The Deathly Hallows crew were seen setting up their cameras and various technical equipment for this week’s Shell Cottage shoot in Pembrokeshire National Park, Wales. Reports have come in that actors Dan Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson, Domhnall Gleeson (Bill) and Warwick Davis (Griphook) have arrived at the location earlier today.

Thanks UHP!

TLC is reporting that there is a rumor going around that Miranda Richardson is in negotiations to reprise her role as Rita Skeeter in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. They spoke directly to representatives for Miranda today, and were told “no comment.”

More on this as it comes! But remember this is just a rumor and not at all confirmed!

Today there are a few Deathly Hallows casting updates thanks to SS! They are the following:

According to his agency, Andrew Manson Personal Management, Ltd, Dave Legeno has been confirmed as returning to play Fenrir Greyback.

At the Tribeca Film Festival John Hurt spoke about returning to play Ollivander.

Also playing extras will be Pete Perry and Jeanie Gold.

Thanks to UHP we have some more filming photos that you can see HERE! And also thanks to Leaky there is a set report online as well!

After a few more takes of this sequence the crew moves onto the very corner of Piccadilly Circus, where the road is temporarily blocked, and the trio take to the center of the road, as a London double-decker bus drives straight at them, stopping in the nick of time. One can only assume that this is the actual Apparition sequence, and that instead of the Tottenham Court Road setting of the book the movie makers have made this into a much bigger sequence, setting it in the instantly recognisable Piccadilly Circus (which makes more sense anyway given that it’s the first place Hermione is supposed to think of and TCR always seemed a strange choice)

So all in all, the second night of shooting seemed to pick up where the first left off – lots of walking up and down Shaftesbury avenue, just this time with the additional shots of the apparition sequence for fans to really sink their teeth into (either complaining that “That’s not what happens in the book!?!?” as I heard someone say, or “No…but it does sort of make more sense this way” as another said.) whatever your outlook, as has been mentioned above, the real star tonight was Emma Watson, who, despite only acting for all of 5seconds the whole night did honestly make you believe in those Five seconds that she was scared.

Thanks to SS and Oclumencia there are even more filming photos from this weeks Deathly Hallows shoot!

See them all HERE! I will keep adding them as they come online!

UPDATE: There are now a bunch of videos online as well:

Thanks again to Oclumencia there are a TON more photos from the Deathly Hallows filming last night! I expect more and more will be coming for a few days, haha.

See them all HERE!
