In a recent interview
to discuss her new movie Driving Lessons, Julie Walters from the Harry Potter movies briefly discussed filming on Order of the Phoenix.
Julie discussing a scene from Order of the Phoenix:
Oh yeah, Christmas; we have a very good Christmas. The sets are fantastic; Mark (Williams), who plays Mr. Weasley, said they made his hair stand up on the back of his neck when he walked into one of the rooms. They're just so beautiful, they're amazing.
On working with director David Yates compared to Chris Columbus and Alfonso Cuarón:
He's very unassuming; they were in a way, Alfonso was, but he's fantastic. [David] is very into the emotional truth of it, the kids absolutely love it; he's very sweet and kind, and very, very into the story like a child is. And he's really into the emotional depths, and he's really fantastic, he's a lovely man.

So, if we read that, we can assume that Sirius' death will be drammatic and very emotional, like GOF I hope... I cried a lot with the come back to hogwarts scene with Harry, Dumbledore, Cedric and his father.

I agree that the film sets do look fantastic, it must be amazing to actually stand within the sets.

Thanks for posting the summary to the interview. Always interesting to hear their perspective on making the movies. This has, of course, gone on for a few years now for many of them.

It is such a sigh of relief to know that yates is getting into the spirit of the book. I like the idea of him getting just as excited as the kids. :)

Sounds to me like David Yates was the perfect choice for OotP...I keep reading interviews where everyone says he's very in touch with the emotional aspects of the story, which is really where you want to go with Harry in OotP. Can't wait to see what he's done!

Julie Walters' assessment sounds really promising. Maybe Yates will bring all the magic and wonder to these films that they deserve. I certainly hope he keeps michael Gambon in line and makes him play Dumbledore the way he should be played - that is, truer to canon!

Well if David is really as into it as Julie describes, I think this film is going to be the best one yet! I can't wait to see the scenery, there's always so much to look at at one time, that's why you have to see the film more than once. Can't wait for it's release!
