Warner Bros. has released a bunch of new high resolution stills from Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Included is our first look at Kreacher and a thestral, some Neville Longbottom, Mr. Weasley, Professor Snape, Cho Chang, Voldemort, Remus Lupin, Hagrid, Dumbledore, the Order and of course, Harry himself:
Note that we've seen some of these images in other forms (like the poster book), but these are all fresh releases today from WB.

It has been a long, lonely summer for Harry Potter as he awaits his fifth year of study at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. It's bad enough that he must endure living with the odious Dursleys, but he hasn't received even a note from his classmates and closest friends, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. And there has not been any word from anyone in the aftermath of his confrontation with the evil Lord Voldemort. The letter that does arrive is not the kind for which he was hoping--pronouncing that Harry is about to be expelled from Hogwarts for illegally using magic outside of school and in the presence of a Muggle, namely his obnoxious cousin, Dudley. Never mind that it was in defense against an unprovoked and inexplicable attack by two Dementors.
Harry's only hope is to defend himself at what amounts to hardly more than a kangaroo court orchestrated by the Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge, who has his own reasons for wanting the young wizard to be gone for good. Much to Fudge's chagrin, Harry is acquitted--thanks largely to the intervention of Hogwarts' venerable Headmaster, Albus Dumbledore--but his return to Hogwarts is, for the first time, apprehensive and uncomfortable. Harry has learned that much of the wizarding community has been led to believe that the story of the teenager's recent encounter with Voldemort is an outright lie, putting Harry's integrity in question.
Feeling ostracized and alone, Harry is beset by nightmares that seem to foretell sinister events. Worse, the one person whose counsel he needs most, Professor Dumbledore, is suddenly acting strangely distant from the confused and hurt young wizard.
Meanwhile, in an effort to keep an eye on Dumbledore and keep the Hogwarts students--especially Harry--in line, Fudge has appointed a new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, the duplicitous Professor Dolores Umbridge. But Professor Umbridge's "Ministry-approved" course of defensive magic leaves the young wizards woefully unprepared to defend themselves against the Dark Forces threatening them. So, at the prompting of Hermione and Ron, Harry is convinced to take matters into his own hands. Meeting secretly with a small group of students who name themselves "Dumbledore's Army," Harry teaches them how to defend themselves against the Dark Arts, preparing the courageous young wizards for the extraordinary battle that he knows lies ahead.

I finally got the picture of Sirius and Harry and the pic of Neville and the cactus with puss-filled-pimples (I know I cannot spell its real name.) Neville just seems like the type of guy you just want to hug because he is so sweet.

I LOVED that Snape picture, and am so looking forward to seeing him on the big screen. It is also neat to see the younger actors growing up and having more presence, even in stills. Nice job.

These pictures are really great. It's cool to be able to venture more into the movie. I really liked the picture of Kreacher. I had him pictured pretty much like Dobby just older. I don't know why but I thought they all looked the same. Anyway, can't wait for the movie. It looks awesome!

I just love all the pictures, it only whets my appetite for the film. I am still keeping my fingers crossed that Yates was able to stay loyal to Jo's vision and really does a good job with this film.
I love to see how the cast has ggrown up and to see all the stills of the sets. It is very interesting.

I do really like the pictures. I was very worried they would be spoilers but they're not. Tonks is quite attractive. Luna Lovegood really is umm... different. And the thestrals look like big black horses. Quite realistic. I wonder if they just dressed up big black horses. That would be cool. Only if it didn't hurt them.

Heyy, lots of stills. Is this a good thing? Well, it's good if you want to see what every scene of the movie looks like before you watch it, and I don't want to. Hmm, I really think that, just like track names, pictures can be spoilers for the plot of a story as well! Just like trailers... for Goblet of Fire, they made some of the scenes seem much funnier or more exciting that they really were in the movie, but that wasn't really spoiler-ish - it was more like trickery.
