Where was Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix filmed
Filming country: United Kingdom
The first movie in the franchise that shows such an abundance of locations outside of the Dursley house in Little Winging and Hogwarts. Since author J.K. Rowling wrote the book about Britain, all of the locations that appear in the movie are British or filmed at a studio located in London. But even familiar locations from the previous movies are filmed differently in this one, for example, Hagrid's hut - it is clearly in a new place and it is shown from different angles, showing large hills around.
Sirius Black's house
In movie
Scene where Mad-Eye Grym leads Harry and his friends to the Order of the Phoenix's secret hideout. It is located in Sirius Bleak's house and is not accessible to Muggles. At the moment when the company appears in the right place the neighboring houses move away and the right house appears.
Timing: 00:10:33
Real
Scene was shot in Clermont Square, London. Sirius Black's house appears between houses 22a and 23a. It is a quiet neighborhood of upscale homes, in keeping with the status of the Black family. Only the location among the Muggles raises questions, which is a bit at odds with their position on the purebloodedness of wizards. Complicating the selection of location is the fact that the book gives a fictitious address.

Hagrid's Hut
In movie
Scene where Harry, along with Ron and Hermione, go to Hagrid's hut, where Dolores Umbridge has just left. Hagrid tells the trio that he was on Dumbledore's assignment to try to get the giants on the side of good so that they would not join the Dark Lord.
Timing: 01:18:00
Real
Scene was shot in the hills of the Ballachulish region, which is in the west of Scotland. This new location for the cabin is obviously darker than the green meadows in the first part, than the creators wanted to emphasize the transition of the whole film franchise to the dark narrative of the last parts.

Tube Station
In movie
Scene where Arthur Weasley accompanies Harry Potter to his hearing at the Ministry of Magic, but when they get down to the subway the roles are reversed and Arthur, who understands nothing of the Muggle world clearly needs help and instruction from a more experienced person.
Real
Scene was shot at Westminster Underground Station, a major passenger hub in the very center of London. The station was chosen for filming for two reasons - it corresponds to the geography of the action in the film, and the second - the station is built in a very modern style, which separately emphasized the inappropriateness of the image of Arthur Weasley in this place.

Forbidden Forest
In movie
Scene where Harry heads into the forest, noticing a Festral flying over the trees. There, among the animals, he spots Luna Lovegood. She tells him why she can see the Festrals as well as Harry, but the others can't. This calms him down a lot, as Harry was beginning to think he was going mad.
Timing: 00:43:50
Real
Scene was shot in the Burnham Beeches National Nature Reserve, which is located just outside London to the west of the city. The reserve was chosen for its easy access and for the gloom that this forest takes on in twilight and blue and white light.

Hogsmeade Station
In movie
Scene where students get off the train, get into carriages and head towards the castle. Only the first year students travel to Hogwarts by boat, and the older ones travel by carriage. This is why Harry hasn't seen the Festrals before. They are also seen by Luna, who tells Harry that only those who have seen death can see these creatures.
Timing: 00:29:22
Real
Scene was shot in Black Park, which is located in Buckinghamshire. The park is popular with filmmakers, chosen for its 'classic' English park look, as well as its convenient location. It is very close to Pinewood Studios, so it removes logistical problems for movie makers.
Slough
Ministry of Magic
In movie
Scene where Arthur Weasley escorts Harry to the Ministry of Magic, where a hearing on his case is to be held. The entrance is located in a red phone booth, which is located on a street in London. To do this, they go into the box and call a certain number (hello Matrix).
Timing: 00:18:31
Real
Scene was shot on Great Scotland Yard, near Trafalgar Square. Naturally, there is no actual phone booth here, as they are no longer in demand and remain only in some places for the amusement of tourists.
London
Playground
In movie
Scene where Harry is swinging on a swing, taking a sweltering day before heading off to Hogwarts. But then Dudley shows up with a group of teenagers and they start bullying Harry, provoking him into aggression. At that moment the weather suddenly turns bad, Dudley thinks it's Harry's magic, but in fact it's the appearance of a dementor.
Timing: 00:01:35
Real
Scene was shot on Warner Bros. studio in London, the entire set is a movie set. The site was made sandy, without vegetation to show that the summer was hot, and also it gives an additional effect when the color changes from bright orange color correction of the frame, emphasizing the yellow sand and scorched plants to dark with shades of blue and green at the moment of Dementor's appearance.

In movie
Scene where Harry Potter, accompanied by Sirius in the guise of a dog and the Marbles, arrives at the train station to take the train to Hogwarts, but before he does he says goodbye to Sirius, who in a short dialog tells him the history of the Order of the Phoenix. And before boarding the train, he has a vision of Voldemort in his classic black suit.
Timing: 00:26:40
Real
Scene was shot at a train station in the heart of London, King's Cross - this particular station was the prototype in the book and is where all the station scenes in the franchise were filmed. Historically opened in 1852, it is the terminus of several major rail lines running throughout the UK. In 2005, the station underwent a major refurbishment which included a new arched concourse for train departures.
