8. It was while filming the last movie in the series. The Half Blood Prince is being released on July 17, 2009. The stuntman was hurt while filming the very last movie according to AP.

9. Come on TMZ, even Entertainment Tonight got the name of the movie right...and you know its hard for the people over there to even read. Its Deathly Hallows, not Half-Blood-Prince. Better correct your mistake before you have a bunch of crazed twelve year olds out for blood. :)
