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.

I'm glad that he likes the 5th book! The 3rd is actually my ffavorite, and 5th my least favorite, but at least it is enjoyable. I hope to see Mr. Isaacs come back as Mr. Malfoy. He already fits the image. This OotP deal is really getting exciting, and I think it's going to be a killer movie when it comes out! It will sweep sales and all. I think OotP is going to rock all the charts! I'm so excited about it's release!!! I'm actually hoping it comes out before book 7 is released!

We don't know, maybe Dan talked with Jo, and she said this to him! Heyman says she likes the script.
Anyway, if the script says Harry doesn't shout, Dan has to accept it, so I think that's the case. Maybe Dan is just trying to let us know the script's point of view.
I like all I've read about the movie!

This bit of information is really exciting. I hope they are able to keep on schedule and finish filming before the year ends so the movie can come early next year. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Hm.... I love the third book and film! They are the best.... I also loved OoTP. I am unsure, however, as to whether or not Daniel will be able to convey Harry's emotion well in the fifth film. He did an excellent job in doing so in PoA, but GoF lacked all the anger, frustruation, etc. that was needed for Harry's character. Time will only tell I guess, wait... no it won't... I'm not going to go see the fifth film.... *laughs* Silly me. No need to tell me I'm off topic, thank you very much.

Ainhoa says:
Elphaba, I think Dan was really good in GoF. I don't remember Harry to have so much anger in GoF book, at least in the scenes that were included in the movie. I loved the graveyard scene when Harry is hiding behind the tomb and you can see his fear and then his determination. Or when he is waiting in the tent before fighting the dragon and you can see he is scared.
Anyway, if you liked PoA, then you know he is able to do it. ;)

I hope that Jason returns... good grief. What's all this nonsense with some actors not returning? Why's it such a mystery? This is the weirdest scenario I've ever heard of in a movie production where actors aren't even sure if they're going to be in a sequel while the movie's already underway. Very odd-sounding.

Haha, Paris Hilton wig, that really cracked me up!! I hope Jason gets to stay, he is Lucius Malfoy for me, can't even think that someone else would try to fill those boots (wig).
And I have to say that I think it was quite funny to see Harry shout a bit, I would have been a lot worse if what has happened to Harry happened to me.

OOoooh wow I'm SO excited to hear actual news about OotP!!! I've been waiting for concrete stuff from Heyman (or anyone connected with the movie) for SO long! I'm happy the Grawp will be in the film... I was worried they'd cut him out!

They will have Grawp? That's good, I thought this character will be eliminated in the movie. It will not do it justice, then.
Silverblood, *-_Emma_Radcliffe_-*, Orchid, I so agree with you, that comment was hillarious.
