Wow I didn't even know they could guess it before filming! I can't wait! Book 6 is my favorite so far- go Harry/Ginny!


Posted by Carol61 Aug 4th 2006

That's wonderful news!!!! I love having dates to look forward to (but it scared me at first because my brain was still thinking OoTP's date since we don't usually get a confirmed date before filming has even begun).


Posted by not_a_muggle Aug 4th 2006

AHHH SIIKKEEDD!! even though thats in like, FOREVER.. ITS STILL RAD!!!!!!!!!!!!! SOO EXCITED!! i hope the original cast is still in it!=) top ten boiii


Posted by tgtgcgirl Aug 4th 2006

what the...WHAT??? There's so much that could happen between now and then-why give us the date now? they're just setting a deadline for themselves, but it's way too early. Let's just take this one movie at a time


Posted by ronandhermioneshipper Aug 4th 2006

Top 15?


Posted by ANonnyMouse Aug 4th 2006

internet movie database (imdb.com) says the trio is back, and the same guy who played voldy/tom in chamber of secrets is rumored to return as well...


Posted by michael_xxx10 Aug 4th 2006

dan radcliffe will be hitting 19/20 will he still be there? same for the other actors, that would be a shame.


Posted by Sariza Aug 4th 2006

OMGosh, this is so cool! But it's kinda weird that they have a release date so early... I didn't expect them to have one already!


Posted by randomchat Aug 4th 2006

Pretty early, eh ? To determine it. It's only two years from now!


Posted by polkadots56 Aug 4th 2006

Posted by arabesque Aug 4th 2006

Wow, it's SO early to be releasing this date! OoTP isn't even done yet & they've already planned such a confident date for HBP? Wow.......


Posted by mugglecastrocks Aug 4th 2006

Posted by Matrinka Aug 4th 2006

For a second, my heart dropped -- I thought that was the date for the 5th movie. Duh. But yay - not much more than a year between releases!


Posted by Illusions Aug 4th 2006

Posted by mroberts731 Aug 4th 2006

Posted by Jessically Aug 4th 2006

Wow, Ill be in college by then, freaky, the 7th book will be out in paperback(maybe), and the movie series will almost be over, i wonder if that means the 7th movie will be out by Jan of 2010, then it will really all be over, wow, 3 1/2 years and there will be nothing left

I can't belive that I waill be 18 then, i'm only 15 now! Will I still like Harry Potter then? Will I still be visiting Mugglenet everyday? Or will I have gotten a life.... JJ. Katie

Posted by sugarquill Aug 4th 2006

aaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!! i don't know why i'm screaming!!! k i'll stop. they sure do plan ahead.... i definitely wasn't expecting this.... :)


Posted by Manon Aug 4th 2006

How sooner the film gets its release the better. This way they can't use new actors to replace Dan, Rupert and Emma. A pity that Europe always have to wait a few months after the USA and Canada for the film to be released. The same is with the new book. Everybody in America will know everything because the books are released in English months before it will get it's release in Europe.


Posted by xoxDreamerGirlxox Aug 4th 2006

Wow, they don't even have a director, and they don't even know whether they'll have Dan, Emma, and Rupert play the trio, but they already have a release date? Cool. And it's three days after GOF was released last year (and five days after SS/PS and six days after COS). =O Eeeek, so exciting. Although, I'm still anticipating the release of OOTP, and more importantly, book 7.


Posted by Sandy Aug 4th 2006

I totally can't wait!!!!!!!! But its kind of weird that HBP already has a confirmed date but Book 7 doesn't, and Book 7s surely coming alot sooner than the HBP movie??? Well can't wait for the Book 7's release date!!!


Posted by gympiggy004 Aug 4th 2006

NNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! Too long!!!! I hope everyone stays in the cast...they already ruined the movies by choosing that guy as the new Dumbledore. Way too perky.


Posted by ValGal292 Aug 4th 2006

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but at the same time.... YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-)


Posted by The_Oddball Aug 4th 2006

YES!!! OotP and HBP and Book 7!!!! Wow so much to look forward too. I am so pysched!!! Man, I wish I had a time turner. lol I can't wait!! WOOO!!!!


Posted by pinkminnie29 Aug 4th 2006

yay!! =] this is awsome. and i hope they keep the same cast too. and what do you mean new dumbledor? the one theyv4e had since the 3rd movie?


Posted by Prefiera_de_Gryfalco Aug 4th 2006

This is suspiciously looking like last summer with the book release in the summer and the movie in the fall. ACK! I can't wait another TWO years for the book!! Say it ain't so, Jo!!
