Harry Potter · Filming location
Millennium Bridge
In the story · Half-Blood Prince (film 6, 2009)
A real filming location. Half-Blood Prince opens with Death Eaters flying low over London: they twist this steel footbridge until it snaps and falls into the Thames. In the book the bridge was an invented one; the film chose this one, opened in 2000.
