Filming update: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

From Darkhorizons, 'Filming has been underway for five weeks on "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" and producer David Heyman confirmed to Empire Online that plans are to continue filming through til mid-May, then break for two months, then continue on from July through til October or November.

At present various scenes involving centaurs and Hagrid's giant brother Grawp have been filmed. Actor Daniel Radcliffe says "The new director's fantastic. I've never been quite this pushed before, so regularly. He's really pushing Harry's emotional and psychological journey. But he also seems to have an incredible eye for sets and shoots and things".

Heyman also talked about cutting out material from the mammoth fifth book - "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. It always kills me, but you have to do it. 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."'
