I've come up with a bit of a theory about this.

They gave a new address for the casting office for POA at the end of 
september 2002 and filming started mid-feb 2003. Which means they 
were taking applications at least 4 1/2 months before they started 
shooting.

They start taking applications for GOF on 1st Jan 2004, so if they 
stick to roughly the same timetable they would start filming mid-
april at the very earliest. BUT, they'll be just starting the press 
junket for POA and Rupert Grint will be just about to take his GCSE's.

So, I reckon they'll start filming shortly after POA opens. Either, 
like COS, straight after the premiere, with clever scheduling to 
avoid using Rupert 'til he's shot of his exams, or they'll wait a 
month or so and start with everyone.

They can't leave it too long because a)they've got a 2005 release 
date and b)Dan will be taking exams the year after so his parents 
especially won't want filming to run over into may.

I may have been thinking about this a bit too much :o)
