Gloucester readies for HBP filming
Gloucester readies for HBP filming As reported earlier this week, filming crews for Half-Blood Prince will be returning to Gloucester, England, where scenes have not been shot since the first two movies.

A few photos have emerged online and a brief article from This is Gloucestershire reports that:

"The corridors of the school are alive with excitement as 174 pupils prepare to join the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the film version of Harry Potter and The Half Blood Prince."

A full report and additional pictures are expected in tomorrow's Citizen.

So according to the article, The corridors of Gloucester Kings School are alive with excitement' Well from what I saw today...no-one was even there. OK so there were few people wandering around the cloisters at the cathedral, they were bods from WB, one was wearing a badge that said 'HP6 set Location' other than a bit of carpentry going on in the garden of a huge platform and a room full of tools and set materials which was locked, I saw nothing. I happily walked around the cloisters for half an hour and saw no evidence that anything has been set up at the school at all...yet. But then filming doesn't start for another week...and that's at night.

I am so worried about what they are going to cut out of HBP. What if they cut out something big like Felix Felicis or. . . or. . . oh the posibillities for error are infinite!


Posted by tiassa Jan 27th 2008

Do you attend there dogstar or were you just touring(I find you lucky anyway even if nothing is happening)? You have to understand that as refreshing as it would be to write in an article: "we went there and everything seemed to be nice and boring as usual" it would not do good for the reporter's job status.


Posted by CROOKSHANKS99 Jan 27th 2008

soo cool =)


Posted by weasleyisdaking10 Jan 27th 2008

Posted by honeydukes0209 Jan 27th 2008

very cool :) lucky ppl


Posted by dogstar01 Jan 27th 2008

tiassa, you are quite right, from a reporters point a view it would be boring. Sadly I don't attend the Kings School, or any of the schools asked to be extras (there were a few) but I am a local resident and I often walk through the grounds the cathedral and the surrounding area adjacent to the school. Kings is a boarding school but there was very little sign of the euphoria mentioned in the article, but there was some coming from the rugby pitch! (I jest, I didn't see a match, but you get my meaning)


Posted by starlette804 Jan 27th 2008

very cool i can't wait!! i just hope it still looks like hogwarts as we know it now since it hasnt been filmed there since the first 2 movies....


Posted by kasbrina Jan 27th 2008

I have a feeling it's one of the following Draco scenes!! Because if we have Harry following Draco around the corridors it could then lead to Moany Myrtles bathroom! But that's just my idea, this is so exciting!!


Posted by Moaning_Myrtle Jan 27th 2008

thats very cool! I loved the sets of the fist two movies very much and hogwarts was very nice back then! = ) It'll be weird though, switching again. I just got used to the hallways as they were! ; ) They probably need it for Myrtle's bathroom and maybe it just worked better! I really can't wait!!! ~Myrtle~


Posted by Crookshanks93 Jan 27th 2008

i wish i lived in gloucester and i was one of those students...


Posted by mrsfredw Jan 27th 2008

thats sooo kewl...i would love to be there!!!1


Posted by ColleenPotter Jan 27th 2008

cool!


Posted by rooon Jan 27th 2008

Wow! Exciting!


Posted by Crookshanks93 Jan 28th 2008

I'm really, really scared they're going to cut heaps out... like they did with OotP!!


Posted by JSD_appreciation_club Jan 28th 2008

Hey if they're filming in Gloucester they could get a special guest real life wizard in for a cameo role...James Simpson-Daniel's free in feb & march having been overlooked by Brian Ashton (again). Go on WB, sign him up!!!


Posted by HPUS Jan 28th 2008

Has anyone seen the new HBP movie poster where there are the silouettes (is that spelled like that?) of Harry and Dumbledore in the cave with the HP title and the tagline :"I'm safe with you harry" im not kiddin', i saw it on sum foreign website while i was searchin for sumthin completely different and i can't seem to remember the site!


Posted by bscorp Jan 28th 2008

HPUS 7 -- that poster was refuted as Fan Made, not an official release by WB.


Posted by animingusgirl Jan 28th 2008

I really hope the house elves are in this one. I think the screen writers will be backed in a corner on the 7th movie because they have had very little about house elves in the 4th and 5th movies. People who only watch the movies would not even know that Doby is now at Hogwarts working and would not even know Winky at all. And they become so important in the 7th book!

Posted by LollyThePop Jan 29th 2008

Does anyone know what scenes are being filmed here? I think they will be doing the confrontation in Myrtle's bathroom because the entrance to it is set in the cloisters. I went for a snoop with my friend Moony after school on Monday and there were a load of guys covering up gravestones in the floor and they gave us strange looks like they'd never seen fangirls before!


Posted by tiassa Jan 29th 2008

dogstar01 lol. yeah I do. thanks


Posted by member_of_SPEW Jan 29th 2008

ah what a cute little baby postie, Edward Kappa Pickle is, growing up nice and strong!

I don't know who Maxime thinks she's kidding. If Hagrid's half-giant, she definately is. Big bones... the only thing that's got bigger bones than her is a dinosaur.
