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.

I'm not sure about the 07-07-07 thing but I am happy to hear the release date. Although I'm sad to know its so far away. Maybe they'll both be out at the same time... what fun!

That date doesn't bode well for a July release of the seventh book, but I am looking forward to seeing this movie. I hope they keep in the fight scene with Harry, Fred and Draco.

so cool i cant wait for he film but im looking forward to book 7 more. we all (those who read the books) know what happens in the order of the phoenix so y dont we look forwrd to the book. Anyway, the goblet of fire has just been released on dvd. Why is the order of the pheonix such a big deal especially that its so far away.

I can't wait to see it! The only thing is that they messed up with the 3rd one, because now they are almost 2 years older than their characters. Rupert will almost be 19 next year!

Even though I can't wait for HP movie 5, I still think it's a bad idea to release it so close to the release of the last HP book. I think that doing so will hurt the sales of the last book, and it should set records!

July 13 2007 is too long a time! Why does it have to be in 2007; however, it's still great that it comes out in the summer of 2007! School won't be in the way and I could watch it on a weekday! Wooohoo!

I love the books loads more than the films because they miss so much out in the films because thebooks are so long. i think they should have done movie 3 in more detail about the mourouders map and 4 in two halfs so that those who haddent read the book would know what was happening. but of course that would mean the actors would be much older than the charecters. i hope movie 5 is more detailed like the fantastic book and i cant wait for book 7!!!!! its killing me waiting- but hopefully next yeaar. *sighs*

I just hate that it'll be another year until we get the book! All I can say is that the film had better not take that long.
