Wales Online has a new profile on actor Steffan Rhodri, who has revealed he'll play the Ministry of Magic worker Reg Cattermole. Ron impersonates Reg when the trio sneak into the Ministry of Magic.

The article notes that he'll be headed to Leavesden Studios to film those scenes in the coming weeks.

In a new interview with The Daily Mail, Imelda Staunton (who plays Dolores Umbridge in Order of the Phoenix) briefly mentions returning for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows:

Another role that Staunton is to revive is that of the malicious Dolores Umbridge for the two-part film Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows, which is due out next year.

'Now, that is a great role,' she says with relish. 'It was wonderful playing this baddie dressed in pink, and to be able to play her again is a real treat.'

Her first Harry Potter was in 2007. Did it change her life?

'No, not really. I don't get chased down the street by hordes of kids. I still live a very normal life.

'The one good thing is that I get a lot more good scripts coming through my letterbox. Vera Drake raised my profile in one way, and then Harry Potter in another.'

On November 19th, 2010, the penultimate Potter film will be released in theaters.

While we still haven't received any official images or videos yet, you can bet that the next 12 months will be filled with all kinds of Deathly Hallows goodness.

Filming has been ongoing since January and is expected to continue for a few more months. For ALL we've got on Deathly Hallows (a cast/crew list, filming info, and much more) - click here!

It could technically be considered our first official look at Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows! Thanks to Portkey, we now have a piece of concept art from Deathly Hallows which is included in the Chamber of Secrets Ultimate Edition booklet.

There's a new interview online with Rupert Grint from the set of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

In it, Rupert talks about growing up with the cast, his relationship with Daniel, and a lot more! He notes that he's single at the moment. Hear that, ladies?!

You can watch it right here on YouTube. Thanks to Snitch Seeker for the tip.

Stay warm, wizard and witches! The Scotsman is reporting that a Scottish textile maker has been tapped to create pullovers and cardigans for use in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

While it's not the most exciting news story, it's nice to see that the team behind Potter is looking around the United Kingdom for businesses that could be beneficial to the production.

The cast and crew of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows paid tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice during World War I on Remembrance Day last Tuesday.

A crew member sent BBC Radio 5Live a text describing what happened on the set:

We're currently filming the final battle sequence of the last Harry Potter film, and we stopped for two minutes this morning. It was very eerie, it was thought-provoking, in the mists, along the ruins of Hogwarts.

Listen to the audio here. Thanks to Snitch Seeker!

A new interview with Jamie Campbell-Bower in Wonderland Magazine has revealed that the actor who plays Grindelwald recently completed a scene with an actor who will play Young Dumbledore for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

While Jamie couldn't remember who it was at the time, the magazine apparently looked into it and names Toby Regbo.

You can view scans of the article where Jamie revealed this information right here via Snitch Seeker. We're working on confirming Toby's role and will keep you updated!

Speaking at a press junket for his upcoming role in The Twilight Saga: New Moon, the actor who will play Grindelwald in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows had this to say about the two film franchises and his progress on the seventh Potter film:

"He's an old friend of Dumbledore's, a possible lover," offered Campbell Bower at the LA press day for New Moon.

Asked to compare the experience of working on Twilight with working on the Harry Potter franchise, Campbell Bower said, "The Twilight phenomenon cinematically is relatively young so there's still a lot of growth there to go with the film, and there's still a lot of connections to be made between cast and crew and stuff, whereas with Potter they've been going for 10 years now. It's a machine, Potter. You go in, you do your thing, and then you go on. Whereas with this, it's a lot more finding out about everything and a lot more exploration to do in general."

Campbell Bower's not quite done filming his scenes in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows yet. "At the moment, I've only worked on it for about a week. I think I've got another week and a bit to go," revealed Campbell Bower. "They're still working on it. They're shooting simultaneously because they've obviously got lots of time scheduled and they have to do both side by side. Whenever they can, they will do that, I think."

Speaking of New Moon, I run an awesome Twilight fansite called TwilightSource.com! Visit it if you like Twilight.

The actor who plays Mr. Ollivander in the Harry Potter series recently sat down with Rotten Tomatoes. In the interview, he reveals that he'll be heading back to the Deathly Hallows set sometime this month.

More interesting is where he voices his concern over Warner Brothers' large budgets for films in the Potter franchise:

Q: Do you think the big franchise movies shooting in the UK give a false impression of the health of our industry? All these productions move in and hire local talent, but they aren't British films.

A: No, they're not British films. Even Harry Potter isn't a British [franchise]. We gave it to Warners, we just sit and collect. That always infuriates me. I do think huge areas of the industry are being neglected and we've lost the ability for middle-budget films. When we did have a stronger industry -- and not just a business -- we did have room for middle-budget films. They've gone out of the window, as they've done in America as well, but a $20m picture would be wonderful to make every now and then. We could do a lot for that.

But it's like any country, if you don't have a lot of money to spend. And it's interesting seeing how much money gets spent on Harry Potter. It's quite absurd, really. I watch it and think it's just the same as Hollywood. I look around and you've got three costumes there, none of which are likely to be worn, and they're all replicas of each other. It's a vacuous waste of money and it drives me insane.

According to Times Online, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1 won't be the biggest film of 2010. They believe Iron Man 2 will be the biggest. Here's the reasoning for why Deathly Hallows won't take the top spot:

Part one of the final Harry Potter movie. Part two will follow in July 2011. Devoted fans have known what happens in the story since 2007; for newcomers, Harry and his pals Ron and Hermione search for some magical artefacts called Horcruxes. The plot takes the trainee wizards out of Hogwarts for much of the movie, resulting in a marked change of atmosphere compared to its predecessors.

Do you agree with Times Online? We sure don't! The Harry Potter franchise is the greatest earning franchise of all time, and a second Iron Man certainly won't earn more than a Potter flick.

On Wednesday we reported Chris Rankin's tweet about filming with 43 principal cast on the set of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

Since then, Tom Felton and Matt Lewis have sent out exciting tweets related to the filming of what we presume is the Battle of Hogwarts:

Tom Felton:
- G morning tweeps. Another big day on set. Very exciting! Playing my g tar waiting to be called to work. Love x

- Had a great day on set. This film will be EPIC! @Mattdavelewis was throwing jokes....I was catching them. He's a complete gent x

Filming for Deathly Hallows is expected to wrap up in Spring 2010. For more about the film, visit our info section.

Chris Rankin, the actor who plays Percy Weasley in the Potter series, updated his Twitter just a short time ago. It looks like a big scene for Deathly Hallows will be filmed tomorrow:

in the hotel, excited for filming in the morrow, but not excited for the 5am wake-up call... 43 principal cast on set tomorrow...!

43 major cast members on set! Someone start counting all of them. Battle of Hogwarts scene, perhaps?

UPDATE: The set report has been removed due to inappropriate content.

A brand-new Deathly Hallows set report has now appeared online detailing out the events and guests of the wedding at the Burrow between Fleur Delacour (Clemence Poesy) and Bill Weasley (Domhnall Gleeson).

Of "sizeable" note was one of the party's guests, Frances de la Tour, who plays Madame Maxime and last appeared in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. To this point, no mention had been made of her return for Deathly Hallows.

Additionally, the writer notes the "claw marks" across Bill's face (courtesy of Fenrir Greyback) and that George Weasley has a bandage over his missing ear (which Ron has replaced with his own drawing).

Finally, there are plenty of pictures taken of the Burrow set, as well as of random drawings outside of the Lovegood's home and inside Hermione's parents' house. This explains why Michelle Fairley was cast as Mrs. Granger, even though neither she nor Mr. Granger appear in the seventh book. The scene is being shot as a flashback where Emma Watson (Hermione) alters her parents memories.

What do you think of these recent developments?

Serbia.com is reporting that actor Rade Serbedzija will begin filming his role as Gregorovitch in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows next month. The article notes:

The Hertfordshire Mercury has a new interview online with James Williamson, who will be playing an unnamed Death Eater in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. In the interview, he discusses how he's been getting ready:

At the moment James does not know if he will have any lines. He will find out only when he begins filming on Thursday.

The former Bishop’s Stortford College student has been acting for the past seven years and regularly features in performances at Stevenage’s Gordon Craig Theatre. His latest performance was in Footloose.

The role will be a challenge for the young actor, who is used to playing good characters.

James said: “I’ve never played an evil character. I’ve done several comedy roles and usually get typecast as a well-spoken English man.”

When the Order of the Phoenix DVD was released close to two years ago, fans were treated to a nice look at Half-Blood Prince.

WB has decided to do the same with the Half-Blood Prince DVD and will include a sneak peek of Deathly Hallows. The feature was discovered when DVD Empire posted the back cover of the DVD on their website.

Remember: MuggleNet has a comprehensive Half-Blood Prince DVD info page that you can check out right here! Thanks to Maggie and Leaky for the tip.

Back in August our friends at UHP reported that actor, Ray Fearon, was rumoured to reprise his role as Firenze in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

Earlier this week we contacted Ray Fearon's agency, to see if they could shed any light on the situation. They responded to say that as of yet they have not been approached about this role and that currently this rumour is incorrect.

With just under 9 months of filming still to go, this could all change. With so many familiar faces returning, it is still likely that we may get to see our favourite Centaur on the screen one last time.

In the meantime be sure to check out our Deathly Hallows film section for a wealth of information, including an updated Cast list.
