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 my gosh! I am so excited! I am definitely going to see it at midnight again. I did it with the Goblet of Fire and had a blast. I had to go to school the next day but it was totally worth it. I am so freaking excited!

Wait, so does this mean the the WB has officially CONFIRMED that the release date will be July 13? That's SO EXCITING!! Gaaaah I can't wait! Weee! So I guess that means the book will probably not be coming out on the 7th, but that's okay.

I guess this blows the 7/7/07/ theory of the release of HP7
Maybe WB will change the release date of the movie. Stranger things have happened!

Well I really hope that its is gonna be O7/O7/O7 for the book to release, imagine the euphoria, i think that the film producers would be happy with it, isnce nearly all the people would have finished reading it in a week, I will finish it in less than a day, but then thats a different story.
