9 EXTENDED SYNOPSIS Stories are Transforming 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.

10 EXTENDED SYNOPSIS All Kids are Born Artistic What is Natural is Essential 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.

11 EXTENDED SYNOPSIS Stories Embody the Essence of Being Human 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.

12 EXTENDED SYNOPSIS Cinematic Story Telling is a Profoundly Humanizing endeavor. 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.

13 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 prepares the young wizards for the extraordinary battle that he knows lies ahead. EXTENDED SYNOPSIS Film making is a Community Event.

14 CRITICAL OPINION Free Artistic Expression is a Mark of a Free Society It's action-packed, darker, more epic and thankfully schmaltz-free. And it's the best Harry Potter film yet. --Colin Bertram, New York Daily News Able 'Potter' growing darker --Tom Charity, CNN.com Yes, the fifth in the projected sevenmovie series is quite a journey --Nancy Churnin, Dallas Morning News A powerful, poignant coming-of-age story. --Richard Corliss, TIME Magazine

David Bruce FILM REVIEW HARRY POTTER 5 Art is the Language of Liberation What an amazing coming of age film HP5 is! Unlike the previous installments, the focus here is on Harry s inner struggle.

15 David Bruce FILM REVIEW HARRY POTTER 5 Art is the Language of Liberation What an amazing coming of age film HP5 is! Unlike the previous installments, the focus here is on Harry s inner struggle. His friends did not write him over the summer. This disappointment is just the beginning for him. Harry has a very real inner struggle going on between darkness and light. He must make life altering choices. In an early foreshadowing scene Harry must decide if he should risk his own life to save the despised Dudley, or leave him to a horrific fate. The film builds from there. You will not be disappointed. It is this determined journey toward maturity makes HP an epic story. And HP5 may be the best of all the films so far. Cast and crew have exceeded themselves.

16 FINDING TRUTH IN HARRY POTTER 5 DECEPTION VS DETERMINATION Prime, pink and proper, Harry's immediate problem is the new teacher, Miss Umbridge (Imelda Staunton). She wants to bring discipline to Hog-warts, but instead, she becomes the students' nightmare. She is a self righteous devil dressed pretty in pink. Miss Umbridge is deceptive. But Harry Is determined Success means having the courage, the determination, and the will to become the person you believe you were meant to be --George Sheehan Society is only as free as its arts. Art is the voice of human freedom. People who indulge in the acts of deception and debauchery are devoid of success. --Rig Veda

17 LIFE CONNECTION IN HARRY POTTER 5 Art is a Liberating Force THE IMPORTANT INNER STRUGGLE Harry is both a tormented adolescent and a determined leader ready to do battle for truth. He is in a struggle outside and in. The last struggle for our rights, the battle for our civilization, is entirely with ourselves. --William Wells Brown
