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.

Wow already confirmed. Nice! I will have to see it at midnight since it is my 3 yr old sons 3rd birthday the next day. That will be a long day. But well worth it.

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

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.

Well 7/13/7 sounds good to me! I am so excited to see this next movie. I just hope this doesn't delay Book 7 coming out. I know they (the corporations) will wanty to make the most of merchandising so releasing the 2 at the same time likely won't happen.
