Filming on the Scottish set of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban was halted this weekend when a fire broke out close to where the crew were filming. The shoot was taking place near the Glenfinnan viaduct when more than 100 acres caught fire. It took firemen almost an entire day to get the blaze under control and while it's not yet known what caused the fire, local people are blaming the film crew, saying that sparks from the steam engine being used started the fire. Around 80 acres of moorland were destroyed by the blaze, which was finally put out when a helicopter was employed to waterbomb the area. Filming was quickly resumed
