LONDON, March 5 (UPI) -- British teen star Daniel Radcliffe will complete his wizard's training as Harry Potter in the series' final two film installments.

"Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix," the fifth movie based on J.K. Rowling's books, is due in July.

The sixth Potter film, "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince," is due next year, with the seventh and final movie following that.

Radcliffe won the part in 2000 at age 11, and the first film, "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone," arrived in the theaters the following year.

Each installment covers one school year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry -- making the title character about 18 at the end of the series.

The final film, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows," is not expected to be released until 2010, the year Radcliffe turns 21. The book is scheduled to be released this summer.
