I'd sort of thought they'd mainly be filming inside the Shrieking Shack, and that I'm sure would be a set in the studio in London.

About Gary Oldman as Peter Pettigrew--I'd sort of imagined him shorter. IMDB says he's 5'9" so I suppose if Lupin and Black are at least 6' (Black for sure) it would work.  He does need to be taller than Harry, I imagine, and Daniel's 5'4" (at the moment!) Still, Oldman could stoop over and crawl around looking pathetic, I suppose. I must confess I've only seen Gary Oldman in three movies--Air Force One, The Fifth Element, and Lost in Space.  He does have that "weird bad guy who you didn't know was a bad guy" thing going pretty well.
