Harry Potter Going to Scotland? (And the "Phoenix" Running Time)

by | May 29, 2007 | Comments

According to one very excited Scotland newspaper, there’s a good chance that producers will shoot part of "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" in the cliffs and caves of Northern Scotland.

Looks like the filmmakers are looking for a spot to shoot our heroes’ final search for "The Guy We Should Not Name." Here’s what the newspaper has to say: "The producers are interested in using the caves and cliffs as part of the dramatic climax of the new film – the sixth in the series – in which the heroes wind their way along a sea-lashed coastline in search of the soul of the evil Lord Voldemort."

D’oh, they said the name. Sorry, everyone. Crazy Scots. But don’t book your flights to Scotland just yet, Potter nuts, because there are a few other locations (like New Zealand) that might earn the extra cash.

Oh, and according to the British equivalent to the MPAA, this summer’s "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" will clock in at 138 minutes (and 4 seconds).
