Wwait a minute, this movie didn't even come out in theatres yet did it? Or have I been in a closet for the past year.

No this movie hasn't been out yet.. comes out July 13th 2007.. an entire year.

I saw the last two movies in digital IMAX and they were amazing.

O, 2007, I thought that said 2006, now I get it. Thanks for that Kenny. I was also wondering, is there supposed to be another book, or will the cliffhanger suffice?

Yes the Seventh and last book will be out sometime next year.. we hope.

After Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix(book5) there is Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (book6) then Harry Potter and **** **** **** (book7)

So we have three more movies to look forward too.

Potter V Gets 3-D Finale

IMAX Corp. and Warner Brothers announced that the final 20 minutes of the upcoming Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix will be digitally converted into 3-D in the version of the movie released in IMAX theaters on July 13. The fifth film in the franchise, based on J.K. Rowling's books, will also be released in conventional theaters on that date.

IMAX said that it will use its proprietary 2-D-to-3-D conversion technology to transform the end of the film into IMAX 3-D.

The previous installment of the series, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, broke IMAX 2-D box-office records when it opened in November 2005, the company said.
