Previously, we told you filming for the upcoming Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince movie was to take place this week in the village of Lacock, England. TLC reader Phil was thoughtful enough to take a few photos of Church Street, where several of the scenes are due to be filmed starting this Wednesday. You can see two of his photos here(note: no film crews or cast present). You can also read more about this charming village, via this link. Anyone who happens to be in the area later this week, please send in any filming reports photos and the like, and we will post them.

UPDATE: Thanks to eagle-eyed TLC Reader Andrew for pointing out that at the end of the street in this photo, is the same home they used in “Sorcerer’s Stone” for the flashback scene of James and Lily’s home in Godric’s Hollow. Andrew said that while on the London Taxi Tour of Lacock, he did make a stop at this same house.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is currently in production, and will be released in theaters November 21, 2008. Thanks very much Phil!

Why does it look like it’s going to be amazing? It’s just a bunch of parked cars.

what could this be? the Spinner’s End setting? Thought that place was more rundown.

I don’t know…Could be. Good guess! I’m also excited! I can’t wait to see the DEATHLY HALLOWS MOVIE!! That may be a while away but I can’t wait to watch the Battle at Hogwarts!! EEEKKK!! Bring out the popcorn!! When does OOTP come out on DVD?? Has it already?

Looks a lot like how I picture Spinner’s End, but isn’t Helena like massively pregnant at the moment? They wouldn’t be filming that any time soon. So, maybe it’s Slughorn’s hood…

OOhhhh!! Another good idea!! That could be Sluggy’s hideout!!

Ohh I wish it’s the Spinner’s End scenes!!! The place looks perfect. I agree with Samantha, and you’re right about Helena now I’ve come to think about it.. but I still hope it’s Spinner’s End.

Yeah!! OOOOHHH! I can’t wait!!

Sorry folks, this is most unlikely to be Spinner’s End if they are going to be true to the book. That was set in a grimy, brick-built industrial town in the north midlands, not a charming stone-built country village in Wiltshire. This is much more likely to be the spot chosen for Slughorn’s temporary hideout.

GUYS, it’s not Spinner’s End because Bonham Carter isn’t filming until Spring 08

For all you Jane Austen fans – that is the town that the 6 hour Colin Firth Pride and Prejudice was filmed. All the Meryton town scenes were filmed in Lacock, I believe.

I shall so be going there when I get home on Thursday!!!! How exciting!

Step by step!! I didn’t expect to have actors in the first set pictures that surfaced the net. At least we have something!! ^^

It could be the place where Tom Riddle’s orphanage is but it looks too nice, so I agree its probably Sluggy’s scene.
