On December 12, 2009, a special "BD-Live" screening event of this movie was held for owners of the movie on Blu-ray, a first of its kind. It allowed people to watch this movie on Blu-ray, while listening live to Daniel Radcliffe and David Barron (sitting in for David Yates, who was ill), who were watching, and administering the event. There they discussed various aspects of the entire franchise, while the movie was showing, and even had some questions from viewers to address. Amongst the all too few trivia bits on this particular movie they revealed during this screening are: The "Butterbeer" the students drink in this movie is actually a well-known British fruit drink called "J2O", with fake foam added on top. However, an official "ButterBeer" is in the making for a planned Harry Potter theme park. The foam in Ron's mouth in one scene was made of egg white. Daniel admitted he never tries to go for "real tears" in any such scenes, by advice he got from Kenneth Branagh. Instead, he relies on acting and "tricks of the trade" to get the desired effect across. The strange "fluid" in Dumbledore's Pensive was entirely done with CGI. That highly torturous fluid in the cave that Dumbledore drinks, was really just some milk thinned down with water and then visually "tweaked" by the CGI Department. Barron commented that David Yates 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 the 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 movie.
