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.

Some of the pictures are really great! Kreacher is interesting-not what I expected-with an ugly adams apple! I'll have to see how he sounds. There's one where harry is laying on the ground in sand? where he looks evil. I love tonks and luna I think that they are perfect! Of course DD his his potato sack again. The thestals aren't what I expected either, not scary enough. All in all they were wonderful.

These are great shots! I am getting a little bit concerned that they may be showing too much of the movie to us ahead of time. I hope it will be worth what we are waiting for!

I got some of them to work but I still cannot get the one of Sirius and Harry or the one of Neville to load. Some of them are so large you cannot see the whole picture at once. I would prefer the picture smaller so I can see it all at once.
Kreacher is really creepy looking. Dobby is cute in a house elf sort of way but Kreacher is gross. I suppose his looks match his personality.

These are the best pictures yet. The one of Kreacher looks so sinister, although I wish there had been a better shot of the Thesterals.
