What's left behind the scenes
- The film is based on J.K. Rowling's novel "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" (2003).
- The first trailer for the film appeared in US cinemas on November 17th at the premiere of the animated film "Happy Feet".
- In mid-2006, filming of the fifth film was interrupted for a month because Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson needed to take exams. This break cost Warner Bros. $4.8 million.
- Some scenes in "The Order of the Phoenix" were filmed in Scandinavia, as there was simply not enough snow in Scotland.
- At the Entrepreneurial Exchange charity gala, director David Yates auctioned off a small role in the fifth film, with all proceeds from the event going to a fund to help struggling African countries.
- Actress Miriam Margolyes, who plays Professor Sprout, as well as Miranda Richardson (Rita Skeeter), did not appear in "Order of the Phoenix".
- Contrary to producer David Heyman's statements, the role of the giant Grawp was not played by a computer-generated character, but by a real person, Tony Modsley.
- A special effects group from the Double Negative film company was invited to remove (using computers) pimples and stubble from the faces of the main characters in the fifth Potter film.
- Evanna Lynch was chosen for the role of Luna Lovegood from 15,000 applicants.
- Daniel Radcliffe visited a psychologist to prepare for filming, in order to understand how someone who survived feels after losing a loved one.
- The 127-page script for 'Order of the Phoenix' was found in a rather dubious location by the side of the road. Warner Bros. tracked down the negligent employee.
- In mid-October 2006, the film crew was supposed to work in Italy, but Warner Bros. denied this information, stating that the filming location had become known to all 'Harry Potter' fans, which would interfere with the actors' normal work.
- Simultaneously with the release of the fifth film in standard format, it also appeared in IMAX theaters.
- J.K. Rowling herself firmly insisted that the house-elf Kreacher be kept, as he is important for the further storyline.
- Artist Stuart Craig, a three-time Academy Award winner, based the design on early 20th-century London Underground stations. Craig liked how the designers of the old stations imitated classical architecture while using ceramic tiles to face the walls. This technique was borrowed when working on the film’s sets; over 30,000 tiles were used to face the atrium walls. Building the entire set took about 20 weeks. It was over 60m long, 36m wide, and almost 10m high.
- Also, for the first time in a Harry Potter film, a set entirely modeled on a computer appeared. This is the Hall of Prophecy, in which thousands of glass spheres containing the prophecies themselves stand on shelves stretching into infinity. Initially, the filmmakers seriously discussed commissioning 15,000 glass spheres to be placed on glass shelves.
- To combat film piracy, the film was distributed to cinemas under the false title "The Raven".
- When Arthur Weasley takes Harry to the Ministry of Magic, they must first enter a secret code on the telephone keypad. He enters the numbers 62442. The letters under these numbers on a standard mobile phone keyboard spell the word "magic".
- The scene of Harry Potter and Cho kissing was filmed in only 24 takes.
- Albus Dumbledore appeared in a new robe.
- The wizard Voldemort shatters the windows of the Ministry of Magic with a powerful burst of his destructive energy. Glass shards rain down on the atrium. John Richardson's team from Special Effects worked on this scene. To create the desired effect, hundreds of panes of glass had to be broken. The shards falling directly on the actor playing Voldemort were made of silicone, not glass, to avoid injury. Specialists from the MPC studio supplemented the episode with digital rain of falling shards and bursting windowpanes, intensifying the picture of the nightmarish explosion.
- A total of 11 studios worked on the special effects. They created over 1400 shots with visual effects for the film, including duels with wands, fantastic Patronuses, kittens meowing in paintings, unforgettable fireworks, and fire-breathing monsters such as a dragon and a serpent. The giant fiery serpent created by Voldemort during the battle, and the fire-breathing dragon, were made by the MPC studio, which used animated digital objects and programs in combination with lighting, pyrotechnic, and smoke effects.
- Towards the end of the scene where Harry, Ron, and Hermione discuss Harry’s kiss with Cho, the actors start to “break” and giggle. They genuinely ruined the take, but the director left their laughter in the film, as he found it very fitting for the situation.
