Actually a bit sooner than I expected! But sooner is always better with Harry. I can't wait to see what they will do with HBP.

Well, I hope this is true because that would mean that we have an HP movie two years in a row, and would mean the wait for movie 7 would be shorter, and we might be able to keep the trio in for all movies =D

Oh my god... that's so cool! 2008... it's two years! My dream is to see all the actors doing all the movies and I think it would be possible (with Emma Watson she's gonna be 18 in 2008... and Hermione is having 17 in the begining of HBP).

I hope the last will follow it very quickly as the "kids" are maturing very quickly.

Wow, I'm surprised we got a release date this early!!! Because of that I guess I wouldn't be surprised if it got changed sometime before then. That would be great; my birthday's a couple weeks before that date so I could ask for passes to movie theaters for my birthday!!! Awesome, I'll probably see it so much that I'd need passes so I wouldn't go broke!!!

That's pretty fast. Can't help but hoping that they're right, but I have my doubts and am not getting my hopes up.

I does seem like a good time. I would rather have the 2008 summer release or a Christmas release but November seems cool.

Yay, just in time for my birthday! I'll be 18 too! It's good to see that they're keeping the 1 1/2 year filming schedule. That means the last movie should be coming out about May or June of 2010.

Wow, #6 already has a release date! If that is true, I would think a director should be named soon since they do so much pre-production.

That would be awesome, cause it would give Jo a time limit with the last book. That would also be great because it'd be alot of HP in two years- two movies and the last book!!

That's amazing! Assuming that the date for OotP is still set for 7/13/07, this is fantastic! We'll only have to wait a year and a half for it! That's not bad at all! :D Looking forward to both movies!

*Sixth Book Spoiler WARNING*
I can't believe that the HBP is coming out in two years! It seems like such a long time to wait. I think that it will be hard to watch the greatest wizard of all time's death!

Wow...That seems pretty early. It's good that we'll have two Potter movies in a roll...That way the actors won't be too old for their roles. But do we even have a date for the Order of the Phoenix?
