My initial reaction was obv something along the lines of: DHSfuwfgeri  geghjubvgejf?!
and to tell the truth it still kinda is. I don't get the reasoning behind it, at all. The movie is going to make WB millions upon millions of dollars, regardless of when it is released. I don't get how they're feeling the aftereffects from the writers strike, and if they were wouldn't the money from the movie actually help that? And what about the video game release? Thats scheduled for November, and the Royal showing, didn't they already start selling tickets for that? It was a pointless move thats just going to aggrevate the fan base even more than we already were with the lack of information on the movie. I just really wish they would have released this sooner, because I'm sure I wasn't the only one getting comfortable and just waiting it out now that we at least got a teaser. This is all just frustrating. There has to be some other reason as to why they pushed it back. And it really made me laugh how they tried to give this news a brightside with how its now closer to DH, I'm sorry but that doesn't make me feel any better, I'd rather have my November release date back thank you very much.

"The money was the very last thing I expected because I was just very used to being quite broke. Never in my wildest, wildest imagining — and as we know, I have a good imagination — had I dreamt that I would have a hundredth or a thousandth of the money Harry has brought me." - JKR, USA Today
Don't you just adore Jo?

I'm annoyed and disappointed! I'm also wondering if WB had this planned for awhile and that's why there weren't any trailers. We've all questioned why there weren't any and it seemed unbelievable that they were taking so long, so this may be the answer.

ABSOLUTELY GUTTED!!!!
i am truly devasted, i was sooo excited as it has been a year since DH came out and the fact that HBP was out this year made it a little easier to cope with knowing there will be no more books...
this is such a money making scheme, i wonder what Jo Rowling thinks -of all the people she knows what us HP fans are like and how much we all love having something new to discuss and wait for...
i understand what icianom is saying and yes not too much of a wait for DH that way, but to tell us it is out in November, give us the teaser trailer with trading cards and then push it back is not fair to the people who will be the most dissapointed, the movie-goers who could not be bothered to pick up the book, will i believe not care one way or another.
Also now we will get HBP in July 09, DH P1 in Nov 10 with DH P2 in May 11 and then what happens with DVD releases, just seems like DH will most likely be pushed back too, even though they are saying it won't happen.
pfffft i dunno, v. depressing.
btw, snady i totally agree, give us back our november release date, i reckon petition time??
