Awsome :D Wow...I can't wait for that either. The cast and producers and others are doing a pretty hard work on theses films and are trying to entertain more audience I suppose. Wow, now I'm really excited :D

2008, that's awesome. We don't have to wait, like 2 more years after OOTP. That's pretty cool. Can't wait.

That's only one year after Film 5. Excellent!
I hope Film 7 will be out in 2009.

That seems really far away! Seeing as HBP was an amazing book, I really can't wait until the movie comes out. Filming DD death will be really sad.

That's much sooner than I thought it would be. I hope it will still be of the same quality as the other movies.

November 21st, 2008? Thats exactly 5 months after I graduate High School!! I don't think this is true, someone probaby just make this random date up and just posted it online, and thousands of sites got a hold of it and thought it was true. Lets take this with a grain of salt, what ever that means.

I'm amazed that they can have a release date for the sixth movie when they haven't even finished fimling the Order of the Phoenix yet. But this is a good sign.
If they do they sixth movie, they couldn't possibly not do the seventh.
So yay!

I am glad to hear there is some kind of date to the release of the Half Blood Prince. I wonder if they plan to keep filming the next three movies consecutively since the age of the characters will become an issue. I am excited to see the upcoming films.

That's cool. Warner Bros. is now making it easier with the continuous release dates. It's sorta like Lord of the Rings-- with the every year another movie of the series comes out.
I hope that is the release date for sure. I can't wait to see OOTP and HBP in theaters!

Man thats such a long time away. I dont like hearing stuff like this just cause it makes me want it to come out so much more. It seems like too much time in between the movies even though it goes by fast. Im gonna be so depressed after the last movie comes out because it will be like the end of an amazing era. :(

Whoa that was unexpected!(Don't you just love when you're surprised with something pleasant?) Hopefully, we'll all be happily (or unhappily) digesting the last book by then... *tear*
