What’s the Story? In the fifth Harry Potter movie, Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) and Dumbledore, headmaster of Hogwarts, are on a quest to convince the wizarding world that the evil Lord Voldemort is back and ready to wreak some havoc. The Ministry of Magic denies Voldemort's return and sends Dolores Umbridge (Imelda Staunton) to Hogwarts to keep an eye on Harry. Under Umbridge's nose, Harry trains an army in preparation for Voldemort's return. He then escapes to confront Voldemort in the Ministry of Magic. Of course, Harry gets a little help from his friends Hermione Granger (Emma Watson) and Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint) who, like Harry, are all grown up and ready to do battle. But it's not all wizarding work for Harry. He finds time for a little romance and steals his first on-screen kiss with longtime crush Cho Chang (Katie Leung). Did You Know? Worldwide, the first four Harry Potter movies have grossed $3.5 billion. The books have sold 325 million copies in 200 countries. Of that total, 54.5 million were sold in the U.S. alone. The seventh and final book in the Harry Potter series, due out July 21, has a first print run of 12 million copies--the largest in publishing history. |
