Bonham Carter Goes to Pembrokeshire for Deathly Hallows Filming

Helena Bonham Carter, who portrays Bellatrix Lestrange in the Harry Potter films, was seen at a gas station while on her way to filming at Pembrokeshire for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. The set, which includes Shell Cottage, is on the beach with large shells for the roof shingles.

One person who saw Helena at the station stated, “She looked incredibly out of place in a pair of red gloves on a sunny day. She was instantly recognisable and yet she just went in, bought some food and drink and went on her way without and any fuss or being recognised.”

Filming at Shell Cottage began today and will last until mid-May or longer.

If anyone is able to get any photos or have any reports of filming taking place, please let us know.

The first part of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows will be released on November 19, 2010, and the second part's release date is July 15, 2011.
