Potter’s battlefield
Harry defends against the dark arts
In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) returns for his fifth year of study at Hogwarts.
To his dismay, Harry discovers that the wizarding community has been led to believe that the story of his recent encounter with the evil Lord Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes) is a lie.
Worse, Minister for Magic Cornelius Fudge (Robert Hardy), has appointed a new defense against the dark arts teacher, the duplicitous Professor Dolores Umbridge (Imelda Staunton).
Professor Umbridge’s course of defensive magic leaves the young wizards woefully unprepared to defend themselves against the dark forces threatening them.
At the prompting of his friends Hermione (Emma Watson) and Ron (Rupert Grint), Harry is convinced to take matters into his own hands. Meeting secretly with a small group of students who name themselves Dumbledore’s Army, Harry teaches them how to defend themselves.
In the face of increasing danger, the courageous young wizards prepare for the battle that lies ahead.
The magic and mystery of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix hits theatres on July 12.
