Warner Bros. today confirmed what several entertainment and fan sites reported recently: that Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix will be opening in theatres July 13, 2007.
Earlier, sources told us the date was targeted but that Warner Bros. had not absolutely committed to it. Targeting a release date is not uncommon, as it gives the studios and their competitors a chance to stake a claim for opening weekends (and who wants to go up against a Harry Potter movie?). In many cases, a targeted date becomes the official date.
Admittedly, this doesn't bode well for the popular fan speculation that book 7 will be released 07/07/07, unless WB and the Potter book publishers don't care about such a close release window. Still, producer David Heyman promised recently that the first teaser trailer will be out later this year.
Update: WB has since confirmed several international release dates.

Yeah I saw this on another site, but wasn't sure to believe if it was true or not. But if HPANA say it is, I'll believe it. I can't believe they've given us a release date so earely into production. Oh well, not complaining!

Good to hear and I'm happy about it, but what does this mean for book 7????
I was looking forward to travel to London in summer and now it is quite unlikely that the release date is near the release of the movie.:(
I still hope that they don't care about both releases at the same time, but i highly doubt it!

Yes, but maybe all of the hype about a new book will generate people to go check out the movies and refresh their Potter knowledge! =D

Oh my god! We've only just had Goblet of Fire and we already have a release date for Order! That will fly by, espescially with the stills and clips we get on the internet (Which I am trying to avoid this time around)

Holy must refrain from coarse language Batman! This announcement made me jump for joy! It would make my life even more spectacular and happy if the seventh book and the movie came out around the same time! Everyone'd be reading the book (again) while waiting in line for the movie. It'll be one big happy Harry Potter-loving party! I can see the day now! I'll be taking half the day off work, possibly the whole day if I can manage and waiting in line for hours, hopefully being the first in line. Then if not first in line, first to buy advanced tickets! SCORE!

Nice! I hope they get book 7 out on 7-7-07 though.. I would rather have the book then the film, because the books more important, but we get both :D so that's good!
