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.

maybe the streakers were there to give Dan another award….

anyway, i completely agree that news is so slooow and the shoot takes too long (10 months? thats ridiculous, they’re not kids anymore). arent there any spy reporters in the UK?

That’s so funny. “Retreated to their caravans” stuff that I would be yelling at my assistant to get my camera phone.

I don’t know why some people take streaking so seriously. It’s just a bit of fun and they aren’t physically hurting anyone.

They made a mistake with the name!! Gosh, bad journalism! But Dan shooting with Helena…interesting! It could very well be the new scene added in the film. Looks like the “leaked scene” was pretty authentic then!

Why would Hermione call Mr. Weasley, Arthur?

Well… they were filming on location in England; there, streaking is the third most respected national sport after soccer and rugby. It was only inevitable…

Bez: “Why would Hermione call Mr. Weasley, Arthur?”

Good question. Ask Kloves, since the script is legit. Who knows what his reasoning behind it was; probably to make Hermione seem like an adult.

The tabloids have been having a field day with HP these last few weeks. I wouldn’t believe it unless one of the cast or crew mentions it.

When I first saw the headline I thought Dan Radcliffe might have forgotten which role he was performing. :-)

If it is Christmas of sixth year, hasn’t Hermione already turned seventeen? With her already being an adult, I can see Arthur telling her not to call him Mr. Weasley anymore.

Steelsheen: 10 months is NOT long, at all! Anyhow, you can’t rush “perfection” can you! LOL How could you even suggest “spy reporters”...The Daily Mail will think it’s “open season”!!! ROFLMAO! I haven’t heard, about Streakers, in forever! ‘Don’t look, Eythl!” A good bit of fun helps! :D

Hey Melissa, Sue or John… wasn’t sure if this got through contacts, so I’m reposting it here..

Hi, just found this Ralph Fiennes interview where he talks about his upcoming projects, including HP. He says he’s not in Half Blood Prince, but he does confirm the bit about his nephew playing young Riddle and that he hasn’t signed on for Deathly Hallows yet…. he also says that he’s enjoyed making the last two films and really liked how OotP turned out.

It’s towards the end of the interview. Here you go!

@LM – Yea right. Daniel Radcliffe is in much better shape then that laddie. He might want to do some more squats before he exposes himself in such a manner. No thank you.
