Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

Imelda Staunton and 14-year-old unknown Evanna Lynch are the latest additions to Warner Bros. Pictures Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, says the Hollywood Reporter.

The fifth Harry Potter movie will be helmed by British director David Yates, and revolves around the Ministry of Magic's attempts to take control of Hogwarts and squelch Harry Potter's contention that the evil Lord Voldemort has returned.

In addition to Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson, who will all reprise their roles, new castmembers include George Harris, Helen McCrory, Natalia Tena and Kathryn Hunter.

Shooting begins in England next week.
