I have just received an email from a reliable source of mine, who to date has never been wrong about the goings on in the HP world. Here is what I was informed of.

-Do not believe the rumors about PoA being "sexed up." The film's script reflects only what JK wrote, no added relationships will be thrown in the mix.

-2/3rds of the principal photography has been shot. David Thewlis and Gary Oldman are only days away from finishing, until November that is, when pickups will be done.

-The first trailer is completed and expect to see a special 30 second clip of it pop up soon.

In regards to book 6, he only had one thing to share.

-Word around work this week, is that JK publicly said "Harry sustains a minimal but lasting injury in this book." It is also reported to be roughly just under the length of GoF and will most likely be done by early January. (The first draft.).
