Harry Potter fans, break out your wands and invisible cloaks.

An inside source confirms to EW that a Potter “mini movie” — following the franchise’s eighth film Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 — is being filmed at the Harry Potter studios in Hertfordshire, England with cast members including Helena Bonham Carter (as evil death eater Bellatrix Lestrange).

The mini movie will appear exclusively at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter themed area at Universal Orlando’s Islands of Adventure in Florida, as well as Potter-themed areas under construction at Universal Studios Japan and Universal Studios Hollywood. The Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Orlando opened to the fan-frenzied public in 2010.

Helena Bonham Carter gets witchy in 'Great Expectations' trailer -- VIDEO

Tags: , , ,

There have been many adaptations of Charles Dickens’ Great Expectations — from Alfonso Cuaron’s 1998 modern-day vision with Gwyneth Paltrow and Ethan Hawke, to the more recent PBS miniseries with Gillian Anderson. But the last big-screen version that kept the classic tale firmly rooted in the 1860s hit theaters back in 1946 — and won two Academy Awards.

So must be about time for a new rendition. A trailer for the upcoming Mike Newell-helmed adaptation shows Helena Bonham Carter looking so very Helena Bonham Carter-y in period dress as the wealthy, wicked spinster Miss Havisham. The film, which will be shown at the Toronto International Film Festival this fall, also stars Ralph Fiennes, War Horse‘s Jeremy Irvine as Pip, and Hagrid himself Robbie Coltrane.

Check out the international trailer (in English with German subtitles) below: READ FULL STORY »
