Deathly Hallows filming preparation underway
Deathly Hallows filming preparation underway Back in May we told you that filming in the beautiful landscapes of Lochaber was expected to start late this year. Lochaber News is now reporting that filming scouts are observing the area and getting ready for b-roll shoots:

Film executives and location and special effects personnel have just completed an updating recce of the four picturesque glens which have featured in all the previous Harry Potter blockbusters.

They were researching the eventual making of not one but two movies out of JK Rowling's seventh and last best seller, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, which was published last year. Teams of cinematography experts and production designers visited Glenfinnan, Glen Etive, Glencoe and Glen Nevis, all Lochaber landmarks which have already become established in the series.


As we learned earlier this year, cast filming for Deathly Hallows will not begin until February.

Posted by Slytherin15 Nov 20th 2008

omg omg omg I CANT WAIT!! i wanna see a trailer soon!!! top 10?


Posted by DeathlyHallows_07 Nov 20th 2008

Awsome---but at the same time this is real depressing. Just think about it- we'll be getting DH pictures before we even see HBP :( that really sucks...we should be seeing HBP tomorrow- tomorrows going to be a really sad day


Posted by miraa302 Nov 20th 2008

I cannot wait for DH to be a movie! I wonder how it's goint to turn out! 10th


Posted by merrymarge Nov 20th 2008

People still talk about DH being two separate movies. I thought it was one movie, split in two, there is a difference. Actually, they should have split it like Gone with the Wind. One movie, with an intermission. Shown on the same day. Then they could still get everything in. GWTW was originally eight hours. They were able to edit it down to four and audiences sat thru it all. DH should have been down the same way. Six months between two parts doesn't make sense. Yeah it's for the money. But, they could have down it another way. Done deal, don't complain. People can complain still about HBP being moved, I can complain about DH.


Posted by kershaw77 Nov 20th 2008

Is anyone gonna post pictures of the landscape areas where they will be filming? That'd be great to see.


Posted by CROOKSHANKS99 Nov 20th 2008

Posted by Ruubski Nov 20th 2008

Posted by dobbyXkreacher Nov 20th 2008

tomorrow will be a sad day in my life. what would've been one of the greatest days of my life has been postponed until SUMMER becasue WARNER BROTHERS are BIG FAT JERKS!


Posted by AliciaJonae05 Nov 20th 2008

Wouldn't it be a shock to us ALL if they did release HBP tomorrow? I would be SOOOOO happy! :) But, as we all know, that's NOT going to happen! *whaaa* :'(


Posted by trueligth Nov 20th 2008

I can wait to see HBP and the two DH. This is longest wait for any fan to wait for a movie. I be looking forward to see Twiligth because the day of the release of the HBP day before, let's hope everything is good.


Posted by MousieButtons Nov 20th 2008

I am soo depressed right now. As I speak I should be sitting in a dark movie theatre watchin HP6. But oh no, WB have to be jerks!!!! Screw you WB. You're complete morons for doing what you did. You bunch of selfish greedy b****rds.


Posted by I_heart_Sirius Nov 26th 2008

Posted by angelina_johnson92 Nov 26th 2008
