Filming locations
Confirmed locations
- Leavesden Studios: has been confirmed by many sources, including J. K. Rowling, that it will, once again, be the studio location for scenes (mostly interior).
- Fort William: the Daily Telegraph has reported that Fort William will be used to show 'snow-capped mountains and glens' in the opening sequence of the film.
- Watford: where a reporter from the Australian television program "Sunrise" visited the set.

Filming rumours
- Filming will take place in the UK, presumably in Alnwick, Gloucester, and Oxford where filming for the past four movies has taken place.
- Apparently, Scotland's weather this year isn't snowy enough for the glorious magical backdrop of Hogwarts. This has led to further information regarding the fifth film being filmed overseas - which may be the case: it is rumoured that Scandinavia may soon be the replaced location
- Producer David Heyman is considering doing some filming outside the UK.
- Director David Yates is hoping to film a sequence (Wizard Chase) on the River Thames and through the London Suburbs.
- Recent rumors have stated that filming has taken place at Butler's Wharf, near Tower Bridge in London, which would agree with Yates' above statement.
