More HP6

More and more Harry Potter.... EVERYWHERE. Im serious. Warner Bros. is promoting the 'you know what' out of this flick. As they should! It has taken them so long to get it out that people are most likely forgetting what even happened in the previous.

But, with the film exactly a month away... (whoo hoo! the countdown has now begun...) Im seeing far more advertising than for the Transformers sequel (which is less than two weeks from its debut).

I'm actually finding it really impressive how much they are promoting 'HP6' here in Los Angeles. Posters lining the sides of buildings, every bus stop showcasing some hero or villain, and billboards all over the place. And what is really interesting, is that all the advertisements are different. They must have like 15 different ads. And you know what is really neat, the ads dont actually say "Harry Potter" on them. Its written in the background but also cut off. Its to the point where the characters are so well known that everyone just assumes its the next HP film. I think that is neat.

Here is one I took a picture of, just off of Hollywood Boulevard, showcasing the heros (though not far away is a building sized poster showcasing the villains).

One thing... I just have to mention.... Is what I read is being omitted/added from/to the film. I found out recently, that a very important scene is being taken out. I understand that you cant possibly include everything from the book (Tom Bombadil), but the HP franchise has taken out so much.

And be warned... Not a lot of action happened in this book... so why cut out stuff... and add other stuff... no clue.

Wikipedia is reporting that the Dursleys have been cut out, the final battle omitted, Dobby/Kreacher both gone, Fudge/Scrimgeour.... and another final scene... which I wont go into for 'spoiler' purposes. But then... director David Yates is adding scenes. WHY? I have no flipping idea. *Grumble*. Hopefully, some nerd got on wikipedia and changed everything.

Lets keep our fingers crossed that this movies turns out... (all the sudden I'm much less excited....)
