HPANA was in attendance at the press conference for theHarry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix movie which took place in London earlier today. Stars Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint, producer David Heyman, director David Yates and screenwriter Michael Goldenberg attended and answered questions from the media.
The first press conference with Dan, Emma and Rupert lasted 45 minuets and each answered questions about their life, the movies, the last book and their characters and what they want to do after the series has ended.
Some highlights:
You can listen to all of the press conference at the links below (please remember to right-click and save target as…)
After the first press conference we had a chance to hear from producer David Heyman, director David Yates and screenwriter Michael Goldenberg where we heard officially from the David’s that David Yates was directing the sixth movie, which starts filming in September.
Some highlights from the second press conference:
You can listen to the audio from this conference at the links below (please remember to right-click and save target as…).
You can also read an additional report of the press conference here
. Another interview with Rupert can be read here
where he talks about the director, being disappointed with no Quidditch in the movie and the atmosphere on set. Here
is an interview with director David Yates from the event. Have to also mention that Katie Leung (Cho Chang) appeared at the hotel after the press conference and was very much incognito.
Was there a difference in how you were directed by Yates to achieve that?
Rupert: I dunno, really. Probably sort of subtle little things. I think, just on the whole, 'cause we've been doing it so long, got to know each other more we're probably more relazed with each other.
I think, also, that he used contemporary music he used (during filming) of some of the Common Room scenes. Like a band called The Ordinary Boys, he'd play that in the Common Room and that gives it some sort of more casual feel.
It's a really good atmosphere as well because he's a really nice guy, really laid back and calm.
So, there wasn't as much pressure for you...
Rupert: Definitely. Well, there's always a little bit of pressure, but it was a really good atmosphere, yeah.
Stay tuned for HPANA’s review of the movie on July 11th as well as part 2 of our report from our set visit last year.

Oooh I read the report and there are some good tidbits in there! I can see the threads popping up now debating who that character that almost got cut is? I think Grawp is a good bet.
Hee hee, I also like Rupert's comments regarding what he will do after HP. 'he wants to continue to act and “if it doesn’t work out I still have the ice cream van, I suppose.”' Ha ha, nice one Rupert!

Thats so cool. The interviews sound very interesting. I can't wait to see clips from them. I really like Emmas hair, but it looks like all three of them are cursed by the monster of questionable outfits. I'm not a big fan of what they're wearing. But then again, they're European and you never except what theyre gonna wear.

I love Emma hair. I love that color on her, she looks so pretty. But what is with Daniel hair, I think he cut it a little too wierd. Don't you guys agree?

WOAH.... That second bullet freaked me out.
"Emma touched briefly on her late decision to resign for the remaining movies"
That would be re-sign, as she is signing her contracts again, NOT resign as in to quit. I got totally freaked out there.

Geri, I'm having the same problem-the interview with the trio works fine, but the second part of the interviews with the crew will not open.

Squims & others -- I've checked the link & can download from the site perfectly to hear them. I'll look into though to see if I can find out what is wrong. Keep trying though.

same here, cant get it up either: Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The Player might not support the file type or might not support the codec that was used to compress the file.
Also tried with realplayer and windows media player
