Firefighters are tackling a blaze at the Warner Bros. studio near London, where all eight Harry Potter movies were filmed.
The fire broke out late on Wednesday evening, with nearby residents seeing smoke rising from the lot. It was still ablaze nearly twelve hours later, Hertfordshire County Council told CNN. "Hertfordshire County Council's Fire and Rescue Service were called to reports of a fire at Warner Bros Studios in Leavesden in Hertfordshire at 11.29 p.m. on Wednesday 10 July," the council said in a statement.
— Mark Hancock July 11, 2019 Mark Hancock, who lives near the studios, told CNN:"We first heard it about 12:15 or so this morning when a number of fire engines went past my house. Then more arrived over the next half an hour or so." "There was quite a strong smell of smoke in the air as well. As I watched the smoke appeared to get thicker, so much so that we could see the flashing lights of the fire engines reflecting off the thick smoke," he added.
