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.

Now that sounds awesome! Hopefully both dates can be confirmed, which would just be fantabulous.
So, on the 7th we all start reading HP7, and while the hype is still buzzing in the air, the OOTP movie will come out and that will just blow everyone away.. The world will be HP mad. Now, won't that be fun! Book and Movie parties!!!
I'm in Australia, so the movie will come out maybe a week or so after the US date, so that will give the people here a huge break between the two.
But as for the book, I really think it should come out on the 07/07/07 as that is a perfect date for it to be released. I'm sure it has some mythical and supernatural properties......
July 07 looks like it's going to be a brilliant month.
Better start working on the costumes for the opening night and the parties beforehand!!!!
YAY!!!!!

Hmmm, I'm trying to decide if I'm excited that the 5th movie will be out before the 7th book or not...I can't imagine that book seven will be released 07-07-07 if the movie comes out a week later....grrr...I'm already impatient for book 7.

Well that sucks, it would be better for the book to come out on 07/07/07 and that is only 6 days before the movie date so that probably means it won't happen. The book is more important than the movie!
