Harry's in a hurry
Warner Bros. shaves two days off the wait for the fifth film in the Harry Potter series.

More good news, Harry Potter fans. Yes, it pales in comparison with the announcement that you're finally getting a theme park to bring all your wizarding fantasies to life (or to crush you deeply because there's no way it can live up to your expectations). And don't worry, we're not channeling our inner Malfoy and dangling spoilers about the final book in front of you. What we do have is this: The next movie in the series, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, will open two days earlier than expected. The film, based on the fifth book in J.K. Rowling's seven-part saga, was scheduled to be released July 13. But its studio, Warner Bros., announced Thursday that it is moving up the opening to July 11. It didn't give an explanation for the change. The world premiere is June 28 in Tokyo. The Associated Press contributed to this report.
