I have! There was an article in the local Gloucester paper on 10th 
February which was later reported on the Leaky Cauldron (17th 
February, if this link doesn't work:

I wonder if they're still going to film at Christchurch College 
Oxford. That seems to be one of the few on-location sites that hasn't 
already been ruled out.

In terms of good reasons for keeping the filming in one place, they 
need only use one set of extras, rather than have new extras for each 
location which appears to have been the case for PS and CoS. It will 
also keep the costs down. I do fear that some of the ambience gained 
from filming in these old colleges and catherdrals will be lost. 
Perhaps the more imaginative filming and directing will make up for 
this.
