IS THE EPIC BATTLE AT HOGWARTS BEING FILMED NOW FOR ‘HARRY POTTER & THE DEATHLY HALLOWS’?

examiner.com: It’s the culmination of seven books and an extremely long journey for boy wizard Harry Potter and his friends. We’re talking, of course, about the epic battle at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry at the end of J.K. Rowling’s seventh and final book in the series, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

It is during this epic battle when the forces of good band together to fight off the evil hordes of Death Eaters and their master, Lord Voldemort (He Who Must Not Be Named).
For readers, the scene is vast and emotional. Rowling doesn’t shy away from the violence fans can attest to that, and the proof is in the body count by the time all seven Potter books are through.

It seems that crews have already finished filming the first of the two-part adaptation of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, and they are hard at work filming Part 2. After that, that’s it. The end.
