More info from HBP filming in Lacock
More info from HBP filming in Lacock UPDATE: New photos have appeared on BuzzNet.com where you can see actors Michael Gambon (Dumbledore) and Dan Radcliffe (Harry Potter) on this set!

Our friends at Leaky have been receiving various reports from readers who have visited the on-location filming of Half-Blood Prince in Lacock:

Ettie writes that "the part I saw was the walk to, and entry into the house. They did about 6 takes. When I left they were shooting them leaving the house, and you could hear Slughorn's voice agreeing to take the job and demanding a pay rise. Inside the doorway I could see a white staircase and light blue walls. Michael Gambon was really nice and took a moment to walk over and speak to some of the children and parents watching the set. He asked if everyone was cold and said he was freezing. He was wearing the gray robes he has worn before in other Potter films. Daniel was wearing trainers, T shirt and jacket."

For more information from the set, click here. Filming continues through Saturday morning and we'll continue to bring you new information as we receive it. If you have any filming reports for us to post, please e-mail them to tips at staff dot mugglenet dot com!

yeah me too, well gtg, bye becky and hp and emmabonniefan


Posted by emmabonniefan17 Oct 26th 2007

Yeah that's how i feel Richard Harris was most certainly Dumbledore, he acted like Dumbledore and even sounded like Dumbledore. When i first saw the movies, and RH was Dumbledore it was like i was seeing the character of Dumbledore i read about on the screen.


Posted by hprchat Oct 26th 2007

La cock? Isn't that what Dumbledore likes?


Posted by MissMalfoy Oct 26th 2007

That was very appropriate hprchat (not)


Posted by emmabonniefan17 Oct 26th 2007

see ya grindlewald


Posted by jessiflash Oct 26th 2007

i like the feel of the RH dumbledore, but i think that MG dumbledore will fit more with the storyline for the later books


Posted by xmugglecastismylifex Oct 26th 2007

Just saying, I think Richard Harris is such an ANGRY DD! For example: DID YOU PUT YOUR NAME IN THE GOBLET OF FIRE? *cough*

hey hpfanx! ha on thursday i was doing this project presentation for hinduism in world history and we did a play and i had to put necklaces on this weird blue baby doll that was supposed to be a god and everyone got quiet to watch and when i put it on the doll fell down and knocked the plate of food and necklaces i was suppossed to be feeding it and everyone started laughing and i didn't know why it was funny. so yeah. weird. the blue doll was creepy too, but not really.


Posted by rob1007 Oct 26th 2007

Posted by HPfanx14 Oct 26th 2007

haha, a blue doll? that is kinda creepy. lol guess wht danny, my volleyball team won our cities tournament ! :D :D we are the best in the city 9 years runing. lol i keep telling everyone that but it just made me soo happy we beat the team we played cause the were extremely rude and obnoixous. they were cocky too, b4 the tournament started they got shirts that said "city champs" HA! too bad they lost,.


Posted by emmabonniefan17 Oct 26th 2007

Um Richard Harris was the angry DD, that was Michael Gambon get your facts straight. hprchat that is so immature to say about DD. That's cool Ernie was the best driver, Ernie Prang:p lol.


Posted by HPfanx14 Oct 26th 2007

well its been fun for the two 10 mins i was here, but gotta go. peace.


Posted by Campusanis Oct 26th 2007

Fitting. Gambon hasn't read the books, so what else can he talk about than weather. xD


Posted by dancefool1 Oct 26th 2007

Ettie is sooooooo lucky! I really can't picture book 6 as a movie. P.S. So you are well enough to update vut not make a mugglecast Andrew?


Posted by April_Lee Oct 26th 2007

ANyone still here?


Posted by zacharypotter Oct 26th 2007

Yes! That's so awesome!! I cannot wait. This will probably be the best film so far, except for length. David Yates shall make it into a 2 hour film, when it should be 3 hours.


Posted by April_Lee Oct 26th 2007

Really?


Posted by hedwig794 Oct 26th 2007

I hope the movie is long too, ootp was too short! I cannot wait for the half blood prince!

Posted by i_loverz_HP Oct 27th 2007

i love how dumby is smokinggggg. CRANK THAT SOULJA BOI!!! chea chea and ps dan looks hot like usual. hes my baby. :]]] smile for meh


Posted by Jonas Oct 27th 2007

"He was wearing the gray robes he has worn before in other Potter films." Why do they keep doing this? Dumbledore in the books doesn't wear shabby robes that make him look like a bum. I can understand from the "movies getting darker" view how they can't have Dumbledore in flamboyant purple robes, but at least when they visit Slughorn in HBP, Dumbledore (well, actually when he picks up Harry, but assuming he doesn't change in between) is said to be wearing a black traveling cloak. "There in the doorway stood a tall, thin man with waist-length silver hair and beard. Half-moon spectacles were perched on his crooked nose, and he was wearing a long black traveling cloak ..."


Posted by kcolado11 Oct 27th 2007

QUESTION! It's not a big deal or anything, but Is it me or does it look like they are using a double for Michael Gambon? Only a couple of the pics look like Michael G. but the others (the ones where he is smoking) doesn't really look like him? Maybe my eyes are playing tricks on me or something, i dont know.


Posted by emmabonniefan17 Oct 27th 2007

yeah it does look like he is smoking lol, i don't know if that is Gambon.


Posted by coleygirl Oct 27th 2007

yeah i have questions: 1. why is dd smoking?- i hope they dont have him smoking in the movie... 2. why does dd have a sock over his beard?


Posted by Hermet_Crab Oct 28th 2007

That's a body double for Michael Gambon. If you click on the pictures you'd see that it wasn't Sir Gambon smoking. Also, from the reports from Leaky, Dan also had a body double too. I think the reports said that the doubles shot some footage together, and then Dan and Sir Gambon showed up and filmed some of the scenes too. Also, let's not make these comments into a "who's the better Dumbledore?" debate. It's been about 6 years now since Richard Harris passed, and 5 years since Sir Gambon took on the role. I really think fans need to calm down and enjoy how they make up Dumbledore, considering these final two movies are supposed to show a deeper side to the man.


Posted by Hermet_Crab Oct 28th 2007

Coleygirl, to answer your question #2, that "sock" is to cover his beard when they're not shooting scenes. To protect it from damage. It's so that nothing will get on it, and also so that it won't mess up. The beard's fake, and it's fixed how they want it, so they don't need it to get messed up when not filming...because I believe it takes time to fix hair, especially fake facial hair, how they want it.


Posted by emmabonniefan17 Oct 28th 2007

Yeah it has been a long time since Michael Gambon, got selected as the new DD so i am used to it now. I wasn't at first, but now it doesn't bother me at all, and the reason is like hermet crab said cause we see the deeper sides of DD.


Posted by kokoro_ravenclaw Oct 28th 2007

Am I the only one seriously elated in the fact that Dan's hair is FINALLY just right for the first time since POA? In Stone and Chamber, his hair was like a bob almost...Year 4 it was too long, Year 5 too short and dorky... Year 6 it looks almost cool haha. Scenes look cool, can't wait for this movie. I really loved the book, as I do all of them, and so this should be a great movie to watch. Yates is a very good director also. :).


Posted by Emi_5 Oct 28th 2007

oh my gosh this film is def going to be awesome i know it!!! slughorn's house looked pretty good and so did the whole village...LOVE IT!!! i wish i lived in england though...although the pictures do rock....who knew that dumbledore smoked?...anyone? anyone?


Posted by SheIsLegend Oct 28th 2007

darn daniel radcliffe looks hot with his hair like that. yeah anyway.. excitement and such.


Posted by mighty Oct 28th 2007

Yes, that's Gambon's double that's smoking (Daniel has a double, too? Cool!). I know why there's a pillowcase over the beard, but it still looks funny :D
