Nevermind. IMDB reports that the trio will be played by the same actors and Young Voldy is being played by Christian Coulson, the same guy from Chamber of Secrets. Anyways November is an early birthday gift to me. 18th Birthday in 2008 on November 23.

It's a bit soon to be announcing a release date for HBP when the OOTP hasn't even finished filming, isn't it. The date's good though.

Wow! That is so awesome! It seems a little early to be posting dates for Movie 6, but it's good to know. It sort of makes Movie 5 seem a bit nearer in the future.

This is awsome. Does this mean that they are going to do some filming for HBP at the same time they are filming OoTP?

They don't want to schedule them too close together, otherwise there could be a conflict with book 7. But hopefully not so far apart that we loose Dan and the gang!

Um, It's not bad, but I think they'll alter the date many times till 21s Nov, 2008...
I think we should concentrate now on OoTP.

Wow... that soon. It's strange because OotP is still so far away and it hasn't even been a year since GOF... But this is great! Yeah! I bet HBP will be one of the best movies. Wonder who will play Lav-lav?

Wow, how can they know the exact date for HBP if they haven't even finished OotP? It's a lot sooner than I expected... Oh, well, the sooner, the better!!!

OH my god... for a second there I thought that It said that OotP was going to be released in 2008... and I was all *OHMYGODCRISIS* but thank god that I read wrong... I think that It would make sense that next part of the story would come the year after because by then I think that all of the actors would be out of school and they wouldn't have to work as children... *horray* <333

It's not a big surprise as the date was already found on imdb. And if they keep on going like that we will have the following scheme:
PoA -- Summer 2004
GoF -- November 2005
OotP -- Summer 2007
HBP -- November 2008
??? -- Summer 2010

Too far away to worry about...and I don't see any problems that the trio may be too old. They are 20+ then and can play a 17 or 18 year old any time as it was done so many times before (e.g. Michael J. Fox)! If they want to they will do all the movies!

Didn't anyone notice the pattern yet. I figured it out in PoA. Ok, 1 came out in 2001, and 2 came out in 2002. And #3 came out in 2004,and #5 came out in 2005. Seeing a pattern here???

Aaah back to the winter release dates like when LOTR was still on :) Well i hope its out in 2008, only a year after OOTP, but i would have thought it would be a bit early to predict when it would be out cinsidering they havent even finished this one yet.
