No, the full release statement is "many of the Harry Potter films timed to the release of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix in theatres."

and the last two words: "in July."

Funny thing, it's still not an official announcement. This is leaked by another source, VideoBusiness.com, who says:

Also, many of Warner’s Harry Potter films will be released on high-def timed to the home entertainment bow of July theatrical Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.

My fingers are crossed that Warner continues to print their flippy HD-DVD/DVD discs so the other 99% of us can watch these.

I hate those HD-DVD/DVD combo things. I do not unserstand why people that do not want to invest in HD-DVD at the current time would invest in a $40 disc that they can only access half of. If you are willing to pay double the price for a combo disc repeatedly you might as well buy an HD-DVD player. Plus, if there are any new extras (which I highly doubt, because WB is probably saving stuff for a huge 7 movie boxset after the films are released ) the only new extras would be HD extras on the HD-DVD side so there want be anything new for the DVD people anyways. I already have the DVD version I do not want it again. Those combo discs cost me $40 instead of $25. If you already have the DVD version why would you it again. And if you are wanting to have the option of HD-DVD down the road why not go ahead and get an HD-DVD player. The HD-A2 is selling on Amazon for $250, and it is a very good player. The shipping is also free.

P.S. I heard the Extended Editions would not be until after the final 7th movie is out.
