| | |  Half-Blood Prince set report
Another report has emerged from a lucky fan, this time 9 year old Kelsey Soupen, who won the chance to visit the Half-Blood Prince set and meet some of the actors. Quote:
“There were 62 winners like me from around the world and we were the first visitors ever allowed on the sets. It was amazing to go around the huge set and see those familiar sights from the movies. We saw Harry's bed in the Gryffindor dormitory, principal Dumbledore's office, some of the classrooms, Hermione's favourite place — the library and the make-up room used by the actors," recalls Kelsey.
“But the best part was having lunch in the Great Hall. I even walked up to the second row in the centre where Harry always sits with his friends. I also enjoyed the special effects demonstration where they showed us how they create the magical creatures and visual effects," she added.
Quote:
“We did get a peek at some sets and scenes from the new movie but we are not allowed to give anything away before the film is released," says Kelsey.
Although Dan Radcliffe was not on set that day, she did get to meet Katie Leung (Cho) and Matt Lewis (Neville). You can see a picture of them all here.

That girl is so lucky!!!!!!Wish that could have been me!
P.S-The contest was part of a raffle draw in Ibn Battuta Mall in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
EDIT: Well, its the one she entered, anyway. There were other contests held in other places.

We spent time here. We made friends here. That's a part of us.
Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,

Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.

I think it's a bit odd that they filmed the movie without Dan in it though, I can only come up with one reason but can't really put it in words, lol. Well he's not in absolutely every scene and sometimes, for backshots, they use doubles (because just standing there is a waste of the actors time). Quote:
Katie is in the 6th movie? Or was she just there to visit?
She's in it. Quote:
What contest did they enter and where can I enter one!?
There were several (all of which we reported on) but they've long since closed. Quote:

Heck, when I heard that they were even close to apparently putting the very next movie together I went, "Wait a minute... already?" Maybe not for some but to me it seems like we just saw "Order of the Phoenix."

That's awesome! Wonder what they learned about that they are not allowed to disclose until the film is released!?!
