Hmmm…what to think! I’d love to think they’ve decided to put the Gaunts and the Dursleys back in, but perhaps that’s being “optimistic to the point of foolishness,” as Dumbledore would say. Don’t know why else the Gaunts’ shack would be there if they’re not in the movie, but I imagine Harry and Dumbledore could just walk down Privet Drive without the movie showing any of Dumbledore’s visit with the Durleys (which is a crying shame, if you ask me…). Ah well, can’t wait to check out the images when I get home from work!

This is awesome! like it. really interesting! and I agree with everbody. Its time for some new pics! and trailer! Give it to me WB!

It looks like the base of the Burrow, especially because of that rust-colored dome building behind it in Andrew’s reference photo. I wish it was the Gaunt house though.

If you can’t see the video, don’t worry. You aren’t missing much. The screencaps will give you the general gist. There’s no sound or anything.

Wow this is so cool!! I am SO EXCITED!

It’s really weird to see half a Dursley house though….

About the house: I personally think it’s more likely to be The Burrow, simply because I can’t imagine the Gaunts to have a pigsty in their back garden. Oh and also because I thought they’d been cut =( I hope I’m wrong though!

wait wait wait wait…the Dursleys aren’t in? SINCE WHEN?

^ It was confirmed by Richard Griffith (who played Uncle Vernon) many months ago.

Thanks for the footage! Even though they have the Privet Drive outside set, none of the Dursleys are in the cast list on IMbd. But I would dearly love to see Dumbledore “scold” the Dursleys! :-)

Could the Privet Drive set be a leftover from OotP and just saved for DH?

WOW First time I’ve been able to access something from the BBC, here, across the pond. No sound, but you could tell what each one was! Personally, I think the chosen configuration, of the courtyard of the Astronomy Tower, is perfect. There ARE no “other towers, already shown” on the exhisting Hogwarts that would “fit the bill”...Rocks and hillsides do not fit the description of how Dumbledor is “found” by everyone… Good work, BBC! Yep…How ‘bout some new pictures, a trailer and a poster, WB????

Awesome! I wouldn’t make any assumptions about who is or isn’t in the film. They are going to want to keep some of it a surprise (even though we’ve all read the book…). People can be told to say things or not to say things. IMDB doesn’t always have the complete cast list until the film is in theatres for that reason. I say keep optimistic! Who knows what they did or didn’t include.

I can’t view the video, and I’m in France. It just goes on searching and searching… It’s so sad that the Gaunt house isn’t in, I thought it explained a lot of things.

@ Cat: there are quite a few names, that have not been added, at IMBd [ I tend to follow what THEY say, before others]....sometimes,. they keep that quiet until the “last minute” Personally, I think they WILL keep the Dursleys in this one….

I saw the video:)

I got to see the video and I’m at U.S.A

All right, y’all are making me feel more optimistic about seeing the Dursleys! :) I guess Richard Griffiths’ saying they weren’t in it is why I’m assuming they’re not, but perhaps they’ve changed their mind and didn’t let us know. Do you all remember the pic of Harry and Dumbledore in a living room that really looked like the Dursleys? I know everyone was saying it must be Slughorn’s house (or I should say the one he commandeered) when Harry and Dumbledore go to “persuade” him to come out of retirement, but I still say it looked VERY much like the Dursleys…. ‘Course, it may be that they’re having Dumbledore come get Harry while the Dursleys are out (which seems fairly ridiculous), but we shall see. Staying optimistic! :)

I think what you refer to as “Privet Drive” is actually Spinners End! Privet Drive didn’t look half as shabby!

@ Confederate—there are tonnes of towers they could’ve used for the astronomy tower: the tower they use to lock Sirius up in, the tower in the center of the right hand side of hogwarts (see pictures of durham cathedral if you dont know what i mean) the set of towers just off the transfiguration courtyard. :S

OMG! thats so COOL! Thanks for posting!

Does anyone know if they have finished filming? Or when they’re going to?
