...Ibsen revivals generated two excellent productions: Trevor Nunn's staging of "The Lady from the Sea," starring Natasha Richardson, and Adrian Noble's "Brand," with Ralph Fiennes.

Voldemort is back, and Hogwarts' sage headmaster Aldus Dumbledore has organized some of the wizarding world's heavy hitters--your Mad-Eye Moody, your Remus Lupin--into an informal league called the Order of the Phoenix to oppose the evil wizard and his followers...
