On December 12th 2009, a special "BD-Live" screening event of the film was held for owners of the movie on Blu-Ray, a first of its kind. It allowed people to watch the film on Blu-Ray, while listening live to
Daniel Radcliffe
and producer
David Barron
(sitting in for director Yates, who was ill) who were watching and administering the event. There they discussed various aspects of the entire franchise, while the film was showing, and even had some questions from viewers to address. Among the all too few trivia bits on this particular film they revealed during this screening are: The "Butterbeer" we see the students drinking in this film is actually a well known British fruit drink called J20, with fake foam added on top. However, an official "ButterBeer" is in the making for a planned Harry Potter theme park. The foam in Rons mouth in one scene is made of egg white. Dan admitted he never tries to go for "real tears" in any such scenes, by advice he got from actor
Kenneth Branagh
. Instead he relies on acting and "tricks of the trade" to get the desired effect across. The strange "fluid" in Dumbledores Pensive is entirely done with CG. That highly torturous fluid in the cave that Dumbledore drinks, this was really just some milk thinned down with water and then visually "tweaked" by the CG department. Barron commented that the films director and the composer tried "for months" to create a specific "Phoenix song" score which they felt would do its book description justice, for the scene where this bird leaves Hogwarts. Several different things were composed and tested, before they pretty much gave up trying and settled on this very basic score we now hear at the end of the film.
c.

Despite the danger from being swept away they persisted with the work while wearing rubber suits.
d.
Naoh Hathaway was due to appear in the Broadway show "Chaplin" alongside
Gene Kelly
and
Ann Margaret
, but opted to do "The Neverending Story" instead. He had been cast in the film, then the original director was fired, and when Wolfgang Petersen was hired, Noah was immediately re-hired.
