I read in the Cherwell this evening that they're definitely filming 
HP at Christ Church - there was something about the meadow and 
approach to the college which I didn't entirely get, not having been 
there myself, but it said they were using it as the approach to the 
main gates of Hogwarts.  Whether I should trust the Cherwell or not 
is another question...
