Howgwarts Burns To The Ground
The set of The Howgwarts for the final Harry Potter film has been destroyed in a blaze as they were filming the final battle scene.
If you have read the book then you will know the scene in which the fire happened and if you haven't stop reading now.
The set that burnt down while they were filming the scene involved a Battle of Hogwarts scenes involve Harry raising an army of students to defend the school from evil wizard Voldemort.
Explosives set light to scenery at the school of magic as cast and crew shot the Battle of Hogwarts climax for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
Fire crews battled for 40 minutes to bring the flames under control but the set was wrecked.
Six fire engines raced to Leavesden Film Studios, near Watford, Hertfordshire, in the drama on Friday evening.
"We were shooting the scenes where Hogwarts gets blown up during the battle. But fire managed to catch hold of the set and it went up in flames. It was completely out of control at one point."
It's understood that the main cast members including Daniel Radcliffe (Harry), Emma Watson (Hermione) or Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley) were not there at the time.
There were about 100 crew members and some cast on set and all escaped without injury. One source estimated damage at £100,000.
Warner Bros confirmed the incident and insisted production was still going ahead but it will be a setback for the schedule, with the first part of the story due out towards the end of the year.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is the final installment of the franchise. It will be released in 3D, with the first part out on November 19 and the second on July 15, 2011.
