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.

Ok, Huge pictures. 3 things that caught my attention, 1 is that Kretcher looks a bit like Filtch, no offence but 2 me he does. 2, They are supposed to Apperate to Grimmald Place, not fly. 3, David Thewlis is deffinatly in the right role and doing it to the tee of what I would expect of Lupin from the book. I wish I could say the same for all of the other actors, actresses.

is it just me but in the pic with Dolores Umbridge's Inquisitorial Squad. Doesn't it look like Cho is guilty of something...it's supposed to be her friend...Mariettie(sp?). I hope they don't change that. I was looking forward to seeing the spots form "Sneak". Kreacher looks way better than I immaginened. I'm really excited to see the movie!!

These images were GREAT! I know that both the characters and the sets are great, but i still get surprised (in a positive way) whenever new pictures come out! Still, i'm very curious to see some High Quality images of the young marauders. My favourite picture of all was, of course, the one were Luna is in the great hall - really, as times passes i'm more and more glad that Evanna was picked to play Luna.

Great pics. They've certainly made Kreacher look different than Dobby. It's obvious who's the nicer of the two that's for sure. I think that herbology Neville is working on his Mimbulus Mimbletonia.

Great pictures! I agree with everyone else, Kreacher and the thestral look awesome! The Thestral really does look like a leathery, black, withered horse, just as described! Luna looks awesome and I like the action shot in the DoM. I am super sexcited for the movie now, less than three weeks away!
