A Crying Shame!

CEB spotted this on Amazon:

Harry Potter fan-sites got a very special delivery from Hogwarts today with a sneak-peek at the new trailer for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. And it seems appropriate that the trailer will make its big-screen debut next week in front of Twilight, who zoomed into the Half-Blood Prince's original pre-Thanksgiving release date when the Potter pic moved to Summer 2009. Aghhhh!!! (I am not a very patient person -- this is very, very bad news)

Boo hoo hoo! I am, well in a word, outraged! No, really that is a bit too strong... anyway this new schedule is such a crying shame!

Not sure what that means? See below:

An unfortunate situation, as in It's a crying shame that Bob can't find a job. This term may well come from the now obsolete to cry shame upon, meaning "express vigorous disapproval or censure," current from about 1600 to the mid-1800s.
