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 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...

Probably everyone here will be finished the book in five days. I'm really excited. Time is going to fly when the trailers and book information start to come out. And also the Simpsons movie is coming out July 27, 2006. That is going to be the best month of my life

It would be kinda of a cram between the 7th book and the 5th movie. But if all goes well I hope both of them come out in July.

Wooo a confirmed date! It's a little bit sad that means the book may be later than we expected, i mean that is more important afterall - plus not on the 07/07/07 which would have been cool, but i'm still really looking forward to the release of the film!

The first teaser trailer will be out later this year? Can't wait to see it. It's also good that the Order will be released 07/07/07, that's not to far away compared to it coming out in 2008. ^_^

Excellent!!!
I really want the movie to come out soon...but even more, I *need* Book 7! So I'm having two contrasting feelings here - complete joy and a slight damper on my movie enthusiasm. :P

I'm happy and sad at the same time... I was hoping to have the 7th book into my hands oln 7/7/7 but as we now know that the movie will be release on july 13, I don't think that we can hope for the book on that date... I guess this is right, she has to take her time to do the last one!
