HARRY POTTER STARS SECRETLY FILMING NINTH MOVIE - AGH
DON'T CRACK OPEN THE BUTTERBEER JUST YET THOUGH - THERE'S MORE TO THIS STORY THAN MEETS THE EYE...
In news that had us spitting out our morning choccy biscuit in excitement (don't judge us) it's been reported that the cast of Harry Potter have been secretly filming a NINTH movie. AGH.
Before you start digging out your wand and queuing outside the local cinema though, there is a downside - the additional film will be a 'mini-movie' - and will only be shown at Harry Potter theme parks. Oh, balderdash.
According to The Sun, Helena Boham Carter - who plays the terrifying Bellatrix Lestrange - and fellow cast members have been filming scenes at Levesdon studios in Hertfordshire over the past few weeks.
A source confirmed: “The cast have really enjoyed getting back together — they are so tight-knit.
“The shooting schedule is nowhere near as long as the films, so though filming has been intense, the stars have enjoyed being able to pop in and out.”
The new film will be shown at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter attraction in Florida, and later at the two new Hogwarts theme parks in California and Japan which are under construction as we speak.
Hang on - the USA gets TWO WHOLE WIZARD BASED THEME PARKS BEFORE WE EVEN GET ONE? Pfff, that's just not fair.
Anyhoo - what we really want to know is what kind of plot line the mini-movie will follow. Will Harry go batsh*t crazy and attempt to become the next Voldemort? Will Ron discover that Hermonie isn't quite bad ass enough for him and start up an affair with Bellatrix?
The butterbeer was pretty good. I could only have a few sips though and I was done lol
But yeah, come to think of it, I don't think I've really been in any of the stores either. Maybe for a minute, but they're usually so crowded and there's nothing to really see...
I still remember going on
Dueling DragonsDragon Challenge just to see how they Potter-ized it, and laughing at how lazy they were with changing it from the original. They threw a few Triwizard banners up--none of which mentioning Cedric--and it seemed so tacked on. It's like they realized at the last minute they needed to make the ride Potter themed and had someone run out to Wal-Mart to get poster board.I agree. It was seriously disappointing. Ugh. My cousin and I were so excited to go because we're the big stans but it seemed my Dad, the non-HP fan (and the one who refers to Harry as "the guy with the glasses"), had the best time lol
