The fifth film in the franchise Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix is looking to steal the thunder from Transformers a lot sooner then anticipated.

Originally slated to come out on Friday, July 13, Warner Bros. Pictures has moved the film up two days for a Wednesday opening on July 11. Like Pirates 3 moving up for some advanced screenings on a Thursday, this gives Order Of The Phoenix the potential for a huge five-day opening weekend.

Transformers opens up on the 4th of July and looked to have at least a week and a half of uninterrupted reign atop the box office, but the young wizard will look to claim his title early.
