On Set Secrets From Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix

The Harry Potter Franchise could definitely be considered one of the greatest fantasy series there is. Today we’re taking a look behind the scenes at the 5th Harry Potter movie, The Order of the Phoenix. This film is a special one, especially considering its when Albus Dumbledore passes away. This is also one of the Daniel Radcliffe movies that sees Harry facing VERY intense obstacles. So how did the actors spend their time on set? Tonks was spending her time playing original tunes on her guitar, while Matthew Lewis and Alfred Enoch spent their time playing cricket instead of doing homework. While they were on set, the actors were taught some very intricate wand choreography so they could properly portray the elite wand battling on screen! As for Fred and George Weasley, the actors who portrayed them, alongside Bonnie Wright, seemed to have a bit TOO much time on their hands when they were pulling pranks all over the set - especially one that actually involved a huge construction site across the road from their film studio!
There was one very big break taken during the shooting of the film - nine weeks in order for Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson to complete some major school exams! Speaking of Hermione and Harry - remember the scene where they were giggling incessantly with Ron discussing Harry’s kiss with Cho? That was pure laughter from the actors who by that point knew each other extremely well and were dear friends - the team kept the camera’s rolling and happened to include this improv in the final edit!
We’re covering all this and more including differences between the books and movies as well as some key directorial choices that made this movie the incredible film it was!
