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!
