I knew moving to a quaint village would pay off…

by

Lacock Abbey (and its surroundings) has been a favorite filming location for the producers of the Harry Potter movies, and the latest, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince is no exception.

The Wiltshire Times reports that the production folks have met with the (ie 40) villagers and they’ve agreed to give up their town, yet again, for four days of filming, this October.

The town and its residents won’t merely be rewarded with the honor of seeing their village in the movies, there’s also cash consideration. The village will receive a payment of 30,000 pounds and each resident (let’s move now!) will receive 200 pounds and (if you’ve ever lived near a production site you’ll know), perhaps, more importantly, a secure parking spot.
