It would seem that even the world of wizardry is not safe from the threat of global terrorism.

Reports this week suggest that the set of the latest Harry Potter film has received a direct threat from a terrorist group.

Security on the set of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire has been stepped up in response to the warning.

The Leavesden Studio near London received the call on Friday, which reportedly threatened the film's young stars.

The latest Harry Potter film is one of Warner Bros' highest profile projects, which has made it a target for terror groups.

Last month Steven Spielberg was forced to suspend the production of his new film, Vengeance, amid concerns that the set could be attacked by terrorists.
