The return of Harry

Lacock Abbey and its grounds have again been chosen by Warner Brothers as one of the locations for the next Hollywood production based on the books of JK Rowling.

Filming for Harry Potter And The Chamber Of Secrets has already started, and film crews are expected to descend on Lacock in February.

The main actors, led by Harry star Daniel Radcliffe, will be joined by hundreds of extras and technical staff.

They will bring with them dozens of caterers, producing hot meals and snacks for the staff.

A big security operation went into operation last February when scenes were shot for Harry Potter And The Philosopher's Stone, the first film in the series which has broken box office records on both sides of the Atlantic.

The National Trust-owned abbey was used for scenes within Hogwarts School, where Harry and his friends learn the secrets of wizardry.

The arrival of film-makers has benefited the village.

Every available bed was taken during the filming and the movie has boosted the number of visiting tourists.

Chris Chappell, who manages the Red Lion pub, said he would be welcoming the Harry Potter film crew back.

He said: "It brings us a great deal of trade. We had around 50 people a day from the film set having lunch with us.

"Visitors who came hoping to get a look at the actors didn't see much because of the tight security.

"But we were very busy during the filming and our six beds were all taken up.

"We are always busy with visiting tourists, but the film can't have done us any harm."

The filming is likely to cause more disruption to motorists in the village.

Church Road was closed off completely last February and the area around the Abbey was sealed off.

Three huge marquees were erected in the abbey grounds, and about 350 cast and crew stayed in the village for a week.

The cast of the current film includes Robbie Coltrane, John Cleese, Richard Harris, Dame Maggie Smith and Julie Walters.
