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.

HAHAHA!!! I almost fell out of my seat in laughter.
Aww!!! Harry's filming the kissing scene *sigh* good luck with that. If filming finishes in November, does that mean that Ootp will be out really soon? *crosses fingers*

Good on Daniel for "going against the grain" and saying that books 3 and 5 are his favorites. Nice to know that they can think independently of the studios.

Emma's true fan and lover says:
That's some wicked news, even though the Goblet Of Fire mania hasn't quite left me entirely, I'm very pleased to hear that work on the fifth movie is under way and they have it all planned out.
At this rate, we will definitely see the 5th movie before we get to read the last book, which reminds me that I am depressed as there is only one book left.
Sigh, anyway, Kudos to the cast and directors and the producers, they're really pulling it with all their horses.

I really wait for the harry potter and the order of the phoenix to release in theatres in 2007. I'll be there to see it the first day it comes out. I think it's cool that they have filmed some of the fifth book.

I can't wait until the 5th movie comes out even though I know I'm going to have to wait for a long time. I really liked the book and I hope the movie is just as good. The thing I didn't like about the 4th movie was that they left out some important things and they changed some things from the way they were in the book. I didn't like that too much. But, all in all I thought it was a great movie and I honestly cannot wait until The Order of the Phoenix comes out!!!!!!!!

It's great that Dan cares about how his character Harry expresses himself and acts, but I agree that Harry is YELLING because he needs to let it out sometimes and his life and everything is getting tougher now and he is bound to lose his temper like a normal 15 year old. Dan should know that yelling is the right way to express the capitalization in the book.

I loved the Order of Phoenix. I actually didn't start reading the books until that one came out, and them my sister was reading it and read me a passage and I enjoyed it so much I went and read all the previous ones just so I could read that one. I ended up loving everyone but I hold a fond memory for OotP. And if Grawp made it into the movies maybe we should think about what role he will be playing, since they cut anything that isn't useful to the plot. Something to think about.
