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.

I of course found out about this last night as ICM had the pleasure of being at this press conference. I was so excited to hear about Christmas at Hogwarts in this film. That had been lacking in the last two films. And I can see the comparison of David to Alfonso as the pictures, with all the colour, reminded me of PoA. I'm really excited. It sounds so lovely. Especially for The Weaselys. :)

Mrs. Weasley is a dear sweet soul, I really like her and wish I knew more people like her in real life.
The sets for 12 Grimwald Street sound like their fantastic, but I'll just have to wait, like everyone else, to see them. Blessings! Hecate3fold!

Cool stuff. I cannot believe HP has had so many directors. I wish they didn't because it makes the movies inconsistant. Too late now.
