The Phoenix starts filming on 6th February

The three teenage stars of the "Harry Potter" movies are gathering for the fifth film in the wizard saga, "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix." Filming begins February with Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint reprising their roles as teenage wizards.

Britain's David Yates, who last year made the HBO movie "The Girl in the Cafe," will direct and "Vera Drake" star Imelda Staunton will play the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, Delores Umbridge.

Other new cast members announced last week include 14-year-old newcomer Evanna Lynch as Hogwarts student Luna Lovegood; Natalia Tena, who played in "About a Boy," as Nymphadora Tonks, a young dark wizard-catcher; Helen McCrory, who appeared in "Count of Monte Cristo," as Bellatrix Lestrange, a dark wizard; and Michael Wildman, who appeared in "The Merchant of Venice," as Kingsley Shacklebolt, a dark wizard-catcher. "Phoenix" is expected to be released next year.
