The Harry Potter series of films is without doubt the biggest movie franchise of recent years with merchandise and memorabilia from the “Harry Potter” series very sought after and collectable. For the fifth instalment “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix” creative arts agency BLT Communications were commissioned for the film poster advertising campaign and introduced one of the franchises most infamous characters;Harry’s nemesis “Lord Voldemort”. And it was Voldemort who featured on one of the first Advance film posters with the the foreboding warning for Harry…“You will lose everything !” This was the first time Voldemort was ever seen on a poster. One of the most eye-catching and certainly one of the rarest Harry Potter posters; this style hardly ever shows up and is a great find. Originally rolled (as issued) this fine example is guaranteed original and presents to excellent effect and represents is a great piece of genuinely scarce original Harry Potter and movie memorabilia.
Trivia: Horror writer Stephen King said the character of Dolores Umbridge was the “greatest make-believe villain to come along since Hannibal Lecter.”

“Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix“ is the fifth instalment out of seven in the story of Harry Potter. With the release of this film as well as the final literary installment of the series, ‘Potter ‘has received a great abundance of exposure (as if it needed it). In ‘Phoenix’, Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) and Dumbeldore (Michael Gambon) are targeted by the Ministry of Magic after claiming (correctly) that the dark Lord Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes) has been reborn. A sadistic member of the Ministry is installed in Hogwarts who slowly takes over the entire school. Meanwhile, a secret organization, the Order of the Phoenix, recruits Harry, and prepares for the Dark Lord’s return. As the story gets darker, the films get better. This film (while it was not the best book in the series), is quite possibly the ‘Potter’ film yet. The teenage as well as adult cast excel while visuals and special effects are nothing less than top notch. While the film did do a good job making a page 896 book into a 2 hour and 15 minute movie, I do wish that it could have been longer to include more details and sub-plots which were cut either in post production or during the writing process. The explosive finale is incredible and will cast a spell on you throughout. ‘Phoenix’ is a must see for any ‘Potter’ or fantasy adventure fan, while others will still find it an enjoyable ride.

Used for larger advertising spaces, normally posted on walls, perfect for huge movie theatres the drive-in, where people could see them from a distance. From the 1970’s on, three-sheets were sometimes printed in one piece and issued as “international” versions to be used abroad.
