Many of the organization’s members were Hogwarts students and recent graduates, willing to risk their lives and resist dark forces to protect freedom and equality in Wizarding society.īecause many characters in the original Order lost their lives during the First Wizarding War, fans have never gotten to know these characters in their youth or, in some cases, at all. Founded in the 1970s by Albus Dumbledore, the first Order of the Phoenix strove to fight against Voldemort and his Death Eaters.
( ) for all the winners, exclusive video, quotes and more.With the recent news that HBO Max is developing a new series in the Harry Potter universe, fans may be excited to imagine what it would look like if the show followed the story of Harry’s parents and the original Order of the Phoenix–– here are some actors who could make up the cast. **Exclusive Sony Ericsson Empire Awards coverage Then we pick up in July and we shoot until October or November.” Wish Watson and Radcliffe luck with those exams in the middle, and with any luck we’ll see Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix by November 2007. So how much longer is filming going to take? “We’re actually shooting until the middle of May,” said Heyman, “and then we break up for two months so the kids can do exams. I can't bear the idea that somebody else would get to wear my Paris Hilton wig, but you never know." Meanwhile, we spoke to Jason Isaacs to ask if he'd be back as Lucius Malfoy. I think that’s one of the things that people object to about the book, is that they don’t want a manic-depressive superhero.” Both he and Heyman assure us that Harry will not be just a petulant teen in the film version. It could just refer to the sort of energy behind what he’s saying. “I think when JK Rowling puts things in capital letters I don’t think that necessarily means he’s shouting. “I think the problem is that Harry can be seen to come across as quite petulant in the book, and I don’t actually think that’s the case,” he explained. The third and the fifth are my favourites, which is a very uncommonly held opinion.” The fifth book is not universally popular (Emma Watson said she “really didn’t like” it, relative to the other ones), but Daniel Radcliffe is going against the flow. We showed the script to Jo a couple of months ago, and she was very happy with it, so I think it’s a good adaptation.” It always kills me, but you have to do it. “Inevitably with every book you make choices and there are certain things you have to leave out, so there are things that are left out on this. Heyman also talked a little about the challenge of adapting the mammoth fifth book. 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’ve done some stuff involving centaurs and Grawp, who is Hagrid’s 16ft brother. “We’ve done a little bit of action so far. Producer David Heyman told us what they’ve filmed to date. He’s a bit calmer, and he doesn’t really get stressed out at all, and he’s just a really nice bloke.” He’s a lot different from the other directors though. Rupert Grint is similarly cheery about new guy Yates.
But he also seems to have an incredible eye for sets and shoots and things.” He’s really pushing Harry’s emotional and psychological journey. I’ve never been quite this pushed before, so regularly. “We’re doing the fifth Harry Potter at the moment, which is going really really well,” gushed Daniel Radcliffe. With filming on Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix now over five weeks in, we talked to the three stars and producer David Heyman about the film, and the franchise’s latest director, David Yates, at last night’s Sony Ericsson Empire Awards, and they’re promising great things for the fifth film.
