Warner Bros. has unleashed a whole new trailer upon us for Harry and Co.’s next onscreen adventure, "Order of the Phoenix." Check out the trailer, flipbook and all new official screengrabs from the pic, which is shaping up to be the "300" of teenage wizardry flicks.
If you weren’t already excited about "Order of the Phoenix," this new domestic trailer might just do the trick. We’ve got broom racing and Harry’s first kiss; a line-up of familiar faces old (Robbie Coltrane, Michael Gambon, Gary Oldman, Alan Rickman, Brendan Gleeson) and new (Imelda Staunton, Helena Bonham Carter); and a handful of terrifying glimpses of the pasty-faced evil Lord Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes).
In this fifth series installment, Harry returns to another year of study at Hogwarts amid a brewing political rift — uber-baddie Voldemort is back and threatening all sorts of evil, but the bureaucrats at the Ministry of Magic don’t buy it. With all new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor assigned to rein in Dumbledore, Harry and his fellow students must train in secret for a lethal showdown of wand-waving magic.
Among the trailer’s highlights are peeks at a few new characters. Imelda Staunton joins the cast as new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher Dolores Umbridge, whose prim, no-nonsense agenda means trouble for Harry’s rule-bending ways. Helena Bonham Carter looks alternately wretched and scorching hot as Voldemort devotee Bellatrix Lestrange.
But you can see for yourself — check out the trailer here (make sure you open the Domestic Trailer) and the flipbook here!
"Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" hits theaters July 13.
