Default Harry Potter Film Cursed?
Actors and crew working on the latest Harry Potter film The Deathly Hallows are said to believe it is cursed after filming had been plagued by a number of mishaps.

In the latest incident last Wednesday, shooting was axed when the set was battered by storms.
The films star Daniel Radcliffe has received death threats from a stalker.
Also filming at Farnham, Surrey has been halted by streakers and mistakes involving special-effects fog.

It is reported that some of the actors and crew feel that the film is jinxed and that dark forces may be at work to prevent the film being finished.

Spooky.

Dave.

Ooh, that could be spooky.
Or it could be a load of old rubbish and they're just looking for an excuse to blame a bit of bad luck on

Or, of course, it could be just a crafty ploy by their publicity people

Sounds a bit like a publicity ploy - unless the death threats are only because of his involvement with this one film, the stalker had never heard of him before and ... streakers huh?

Looking into my crystal balls I forsee an insurance claim or two appearing shortly.

Only just - and not for much longer if this government has anything to do with it!
I gave up two and a half years ago for my own personal reasons - but I am a staunch supporter of Smokers' Rights and I would never preach to anybody.

Carry on, Dan!

Sadly the actor that had a small part in the new Harry potter film was stabbed why oh why are young people carrying knives now the streets are no longer a safe place to be night or day, this poor man who's family are devastated by a thugs actions. May be the Harry Potter film is cursed after all.

I'll only believe a film is "cursed" if the lead actors, director, screenwriter etc start getting decapitated by flying sheets of glass or impaled by spires falling off a churches.

A few vague stalker threats aren't enough.

Cursed no! stalking etc is just the way a fame obsessed society behaves sometimes. The young man that was killed? Just the way our society has developed lately. Violently!

IMHO of course.

Something tells me they'll soldier on. I doubt if even the decapitation of Daniel Radcliffe could stop the Potter franchise from making a profit. Some things are more powerful than any curse and one of them is the bottom line
