Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

The Phoenix rises

Harry Potter goes from student to teacher in the fifth Harry Potter movie




Here we go again!  Harry Potter and friends are back for the fifth film of the series, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, and if you’ve read the book you know some very painful moments await our teen hero.

 

Another bleak summer with the Dursleys comes to an unexpected and dangerous end when Harry and his cousin Dudley are attacked by a band of Dementors. Harry uses magic to thwart them, and in doing so is expelled from Hogwarts.


But before he can feel sorry for himself, Harry is taken to the home of his godfather, Sirius Black. His home is the headquarters for a secret organization called The Order of the Phoenix. This group — that includes Sirius, Dumbledore and the Weasley parents — is dedicated to stopping Voldemort before he can regain his full powers.
 

Harry is allowed to return to Hogwarts, but he soon realizes that the school is not taking Voldemort’s return seriously. The new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, Dolores Umbridge, is useless, teaching simple spells that offer no protection from Voldemort’s Death Eaters.


So Harry takes it upon himself to teach the students, forming Dumbledore’s Army. And while Harry is preparing his classmates for battle, You-Know-Who is laying a trap for the young wizard, using Harry’s beloved godfather Sirius as bait!



Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix opens July 11.
