Warner Brothers believes that HBP can
open just as amazing as The Dark Knight.

Do not yell at me, it is just a theory.

Kind of off the subject, but not worthy of it's own post:

The author is English (I think) and the books are set in England.

I've noticed in the Harry Potter books, they talk about soccer. I thought that was only an American term and the rest of the world calls that football. Also, there was a reference to Boxing Day, which I think is a Canadian holiday only. I'm confused.

Won't break my heart. I was always an avid Harry hater and always will be. People I know don't like Lion King anymore after Harry Potter came out, the movies are drab and boring. I don't like how they make a hero out of a warlock.

Some things were changed in the American release of the books. The British title for the first Harry Potter book was the "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone," but for the US the Philosopher's Stone in the book and the title was called the Sorcerer's Stone instead. Since WB is an American company and they were turning it into the film, the film was also called "Sorcerer's Stone." Ditto for soccar/football.

Dunno about Boxing Day though.
