Hogwarts burns down as fire hits ‘Harry Potter’ set
Filming of the latest Harry Potter instalment has come to a halt after a blaze broke out on set. The incident took place when a special effects explosion went wrong during a battle scene for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
Although no one was injured, one of the sets used for the series’ iconic Hogwarts Castle was burnt down, leaving an estimated damage cost of £100,000.
The Battle of Hogwarts scenes involve Harry – played by Daniel Radcliffe – raising an army of students to defend the school from an attack by evil wizard Voldemort. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is due to hit sceens in two parts and will be shown in 3D.

Oh My Gosh Is this real? If so I’m so sad to hear that this has happened. I’m so sad to hear about this news. I can only hope that every one is ok & nobody was hurt by the blaze. My thoughts are with you guys on the HP set .
Apparently this whole thing was not as bad as it at first looks.And extra set they had built for the battle scenes just got out of
control with what they were filming.
Leaveston’s ‘in house’ team of
fire fighters got it under control partly and the fire department was called as a precausion…who took
care of it the rest of the way.
No one was injured ..all the main cast was not there,,the cast that was was not hurt…true some things were burnt
but the set was going to have to be re-built anyway far more shooting.
