According to The Leaky Cauldron's reliable sources, "the premiere of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban will be May 23 in New York and May 30 in London, both at to-be-announced-locations. Both will take place during daytime hours."
'HP Fan Trips' Premiere Tour to Include Ride on 'Hogwarts Express' Train Used in 'Harry Potter' Films
Participants on the first HP Fan Trips tour to Britain will ride on what "Harry Potter" fans worldwide recognize as the "Hogwarts Express" train from the films based on author JK Rowling's popular books.
The announcement was made after Beyond Boundaries Travel, the fan-created group's operating tour company, secured the deal this week with the West Coast Railway Company, the train's owner. The locomotive #5972 doubles as the celluloid version of the "Hogwarts Express" and is being put into service expressly at the request of HP Fan Trips while on exhibit in York for the National Railway Museum's "Rail 200" extravaganza, celebrating 200 years of railways. Trip-goers will have private carriages just like the ones used in the films, with access to a candy trolly and other goodies during the ride.

Whoa.
Besides current movies, The Internet Movie Database also lists future movies in or planned for production.
The IMDb has just added Michael Gambon, Alan Rickman and Maggie Smith to the IMDb full cast listing page for Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
As the IMDb accepts info from user submissions, details on future productions is never guaranteed, and sometimes the IMDb posts info and then later removes it after finding the information to be untrue. While there has been no formal announcement from Warner Bros. on the extension of the contracts of Michael Gambon, Alan Rickman and Maggie Smith to continue their parts in the fourth Harry Potter movie, this is still good news for Harry Potter fans.
Previously, only Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint had been listed in the cast list for Goblet of Fire, and then Robbie Coltrane was added recently after he stated in an interview that he'd been signed to continue as Hagrid in the Goblet of Fire movie.
