So I’m not that annoyed about Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban being released on June 4 – I mean, it’s kind of cool that we won’t have to wait until the winter to see the next one – but I still think of the HP movies as something best enjoyed around the holidays. There’s something wonderful about coming out of one of those movies just as the snow is beginning for fall, or going to see one with your younger relatives after a big holiday dinner. That’s why I’m happy that next year, according to this story at scifi.com, Harry Potter and the Epic Wait for a Potty Break Goblet of Fire is set to be released on November 18. Yay!
