Harry Potter and the Studio of Fire

A film crew was forced to leave the set of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows after a special effect explosion went wrong. Despite the efforts of six fire crews, the set burned down. The damaged is estimated to be 100,000 euros or 74,000 dollars. Watford fire brigade commander Tony Smith said: ‘There is a big battle scene involving a lot of pyrotechnics and explosions. There is a mocked-up castle made of timber, steel and plastic – somehow it caught alight.’
