The Scotsman is reporting that scouting in Scotland for background scenery (which has also been used in the previous Harry Potter films), to be used in the Deathly Hallows films will begin later this month.

According to the Scottish Highlands and Islands Film Commission, filming for the final films will take place later this year at Lochabar.

Previously David Heyman said that production would begin in February 2009.
