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.

It is exciting just to hear about the fifth movie. I am glad to hear that they are actually including Grawp in the movie instead of leaving him out.

Here's hoping they make a 3 hour flick with a small intermission so we can get our Bertie Bott's! It wouldn't do the book justice to chop it up into a 2 hour film.

I hope Jason Isaacs returns as Lucius Malfoy. He really looks the part and he is obviously very keen on playing in character. Everything I have ever read of him saying to a reporter has been in rather Lucius Malfoy style.
I hope that the direster will have the sense to focus on the best elements of book five and render the movie less dull and objectionable than certain parts of the book were because I am simply too much of a fan to stay away however much I was dissappointed in sections of that book.

The movie should be pretty good. I dont think not any of tho movies will be better than the books though. You cant beat those masterpieces. IT should be nice though because we have an interval between the next book.

I love the Paris Hilton wig comment...dear lord...
And at least it is slightly shorter than GoF so there's no excuse to cut as much...right?

Ah, what exciting news! Could it be possible that we could see the 5th movie by this November!? Wow, that would be awesome, but I guess that's pretty much the schedule they've been keeping all along!
