| | |  Half-Blood Prince Australian release date petition
Some dedicated Potter fans in Australia have put together an online petition to get the release date for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince moved up in the land Down Under. It was previously announced that the Australian release date for the film will be December 11, nearly three weeks after the U.K. and U.S. release date of Nov. 21.
In 2006, a similar petition containing more than 2,200 signatures was presented to Warner Bros. regarding the fifth film, and the release date for Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix was subsequently moved up from September 6 to July 12, in line with the U.K. release date.
Those interested in helping can sign the petition here. | |

That's very cool. I think they should coincide...and it shouldn't take a petition to do it.  first to post.

Hmm. I hope it works for 'em. Although 3 weeks isn't quite so bad, I think.
Edit: They asked for a donation.  I was totally on board before they asked me for money

I don't understand the delays in film openings. One or two days, I understand, considering the opening days in each country, but weeks, even months, escape my comprehension. Hope they get their request.

I am so helping by signing.
I just don't see why they have to have release dates so far back.

Aww thanks you guys for signing. I don't know why we should have to wait 3 weeks after everyone else either. We're just as big HP fans as everyone else.

Actually, the donation is not required - all you have to do is close out of the window when you've reached the donation stage. It still adds your name to the petition!
Everyone, help out! It's not fair to them to have to wait so long.

Always more than happy to help a good cause! I've signed. Good luck Aussies! ♥ 
It's really a shame that WB toys with the release dates like this though. Every country should get it within the same week. What's the point of scattering it around eh?

We spent time here. We made friends here. That's a part of us.
Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,
and it's going to be around long after we're gone.
Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.
No matter how long you're away from it, there's always a way back. | |

Hope it works!
I signed the one for OotP, and we had that one changed!
this is my favourite book and I want to see the movie so much! The thought of waiting three weeks after it is released is disgraceful.
I gladly signed this one.
