Too many people enjoy coming up with witty and clever number  games and then
spout them out as fact (no, I'm not pointing any fingers  or
passive-aggressivelpassive-aggressiv

So, 21 is divisible by  3. I don't get the significance if the date if
7/21/07. Sure, it's the 7th  book. Wouldn't it be lovely to have had a 7/7/7
release date... and that's  probably something far too trite for JKR.

Call them guesses or theories, it doesn't really matter .   What counts is 
that the book is coming out.  Usually you will get the  correct answer if you 
follow the money trail.  I doubt that the sales of  book seven will be affected 
by it coming out a week after the release of movie  5.  The opposite is not 
true.  Depending on events that occur in book  seven many people could 
potentially be turned off and not have an interest in  seeing any more of the movies.
 
Just a guess, but that is all most of the comments on this site are.  
Financially, it makes sense to let the movie come out first although I  would have 
expected a longer gap between the two.  The movie will help sell  the book, the 
book might have unsold the movie.
