Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

THE BOOK

SYNOPSIS:

J.K.Rowling's fifth Harry Potter adventure

Dumbledore lowered his hands and surveyed Harry through his half-moon glasses. 'It is time,' he said, 'for me to tell you what I should have told you five years ago, Harry. Please sit down. I am going to tell you everything.' Harry Potter is due to start his fifth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizadry. Its been a rollercoaster ride of adventure and he is desperate to get back to school and find out why his friends Ron and Hermione have been so secretive all summer. However, what Harry is about to discover in his new year at Hogwarts will turn his whole world upside down...But before he even gets to school, Harry has an unexpected and frightening encounter with two Dementors, has to face a court hearing at the Ministry of Magic and has been escorted on a night-time broomstick ride to the secret headquarters of a mysterious group called 'The Order of the Phoenix'. And that is just the start. A gripping and electrifying novel, full of suspense, secrets, and - of course - magic.

THE MOVIE

As his fifth year at Hogwarts School Of Witchcraft and Wizardry approaches, 15-year-old Harry Potter is in full-blown adolescence, complete with regular outbursts of rage, a nearly debilitating crush, and the blooming of a powerful sense of rebellion. It's been yet another infuriating and boring summer with the despicable Dursleys, this time with minimal contact from our hero's non-Muggle friends from school. Harry is feeling especially edgy at the lack of news from the magic world, wondering when the freshly revived evil Lord Voldermort will strike. Returning to Hogwarts will be a relief – or will it?

Interesting Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix fact no 1:

The character of Grawp will be done by using a recent breakthrough in film technology, developed by Image Metrics, which allows a computer to map an actor's performance onto any character virtual or human, living or dead. The result is said to be far superior to standard hand-drawn computer graphics which are very costly and time-consuming.

Interesting Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix fact no 2:

The radish earrings worn by Luna Lovegood were actually made by Evanna Lynch (the actress portraying her). Evanna Lynch beat over 15,000 girls for the role of Luna Lovegood.
