Filming took place in England and Scotland for exterior locations and [[Warner Bros.

While staying at the Dursleys', [[Harry Potter (character)|Harry Potter]] and [[Dudley Dursley]] are attacked by [[Dementors]]. Harry repels them using a [[Patronus Charm|Patronus]] spell. The [[Ministry of Magic]] detects Harry using magic and expels him from [[Hogwarts]], though he is later exonerated.
The [[Order of the Phoenix (fictional organisation)|Order of the Phoenix]], a secret organisation<!-- NOTE: British English ("organisation") is used in this article, NOT American English ("organization") --> founded by [[Albus Dumbledore]], informs Harry that the Ministry of Magic is attempting to stonewall rumors about [[Lord Voldemort]]'s return. At the Order's headquarters, Harry's godfather, [[Sirius Black]], mentions that Voldemort seeks an object he previously lacked; Harry believes it to be a weapon.
Minister for Magic [[Cornelius Fudge]] has appointed [[Dolores Umbridge]] as Hogwarts new [[Defence Against the Dark Arts]] professor. Umbridge's refusal to teach defensive spells causes her and Harry to clash. Harry is forced to write lines for "lying" about Voldemort; a magic quill etches the words into his hand as he writes. Ron and Hermione are outraged, but Harry refuses to tell Dumbledore, who has distanced himself from Harry. As Umbridge gains more control over the school, Ron and Hermione help Harry form "[[Dumbledore's Army]]", a secret group to teach students defensive spells. Umbridge recruits [[Slytherin]]s for an Inquisitorial Squad to spy on the other students. Meanwhile, Harry and [[List of Harry Potter characters#Cho Chang|Cho Chang]] develop romantic feelings for each other.
One night, Harry envisions [[Arthur Weasley]] being attacked at the Ministry, seeing it from the attacker's perspective. Concerned that Voldemort will exploit this connection to Harry, Dumbledore has [[Severus Snape]] teach Harry [[Occlumency]] to defend his mind from Voldemort's influence. During a lesson, Harry sees Snape's memories of how his father, [[James Potter (character)|James]], bullied and tormented Snape in school. The connection between Harry and Voldemort further isolates Harry from his friends. Meanwhile, [[Bellatrix Lestrange]], Sirius's deranged [[Death Eater]] cousin, escapes [[Azkaban]] prison along with nine other [[Death Eaters]]. At Hogwarts, Umbridge and her Inquisitorial Squad expose Dumbledore's Army. Dumbledore, falsely accused of forming it, escapes as Fudge orders his arrest. Harry believes Cho betrayed Dumbledore's Army to Umbridge, ending their budding relationship. Umbridge becomes the new Headmistress.
Harry experiences a vision that Voldemort is torturing Sirius. Harry, Ron, and Hermione rush to Umbridge's office to alert the Order via the [[Floo Network]]. Umbridge catches them and, as she is about to severely punish Harry, Hermione claims Dumbledore has hidden a "secret weapon" in the [[Forbidden Forest (Harry Potter)|Forbidden Forest]]. She and Harry lead Umbridge to where [[Rubeus Hagrid|Hagrid]]'s giant half-brother, [[Grawp]] is kept. The [[Centaur (Harry Potter)|centaurs]] confront them and kidnap Umbridge after she insults and attacks them. Harry, Hermione, Ron, [[Luna Lovegood|Luna]], [[Neville Longbottom|Neville]] and [[Ginny Weasley|Ginny]] fly to the Ministry of Magic on [[Thestral]]s to save Sirius.
The six enter the [[Department of Mysteries]] and recover the object that Voldemort is after, a bottled prophecy labelled with Harry's name. Death Eaters ambush them, including [[Lucius Malfoy]] and Bellatrix Lestrange. Lucius reveals that Harry's vision of Sirius being tortured was a ruse to lure him there. Harry refuses to give Lucius the prophecy, and a fight ensues. The Death Eaters overpower the students and force Harry to surrender the prophecy. When Harry hands it to Lucius, Sirius and [[Remus Lupin]] arrive with Order members, including [[Nymphadora Tonks]], [[Kingsley Shacklebolt]] and [[Mad-Eye Moody]]. Lucius accidentally drops the prophecy during the chaos, destroying it. Just as Sirius overpowers Lucius, Bellatrix kills Sirius.
Voldemort appears, but moments before he can kill Harry, Dumbledore arrives. A violent duel erupts, destroying much of the Atrium, while Bellatrix escapes. The two wizards are evenly matched, so Voldemort possesses Harry's body, wanting Dumbledore to sacrifice him. The love Harry feels for his friends and family quickly drives out Voldemort. Ministry officials arrive before Voldemort [[Apparition (Harry Potter)|disapparates]]; Fudge admits that Voldemort has returned and resigns in disgrace. Umbridge is dismissed and Dumbledore returns as Hogwarts headmaster. Dumbledore explains he had distanced himself from Harry to prevent Voldemort exploiting their connection. He also reveals the prophecy. As he grieves Sirius's death, Harry tries to accept the prophecy: "Neither can live while the other survives."

===Visual effects===
The film required over 1,400 visual effects shots, and the London-based company [[Double Negative (VFX)|Double Negative]] created more than 950 of them. Working for six months on previsualisation starting in September 2005, Double Negative was largely responsible for sequences in the [[Room of Requirement]], the [[Locations in Hogwarts#Forbidden Forest|Forbidden Forest]], the [[Hall of Prophecies]], and the [[Ministry of Magic#Department of Mysteries|Death Chamber]].<ref name="vfxworld-pt1">{{cite news |url=http://www.vfxworld.com/?atype=articles&id=3362&page=1 |title=Order of the Phoenix: Escalating Potter VFX – Part 1 |date=1 August 2007 |access-date=2 August 2007 |last=Bielik |first=Alain |publisher=VFX World |archive-date=7 October 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071007205407/http://www.vfxworld.com/?atype=articles&id=3362&page=1 |url-status=live }}</ref>

===Music and soundtrack===
{{Main|Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (soundtrack)}}
[[Nicholas Hooper]] was the composer for the [[Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (soundtrack)|soundtrack]] of the film, following [[John Williams]], who scored the first three films, and [[Patrick Doyle]], who did the fourth. In the new score, Hooper incorporated variations on "[[Hedwig's Theme]]", the series' theme originally written by Williams for the first film and heard in all subsequent instalments.<ref name="fmw-darker-potter">{{cite journal |title=Hooper writes new themes for Potter |last=Carlsson |first=Mikael |date=8 May 2007 |journal=Film Music Weekly |issue=14 |pages=4 |url=http://www.filmmusicweekly.com/issues/FM_Weekly_050807.pdf |access-date=10 May 2007 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070724184656/http://www.filmmusicweekly.com/issues/FM_Weekly_050807.pdf |archive-date=24 July 2007}}</ref> In March and April 2007, Hooper and the Chamber Orchestra of London recorded nearly two hours of music at [[Abbey Road Studios]] in London.<ref>{{Cite news|last=Carlsson|first=Mikael|date=8 May 2007|title=Hooper writes new themes for Potter|page=4|work=Film Music Weekly|issue=14|url=http://www.filmmusicweekly.com/issues/FM_Weekly_050807.pdf|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070724184656/http://www.filmmusicweekly.com/issues/FM_Weekly_050807.pdf|archive-date=24 July 2007}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=Official Soundtrack Tracklisting|website=[[Discogs]]|url=https://www.discogs.com/Nicholas-Hooper-Harry-Potter-And-The-Order-Of-The-Phoenix-Original-Motion-Picture-Soundtrack/release/4358377|access-date=16 April 2021|archive-date=22 February 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210222111221/https://www.discogs.com/Nicholas-Hooper-Harry-Potter-And-The-Order-Of-The-Phoenix-Original-Motion-Picture-Soundtrack/release/4358377|url-status=live}}</ref> The score, like the film and book, is darker than previous instal<!--British spelling-->ments in the series. To emphasise this, the two new main themes reflect the sinister new character Dolores Umbridge, and Lord Voldemort's invasion of Harry's mind. A Japanese [[Taiko]] drum was used for a deeper sound in the percussion.<ref name="fmw-darker-potter"/> The soundtrack was released by [[Warner Bros. Records]] on 10 July 2007, the eve of the film's release.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.the-leaky-cauldron.org/?articleID=9649 |title="Order of the Phoenix" Soundtrack Due 10 July |date=26 March 2007 |access-date=26 March 2007 |publisher=The Leaky Cauldron |archive-date=24 July 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070724193231/http://www.the-leaky-cauldron.org/?articleID=9649 |url-status=live }}</ref> For his work on the film, Hooper was nominated for a World Soundtrack Discovery Award. The trailer prominently features the cues "Divine Crusade" by [[X-Ray Dog]] and "DNA Reactor" by [[Pfeifer Broz. Music]].
The film also featured the song "[[Boys Will Be Boys (The Ordinary Boys song)|Boys Will Be Boys]]" by [[The Ordinary Boys]] which played during a scene in the Gryffindor common room (at min. 31:35). According to Rupert Grint, David Yates used the song to create a more "casual" feel to the Common Room.<ref>{{Cite web |date=22 June 2007 |title=Audio Q&A from 'Order of the Phoenix' press conference |url=http://www.hpana.com/news.20003.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110429232026/http://www.hpana.com/news.20003.html |archive-date=2011-04-29 |access-date=2025-06-29 |website=HPANA |language=en}}</ref>
==Differences from the book==
<!-- This should be integrated into the rest of the article -->
At 766 pages in the British edition and 870 in the American edition, ''Order of the Phoenix'' is the longest book in the ''Harry Potter'' series, however the film is the second shortest.<ref name="ewdif">{{cite magazine |url=https://ew.com/article/2007/07/13/what-phoenix-leaves-out/ |title=What ''Phoenix'' leaves out |access-date=9 October 2007 |last=Daly |first=Steve |magazine=Entertainment Weekly |date=13 July 2007 |archive-date=13 October 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181013212620/https://ew.com/ew/article/0,,20045813,00.html |url-status=live }}</ref> Screenwriter [[Michael Goldenberg]] described his task to cut down the novel as searching for "the best equivalent way to tell the story. My job was to stay true to the spirit of the book, rather than to the letter".<ref name="salon-goldenberg">{{cite news |url=http://www.salon.com/ent/movies/feature/2007/07/11/goldenberg_qa/ |title=Harry Potter and the art of screenwriting |date=11 July 2007 |access-date=19 February 2022 |last=Traister |first=Rebecca |work=[[Salon.com]] |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110830132036/http://www.salon.com/entertainment/movies/feature/2007/07/11/goldenberg_qa/index2.html |archive-date=30 Aug 2011}}</ref> Goldenberg said that Rowling told him, the producers, and Yates that "she just wanted to see a great movie, and gave [them] permission to take whatever liberties [they] felt [they] needed to take to translate the book into a movie she would love".<ref name="salon-goldenberg"/> Cutting down the book to meet the time frame of the film, Goldenberg explained, became "clearer when [he] figured out that the organising principle of the screenplay was to narrate Harry's emotional journey".<ref name="salon-goldenberg"/> He and Yates "looked for every opportunity to get everything [they] could in there. And where [they] couldn't, to sort of pay homage to it, to have it somewhere in the background or to feel like it could be taking place off-screen".<ref name="tlc-goldenberg">{{cite news |url=http://www.the-leaky-cauldron.org/2007/4/10/introducing-michael-goldenberg-the-ootp-scribe-on-the-em-harry-potter-em-films-franchise-and-fandom |title=Introducing Michael Goldenberg: The OotP scribe on the Harry Potter films, franchise, and fandom |date=9 April 2007 |access-date=15 September 2007 |publisher=The Leaky Cauldron |last=Anelli |first=Melissa |archive-date=16 October 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121016083703/http://the-leaky-cauldron.org/2007/4/10/introducing-michael-goldenberg-the-ootp-scribe-on-the-em-harry-potter-em-films-franchise-and-fandom |url-status=live }}</ref>
One cut Goldenberg had to make, which he "hated" to do, was the absence of [[Quidditch]], the Wizarding sport.<ref name="tlc-goldenberg"/> "The truth is that any movie made of this book, whoever made it, that had included the Quidditch subplot would have been a lesser film", he said.<ref name="salon-goldenberg"/> In the book, Ron grows as a character by trying out for the Quidditch team. "Ron facing challenges and coming into his own in the same way that Harry is, we tried to get that into the film in other ways, as much as possible. So, you feel like, if not the details of that story, at least the spirit of it is present in the film".<ref name="tlc-goldenberg"/> The change disappointed actor [[Rupert Grint]] who had been "quite looking forward to the Quidditch stuff".<ref name="secondew">{{cite magazine |title=''Phoenix'' Rising |date=6 April 2007 |magazine=Entertainment Weekly |url=http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20016352_3,00.html |last=Daly |first=Steve |page=3 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070406192720/http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20016352_3,00.html |archive-date=6 April 2007 |access-date=6 November 2020}}</ref>
In a significant scene in the book, Harry sees a memory of his own father humiliating Snape in their school days, and Snape insulting his mother after she stood up for him. In the film, it is abbreviated to an "idea", in Goldenberg's words. "It's an iconic moment when you realise your parents are normal, flawed human beings. ... Things get trimmed out, but I kept the meat of that in there – and that was what really gave me the coming-of-age story."<ref name="salon-goldenberg"/> Young [[Lily Potter]] did not appear at all, but promotional screenshots showed unknown teenager Susie Shinner in the role.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/tm_objectid=16664789%26method=full%26siteid=66633%26headline=magic%2dparents%2d-name_page.html |title=Magic Parents |date=4 February 2007 |access-date=15 September 2007 |publisher=[[Daily Record (Scotland)|Daily Record]] |archive-date=30 September 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070930033718/http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/tm_objectid%3D16664789%26method%3Dfull%26siteid%3D66633%26headline%3Dmagic-parents--name_page.html |url-status=live }}</ref>
The scene at [[St Mungo's (Harry Potter)|St Mungo's]], the hospital where Harry and friends run into classmate Neville Longbottom and learn that his parents were tortured into insanity by Bellatrix Lestrange, was cut because it required the construction of a new set.<ref name="salon-goldenberg"/> The main purpose of the action of the scene was relocated to the [[Room of Requirement]] after one of Dumbledore's Army's lessons. Also, to speed up the film's climax, several events in the Ministry leading up to Harry's battle with Voldemort were removed, including the brain room.<ref name="ewdif"/> Mrs. Weasley's encounter with a [[Boggart (Harry Potter)|boggart]] at [[Grimmauld Place]], Ron, Hermione and Draco becoming prefects, the appearance of [[Mundungus Fletcher]], and [[Firenze (Harry Potter)|Firenze]] teaching [[Divination (Harry Potter)|Divination]] followed suit.<ref name="secondew"/>
The character of Kreacher the house-elf, who was included in the script only at Rowling's request, has a larger part in the book than the film.
