It
was a great pleasure to work with our friend Kiran Shah (LORD OF THE
RINGS, NARNIA, LEGEND) recently when he portrayed Dumpy the Houseschmuck.
This coming weekend we'll be shooting Squidditch matches and the huge
Bureaucracy of Sorecery fight scene with the Order of the Kleonix! Filming
with MuggleNet webmaster Emerson Spartz also went great, even if we lost
electricity right after his shots!
Excitement
is in the air as the production moves ever-steadily forward. More recent
set building and final costume fittings are really starting to bring the
film to life. Filming will begin May 31 rather than May 17 due to some
injuries poor David (Mumblemore) recently received. But he's a tough old
cookie and doing well, and it also gives us a few more weeks to get the
set completed.
With
filming just 3 weeks away our dedicated cast and crew have been very busy
getting the sets completed for our first shoot on May 17 which will be
Headmaster Mumblemore's office scenes. To the left you can see the arched
window walls in progress which will be used throughout the Snogwarts
castle set in the various rooms and hallways.
We've
all been very busy preparing for the 3 month shoot ahead of us so bare
with us as we try to keep the website up to date. We are in the process of
creating an online photo gallery so we can share all the art in progress
and the still photos from the set that will be forthcoming througjout the
summer. Meanwhile, to your left you can see Scot dressed as Hagard from a
recent cotume fitting. Lookin' good, you half-witted half giant!

World Books has joined our team of awesome sponsors by allowing us to
film at their location and borrow books for set dressing. With over a

including text books for college students. They are also partnered with
several literacy organizations, including Books for Africa. Visit their

Emerson Spartz is the webmaster of the largest Harry Potter
