Confirmed: Change to US "Order of the Phoenix" Release Date, Now July 11
OotP FilmMay 29, 2007, 06:01 PM
Update: Now confirmed to TLC by Warner Brothers:
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix will open in the US on July 11, 2007
No reason was given to us for the change, however as Coming Soon first reported, "this will give the movie a potential big five-day opening, from Wednesday through Sunday." Readers will remember that in the UK, the OotP release date was moved one day earlier to July 12.
Thanks to everyone who has mailed!
Because of the seven years at Hogwarts everyone assumes that there will only be seven books. However in the sixth book Harry says that he will no longer be attending Hogwarts and will instead be focusing on killing Voldemort. The seven years at Hogwarts are no longer relevant to his situation. Could there be an eighth book?
"However in the sixth book Harry says that he will no longer be attending Hogwarts and will instead be focusing on killing Voldemort."
Just because Harry says he won't be back for his last year doesn't mean he won't return to Hogwarts at some point in DH. I mean, the books don't have "Year [insert number]" printed on the spines for nothing (for us in the U.S. at least).
UGH!!!! ia m mad to tell u the truth, because it should be released everywhere on the same day and everyone watches the opening movies on friday....hopefully it will stay july 13 in canada cuz its my b-day and i was planning to see it and stuff, and if it changes here i waill be so mad!!!! i still think changing it is weird, becuz all HP films where on friday and should keep it that way!!!
Does this include Canada??
Could someone email me and let me knoww?
Because I live in Ontario, which is close enough to the states!
lol
Never mind, I just read what was written below me..
My bad.
lol
Why would they do that? It makes no sense.
...and now all the countdowns and widgets need to be altered.. lol!
Lovely, now I have to go in and change my request off day at work. Funnily enough I requested the 13th TODAY. Then I came home and realized that it changed on me! I can't really complain because it is 2 days earlier, but it just seems so random! I wonder if there are some superstitious people at WB who thought Friday the 13th would be bad luck or something. Totally random. Wow.
I don't suppose they're suspitious and don't want to release on Friday 13th? :)
Well, the earlier the better in my opinion! :-) I know I will be there Tuesday night, July 10th at midnight for the release of that awesome movie that will be OotP!
Oh this pisses me off...I TOOK THE DAY OFF TO GO SEE IT!!!!!! LOL
does this mean the same thing for Canada?
But Australia was going to get it first (on July 12 due to time zones) but now we won't! :( oh well...at least im on school holidays then when most schools aren't so me and my frind can go to imax on the day it comes out...
