Movie Trivia

• Nominated for two BAFTA film awards.

• The Department of Mysteries set marks the first time that a totally computer-generated set was used throughout the movie. Building the set practically is too expensive since an estimation of 15000 crystal balls are needed and it will take a lot of time to clean and setup again if a retake is required.

• Imelda Staunton was the producer’s only choice for the role of Umbridge. She and costume designer Jany Temime came up with the idea of making her dress more padded and more saturated as the film progresses. The novel describes her being physically chubby and like a toad.

• The Room of Requirement was described as a room with no beginning nor end. To achieve the sense of infinity, the effects crew spent 5 months designing the room by having rotatable mirrors installed that would minimize camera and crew reflection as well as to avoid the Hall of Mirrors effect (a common term in CG). Also, another problem on the set is that the lighting underneath the grille was quite bright to generate reflection; so the floor had to be in black, cast members had to have black velvet covering their shoe soles while the crew has to wear blue surgical shoes to prevent treading dust onto the floor set.

• The film's fake working title was called Tip-Top.

• Professor Umbridge, though she teaches in a classroom that has appeared in films two through four, inhabits an office vastly different from those of her predecessors. The set was redressed with "fluffy, pink filigree," including a carpet that cost £50,000 to make, and a number of plates upon which moving kittens were animated in post-production. A 24-hour photo shoot was held to photograph and film the kittens for use on these plates. Even the elegant quill which Umbridge gives Harry to write lines using his own blood was designed by the set designers.

• Release prints were delivered to theaters with the fake title 'The Raven'.

• According to the original script, the character of Kreacher was not intended to be in this film at all. But after J.K Rowling read the script, she more or less insisted on him needing to be there to avoid some serious problems with future installments of the series. So, even if Kreacher still has no noticeable impact on the plot or story as it's presented in the film, a couple of scenes with him were added at the last minute based on this request.

• Broke the Wednesday opening day record previously held by Spider-Man 2 with a 44.2 million dollar domestic gross.

• Was released in 4,181 US theaters. A record for a Warner Bros. release.

• Had the biggest IMAX opening ever, pulling in $1.9 million.

• Harry's, Ron's and Hermione's signatures for the Dumbledore's Army roster are the same signatures seen in the US version of the books.

• In the scene where Harry, Ron, and Hermione are discussing Harry's kiss with Cho, the three begin to crack up near the end of the scene. This was all real laughter from the three actors. The director thought it was good for the scene and kept rolling.

• Had the biggest first-day gross of a "Harry Potter" movie.

• During the breakfast scene in the Great Hall, a box of cereal can be seen with the name Pixie-Puffs with a color scheme similar to that of a Sugar Puffs box.

• The only jinx we see Neville Longbottom use successfully against an enemy (Petrificus Totalus), 'just happens' to be the very same jinx Hermione used on him in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.

• Although based on the longest book in the seven book series, this is the shortest movie in the Harry Potter film series.

• When they discover the Room of Requirement, Ron asks if it could become a bathroom if the user really needed it. This is a reference to the novel Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. In it, the Room of Requirement is mentioned for the first time, having become a lavatory for Dumbledore.

• The only Harry Potter film not written by Steve Kloves.

• The first Harry Potter film to be released in IMAX 3-D.

• The fifth of eight movies based on the Harry Potter book series by J.K. Rowling.
