Spirited Fans Move to Death-Threat and Hate-Mail Phase of ‘Harry Potter’ Fever

We don’t traffic in empathy much around here — especially for studio heads — but you can’t help but feel a bit sorry for Alan Horn these days, who has been reduced to peering under his car in a paranoid state before each trip to and from the Warners lot, searching for some Harry Potter fan’s homemade peat-moss explosive affixed to his gas tank with frog spit and the hovering air of revenge. Surely he knew what he was getting into when he pushed Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince from this November to July 2009 (he’s already apologized), but still, no one deserves to live under the type of shrieking death-threat duress graphically laid out by The Wall Street Journal:

    Well, yeah, all we hate him (or them, the Warner Bros. people), but I think it’s overacted that this people is so angry that are able to do such things to them. It’s just not civilized…

    Warner brothers have totally underestimated Harry potter fans!! We have been counting down the days untill the release of The Half Blood Prince. The fans are the ones who made Harry Potter the icon he is, long before WB got involved. Who do they think they are holding THBP hostage?? Keep signing petitions, sending emails and howlers. Boycott anything WB puts out. They won’t be getting any more of my money!!

  • Lucy

    i’m totally angry too!!! please send one email!
    i haaateeee WB!!!

  • Cekava

    Good job Harry Potter fans!!!

  • derbil

    Keep signing petitions, sending howlers, and emails. Boycott!!!!!! eveything that is Warner Brothers, (except for Harry Potter).If we stand together, we can make a difference!! The fans have made Harry Potter the icon that he is, long before WBs became involved. Do not give in!!

  • jean walker

    we have over 47500 signatures at petitionspot protesting the delay and growing more every day. Boycott all Warner Brothers movies and merchandise untill they change the date back!! To delay it a month or two is one thing but an additional 8 months is insane. And Harry Potter fans will not stand for it. They are going to lose far more money by the delay. Harry Potter fans are fiercely loyal!!
