The Lyons Den
Starring E! movie dude Ben Lyons
Ben Lyons and the Order of the Phoenix
I have to admit, until I hung on the London set recently and chilled with the cast and crew, I wasn't the biggest Harry Potter fan. I grew up playing soccer, basketball, baseball, golf, tennis—you name it. Never, at any age, was I into wizards and potions and magic. But being welcomed into the world of Hogwarts changed all that.
And never have I met a more accomplished, more genuine teenager than Daniel Radcliffe. I was his age once way back when, and I can't imagine how I would have handled all the fame and fortune. The kid's like a 47-year-old trapped in a 17-year-old's body.

Radcliffe and his posse have been working almost year-round on the Harry films for close to ten years now, already on the fifth installment. Order of the Phoenix throws some newcomers in the mix: George Harris (Layer Cake, Katanga from Indiana Jones) and Helena Bonham Carter are great additions to cast staples such as Emma Thompson, Rupert Grint, and Ralph Fiennes.
Check out the clip for deets of my first visit to a movie set and first time in London (where, on the street, I ran into Kate Winslet—so cool and classy). Unbelievable.
Where do I go from here?
