Harry Potter with his wizarding sidekicks

In the fifth film, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, the teenage Harry is caught in the middle of a romantic triangle after he shares his first kiss with student Cho Chang under the mistletoe.

With hormones raging Cho becomes jealous of Harry's close relationship with Hermione. Meanwhile Ginny Weasley, played by Bonnie Wright waits hopefully in the wings.

Meanwhile the sinister forces of Lord Voldemort gather strength.

Clockwise from top right: Emma Watson, Katie Leung, Evanna Lynch and Bonnie Wright.

Another young actress joining the cast is flaxen-haired Evanna Lynch playing Luna Lovegood.

Evanna reportedly wrote repeatedly to JK Rowling when she was younger. In one letter she admitted how much she would love to act in a Harry Potter film but doubted this would happen as she lived in a sleepy little place called Termonfeckin.

To Evanna's surprise, Rowling wrote back, "Don't be too hard on Termonfeckin; it does have a brilliant name! And I come from a very sleepy place.".

The youngsters are joined by the regular cast drawn from the British theatre's great and good including Michael Gambon, Alan Rickman, Gary Oldman, Ralph Fiennes, Maggie Smith and Emma Thompson.
