Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix Purchase Order of the Phoenix at Amazon
Though it may be a little awkward talking about the production of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix months before Goblet of Fire gets its shot in the theatres, this is a detail that just can't be passed up. Anytime a film passes up the $100 million mark [in budget], it is something worth mentioning if you are a fan or keeping quiet if you are a Warner Bros exec. But what can you say when the proposed budget skyrockets passed that number?

Harry Potter OotP Jumps to July


In the latest report from Variety, they discuss how the budget for blockbuster films has increased greatly over the years [duh!]. One of the films that gets an honorable mention is Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, which currently has a proposed budget of $150M and up.

Though this increased budget can only mean great things for Potter fans everywhere, is it really possible that Order of the Phoenix can have a greater budget than Goblet of Fire? Having read both books I would have thought that the sequences, special effects and settings for Goblet of Fire would have been enough to make it the most expensive Potter film ever.



Not that I am complaining, maybe they just plan to ensure that every detail is perfect and every special effect is nothing short of incredible. If this is true, can we please have a better-looking Phoenix? I am sick and tired of the one that looks like it was hijacked off the Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disneyland.

To check out the entire report on explosive budgets, head over to Variety.

Stay tuned for updates.
