Harry Potter Delayed for Sophie

There's been lots of speculation about why the release of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is being changed from November 21, 2008 to July 17, 2009. (Some blame it on fallout from the writer's strike, or maybe Warner Brothers is scared of a vampire movie based on a book I've never even heard of.)

But the answer is simply that Sophie's estimated due date is November 23, and there's no way that Tina and I could be assured that we could watch the movie in the theaters.

Jamie and I were able to sneak in The Dark Knight four days before Luke was born but I was so distracted by Braxton Hicks contractions and numerous trips to the bathroom that I missed a lot...

We watched The Two Towers while Tina was pregnant with Anna. We're convinced that the reason Anna is sooo loud is because of the orcs.

(This was at the Capitol Theater in Arlington, which shows second run movies, so it was pretty close to Anna's due date.)
