perhaps it is the door to Hogwarts... but why the need for hospital bed
surounds? (those were being taken in by the props department this evening)"
And: "Nothing really interesting to report from Oxford... certainly there
was plenty of activity, but it seems like the 'stars' won't be there till
tomorrow (Sunday)."
And: "They appear to be filming scene(s) which are set in the Hospital
Wing."

I have wandered round this evening and it looks as if they are still setting
up. I have never seen so many trucks for one movie. It is absolute chaos!

Today signs were erected in Christ Church meadow, from Warner Brothers,
apologising for any disruption caused during the filming (but did not name
the film).

On top of the hospital scenes, I was given the impression that they would be
filming the main door to the school. This, if it is true, is the filming
that will happen in and around Christ Church College. They have also been
setting up in there, so I guess something must be happening.

I plan to spend some of tomorrow wandering around seeing what is happening.
My college overlooks the Bodleian, so I should be able to get a good view,
as long as they move some of those lorries!
