The Financial Times is reporting that Warner Bros plans to buy Leavesden Studios in Hertfordshire, England,.  Leavesden is where they have filmed all of the Harry Potter movies including Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

The new plans involve building two new permanent stages, refurbishing the existing buildings and redesigning its 100-acre “backlot”, the area used for shooting outdoor scenes.

A person familiar with the plans said Warner Brothers wants to make Leavesden a European hub for post-production, including visual effects, animatronics and film editing in the UK, and believes that it will attract film business to the country.

The proposal also includes a plan to allow members of the public to visit, by appointment, the sets of films made at Leavesden, including the great hall from the Harry Potter series.

More information as it comes!  This is still a rumor for now.  Thanks to SS for the tip!

Actress Clemence Poeey (Fleur Delacour) attended Chanel’s Haute Couture S/S 2010 Fashion Show at Paris Fashion Week!   See the photos of here here at Clemence-Poesy.org.

Clemence also designed two t-shirts that will be sold by Zef (a children’s clothing store) to support Enfance et Partage, which has been fighting for 30 years against all forms of child abuse. The shirts will cost 45€ and go on sale in March!

Empire Online is reporting that Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Parts 1 and 2 will be released in 3D!

Yes, both chunks of Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows will be converted to the format.

Warners was apparently closed-mouthed when asked to confirm, so until the official announcement this is technically a rumour. But that shoe is expected to drop before the week – and knowing the speed at which these things move in the Internet age, the day – is over.

Each film will cost $5 million to convert and the process will also shove the release date of Titans back a week to 2nd April. The Potter pics are still on course for 19th November of this year and 15th July 2011 respectively.

Thanks as usual to Oclumencia we have FOUR new promotional photos from the Half-Blood Prince character shoots.  See them all here in the gallery!
