At last nights Empire Awards ceremony
, Harry Potter producer David Heyman spoke about Order of the Phoenix filming, Jason Isaacs voiced his hope that he would be back and Daniel Radcliffe went against the grain & stated that the fifth book is actually one of his favorites: "The third and the fifth are my favourites, which is a very uncommonly held opinion."
David on what has actually been filmed to date and how long filming will take:
We've done a little bit of action so far. We've done some stuff involving centaurs and Grawp, who is Hagrid's 16ft brother. The kids have to act against a lot of blue screen for characters like Grawp, but thankfully, they're used to that by now.
We're actually shooting until the middle of May and then we break up for two months so the kids can do exams. Then we pick up in July and we shoot until October or November.
Jason discusses his wish to remain with the series:
I hope so - you'll have to ask David. I can't bear the idea that somebody else would get to wear my Paris Hilton wig, but you never know.
Daniel gives his take on the fifth book:
I think the problem is that Harry can bee seen to come across as quite petulant in the book, and I don't actually think that's the case. I think when JK Rowling puts things in capital letters I don't think that necessarily means he's shouting. It could just refer to the sort of energy behind what he's saying. I think that's one of things that people object to about the book, is that they don't want a manic-depressive superhero.
Also thanks to Paul for letting us know that you can see a transcript and video (can take a while to load in Quicktime) of the acceptance speech of David and the trio.
UPDATE: Additionally, BBC Radio 1 reports that today Dan will be filming the kissing scene with Cho Chang, in which he says: "It'll be odd because one of my parents will be on set." Click here to read what the young actor plans to do about it. Thanks to Cristal for the tip.

Ok, that's your opinion, but if Dan and David say that it's because the script says that. So we will have to wait and see what the scripwriter says, and the new director too, and to know why they don't want Harry to be shouting.

Wow, I can't wait to see OoTP, but I'm sure it will be a very fast pace movie :( It's not like they're going to make it four hours long or something, 'tis a shame really, I wouldn't mind one bit, think of how much better it could be if they made it that long!

I think they know more about what Jo wanted to say, that what we know. After all, I'm sure the new director and the new scriptwriter have talked with her.
Ans if she liked the script, they must be right.

ARGH >.< OotP is going to take forever to make! I can't wait... but it will be totally worth it. I just hope they get through filming the series before the actors playing prof. mcgonagal or dumbledore dies. I hate when they have to change actors, Maggie Smith is amazing!

It's good to hear some kind of update on the filming, even if it's only a little one. I can't wait to see pictures and the movie, of course. I hope Jason Isaacs comes back. He is the best Lucius. I don't think anyone else could be that convincingly evil.

True on Dan's part. That doesn't really mean he's jumping the grain though. He can say that all the books are his favorite on an occasion. It doesn't have to be a big problem if he says that a certian book of the Harry Potter series is his favorite when another movie of Harry Potter is coming out. Usually he likes all the books no matter what others think. :):):);)

daniel radcliffe fan, I think that's because Dan is growing while he reads these books, he is about the same age as Harry, everytime he rereads them, he finds things that when he was younger he didn't see, so that can change the way you see the books, and change what your favorites are.
That's what hapenned to me, because maybe you read OotP when you where younger than Harry is in the book, and you don't understand his anger, but when you grow up, you live teen anguish, you reread the book, then you understant it and you love it.
