Hogwarts in Flames
Well it looks like there wasn’t enough magic that even Dumbledore could conjure to put them those flames out that set fire to the Hogwarts set, no it seems that it was down to us muggles to finish the job off – so 6 fire engines went to the rescue!
Don’t worry about the Harry Potter stars as none were injured or hurt in the blaze, although it may be a bit of a stretch now for the crew to get the film finished before November this year seeing as there is quite a bit of damage to the set.
We’re all in wait for the final film ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows’ to visit our cinema screens and boy if their set is already getting burnt down during rehearsal, you can only imagine how explosive the final version will be!
For a whole 40 minutes our muggle firemen fought the blaze until there was nothing left but ruins of the main set, an inside source who witnessed the fire leaked out to the Sun,
“We were shooting the scenes where Hogwarts gets blown up during the battle. But the fire managed to catch hold of the set and it went up in flames. It was completely out of control at one point.”
Obviously it’s always going to be a risky business when using actual fire and dangerous equipment, but the director wants the final film to go out with a bang and by he sounds of it, that it shall!
As the source added genuinely, “The special effects guys involved were devastated.” And who wouldn’t be if they were the one who (not-intentionally) started the fire and caused their managers a lot of money! Aside from this blazing hitch the filming will still go ahead, so maybe they’ll meet their deadline after all.
