Finally a release date! Wow, I don’t think we’ve ever had to wait 2 years in between a Potter film, but I’m sure the extra time taken to make the final films will be worth it!

A 2 year wait is almost impossible.

One year, six months, 23 days…. can’t count today, or the release date, in the count down….

And only six months, 25 days until HBP….

Fantastic! But that is going to be a really impatient 2 year gap!

I’m glad there’s going to be a 2 year gap. I want it to go on for as long as possible. I’m going to cry so bad when the last film comes out. :[

From the length of time between the release dates, it’s clear WB isn’t treating it as a two-part film…they’re treating it as two separate movies.

I predict that sales of the Part One DVD will be the highest of any DVD in the series, because what will everyone want to do the day before they see Part Two at the theater? Watch the Part One DVD, of course!

I so need a counter for my iGoogle feeds page now. It’s great to have a date this early, thanks for reporting!

@budb-we have to wait 2 years and 6 months! not 1 year LOL. well I guess they’ll film both parts in these 2 years. and in the break between part 1 and 2 relase they’ll be probably still working on part 2. I can wait that long…but it better be good!

Great !!!! Finally a date !! IBut we must be patient ! HBP will help us to wait ! I want it to go on (and on and on ) as long as possible too !!!

And what are we supposed to be doing during 2009??

They should release them closer together. If I were in charge, I’d release them no more than eight months apart.

I await the sweet Widget for my Mac with a countdown. I’m guessing you guys will do the double widget like you had for the book and movie? Just a thought.

AWESOME! yays a date!

but its sooooooooo long away! im going to dieeee!

Time to do a countdown! :D

Hey Mogaine….well the Harry Potter theme park is supposed to open late 2009, but if that isnt your scene then hmmm oh yes-I personally recommend LEAKY CON in 09, which Im kinda thinking is going to be a very cool and fun thing..just saying… ;- ))))

I think this DOES actually indicate that they are treating it as a 2-part film, not two separate movies. The length of time between now and the release of Part 1 suggests that they are going to film both movies back-to-back, putting the finishing touches on Part 2 in the six months after Part 1 comes out. If they were really treating it as two separate movies, they’d do Part 1, release and promote it, then start Part 2. There’d be a lot more than a six-month gap between the two.

I definitely agree with Anna. The 6 month gap will be to put the finishing touches on Part 2 (possible reshoots, SFX, editing, scoring and sound) after principal photography wraps on both.

Sue, is that a bit of self-promotion there?!? Just teasing ; ) It sounds like they still be filming come the middle of 2010. Are they starting next February? I hope they won’t have too long between both films. I’m conflicted about the prospect of buying Part 1 on dvd, then seeing Part 2 at the cinema, and waiting 6 months for that to come out on dvd. I might just wait for both films to be out on dvd to buy it.

how about 2012!!!!

TWO YEARS?! TWO YEARS?!

Okay, I guess the theme park can keep me occupied.

But that is soooooooo long!
