Warner Brothers are probably hoping some of that Irish luck would rub off on Harry in the film
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. The Sunday Business Post online is reporting that filming for HBP is due to begin "early next year" and that WB has been scouting locations in several Irish provinces.
This would mean a departure from England and Scotland, where the first five Harry Potter movies were filmed, as the paper reports that they have "exhausted possible locations in Britain".
Quote:
A number of the film's producers have already visited parts of Leinster and Munster. They are particularly keen on Ireland, as the landscape is similar to Britain and will appear similar to the settings of the previous films.
Quote:
If the film comes to Ireland, it is expected that much of the postproduction work will be carried out at Ardmore in Bray, Co Wicklow.
As of now, this is still very much merely a rumour. We will update on this thread of news if there is any word from any other parties. To read the entire article, click on the link below.
