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.

July next year should be an excellent month. And just enough time to read book 7 twice before going to the opening night of the movie. Aaaaaahh, if only it was 2006 instead of 2007.

That is too long to wait for the movie to come out.
But it always takes a while for great things to happen.
Patience is a virtue.

Wow! I cant wait for the movie and the book to be released. How bad ass would it be if the book was released 7-7-07 and the movie is being released 7-13-07. I dont think the world is ready for such a Harry Potter explosion.

Cool!! I cant wait. Order of the Phoenix is my favourite book so far :)
Let's just hope they dont slaughter the plot and or subplots this time.... and that they stick to the book, unlike what they did with the GoF movie. But that's my opinion, I dont know about the rest of you

I'm happy that the movie has a set release date, but now we know for sure that HP 7 won't be coming out in July 2007. The movie and the book have so much publicity separately that they wouldn't ever release them in the same month. Looks like we'll be waiting longer for book 7...

I can't believe we already have a date for the next movie! Now we have another date to look forward to. Ever since HBP was released and GoF came out in theatres, we haven't had any dates to look forward to(well, okay, we did have the GoF DVD to look forward to).

Wow how many avatars do you think have been made so far? I wager a few. This is goning to be tricky because the books ultimate marketing campaign has basically gone out the window. Shame but looks like we're going to have to wiat till late 2007 or even 2008 for book 7 :( Cal

Oh man! So excited. The only thing that has been keeping me going these last 10 years are the releases of Harry Potter books/movies. What am I going to do when it's all gone? :tear:
