Potter Spotter News

Charly Miller — Tue, 10 Sep 2013 22:02:20 +0000

German Potterite Wolfgang Mletzko has just completed another Harry Potter UK tour. (We’ve lost track of the number of HPP trips he’s enjoyed over the years!) Today, he’s reporting about Abbotsbury Swannery: HPP Book Three, Site #33.

Although this is a Skip-It rated Potter Place, Wolfgang thoroughly enjoyed it.

“The Swannery is worth a visit, and the pretty ‘Merry old England’ style village of Abbotsbury, too! It’s a nice day trip from London. Allow a some extra time to walk around Abbotsbury and/or Weymouth.”

While there, Wolfgang spoke with a friendly Swannery staff member who happily shared some details about the Half-Blood Prince footage shot here:

The October of 2007 location filming took place in a huge field of reeds approximately 700 meters west of the Swannery.
About 150 people and a helicopter were involved, but no principle actors–only doubles.
The original shoot lasted 3 weeks, with an additional week of filming accomplished sometime later.
All the scenes with principle actors clearly visible in the reeds were shot in the studio.
To create the studio set, filmmakers harvested a lot of reeds and moved them to Leavesden.

You can see Wolfgang’s map to the reed field film site and photos taken during his visit at:

Below is a link to his Harry Potter Film Locations map, which contains links to information about each of the UK Potter Places he’s visited.

Thank you, Wolfgang!

And,

HAPPY POTTERING!

MY FORKS RECON TRIP IS BOOKED!

Charly Miller — Tue, 26 Mar 2013 21:53:20 +0000

Stephenie Meyer’s birthday is December 24th = NOT the best time of year, weather-wise, to visit Washington’s Olympic Peninsula. Thus, in 2007, when Forks folks decided to create an annual Stephenie Meyer Day (SMD) celebration, they selected Bella’s birthday: SEPTEMBER 13th. Soon after beginning Tour The Twilight Saga research in 2013, I decided to do my recon trip to Forks, La Push, and Port Angeles during SMD week. (Quelle surpriZe!)

PREVIEW the SCHEDULE for the trip Tara (my Chief Researcher) and I will be taking in September, 2013 by clicking on the PDF link below.
BTW: If YOU’ll be attending the 2013 SMD celebration, Email me and perhaps we can meet up! chas@novelholiday dot com

TOUR THE TWILIGHT SAGA PREVIEW of FORKS & LA PUSH MAPS!

Charly Miller — Tue, 26 Mar 2013 21:48:08 +0000

Since I promised to post notes related to Tour The Twilight Saga research discoveries, here’s the first one!

Before I could schedule and book travel plans for my September recon trip to Forks, La Push, and Port Angeles during the 2013 Stephenie Meyer Day celebrations, I had to scope out all the Forks and La Push Twilight Saga sites, and make MAPS for visiting each of them. Here’s a PREVIEW of what will eventually become the TTTS Forks and La Push Maps!
