Harry Potter and the Behind-The-Scenes Clips
Nothing says Christmas like witchcraft and wizardry, and it is NEVER too early to start getting little kids excited about Harry Potter. So it's little surprise that the thirteen clips from behind the scenes of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (which aired this weekend during ABC Family's broadcast of Sorcerer's Stone and Chamber of Secrets) are dominating the YouTube charts.
The clips are too short to glean much from, but the tidbits gathered are pretty entertaining. Imelda Staunton, who plays the sweetly villainous Delores Umbridge, talks about how much she enjoys wearing pink. Helena Bonham Carter sexes up her standard goth queen look. And Emma Watson talks about how Hermonine's not afraid to kick Ron's ass. One thing made clear: in a series about a teenage boy, it's the girls who rock the hardest.
The clips also emphasize that without special effects, nothing looks sillier than grown men and women spinning about and waving wands at each other. However, special effects have never been this series's weakness, and while Order of the Phoenix is the longest and most complicated of the Harry Potter books, if properly abridged it'll be pretty awesome in movie form. Especially the bits where awkward teenagers have to kiss each other. Ah, young wizard love.
