| | |  Michael Gambon shoots Half-Blood Prince at train station
We told you that Half-Blood Prince was filming just outside London this weekend at a train station. Now there is a new report online from the location shooting and a picture of Michael Gambon as Dumbledore. A translation of the report can be found here. David Yates, the director, and Dan Radcliffe's body double were also on set.  Quote:
My eyes wander around and suddenly Dumbledore is standing in front of me – maybe 10 metres away. Michael Gambon in full get-up! His beard held together by some cord. His grey robe we already know from the previous films. His little hat. All fits together! From the opposite platform David Yates, the director, is issuing instructions: ‘No train! Action!’ The camera is running and Gambon starts. He is standing on the platform in such a way that he has a good view of the other platform. His head is slightly turning from one side to the other – apparently he is looking for someone. Then he raises his hand and waves in greeting.
Quote:
Dumbledore is looking at the other platform. Then it’s starting to get hectic. This time, the scene is to be filmed with a train passing by, which is already advancing. Gambon is already back on his position. The train rushes past. He looks. He waves. Cut! The same thing is repeating itself for a couple of times, and each time they have to wait for a passing train. Yates gives Gambon different stage directions: “Michael, can we try a smaller gesture?” – As a result, Gambon doesn’t wave quite as noticeably any more, but only raises his hand in greeting. The next stage direction is that he should wait a few more seconds after the train has left the picture before he carries out his greeting.
Quote:
The focus is on Dumbledore on the opposite platform. The passing train can only be made out in a blurry way as it rushes through the picture. As soon as the train has passed, white steam comes swirling into the picture from below. Then I suddenly see someone trying to wipe clean a window with his sleeve, in order to get a better view of Dumbledore on the other side of the picture. Dumbledore waves.

I'm so jealous! I wish I had been there. I might have squealed too much if I saw Daniel Radcliffe, though.

I think maybe it could be toward the end of the film with Harry thinking he can see Dumbledore waving to him from the platform?

Interesting report. I'd love for that to happen. Me just being somewhere, and then some of the HP cast just there, filming. | |

I love all these reports. They are so "secret spy". Can you imagine just being on a platform and out of nowhere see Dumbledore standing there?! I might have died.

 How funny! That picture is so out of context it's hilarious! Especially half of the guy's face on the left side. It totally looks like some person was just waiting for the train and saw Dumbledore walk up for a ride. 
AWESOME!

That's probably the only reason I can think of, really. Why would Dumbledore be physically in the platform?
__________________ I gotta go back to the muggle world,
they're gonna try and tell me this wasn't, that none of this happened,
but you know what? It was real. It did happen.
We spent time here. We made friends here. That's a part of us.
Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,
and it's going to be around long after we're gone.
Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.
No matter how long you're away from it, there's always a way back. | |
