The Suffolk Free press has a new article online about filming that took place there in January.

Scenes from the forthcoming Hollywood blockbuster Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows have been filmed in Lavenham. Although none of the cast was present for the filming, the characters of Harry Potter and Hermione Granger will be added through computer wizardry – meaning film fans will actually see the Warner Bros blockbuster’s main protagonists appearing in Lavenham’s streets.

Jane Gosling, manager of the National Trust-run Lavenham Guildhall, spoke to the Free Press about the film crew’s visit in January. She said: “It was all very exciting. What the film-makers are going to do is turn parts of Lavenham into Godric’s Hollow (a village featured in the book and film series) and the Guildhall will be Harry Potter’s parents’ house. It is all very clever. They filmed parts of Lavenham and will edit out any modern houses and bits they don’t want digitally.”

In a new interview with movieline Ciaran Hinds talks about Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

[SPOILER ALERT] How did you wind up in a Harry Potter film (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows) playing a member of the Dumbledore clan?
Dumbledore’s kid brother! Dumbledore was about 123, so that makes me 115. Dumbledore’s passed away in the story, but there’s some link back to his earlier childhood that needs to be revealed to the… well, they’re not so much kids anymore. They’re young adults. I was asked, “The director wants to meet you, because he knows your work and thinks you might suit this role.” We just met, and he was very lovely. It was just, “I’d like you to do this; I think it’s going to work out.” It was only like four days’, five days’ work. But it did involve a lot of prosthetics. What’s great is that I won’t be hassled by anybody in the street because they won’t know who was in there.
