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.

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!

This wants to make me see the movie even worse now. I love the fact that David Yates is so into the movie and story line of it all "like a child". That gives me a lot of hope for the emotional parts of the movie.

Cool interview.
I'll have to go and see Driving Lessons when it is released. It sounds like an interesting movie, plus it would be cool to see Rupert in a different role.

She definitely seems to like working with him. It seems like maybe the movie will be more about the characters and their emotions then just the special effects (although I don't think the other movies did that, it's just that this book was definitely more mature in that manner)

Oooh the Christmas scene must look really lovely and festive! As it should be; a lot of decorating went into Grimmauld Place in the book. I look forward to that scene.
