Potter fans in for a disappointment?

For all Harry Potter fans, who had planned to spend their weekend with the young wizard, here's some shocking news. The last film of the Harry Potter series -- 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2' -- may not be released this Friday reportedly because of a tussle between the distributors and multiplex owners. Reportedly multiplexes have demanded 55% share and wants the distributors to take just 45%. This is not agreeable as distributors want 50% share.

Multiplex owners in the city say that advance bookings for the film have not yet opened which is not the case with other films set to release this Friday. One manager, who did not want to be named says, "We were supposed to start advance bookings from Wednesday but we still haven't received confirmation to open sales as yet. Tentatively, the bookings will now open from Thursday morning."
Rakesh Patel, another multiplex owner says, "I have had many enquiries from customers. But for the Harry Potter film we will open the bookings from Thursday morning. Both 'Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara' and 'Harry Potter' are eagerly awaited."
Online booking websites also do not mention advance bookings in city. While Potter's fate will be decided this Friday, it seems his fans are all upbeat about the movie. Maansi Sharma, a die-hard Potter fan says, "Excited???? I am psyched about Potter. I have literally grown up with him. I am eagerly waiting for Friday."
While Sharma seems excited, another fan Ruchika Shetty, a professional says, "I am super excited about the Harry Potter movie and the 3D version adds to the excitement."
