Harry Potter at Freshwater West

26 April 2009

We hit Freshwater West this morning for a surf and stumbled upon this little number. They're filming a small part of the new Harry Potter film in the dunes on the beach. Apparently its costing £750,000 to make and film on this set. It will be in the film for 5 minutes! (its Dobby’s house, who’s dead apparently). Heres a bit more about it

er, spoilers ahead in case anyone who cares has not yet read the book (unlikely). This is where Dobby's buried (free elf, hangs out with Harry a lot), and then Harry stays at this house for a good while, hence the effort that's gone into the set I should think.
