In the U.S. Harry Potter: The Deathly Hallows part 2 does not come until the midnight showings late Thursdays, but Korea is finally becoming lucky and getting it Wednesday morning... add in the time zones, and we'll get it about 2-3 days ahead of the U.S.
This is a hugeee step above the first part. South Korea was *literally* the LAST country to get Harry Potter - on December 16, one month after the first release date. At the time, the U.S. and South Korea didn't have their trade agreement, or were in the process of amending it.
Originally we heard whispers of not getting it until December again, which would've been utterly terrible because at that point it'd probably be available on DVD in the U.S. Then it changed to July 15, then July 14, and now finally July 13, a lucky find while searching the theater times on Sunday.
CANNOT WAIT!!!! But also slightly disappointed knowing a large chunk of childhood is about to be over. I can remember my mom bringing home the first book from the library and her reading it to my sister and me in my bedroom. And then watching the first movie during Thanksgiving vacation in Destin, FL that rainy weekend.
Stay tuned for thoughts and other ramblings...
