Wow, very exciting! July is going to be a great month for all us HP fans, with the movie and the book released just weeks apart. I too was hoping for a release date of 7/7/07, but I guess this is better for marketing, becuase I think the excitement of the book much overshadows that of the movie, so it is best to release the mnovie before the book. Can;t wait for July!!!

Wow! How can I have missed? I was doing something else when this was announced. My God! I was so sure it wouldn't be until next year, when they announced that OotP will be on July 13. I can't believe DH is only coming out a few days later!
I. Do. Not. Believe. This. I'm about to explode!

I can't believe the publishers turned down the marketing opprotunity of 7/7/07.
