Filming locations

Confirmed locations

• Leavesden Studios: has been confirmed by many sources, including J. K. Rowling, that it will, once again, be the studio location for scenes (mostly interior).
• Fort William: the Daily Telegraph has reported that Fort William will be used to show 'snow-capped mountains and glens' in the opening sequence of the film.
• Watford: where a reporter from the Australian television program "Sunrise" visited the set.
• Glenfinnan: in front of Bonnie Prince Charlie's Monument where Harry skips stones; the Hogwarts Express will also cross a viaduct here.

Filming rumours

• Filming will take place in the UK, presumably in Alnwick, Gloucester, and Oxford where filming for the past four movies has taken place.
• Apparently, Scotland's weather this year isn't snowy enough for the glorious magical backdrop of Hogwarts. This has led to further information regarding the fifth film being filmed overseas - which may be the case: it is rumoured that Scandinavia may soon be the replaced location
• Producer David Heyman is considering doing some filming outside the UK.
• Director David Yates is hoping to film a sequence (Wizard Chase) on the River Thames and through the London Suburbs.
• *Recent rumors have stated that filming has taken place at Butler's Wharf, near Tower Bridge in London, which would agree with Yates' above statement.

• David Heyman has confirmed that there will be a trailer for the movie by the end of the year.
• Composer Nicholas Hooper will compose music for this film, though Dario Marianelli was once rumored by IMDb and fan sites to score the movie. John Williams was also rumored to return after his absence from Goblet of Fire, but he is only credited as the composer of the themes.
• Miranda Richardson, despite speculation, stated she wouldn't be back and, David Heyman confirmed at a Goblet of Fire red carpet interview with The Leaky Cauldron that Rita Skeeter will not return.
• Evanna Lynch (Luna Lovegood) beat over 15,000 hopefuls at the open casting when she won the role. It has been stated by BBC Newsround that it took one reporter 15 minutes to walk from one end of the queue to the other - which shows the enormous amount of hopefuls who wanted the role.
• Young Remus Lupin was rumoured to be played by Stuart Hastings though it was denied by WB that anybody is in negotiations on 2006-03-27. On 25 May it was announced that James Utechin won the role and will play young Lupin. Oddly enough, James Walters, who won the role of young Sirius Black, also tried out for the role of young Lupin.
