You could call it Harry Potter And The Studio Of Fire.
Film crew were forced to flee after a blaze destroyed a set on the latest movie about the boy wizard.
The drama happened when a special-effects explosion appears to have gone wrong during filming for a battle which marks the final scenes of Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows.

A set for Hogwarts Castle – the school of wizardry where Harry and his friends learn magic – was burned down, despite the efforts of six fire crews. The damage is estimated at £100,000.
The ‘Battle of Hogwarts’ scenes involve Harry – played by Daniel Radcliffe – raising an army of students to defend the school from an attack by evil wizard Voldemort.
None of the cast was on set when the accident happened on Friday night at Leavesden film studios, near Watford in Hertfordshire. However, around 100 film crew were present.
Watford fire brigade commander Tony Smith said: ‘There is a big battle scene involving a lot of pyrotechnics and explosions. There is a mocked-up castle made of timber, steel and plastic – somehow it caught alight.’
Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows is the final instalment of the Harry Potter film franchise. It will be in two parts and screened in 3D.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows ShoWest Footage Description
The ShoWest convention in Las Vegas wrapped up tonight but not before Warner Bros. showed off its final installment of an incredibly popular franchise. CinemaBlend attended the Warner Bros. presentation of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, which is set for release on November 19. Here's an excerpt of the site's article, describing the footage they were shown.
The footage shown came from all sections of The Deathly Hallows, so it's impossible to tell where they will split up the two movies. We saw little bits of everything, from the seven Harry Potters escaping from the Dursleys house (totally surreal) to the attack at Bill and Fleur's wedding to the escape from Gringotts on the pale dragon and even Hogwarts on fire. With unfinished effects it's hard to really say how it all looks, though some of the most effective moments were the simplest-- Ron and Harry's fight in the tent, Harry visiting his parents' graves, running away from the Snatchers in the woods, Harry defiantly telling Voldemort that he stays alive "because I have something worth fighting for."
The site also noted that the footage was still rather rough, with unfinished visual effects that have to be finished before the film's fall release.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows stars Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson, Ralph Fiennes, Bill Nighy, John Hurt, Rhys Ifans, Helena Bonham Carter, Robbie Coltrane, Imelda Staunton, Jason Isaacs, Miranda Richardson, Warwick Davis, Alan Rickman, Maggie Smith, Brendan Gleeson, Ciaran Hinds, Timothy Spall, David Thewlis, Julie Walters, Tom Felton, Bonnie Wright, Jamie Campbell Bower, Richard Griffiths, Matthew Lewis, Evanna Lynch, Fiona Shaw, Helen McCrory, David O'Hara, Natalia Tena and will be released in theaters nationwide on November 19.

Top Teen Actors & Their Wages
by Kimberly Ripley
Teen actors make big bucks; but exactly who makes the most? Daniel Radcliffe of Harry Potter fame and his co-stars Emma Watson (Hermione) and Rupert Grint (Ron) come in tops, with Radcliffe grossing $20 million per film. His co-actors come in slightly less than that.
Dakota Fanning is another teen actor that earns top wages. Her films, including "Sam I Am" and about a dozen more alongside A+ actors like Tom Cruise, Robert De Niro, and Mike Myers have earned $2 billion at the box office.
Teen actor Kristen Stewart comes in next as a top earning teen actor, having gorssed $1.5 billion at the box office with her success in the "Twilight" films. She appeared in the 2002 thriller "Panic Room" with Jodie Foster, and is appearing soon in "The Runaways" with Dakota Fanning.
"New Moon" teen actor Taylor Lautner earns top wages as well, coming in at $900 billion in box office earnings.
Actor Robert Pattinson doesn't qualify as one of the top wage-earning teen actors since he is over 21.

Deathly Hollows to be released in 3-D
I just saw this news at aceshowbiz.com that HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HOLLOWS Part 2 will be released in 3-D. I can't wait to see it. Here is the full story:
'Green Lantern' and 'Deathly Hallows: Part II' to Be Released in 3-D
The superhero film was originally announced to be 2-D movie, but the next 'Harry Potter' installment had been said to get 3-D treatment.
More films are getting 3-D treatment. Following The 20th Century Fox's "Avatar" which successfully makes a lot of money by hitting 3-D theaters, Warner Bros. Pictures has announced that some of its upcoming films will get such treatment.
"Green Lantern" and "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II" are just two of the movies which are confirmed to be released in 3-D. The Ryan Reynolds-starring superhero movie was initially planned to be made into 2-D while the latest installment of the "Harry Potter" film franchise has been rumored to get the same treatment which will also be applied to "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I".
Moreover, the studio reveals that "Sucker Punch" which is directed by Zack Snyder will apply the same technology. Beside the Vanessa Hudgens-starring action comedy, another film by Snyder "Legend of the Guardians" is also going to hit 3-D theaters.
"Green Lantern" reportedly has begun test shooting on March 3 before kicking off principal photography later this month for June 17, 2011 release. Meanwhile, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II" which is set for July 15, 2011 release has been shot back to back with "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I" that will hit U.S. theaters on November 19 this year.
As of "Sucker Punch", it is aimed to get a PG-13 rating and is slated to be dropped in theaters across the U.S. on March 25, 2011. The animation debut of Synder "Legend of the Guardians", in the meantime, is set to arrive in U.S. theaters on September 24.
