Filming of the Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince movie started today at Gloucester Cathedral. Stars already arriving
include Alan Rickman, who plays Professor Snape, Dame Maggie Smith, who plays Professor McGonagall, and Tom Felton, who plays Draco Malfoy.
An early report states:
I saw them pouring vividly-coloured soup into bowls, with different food colourings ready to be added. It looked as though they could only be getting potions ready.
You can see some preparation pictures here of the filming and of the actors here.
Filming is expected to continue through tomorrow, Friday, February 8th. If you happen to attended please send a report or pictures our way.
UPDATE: Thanks to Potterish you can see some hi-res pictures courtesy of Splash News.
UPDATE II: Two new film reports with pictures can be seen here here. It should also be noted that one of the reports state that actress Emma Watson hasn't been seen filming at the area.
UPDATE III: You can see additional pictures here from Friday courtesy of UHP. Video also taken earlier on Friday can be seen here.

Maybe they will finish early :)
That would be nice, but really I shouldn't be rushing things. It will come out when it comes out.
And hopefully it will be amazing!

It interesting to see how different Alan Rickman looks in and out of the Snape make-up. While he has a easily identifiable face the long black hair makes him Snape.
I wonder if the pictures of the Ron/Draco look a-likes are stand-ins or stunt people.
Grr. I had another thought just as I pushed the post button.
The site they are films is so picturesque it makes me wish even more that I could be in the Harry Potter movies.
HPB comes out this year!!!
