Oh yes, that works pretty good, so the actors won't be too old and all when the last two come out. I hope it does, being as we already know what happens, seeing it in the movies is now a big thought on my mind. OotP as well of course, my favorite Harry Potter book.

I'm really suprised to hear a release dat for HBP this early. I was expecting more news about the 7th book. I guess the next few years are going to be busy for us Potterheads. Movie book movie, sounds good to me but what on Earth are we going to do when it is all over?

I believed that I was contacted that "rumors" would not be posted here at HPANA. How curious that this one would be.

Wow, WB is really preparing for the release of the other movies even though the fifth one is not even finished or out yet. They must be really confident that it'll be done by then.

That's amazing they already have the date set for HBP, when they haven't even got close to finishing the 5th movie.

Well, aren't we getting a little ahead of ourselves right now? Heh, if that really is the correct date, it's kinda odd that we got it so fast, before we even get a clip from OotP? We just (practically) got the release date for OotP and we're getting this already? Hmm, I'll wait for Warner Bros. to say something first.
