They know that the same number of people will probably see Harry Potter regardless of the release date, as it's proved successful in both November and July. The problem is in investors. What would happen if Warner Brothers had released a sure fire hit at the end of the year that it released The Dark Knight? Well, not only would they have to find a way to match the money made with Dark Knight and Potter combined, but they'd have to act very fast, as they had nothing else of that caliber prepared for release. So instead of failing to at least come close to the numbers made, they opted to try to match the the box office as much as possible. That way the investors are happy and they can lessen the damage that could happen from being too successful in one year, and having nothing to follow up with the next year.

Harry Potter even more so... (but thinking about the fact that they just postponed it for the sake of making more money in the summer tears my heart apart...)
