Cast & Crew Arrive At Shell Cottage To Film Deathly Hallows
We previously reported on the Deathly Hallows film set construction of Shell Cottage in Pembrokeshire, Wales. Now, The Leaky Cauldron has received reports of Harry Potter stars Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter), Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley), Emma Watson (Hermione Granger), Evanna Lynch (Luna Lovegood), Domhnall Gleeson (Bill Weasley), and Warwick Davis (as Griphook) arriving in the area with the crew. They were seen earlier today at the beach.

One report was from Jo:

"From the looks of the conservatory and garden, it looks like they may do some internal filming. You can also see a chair in one of the front windows. I couldn’t get over the detail, the little window next the chimney is just such a nice effect, even lobster pots in the garden!"

Since the UK is approximately five hours ahead of us, I believe filming may have already started (per TLC's report of an early morning filming) at Freshwater Beach. smile

There are photos of the film crew setting up for filming at Shell Cottage in the photo gallery, courtsey of a Facebook group for Freshwater Beach who has photos from S. Click here to see them.

Thanks to TLC

Ballantyne Is A “Baddy” In Half-Blood Prince & Deathly Hallows
Norwich Evening News reported that Norfolk actor Martin Ballantyne will be seen as “Scary Face” in Half-Blood Prince, but was “ecstatic” to also be included in Deathly Hallows:

“I play Scary Face in The Half Blood Prince - but I didn't have any lines in that.

“But in The Deathly Hallows the director, David Yates, had remembered me and I was given the part of Mundungus' Associate. He is a baddy - I'm always the baddy - and I had a few lines to learn and say.”

Helen McCrory in 'Something Fresh' On BBC Radio 4
BBC Radio 4 has started its broadcast of a two-part radio adaptation of P.G. Wodehouse's 1915 comic novel Something Fresh. Helen McCrory (Narcissa Malfoy) reads the part of "Joan".

The story is about two imposters who go to Blandings Castle with the intention of recovering a valuable scarab which dotty Lord Emsworth unknowingly obtained from a dyspeptic American millionaire.

The final part will broadcast tomorrow, April 5. BBC Radio broadcasts are available to listen again online within seven days after the first airing.

This sounds like a fun story by Mr. Wodehouse if it is anything like his 'Jeeves and Wooster' stories smile

Gleeson’s Son Considered For The Part of Bill Weasley In DH
Broadway.com posted an unconfirmed report that Domhnall Gleeson, son of Brendan Gleeson (Mad-eye Moody), is expected to receive the role of “Bill Weasley” (Ron Weasley's oldest brother) in the film adaptations of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

Domhnall Gleeson is known to theatergoers for his Tony nominated performance as "Davey" in a 2006 Broadway production of Lieutenant of Irishmore, a black comedy by Martin McDonagh. At that time, he gave an interview for Broadway.com and was quoted to have said:

"I'd been very certain about not wanting to do the acting thing because of my father…I thought I'd always have the father-son thing of 'He got you the part.”

Although his father is a "frequent collaborator" of Martin McDonagh’s, Gleeson’s Tony nomination proved that his acting career didn’t need any help.

Click here to read the article.

Personally, I think he looks more likely to be Rupert Grint’s brother than Brendan Gleeson’s son. lol

But again, please note that this casting is unconfirmed.

Helen McCrory: Her First Appearance on ‘Life’ Now Online
We previously reported that Helen McCrory (Narcissa Malfoy) will appear as “Amanda Puryer” on the Wednesday, March 11 episode of her husband Damian Lewis’ US television show Life. Her first appearance as the security specialist was in the episode “I Heart Mom” which can now be seen online at NBC.com, Hulu.com, and Amazon.com.

Warning: This police detective show does contain adult language and situations.

Ms. McCrory’s scene was brief, but quite memorable. This was my first opportunity to see her act. Considering how cool (as in haughty) “Amanda Puryer” was, I can understand why David Yates chose Ms. McCrory to portray "Narcissa Malfoy" in Half-Blood Prince.
