Ok Harry Potter Fans! You can start jumping up and down now!
VH1.com and Zap2it.com both report that the film adaptation of author J. K. Rowling’s fifth chapter in the “Harry Potter” novels/saga, (and film franchise), “Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix”, will begin production, this Monday, February 6, 2006!
Shooting of the film will be done at Leavesden Film Studios in England (Harry would be proud!)
To ensure the magic, winning spell and formula of all four of the previous “Harry Potter” films, the entire ensemble cast of actors and actresses you have come to know and love, ARE back, all reprising their beloved, classic roles!
Actor, Daniel Radcliffe, but of course, is back, starring as the ever maturing Wizard in training, Harry Potter!
Actress, Emma Watson, and actor, Rupert Grint return as Harry’s loyal friends, Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley.
To freshen things up a bit though, the newest in the “Potter” films sees David Yates filling the Director’s chair and writer, Michael Goldenberg working on the screenplay.
Look for Academy Award nominated actress, Imelda Staunton portraying the character of Defense Against The Dark Arts Teacher, Dolores Umbridge.
Other newbies to this fifth Potter film installment include, actor, George Harris as Kingsley Shacklebot, actress, Helen McCrory as Bellatrix Lestrange, actress, Natalia Tena as Nymphadora Tonks, actress, Kathryn Hunter as Mrs. Figgs, and actress, Evanna Lynch as Luna Lovegood.
The main premise of the film will focus on Harry’s attempts to convince his friends that the evil Lord Voldemort is still alive and once more, preparing to cause chaos and disaster for Harry and his allies. Hogwarts’ Headmaster Professor Dumbledore’s union of virtuous wizards, The Order Of The Phoenix, and Harry’s own alliance of evil fighting wizards, Dumbledore’s Army, must prepare to do battle and defeat Lord Voldemort.
We hear Harry FINALLY gets to canoodle and play the romantic leading man with his new gal pal, Cho Chang.
Our Harry IS growing up! Can’t wait to see him in a lip lock with Cho!
Also, get ready to writhe, sympathizing for our poor Harry, as his new Teacher, Dolores Umbridge will take gleeful, bewitching pleasure in making Harry’s life sheer hell at The Hogwarts School, by inflicting nasty act upon nasty act on Harry.
Tentatively scheduled for a worldwide release date, sometime in the summer of 2007, we can’t wait to see this further film chapter in Harry Potter’s life and times as the little wizard that could.
Better yet, now we will get to see, (as we have also seen and followed Harry’s life and adventures in the four films prior), Harry’s continued maturation and evolution as no longer a mere pupil being schooled in the arts of wizardry, but as a soon to be graduated wizard master, and, as a young man, discovering and acting on his growing magic powers, abilities, along with finding true love and defending virtue and honor.
Be on the lookout for an OFFICIAL website for the “Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix” film.
Not that we’ve heard anything to that affect yet. But you can bet your magic wand that as production nears completion for this greatly anticipated, sure to be, blockbuster, that the folks behind the film will set one up with Official FIRST look coming attractions movie, video promotional trailers, breaking news and updates, and much more!
Keep your eyes popped open here, for further updates and news.
Looking forward to it Harry!
