They are barely recognisable as the fresh-faced trio who first embarked on magic and mischief in the first Harry Potter film. So it comes as little surprise that the latest episode in the boy wizard’s life is an altogether more adult affair. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix – the fifth and latest film in the series – features Harry’s first proper kiss as well as terrifying battle scenes and special effects. The ?75 million blockbuster, set to released on both sides of the Atlantic next month, is reported to be the most expensive yet.
The original threesome are all smiles as they celebrate what is bound to be another hugely successful film when it premieres next week.
