Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2007 - Amends the Internal Revenue Code to replace the hope and lifetime learning tax credits with a higher education opportunity tax credit.

Reduces credit amounts for taxpayers with modified adjusted gross incomes over $70,000 ($140,000 in the case of a joint return).
Limits such credit to three eligible students per taxpayer in any taxable year and for four taxable years.
Denies such credit to certain part-time students and students convicted of a felony drug offense.
Repeals the tax deduction for qualified tuition and related expenses.
