DH Filming in Scottish Highlands 'Later This Year'

With filming still well underway for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (due to wrap up in the next few weeks), some news concerning early production for Deathly Hallows has surfaced online. The Scotsman is reporting tonight that scouting in the Scottish Highlands will begin later this month, with filming in Lochaber expected later this year according to the Scottish Highlands and Islands Film Commission.

Earlier this year fans will remember that producer David Heyman said that production for both Part 1 and Part 2 of Deathly Hallows will occur a the same time, starting in February 2009. So if this filming news is true, it is likely that the filming will composed mainly of scenic shots with limited cast members.
