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.

Yay! Wait... Did they mean it would be in theaters global on 13-07-07? Or did they mean "in the big countries and you small European countries have to wait some time, just as with the DVD?"
Anyway, YAY!
But what about Book 7? And the hoped release date 07-07-07? They can't change that! That would spoil my birthday!

i cant wait its going to be so good. I just hope it has more detail in than the last two. I thought that they missed out some interesting info about the marouders map in the 3 film and in my opinion the 4th was a bit rushed and was hard to follow. My family didnt understand what was going on, but thankfully for me i had read the book like a million limes. :)
Also im so glad that rupert, dan and emma are staying in this film. Although, i di read that they will be too old to do the 6th film. I hope they stay. Dose anyone know who some of the knew actors will be for example umbrige, hagrids half brother, and other members of the order.

That's amazing! How can they finalize a date so early? I mean, things happen, you know? I really hope they don't change it. That would be torture. I'll keep my eyes out for the trailer!

Very exciting news! Is this around the same time as when book 7 comes out? It's a shame we have to wait a while but i know it will be worth it as the 6th film, the half blood prince will be coming out a year afterwards.

God! Confirmed already! It seems so early! Oh well! Not complaining! I still would prefer to find out when the 7th is being released...or...you know...just have the seventh book but the film will do nicely! Hehe!
I can't wait to see this one!

I can't believe that all of this Potter news is happening at once, JK Rowling finally re-opened the door on her website and now we know when OotP will be in cinemas. It's an early birthday treat for me. (My birthday is on Sunday)

Yay we now have an official date for OotP movie!
Though it just makes me wonder when will book 7 now be released? Surely not in 2008?! Well, I'll keep my fingers crossed for summer 2007.

I'm glad we know when it's coming out so we won't have to guess and die of anticipation, but July 13, 2007 is so far away! I don't know if I'll be able to make it. I guess that means the 5th movie and the 7th book are coming out around the same time...
