Streaking is Believing During "Half-Blood Prince" Filming

With news a bit slow on the Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince film front, UK paper The Sun has a doozy of a story tonight that just might get your attention. The tabloid is reporting that location filming for the sixth Harry Potter movie is currently taking place in Farnham, Surrey, England, and a couple of visitors made an unexpected appearance during the shoot. The paper claims “two male streakers” caused a bit of chaos by “darting naked through undergrowth during a woodland scene. Stars Daniel Radcliffe and Helena Bonham Carter retreated to their caravans while security chased the pair off.” The article continues to say the pranksters then “crept back and made monkey noises at the location shoot in Farnham, Surrey. A source said: “Seeing naked bodies was a laugh-but the joke wore thin.”

Caution to parents: Nudity contained at this link to the article.

Please keep this story very much in the rumor category until we can confirm it. Also, if true, we do not know if the location filming is still ongoing or which scenes for “Half-Blood Prince” they may be filming, whether it be the aftermath of the attack on Hogwarts, or the new scene that has been added to the movie involving the attack on the Burrow. We will update with more when we can.

Why would Bonham be in the woods? Why would anybody be in the woods?

djm19 – They’ve added a new scene to HBP that’s set in the woods outside the Burrow. A leaked version of the scene came out months ago that people believe is legit, and it involves Bella, Greyback, Harry & Ginny.

Hahahaha, I needed that laugh as well. And yes, I’d expect that they’d be filming the burrow scene.

Yeah, somebody did that at a high school football game when I was a junior. I wasn’t at the game at the time, but I heard all about it from everybody else the next day. My German teacher, who is Swiss, was astonished. To her it was a great culture shock, much to everybody’s amusement.

Really?! a leaked version does this mean like video or something?

And yes after the weeks i have had this “news” is a welcome bit lol. Unlike the bets of the streakers…

Yah! My favorite witch is back filming- Hi Bella, love you, anyway now that I have that out of my system- I just want to see more of my beloved husband – who is newly promoted to the Defense Against the Dark Arts job, and first pics of Bellas sister- really though I will take anything pertaining to the movie. Butt( get it ) this is really weird, were these guys trying to get publicity or did they just feel open all of a sudden?LOL

I heard about this a few days ago on BBC Radio…but I think the guy actually wrote in quite proudly about it. Crazy people.

From the article: “But once filming resumed on The Deathly Hallows, the duo crept back and made monkey noises at the location shoot in Farnham, Surrey.”

Wow, the same DH movie whose director has yet to be officially released?? _;;; I LOVE seeing journalism at its very best and brightest!

Hmmm, the article lists them as filming scenes for Deathly Hallows. Sort of throws the whole thing into question! But still, worth a laugh, for sure.

Funny how the paper (The SUN) said that this was filming for Deathy Hallows not Half Blood Prince. With crack fact checking (pun intended) like that it’s hard to believe and of it.

I’m going to choose to believe this because it’s very amusing, and it also means they’re filming that new scene right now, which I for one am totally pumped about. :D
