Blume crossed with The Story of O. No wonder kids love reading this stuff!
