MTV has recently posted its latest "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix"
set report. It covers the overall plot of the fifth film, of course. Daniel Radcliffe not-so-subtly expresses how Harry appears during the trial at the Ministry.
Quote:
After his desperate battle with the reborn Voldemort at the close of "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire," the previous film in the series, you might think that the wizarding world would give Harry a hero's welcome and then unite with him to fight the Dark Lord. But in the forthcoming "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" — which opens July 11 — the wizard government is in spin mode, downplaying (and outright denying) Voldemort's return in order to not cause panic; the forces of evil are being ignored while the forces of good are discredited. And so, after Harry himself has been forced to commit an act of illegal underage magic in self-defense, the boy wizard has to defend himself in yet another way: by going to court at the Ministry of Magic. (The phone booth out of which he's stepped is the Minstry's secret entrance to the Muggle, i.e. non-wizarding, world.)
"That's why I'm looking like a square," Radcliffe joked, noting his button-down shirt. "Harry's put on his best shirt — well, we decided these are the Weasleys' clothes, which he's sort of been lent. And he's combed his hair. Sort of."
Along with the new label

, the report describes filming of the Number 12 Grimmauld Place and the Ministry of Magic scenes.
It also reports Rupert Grint, Emma Watson, Bonnie Wright, and James and Oliver Phelps filming the extendable ears scene.
Then, there is a three-part video with interviews with Daniel Radcliffe and David Yates, the film's director. The video also includes some footage of scenes actually being shot!
