Global terrorism. Political repression. Parental abuse. Fascist allegories. Yep, it's welcome back to the sinister and disturbing world of Harry Potter, teen wizard, who in this fifth installment of the franchise must contend not only with assassination attempts and first kisses but with the loss of someone very close to him. "This is the most overtly political of the films so far," says Radcliffe. Director Yates (the Emmy-winning The Girl in the Cafe) agrees: "It'll be edgier. It will be a little darker. It will be a little bit more complicated, emotionally." With the wizarding establishment in denial over Voldemort's return, it's up to the titular Order, a group of freedom fighters — Oldman's Sirius Black and Thewlis's lycanthropic Remus Lupin among them — to battle the Dark Lord's army of Death Eaters (including Isaacs and Bonham Carter). Hogwarts, meanwhile, buckles under the bureaucratic meddling of new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher Dolores Umbridge (Staunton), an authoritarian nightmare in pink taffeta. "She's a megalomaniac," says Radcliffe.
