'Phoenix' filming info and pictures
We have been informed that Order of the Phoenix filming took place last week in a forest in Burnham Beeches, England (Robin Hood was also partially filmed there). The scene in question is where Hagrid introduces his fifth year class to Thestrals.
Also, HP4U has a report from recent Movie 5 filming at Virginia Waters. This is the scene in which some Ministry of Magic employees attack Professor McGonagall with Stunning Spells outside Hagrid's hut (near the end of the book). You can view some interesting pictures, which includes shots of some of the cast, from the set here, and more details on the actual filming can be read below (spoiler alert).

Fan report from the recent Order of the Phoenix filming at Virginia Waters:
There were two scenes being filmed today; both come at the end of HP5. First was the recovery of Professor McGonagall after her incident with the Death Eaters outside Hagrid's hut; also following the attack at the Ministry and Hogwarts.
Professor McGonagall is resting in her chair, reading the headline 'He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named returns' in her Daily Prophet whilst speaking to Hagrid (today it was Martin Bayford standing in for Hagrid). We couldn't hear the dialogue but he was obviously comforting her after being hit by so many hexes. Dame Maggie Smith looked absolutely wonderful, and the new robes, worn by both teachers and students, are great.
At the same time this scene was being shot, from both front and rear (with the camera rising up to Hagrid's chest only) the Slytherins were being filmed. They were talking about the aftermath of Voldemort's return, and Draco, of course, was the centre of attention. He declared that his father and other Death Eaters would no doubt now win the battle!
Despite the scenes being filmed over and over again, you couldn't wait to watch, it was such good fun.
During filming we also saw David Heyman, the producer, riding his bike to and from the set and also later on signing books for some boys and chatting.

cool spoilers!!!!
Thestrals? Awesome! I love the thestrals. I wish I could have one as a pet. Although it would probably come in handy if I could see them. Ok, take away the whole needing to see someone die thing, and then I'd really love one as a pet. Awesome pics!

Am I the only one who's having problems seeing the pictures? Or any pictures in the picture links for that matter? =/
