Filming for the sixth Harry Potter film, Half-Blood Prince started in Lacock, UK today. According to a report
the residents are very excited about the prospect of seeing the stars and that a number of the houses have been painted a darker color to make them appear more sinister to shoot scenes with the ghoulish Death Eaters.
A member of the film crew said:
The light will look like moonlight and it is made up of lots of smaller lights inside to give that strong effect.
Scenes are scheduled to be shot from 5 pm until 5 am each day until Saturday morning and if you happen to capture any pictures of the filming please send our way.
UPDATE: Thanks to TLC you can read a report from the set, which mentions the high security and props for filming.
UPDATE II: Another report from filming is now online, which states that Daniel was onset.
UPDATE III: You can see additional pictures of the area here (scroll down) courtesy of London Taxi Tour.

Great news! I hope we get more reports soon, then we can guess which part of the book is being filmed. Could be Spinners End or Slugworth's hideaway.

If I heard they were coming to my area...I would be finding out when they were coming and scheduling myself off of work. I would camp out if I had too just to see them. I am very excited for anyone who gets to see the filming.

Things are mocing right along. It will be interesting to hear how the shots were done, and to ultimately view the final effect. Should be fun to hear more.

See, if Cantax House is going to be used as Slughorn's temporary abode then the other house that has been photographed a ton getting a bit of a make-over and considered Slughorn's home, when clearly the crew are saying Cantax House is going to be Slughorn's, seems likely to me to be Severus' home in Spinner's End. It looks like a little place in a small village wheras Slughorn's home is a little too big and open looking. I'm thinking they're filming in Lacock to get all those out of the way. But then again, Helena Bonham-Carter can't film her scenes until spring since she's very pregnant now. And Rickman is due to film at the end of the year. Hmmm. We shall see. Hopefully we'll get our first batch of on-set photos of Radcliffe!

What a way for a whole community to come together and experience a wonderful event, to say nothing of what it will do for future business with all the tourists that will follow.
Blessings! Hecate3fold!

Wow, that's totally awesome. I do find it ironic that the filmakers put so much effort into small details like the color of houses, yet will leave out really fundamental parts of the story.

I love the special effects "moon" that they have! I'm wondering if this scene is for when Bellatrix and Narcissa visit Snape at Spinner's End ...
