This from the IMDB:

Security has been stepped up on the set of the new Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire movie after the studio where it is being shot received a chilling terror threat. Leavesden Studio near London answered the menacing phone call last Friday, which warned of a brutal attack on the film's young stars. And insiders fear Al-Qaeda - the terrorist network responsible for the September 11 attacks - are behind the threat. A studio source says, "The caller apparently said, 'It's payback time... this is for all you've done to our women and kids.' The film is being made by American company Warner Bros so it sounds like it could have an Iraq or Al-Qaeda connection." Police and dog handlers have been drafted in to patrol the perimeter fence and the number of security guards has been trebled. A police spokesman says, "We are responding with extra vigilance."

Hopefully this isn't true...

well if the worst ever did happen, it would be an excuse to hire some kids that can act...

ok, thats in really poor taste, I apologise. A little.

I dunno, i think they might be laying it on a little thick-it was probably just some pissed up student trying to be funny.

"it was probably just some pissed up student trying to be funny."

No that was the screenwriter of Die Another Day.
