"Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix", the fifth adaptation of J.K. Rowling's beloved boy wizard adventures, is set to start filming in England next week, according to Warner Bros. The stars are back along with a lot of new faces for the next film based on J.K. Rowling`s series.

Principal photography will begin on Monday, February 6 at England`s Leavesden Studios, Warner Bros. Pictures announced in a news release this Thursday.

Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson reprise their roles as teen wizards Harry Potter, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. Joining them will be Imelda Staunton as Dolores Umbridge, the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher; George Harris as Kingsley Shacklebolt; Helen McCrory as Bellatrix Lestrange; Natalia Tena as Nymphadora Tonks and Kathryn Hunter as Mrs. Figg.

In this go-round, Potter returns for his fifth year of study at Hogwarts only to find the school turning a blind eye to his recent encounter with the evil Lord Voldemort. He decides to take matters into his own hands and begins to form an army of students, whom he trains to defend themselves against the Dark Arts.

One of the new faces is the 14-year-old Evanna Lynch, who beat more than 15,000 hopefuls at an open casting call to win the role of Luna Lovegood, Warner said.

"Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" is slated for a 2007 release, but there is no word whether it will be a summer or holiday movie.
