Mid-Day was able to visit the set of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix at Leavesden Studios, London, where they caught up with director David Yates and actors Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter) and Katie Leung (Cho Chang). While Yates discusses what qualities he brings into the series and how he was approached for the directing position, Radcliffe and Leung speak about the already infamous kissing scene Harry and Cho are involved in and how their characters have evolved since the last film. The interview also outlines the more gritty and grown-up nature of the upcoming film.

I prefer Obama to McCain. Now, McCain’s better than average for a Republican. And though his ads are intellectually offensive, he’s just bowing to his campaign masters and would calm down and be more sane once in office and not campaigning. But I have a few concerns with McCain on foreign policy. He’s not a full-fledged Neocon. That’s good. He opposed Reagan on Lebanon. Good. He was critical of Bush’s initial strategy in Iraq. That’s good. But there’s a problem. He thinks the Vietnam war was winnable and that the US shouldn’t have withdrawn. He’s also eager to spread democracy with force. This just isn’t a good set of beliefs for inheriting Iraq.
