'Half-Blood Prince' teaser trailer | Trailer screencaps
As we previously told you, Warner Bros. was on location at a Surbiton train station this past weekend to film scenes for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Harry Potter Xperts has let us know that a set report written in German is now online at this link. You can click here to read an English translation of the entire set report.
Excerpt One: Now I'm also able to see more clearly how the scene that has just been filmed might ultimately look like in the movie. The focus is on Dumbledore on the opposite platform. The passing train can only be made out in a blurry way as it rushes through the picture. As soon as the train has passed, white steam comes swirling into the picture from below. Then I suddenly see someone trying to wipe clean a window with his sleeve, in order to get a better view of Dumbledore on the other side of the picture. Dumbledore waves.
Excerpt Two: I talk to one of the security men, who is a lot more helpful than the station manager, and he tells me what he knows. The double is there so that the light and everything else can be adjusted before the actual filming starts. The real Dumbledore is too old to stand around in the cold all the time, that's why they have a second.
He also tells me that the filming is supposed to officially continue until six o’clock in the morning. Apparently, at 1.30 am, another scene is going to be filmed, in which there will be other actors present, but nobody knows any details.
Excerpt Three: Next to Daniel Radcliffe's empty chair another boy is sitting, who could pass as a double of Harry. He's brooding over a yellow piece of paper. Moments later he leaves the waiting room […] and disappears from the platform. When he returns, the Dumbledore scene is finished. David Yates declares that everybody has a 1 ½ hours break now ('lunch', although it's midnight) and that another scene will start shooting at 1 o'clock.
