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.

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:

Good news. But I think that sort of confirms that we wont be seeing the 7th book in 2007. I guess we'll have to wait till 2008! I mean since its the last book they want to rake in the movie and the book majorly. Keeping them a year apart would ensure they earn each year.

That seems really soon compared to how far apart the other movies were...I guess if they want to keep most of the cast they will have to expedite the process...I couldn't bear to see them replaced!! I think I would have to protest...peacefully of course. :)

It would be just fine with me if the movie HP & the OotP and Book 7 came out in the same year, much less the same month and week! I'm not entirely sure that they'll really do that though! It would definitely be different from what they've done in the past!

If the last book is released just days before the movie it would be awful. There's only so much Harry Potter left to go around, and we need to spread it out. I can't imagine all of the books and movies being completed. As each new installment comes out we need time to really enjoy it. They shouldn't bombard us with everything at once!
