The early reviews of this one have been fairly good. The publicity around the actor playing Harry stripping off in the West End can only be good for numbers. Add in ticket price inflation and this is likely to be on the higher rather than lower side of the numbers.

Going to try over 20 Million and cover my stake over 18 Million

Now get out there and watch it you bastards

Nice one Witt... I decided against a dabble,although I was considering a high figure..

Dang...I have to admit that 5-2 does look a bit big(price gone now mind.)

The three main reasons look like that its a summer release(and not up against much else for the first week) and given the success of Azkabhan which was the only other summer release that looks important...the release of the 7th book in only a few weeks secures this one extra publicity which not all of the others have enjoyed, and that little bit of inflation should add a smidgen extra on.

Looking good if your on the 5/2 I would say.

Cheers for the tip Rick.

Stakes restricted to £50!! which is pretty ironic as I've probably never won more than that ever with Powers
