AboutQueenAries Expertise I can answer any question at all on the Harry Potter series by JK Rowling. I can only answer questions on the books, not the author, movie or any financial proceedings/takeovers instigated by Warner Bros.
Experience I used to work in a library, now work in a book shop, and have read the Harry Potter series cover to cover countless times.

Answer Tim,
Warner Bros. have held the rights to the films ever since the first one - it is they who have been making the films all along, so I shouldn't think this one will be too different to the others. The only thing that really changes is the directors: Chris Columbus did the first two, hence the slightly childish aspect; Alfonso Curan did PoA, which was much better, rich in depth and scenics; Mike Newell, for GoF, is an accredited childrens' and horror director. OotP and HBP are being directed by David Yates, so it will be interesting to see how different the next two will be.
As for release dates, I've only got the northern hemisphere at the moment. The earliest it'll come out is 11th July 2007, sorry.
Hope that helped!
