Harry Potter and The OotP (Updated)

[Blackmagik]

Tentative Release Date: June 2007
Director: David Yates
Screenwriter: Michael Goldenberg

Order of the Phoenix information
We currently have sparse information on the fifth movie, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. The tentative release date for the film is 2007, although what part of 2007 remains unknown. The two likeliest chances are either June 2007 or November 2007. Movies 3 and 4, Prisoner of Azkaban and Goblet of Fire, are taking approximately a year and a half to complete. Prisoner of Azkaban came out in June 2004, and Goblet of Fire will come out in November 2005. Warner Bros. seems to be comfortable with releasing one of the Harry Potter movies at the beginning of the summer or in mid-November. Order of the Phoenix is the longest book so far at 890 pages, which may result in a longer film. This would mean that the movie would take longer to complete, and may not be released until November 2007 (two years after Goblet of Fire is released), or later in the year.

Whether or not a fifth movie was going to be filmed was unsure until mid-April 2004, when a girl who applied to be an extra in Goblet of Fire received this response from casting assistant Fiona Weir:

Thank you very much for your letter. At present we have all our requirements filled for Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. However, should this situation alter in the future your details are on file to be referred to. Unfortunately we cannot accept applications outside of the United Kingdom.

Casting for Order of the Phoenix will not begin until next year and I can only suggest for you to look out for further notices on the official Harry Potter Website. In the meantime I hope you enjoy the next film - Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - when it is released this June.

We now know that casting for Order of the Phoenix will begin in the fall of 2005. At the moment, a casting director has not yet been appointed and no auditioning has begun. Currently, Daniel Radcliffe is the only actor who has signed on to film the movie. He will reprise his role as Harry Potter. We presume that many other actors from the first four films will indeed return for the fifth film.

Warner Bros. announced that David Yates would direct the film on November 18, 2004. Past Harry Potter directors Chris Columbus and Alfonso Cuarón have both expressed interest in returning to direct a later Potter film, but neither returned for the fifth film. (because im geussing the 5th is the longest and would be hardest)

Nice, it doesn't look like they're leaving a lot of the characters out. I can't wait to see how they're going to make Umbridge look... I hate that woman lol

I think Edie McClurg might be able to pull off the umbridge Role.

or Zelda Rubinstein if she's still alive.

You should put a space or hyphen or something between the actor name and character names so they are easier to read.
