    Hi all,
    Watched the Harry Potter films on rte the last few nights and went ahead to record the rest. I see they are showing all but The Half Blood Prince for some reason... Anyone know why this may be so?

    Aww. I too have been watching, and was looking forward to seeing them all in order. I just presumed they'd all be on. And that's my favourite one!

    I see lots of people getting annoyed about this on Twitter now. It seems like a really weird decision and I'd love to know why, but since RTE don't seem to respond to queries I guess we'll just have to keep guessing.

    Maybe they don’t have the rights yet. How recently was it released?

    2009. They've shown it before. Theyre skipping it and moving on to show the two later films.

    They have just tweeted to say they aren't licensed to show it. At least they have given a response.

    Crazy that they could be licensed to show the other seven but not the 6th installment. I wonder what it is about that one? Is this usually a case of someone else (ITV?) having the rights and stopping them or is it they could have had it if they paid more?

    Virgin/TV3 probably have the rights

    Itv showing all of them I think, so don't see why they would refuse to allow RTE not show one of them

    Yes ITV showing them all (I don't have ITV though so no use to me unfortunately). I have no knowledge of how these rights/licensing things work. I know the likes of Sky seem to be able to buy things up and stop others from showing them (has happened with lots of Christmas films in recent years), and obviously a channel can buy the rights to exclusively show a certain TV series, but it seems really odd to be able to buy the right to show a whole series of films, except one - and not even the most recent one.
