New Potter flick underway

Filming is underway on the fourth Harry Potter film.

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire sees the regular cast joined by British actor Ralph Fiennes.

The English Patient star will play Harry's nemesis, Lord Voldemort.

The production team was keeping details of the script close to its chest as filming got underway in Leavesden Studios near Watford.

Pictures were released this week of what looked like a giant campsite near the studio. The collection of tents is thought to be part of the set for the Quidditch World Cup.

The Goblet of Fire, based on the fourth book in the Harry Potter series, is due for release next year.

Book five, Harry Potter and The Order of The Phoenix, was published last year and, given the success of the first three films, is also likely to be adapted for the big screen.
