A TV spot from Order of the Phoenix has won “Best Animation/Family TV Spot” at the 2008 Golden Trailer Awards, which were held yesterday in Los Angeles. The spot, titled “Great Wizards”, can be viewed here in QuickTime format.
In lieu of Half-Blood Prince trailer news, BBC is feeding our craving by providing some interesting video shots of Leavesden Studios via helicopter. Leavesden has been used to film most interior and exterior Potter scenes since the beginning of the franchise.
The aerial shots provide a glimpse at several outdoor sets, including Privet Drive, Hagrid’s Hut, the Hogwarts Express - Hogwarts station, an entrance to Hogwarts, and one end of a Quidditch pitch.
Additionally, there are several sets that cannot be identified from recognition in past Potter films. Possibilities include the Gaunt’s House (CBBC’s guess), a part of The Orphanage, and The Burrow.
Natalia Tena Talks About Her Role in Half-Blood Prince
Monday, May 5th, 2008
Trish from SnitchSeeker.com was at Collectormania 13 in England and spoke with Natalia Tena, who plays Tonks in Order of the Phoenix and Half-Blood Prince. Tena revealed that she has completed filming for HBP:
The only scene Natalia has filmed for the movie, isn’t actually in the book at all. She was only on set for the part where Death Eaters attack the Burrow at Christmas (where Harry & the Weasleys are present). She said that none of the angst of her character is there - indeed, she and Lupin are just suddenly a couple when they meet there.
According to United Agents, actress Suzanne Toase is currently filming her role as Alecto Carrow for the sixth Harry Potter film. It is yet unknown whether she’ll reprise the role in Deathly Hallows.
ComingSoon.net received a hot tip early Friday morning, revealing that Part 1 of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows will be released November 19th, 2010.
The news comes just a little over a month since Warner Brothers announced the final book will be split into two films. No word yet on the exact date for Part 2, but Heyman has previously stated in an interview with the LA Times to look for a May 2011 release.
