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 surprised the date is already out but still it's good to hear that it's coming out sooner than expected. I wonder if the trio ever gets a big break from these movies.

A release date for 7-7-07 at 7:07 would have been cool.
So does this mean that since the movie is coming out in July next year that the book will be out in November '07?
(half-blood in july last year, movie was out in nov.)
Just in time for all parents to buy the seven pack set for Christmas..........not a bad marketing strategy.

That is so wicked. I can't wait...July 13!! Even thought its more than a year away I can't wait becuase it will totally be worth that long wait. July is a cool month. It would have been so much better if it came out on HArry's brithday. But I guess thats still a good day. It give people can reason to go inside on a hott summer day.

Cool that they've finally confirmed, however I seriously doubt that the 7th book will be released on the 07/07/07, due to the fact that that will be the 1st aniversairy of the London Bombing, but it's up to them!

Woo-hoo! I am sooo happy that a date has finally come out about the release of the next movie. Although Goblet of Fire wasn't as good as I had hoped it would be, I am hoping that this movie will be great! But it's a shame that it won't be out on 7/7/07. I think it would be great if both the movie and the book came out on the same day! But of course, that'll never happen although I wouldn't mind if it came out close.
