Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix works its magic on moviegoers beginning on July 13, 2007.

The Harry Potter movies could be released without any publicity - no trailers, interviews, photos, or whatever - and the films would still be box office gold. The appeal of J. K. Rowlings' work is worldwide and the built-in audience for the Harry Potter movie franchise is ginormous. If I had a dime for every time someone told me they can't wait for the Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix film I'd, well, I'd have a truckload of dimes. Harry Potter fans embrace their movie franchise like no others, with the possible exception of the Lord of the Rings devotees (argue that comment amongst yourselves you Ringers and HP fans).

The Story - Harry Potter and his cohorts are back for the fifth year of adventure, romance, learning and fun at Hogwarts. There's mischief afoot (as always) at the school for young wizards as much of the tight-knit community doesn't know the truth about Harry's recent encounter with Lord Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes). A new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher has been hired by Minister for Magic Cornelius Fudge to keep an eye on headmaster Dumbledore, and it's up to Harry (Daniel Radcliffe), Hermoine (Emma Watson) and Ron (Rupert Grint) to prepare themselves and their friends for a terrifying battle against the dark forces.
