David Yates talks OOTP and more
David Yates talks OOTP and more The LA Times has a new article on the Order of the Phoenix movie, quoting director David Yates, Dan Radcliffe, and Emma Watson.
During one particularly emotional scene in this installment, Radcliffe recalls [Gary] Oldman [Sirius Black] saying to him: "'Dan, do you mind if I do something sort of physical with you before we start?' I was like, 'No, no,' assuming he meant giving me a hug. He came up to me and grabbed me and shook me really, really hard. As he went away, he kept eye contact. And tears started to form up. I had no idea how it happened, but it worked."
Emma also mentioned that Yates is perfect for this film: "I don't know if he could have directed any of the other ones. This was his story to tell."

Also, in an article previewing some of this summer's movies, USA Weekend writes about how Luna Lovegood actress Evanna Lynch made her own radish earrings (which we told you previously) for use in the film.
The costume department on the film hired several jewelry designers to make the earrings, but Evanna Lynch, the young actress who plays Luna, was so into the character that she made her own. "And they were better!" says costume director Jany Temime. "More artsy-craftsy, more like what a creative young girl would do. The stuff we had was too professional. So we used hers."

Wow, Gary Oldman... He really knows this stuff doesn't he? Wow...

Dragonprincess25: loling hard at your comment. Well, that is true... hehehe, poor Dan! I'm guessing getting suddenly shaken by your favorite actor and then staring creates a shock effect that is like, WTF was that for?! lol =D Good job to Yates, Oldman, Radcliffe, and Evanna!

Dragonprincess25 wrote: "It's Gary Oldman remember, the guy was probley drunk on the set when he did that. " What a dimwitted thing to say. I hope you were kidding. If not, it makes sense that your spelling is that of a 4-year-old, and your judgement is just as infantile. Yes, Gary Oldman makes no secret that he was a raging alcoholic in the past, but it's well-known he's on the wagon these days. Do you think the WB would let him be on the set with CHILDREN if he were still pissed as a newt? I wish people would keep their dumb opinions about the actors' personal lives to themselves.

lol ohh how cute dan is cry! ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh thats sexy Lol....then again everything about him is...... haha nice evanna make me some lighting bolt earings wait i already have some YAY. not even kidding they are amazing i wear them all the time.


Posted by GingerPotterGirl May 6th 2007

WOW!Is not everyday that we see such an amazing actor like Gary Oldman who already said adores Dan. I guess he did this to show him how can be a good actor in the future.No wonder I think Gary Oldman is an amazing actor! I'm sure this is a good way for him to put Dan's emotion exposed! And cool for Evanna! I think she'll be perfect as Luna!


Posted by fantfreak May 6th 2007

Evanna Lynch ROCKS!

I_loverz_hp: I found this hot pic of dan from 2005 in the mugglenet gallery, look under Actors-Daniel Radcliffe-Photoshoots-200 5-Entertainment weekly. Look at the one when he's by himself in a forest in a sexy pose.


Posted by seventhsoul May 6th 2007

whoa, it kinda sounded like Umbridge shaking Marietta, except 4 a diff. reason! kinda weird, but cool. and that's awesome how Evanna made her own earrings! i wonder what materials she used. . . i wanna make some!


Posted by SybillT May 6th 2007

As excited as I was to read about Movie 5, all I could focus on was the tons of "sexual politics" Yates said is in Movie 6!!!!!! Bring on the Won-Won/Lavender and the Harry/Ginny!!!


Posted by Viperousmullein May 6th 2007

Omg...first the man-**** and now "something sort of physical". Gary, you really do scare me sometimes.


Posted by princeofdarkness May 6th 2007

kewl, gary gets high fives for that; i really hope they don't overdo Luna (which they will, grrr) its like ive already seen the darn movie, im already critiquing it... im crossin my fingers for u anywayz david....


Posted by Vivian May 6th 2007

I love that Evanna Lynch made her own radish earrings. That is just great.


Posted by Rowena_R May 6th 2007

That's really cool how she made her own earings. And they were better than professional!


Posted by performingmonkey May 6th 2007

That's really good what Gary Oldman did because it will inject some reality into the scene. It's very easy for them to just put fake tears in an actor's eyes and then for the actor to pretend to look sad but it takes more to get a bit of real emotion out. I hope this was for the part where Sirius bites it, it looks pretty intense just from the quick shot we got in the trailer. We are extremely lucky to have great actors like Oldman and David Thewlis in these roles. IMO they are PROPER actors. And Oldman can play just about anything, just check his range of roles from Hannibal to The Fifth Element to playing Gordon in Batman Begins.

Posted by potter_fan2 May 7th 2007

whoa... that is like so weird of Gary Oldman to do that. that is like the weirdest way to make someone tear up. that's retarded actully... they should just give him eye drops to use or something... but shaking him, I don't know that's sort of 'Umbridge like' if you know what i mean! man they must really want him to cry if they're like shaking him really really hard! man, poor daniel radcliffe though... has to go through stuff like this just for the movie. but i bet the movie is going to be awesome though!!!! whoo can't wait! just a couple months!! lol can't wait for the book either!! awesome!


Posted by fell4snape May 7th 2007

Two excellent bits of news there. These people are obviously all just wacky enough to be in Harry Potter. Too bad I'm not British. :*[ Go Evanna! I wants me some radish earrings. Takes some kinda creativity to make em yourself. Sounds like they've got the right girl for Luna.


Posted by kayks8 May 7th 2007

Physical... hahaha. When I first read that part I stopped and went poor Daniel and then I read the rest and went oh, never mind. When I here the word physical I don't think of a simple hug.


Posted by sirius_rox May 7th 2007

Great! :) can't wait to see OotP! :)


Posted by jasmine May 8th 2007

Didn't any of your read the entire article in the LA times? That Gary shaking Dan bit is old news. What they are all arguing in TLC is how Dan compared Harry to a Vietnam War veteran. He also mentioned that Fudge is like Blair. David Yates must have been a big influence on Dan for him to become so political.


Posted by hogwartsempress May 8th 2007

lol i'm agreeing with DragonPrincess lol... When I read that I was like... 'Er... Child Molest??' Becuase I watched the 3rd movie interviews and he sounded slightly *cough* Gay *cough* but I read through it more and started to laugh lol. He SHOOK HIM??? and DAN CRIED??? THEY STARED??? *faints* shocker there! I know Dan cried when Sirius *SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILERSPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILERSPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILERSPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILERSPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER* Dies*SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILERSPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILERSPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER * but when their leaving the train station?? And They messed it up too. Sirius is supposed to transform into a dog and not just 'arrive' at the platform.. *cough* mind that whole spoiler thing.. But it's for people that havent read the book if there are any...*cough* Sorry I read the books like once a month and I now need a whole new set.. (I'm thinking of getting the American versian becuase there is apparantly a scene that UK versian didn't have??? Plus Pictures *gasp!!*) Lissie

I saw that on tv last week (the part about harry) I think it was behind the scenes on E! so look out for it if you want to actually hear daniel radcliff describing it in person. evanna seems perfect for the role of luna so far which is good...lets see what happens in the movie


Posted by hedwig101 May 10th 2007

I wish the movie would hurry and come out!


Posted by cheers_watermelon May 11th 2007

awww that is so cute that dan thought he was getting a hug and evanna is sooooo cool for making her own earrings!!!
