<P> Other minor roles were cut with subsequent drafts of the script . At the US premiere of Goblet of Fire, series producer David Heyman said that former Hogwarts professor Gilderoy Lockhart, played by Kenneth Branagh in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, was in the first draft of the script for Phoenix . However, neither Branagh nor the character of Lockhart appears in the final version . Tiana Benjamin was scheduled to return for the film in the role of Angelina Johnson, the captain of the Gryffindor Quidditch team, but she had to withdraw due to a commitment to playing Chelsea Fox in EastEnders . The character, as well as the entire Quidditch subplot, was ultimately cut from the film . She did, however, record sound clips for the Order of the Phoenix video game . </P> <P> The family of footballer Theo Walcott made a cameo appearance in the film . They were signed on by director David Yates, who is the partner of Yvonne Walcott, Theo's aunt . Theo himself was due to appear alongside his family, though his commitments to Arsenal Football Club forced him to pull out . </P> <P> British television director David Yates was chosen to direct the film after Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire director Mike Newell, as well as Jean - Pierre Jeunet, Guillermo del Toro, Matthew Vaughn and Mira Nair, turned down offers . Yates believed he was approached because the studio saw him fit to handle an "edgy and emotional" film with a "political backstory", which some of his previous television projects including State of Play, Sex Traffic and The Girl in the Café demonstrated . Producer David Heyman supported Yates' comments about the film's political theme, stating that "(Order of the Phoenix) is a political film, not with a capital P, but it's about teen rebellion and the abuse of power . David has made films in the UK about politics without being heavy handed ." On the film's political and social aspects, Emma Watson stated that "somehow it talks about life after 7 July, the way people behave when they're scared, the way truth is often denied and all the things our society has to face . Facing the fact that the authority is corrupted means having a non-conformist approach to reality and power ." </P> <P> Steve Kloves, the screenwriter of the first four Potter films, had other commitments . Michael Goldenberg, who was considered to pen the first film in the series, filled in and wrote the script . </P>
