New Order of the Phoenix Pictures, Interviews and Buzz on Potentially Scarred Children Everywhere!

The Hogwarts students enter their fifth year. And yes I could list the names of each of the characters off the top of my head, but why give away all of my mystique?

I apologize to the non-Harry Potter dorks in the audience, but I need a little check-in. And you know what? You haters can listen too, since it's just a $3.5 billion industry and all.

First off, I just found this picture of the Hogwarts students who follow Harry into the D.A. And I have to say, it looks like the casting directors got Luna Lovegood, the blond on the right and my personal favorite from the books, just right!

And please enjoy some fun interviews with the supporting cast we never really get to hear from (I've seen enough of Daniel Radcliffe nude), including little sister Ginny, love-interest Cho, spacey, newbie Luna and soft-spoken Neville.

Rumors of Harry Potter's death in the final book and producers turning the Paris subway into Hogwarts Express ...after the jump!

So countless 12-year olds and I are all buzzing for this summer's Harry Potter overload: The fifth movie, Order of the Phoenix, premieres July 11, and the seventh and last novel, The Deathly Hollows, comes out July 21 (you know I have mine pre-ordered).

Why so close together, J.K.? It'll all be over after this - I'd like to savor what I have left.

And obviously I can't wait for either of them; Order of the Phoenix is hands-down my favorite of the first six novels, so they better do it right. We'll see how this new director does, but I have faith.

I'm a little scared for the last book, though. Ridiculously-loaded J.K. Rowling recently announced she killed off two major characters in her final novel, and I've heard speculation that Harry himself is one of those two unfortunates (most likely because Harry and Voldemort's fates are so linked).

That theory even made the most recent People magazine cover; the article included tips for parents to console their emotionally damaged children. "It's just a book, sweetie!"

And these are pictures I found of Paris' Gare Du Nord taken yesterday. As a promotional stunt for the movie, producers had the system's trains decorated with costumes and props from Order of the Phoenix. Kinda cool, right?

Eeeeew. Umbridge's carriage.
