Courtney

NOTE TO MODS: I checked for a topic spacificly on this release date and did not find one..so I started one..shut me down if you need to..!!

I pinned it up so people can see where to discuss this announcement.

this is sosososo GREAT!

only...463 days to go!! yay!

but the only thing is, thats the day it will come out in like, america and uk and all of the contries who get it first GoF came out 13 days later in australia so maybe that means 476 days for the rest of the world!!!! someone should SO start a countdown thing like what was done for GoF!!!!

i am sososososososo exited!!!!!!!!

wow
but IF book 7 comes out on 07/07/07 then it will be like HP week
Isit jsut me or were all the other films released in November?

Nah, one of the other ones was released in June I do believe. I don't recall which though.

I'm really excited now!! I can't wait! Of course that's kind of sad because now it is way far away from Academy Award time and stuff and it is less likey to get any nods if it is good. Maybe if it is really good, it will get a nod anyway. Eh, one can only hope.

All I know is that I'll be going nuts in that little space of time. Talk about short circuiting! I get all excited at the mere thougth of it - I can't wait for the hype to reach fever pitch, because that is definitely what will happen. It's so historic, it feels like were witnessing a huge event. We'll be telling our kids about this like we get told about the moon landing. Ok, a slight exaggeration, but you get my drift?

I know that there hasn't been an official BOOK release date yet, however I'm thinking it's unlikely that they'll let the craze of the series be spread over a week like that.

I'm really glad that they are giving everyone a date already and that it is only about 18 months between the movies. I thought they might have tried to hold it off until the end of 2007, which would have kinda stank....

However I'm thinking that a July date for the Book 7 release is now a little less likely.

hmmm...I think that was around when I was anticipating the movie to be released considering they began fimling in February this year...

I am just a bit disappointed because I will not be home. As a matter of fact, I won't be home until a few weeks after the release! I will not fear, though, as I am sure it will be around in theaters for at least another month after its release. Especially here where I live...some schools had field trips to see the COS movie (I believe it was COS...maybe SS/PS ). Haha...I remember walking into the theater seeing some kids and even a teacher dressed up as Harry Potter! What a sight that was

I am going to have to agree with Pixy, though. Now it seems that Book 7 won't be released in July of 2007. That was when we were hoping it would come out...on 07/07/07, but I suppose our guess has been wrong....

I really hope they don't release Book Seven in summer 2007 -- that would be way too many big HP events concentrated in such a short period of time. We need some time to discuss and digest the movie before we launch straight into a new book... THE climax of the entire series! Plus, I hate to think of what would happen to the poor mods if there were so many HP happenings within a few short weeks, what with the spike in registration and all. I was worried that we were going to go under during the HBP craze -- the end is going to be absolutely insane! I'm hoping for a Book Seven release in summer 2008. My sister will just have graduated high school and we could go almost anywhere in the country to find the biggest release party. I'm happy with the OotP release date, though, and I told all my friends to mark their calendars because we are SO going to a midnight opening.

These are going to be the longest months of my life. It´s great to know when OotP is going out, but at the same time have a date make me really anxious.
In fact my agony is terrible, because in latin america the majority of the movies are released almost one month later (with the exception of PoA of course, the advantages having a latin american director!). And worse... I can´t have HP 7 for reading meanwhile! Life is so unfair... hahaha. I guess, I have to distract myself enjoying re-reading.

I already decided thanks to the combine emotions this new produces whitin me I will definitively have to be in London for the premiere of HBP (I know it´s really early talk about it ). I have started saving so that my parents do not kill me for the expenses.

Wow,I am excited.But i wish it would come out sooner.Because i need to read the book again and id rather watch the movie anyday.

A countdown is definitely needed. And eagerly awaited.

I highly doubt that JK will change her book plans because of a movie release date. Taking from everything I have seen her comment on, the two are totally separate projects (probably something like hers and theirs). I think if she wants to keep significance on 7-7-07, I can not imagine Friday the 13th for a movie release changing her path. She might see it as a bit of fun?

Someone said that July was a bad month because of the Academy Awards. I hope it doesn’t make the Awards list, truly, look at what has won in the past, total crap. They don’t know what they are talking about at the Oscar’s. It is all about who has the most campaigning money just like an election. I am more impressed with a Nickelodeon Award, personally, because basically it is suppose to be kids voting on that one. Who better to be honest about liking a movie or not liking a movie than a kid?

Im as said eariler..MADD EXCITED!!!!! I just thought of somthing though..I wil be able to drive to that movie!! Lol i can get my licence in..April of 2007! Yaaa thats going to be a good year for me lol!!
Cant wait..We REALLY REALLY need a countdown!!
Courtney

I AM CRAZILY EXCITED!!! So bad that it's 461 days away though....

Whoo That is so exciting! I cannot wait the fifth movie will be SOO good! WHoo! I will set my calender on my computer now and have it remind me everyday I will def. be making the midnight premiere this time XDD yayness

Great! I want to go to the premiere this time. Some people have said this isn't a good time for WB to release OOTP, because people were hoping that book seven would be released on 7/7/07. If Jk Rowling wanted to release book seven then, she wouldn't be able to because it would be a week before OOTP is coming out, and it might ruin publicity. But has any of you noticed that it is on Friday the 13th, which is meant to be a very unlucky day.

I am really excited. I want to go to the premiere of OotP. But I would have to go to the one in New York. It would only be a 13 hour drive. Anyway, I am going to a midnight showing. My friends and I are all going to go. It will be weird a bunch of college students in their 20's walking into a theatre to watch Harry Potter. But, we will have a lot of fun. I am sooooo excited.

YAYAYAY that is a long time a waya- well actually less than a year and a half, so then we have platny of time, i mean Veritaserum already has a few picture from the set. By they way, where did you find the relaes date?

Hey Fred-is-mine!
W.B released the date..a little while ago..the day I made the post infact...it was on the home page and I decided to start a topic on it..seeeing as in it is cool and important lol..well im my life anyways!
Courtney

I am extremely exited but how come it's going to be realeased in France first? Two days before evrywhere else? unless I read it wrong. I'll go and check it now.
It's going to be a crazily HP filled week if HP 7 comes out on the 07/07/07 like we're hoping.
I am hoping to go to the premire to, but how hard will it be to get tickets? Allthough saying that, a good friend of mine got tickets for PS premiere and another friend got them for CoS so it can't be that bad. I can hope!

in italy is coming out in november!!!!!!!!!
lucky you
[Mod Edit] Hi, please elaborate in future posts, thanks.

Yipee! Midnight premier, here I come!
[Mod Edit] Hi, please elaborate beyond a single line of text, thanks.

Ok I have a question that needs to be answered and noone seems to know the answer. I know that warner bros released date is July 13th 2007 but i've been reading on several movie websites that WBs has moved up the date to June 07 many of the non harry sites are advertising this. I read this after we got the official release date so..... anybody heard anything? I dont want to stir up trouble but seeing it on several sites got me wondering, those sites havent updated or what?? If you have any info please let me know

That would be so exciting! But two good things wont happen in the same week. There'll be a MAD rush for the book and everyone will go INSANE for the film. I hope that does happen though me and my friends will probably go mental! And about the film release date being friday the 13th....maybe it wont be unlucky!

yah!!! I cant wait.

[Mod Edit] Please see Corijps post below, thanks.

awe man... I thought you were talking about the book!

Yeah, WB released that date a little while ago... but I'm still happy about it!

I hope the book comes out 7/7/2007... cause I heard a rumor it might not be finished until November... and that would really upset me

So Far Away!!!!!!!!!! I think that it being far away will give them time to make the movie more elaborate and more fun to watch but I am sure that it will not be as fun as the books! Oh well it will be cool to see all of our favourite characters up on a screen once again before us!

Hey there, Cute_MudBlood06 and Harry_Potter's_friend!

I would first like to welcome you both to the forums! I do, however, need to also ask each of you to please elaborate more in your posts. VTM does not allow one-liners as they hinder discussion. If you guys could check out the rules when you get a chance, it would be greatly appreciated.

If you lot have any questions, please feel free to PM (private mail) me or any other prefect or mod.

Happy Posting!
~Cori

P.S. Thank you Harry_Potter's_friend for editing your post. Well done!

Ok everyone so i still haven't heard any answers about the release dates. Has anyone heard anything about the conflicting dates that are floating around the great big web?? some sites post that WB has pushed up the original date to June 13, 2007 and some are sticking to the orginal release date if you have any info please let me know thanks

I am pretty sure that the date for Order of the Phoenix is still July 13, 2007. I haven't heard that it has been changed. I think it is the book that might be coming out July 7, 2007. That would be so cool!! A book and a movie within a week!! I might just explode with excitement!!

hummm that would be quite good some people could end up taking and finishing there harry potter 7 books in the cinema .....i wouldnt though i not an amazingly fast reader....
13 months to wait now grrrrrrrr so long i soooo cant wait like to see the fred and goerge end of school there way about it.....(sorry im in a dumb english group so im poor at english)

Do you really think that JK is going prolong releasing her final book because she cares about the publicity of the movie?
Like she isnt rich enough already?

Maybe just because she doesn't want anyone to "overdose" on Harry Potter ... or maybe just because she wants Book 7 to be a perfect conclusion. To publish in July, the manuscript has to be ready for the publisher in January, and that doesn't leave her much time for editing, does it?

She can take as long as she likes, and as long as she needs. She wants to finish the series. Once it's all published the work is "fixed", she would want to do it properly. These months must be a very exciting time for her, knowing that she is running the last stretch of her fabulous race.

i do agree bumblebee. ..
I dont think JK wouldnt set herself a fixed date to finish or rush to any conclusion.
I just dont think she would let the date of the movie being released effect her release date of the book.
I know how exciting would it be writing the book!! omg it would be amazing. i cannot wait for it.
oh and i wouldnt care if i died of a harry potter overdose.

I heard it was suppose to come out in November, but that was a long time ago. I really wish it would be released then, because I just can't wait that long to see the next movie!! But i'm sure I can wait until July of 2007 to see it. Hmm.. looks like i'll have to read the seventh book + see the fifth movie! Yay!

haha bec_c3 you're so right ANYWAY... im so excited and now i know its definently coming out on July 13th wching is good because1. its in less than a year and 2. its the day after my birthday lucky me!!!!

I cannot wait! Seriously, I think that when June comes next year, I'll be like the spazziest person in the world, my parents can hardly live with my obsession now. Its so weird, because I never was like AHH OMG I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT BOOK/MOVIE TO COME OUT! and now I'm going to every length possible to find out what I can about Book 7 and the OotP movie. I'm uber excited for both. I do hope JK Rowling doesn't postpone Book 7 because of the movie, though :[

7/7/07 would be the perfect date for release of book 7--JKR has reiterated the "7 is a very magical number" theme a number of times. But I agree with Bumblebee, she should take all the time she needs to finish. I wouldn't want her to rush to complete it, and have her writing suffer due to the pressure. I'll wait (although impatiently) as long as it takes...

7/7/7 will be a perfect release date. 7 for the number of horcruxes and 7 for the 7th book. but i don't want JKR to be rushed. i want book 7 to be perfect....

does anyone know about OoTP release in Greece???i hope that it will be released in Summer...i can't wait!!!!!!

I knew it would come out in july 2007 i can`t wait now it will be excellent im going to see it the first day its out when the gof came out i wasnt allowed to go see it i didn`t have any money and i had already went to see another film a week before so it was unfair and i had to wait untill my uncle put on disk for me yey.

It's a reakky exciting story andI am really making a countdown for the film.I Harry Potter.

How wicked is that you got the real date ! I mean we have to wait a long time sort of
but thats ok even though I also know the date here in the USA will be a bit longer oh well.
Ill just keep waiting till the time comes

ok it is now september and in the u.s. i haven't heard anything about the 5th movie coming out yet. is it out in other countries already? i expected it to be around oct/nov again.

If it is carefully observed,all the Harry Potter movies till now have been released sometime during summer and there is no sufficient explaination as to why it should not be released around the same time in 2007 too.I think it may be released in May. Anytime later and it will make fans grumpy!

Sorry, Divaforever, but the movie release dates are set. July 13th in the USA
(Friday the 13th no less!!!) I'm with lil_mama, I want it now!
Unfortunately, they are still shooting, and will finish up in October. Then they need to finish special effects and edit... and of course, as soon as they start releasing clips, and we start pointing out errors, they need to fix stuff

Evanescence here are the other country release dates:
Country.......Release date
France........July 11, 2007
Belgium.......July 11, 2007
Argentina....July 12, 2007
Germany.....July 12, 2007
Netherlands.July 12, 2007
Australia.....July 12, 2007
Denmark.....July 13, 2007
USA...........July 13, 2007
UK.............July 13, 2007
Hungary.....July 19, 2007
Spain.........July 20, 2007
Bulgaria......July 20, 2007

Sorry I couldn't find Greece, but it should be within that week... they are all within a week or so of eachother.

I REALLY think that the last book will be released on 07/07/07. How perfect that is, and JKR has said that she's doing well, so she probably won't be hurrying for the date. Remember... she's had the whole thing planned since the beginning, it's only the details that she needs to figure out.

When PoA abd GoF came out in the UK, they had a special previews the week before the actual release dates.

I was lucky enough to get to see both of these films in that time. Hopefully I'll be able to see OotP a week before general release as well, straight afer the London premiere.

I have to wait that long!? Well at least thats not too long. I mean... Hey wait a second! Almost all the others have come out around my birthday!!! Why not this one huh? Well? *pout* Well at least it's coming out! Until then I'll just have to wait. I hate waiting!!!

The latest news that I've heard is that Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix comes in theaters July 13, 2007. Well that's for the US. I also heard that HP 7 will be released in book stores the week before that. Wow this should be interesting.

Actually if you go back about 4 posts you see that 'samsmom' has posted a long list of the confirmed release dates for the movie.A lucky few countries will be getting it a whole 2 days before us here in the UK or in the USA.

Ooh woopie! A woping 2 days between book and film. It will still be a Harry Potter Week. Were talking long lines. I remember lines out about at least 50 feet to get into Goblet of Fire.
