Anyone else so excited for the upcoming first part of Deathly Hallows? I can't wait personally!

I wonder where the split will be, I'd have thought it would be before the Battle of Hogwarts. Maybe when the trio arrive at Bill and Fleur's cottage to discover that Dobby has died? [edited 10/07/11: I was right! :amazed:]

I don't want it to end though, it's the end of my childhood. :bawling: I've grown up with the books and the films


Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 - November 19th 2010

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 - July 15th 2011

[Princess]

I heard the slipt was after Grignotts but that's like way over halfway in. I can't wait,it looks amazing,although it's the only book left that the movie hasn't changed the stuff I've seen in my head while reading,

[Stephanie]

i seriously can't wait. aaaah.

[Callum]

Yeah that is over half way but it is in the trailer. It could even end by when Harry sees the doe in the forest or sees Dean, who knows. It needs to end on a cliffhanger though I'd say.

Dobby's funeral looks so sad. :sad:

[Princess]

Yeah but the bit where Harry goes to find Voldemort seems to be in the trailer too and that's definitely in the 2nd one. Ah well we'll find out soon enough.

Yeah :( I'm gonna cry so much with all the deaths.

[InOne]

Is this the book with the big twist with Snape?

[Princess]

Yeah,although that'll be in the 2nd part.

[Callum]

When Harry and Ginny kiss in the trailer, I paused it and behind you can see all Hogwarts students running down Hogwarts stairs so I'm assuming that's the Battle of Hogwarts which has to be in the second film.

[Boothy]

Looking forward to this so much.

[MissKittyFantastico]

Ahhhhhhh I seriously can't wait. Am re reading that book at the moment :)

[King Gizzard]

Isnt the big twist with Snape in Half Blood Prince though? :conf:


Been so long since I read the books

[MissKittyFantastico]

Nah it's in the last book Nate.

[King Gizzard]

The big twist is him killing dumbledore isnt it? lol

[MissKittyFantastico]

Nooooooooooooo!

You need to read the last book again :laugh:

[BOOSH]

:love:

[Callum]

New trailer to premiere online on Monday with new footage from both movies. Exciting!

[Beastie]

I can't wait. So the first part of the film is out this November? then the 2nd half of the film is out next July 2011?

Because I remember they were on about 3 parts and the last part being aired in 2013!! I was a bit grrrrrrr about that!! so I hope they have originally stuck with 2 parts lol

[Beastie]

The big twist is him killing dumbledore isnt it? lol

He died in the 6th book/film. We are onto the last (7th) film now! :hugesmile:

[BigSister]

woo the first part is out on my friends birthday good birthday present ^_^
I need to reread it as well i think i know what the snape twist is but cant really remember

[Callum]

Third part rumour was a hoax, thebeast. I love HP but they wouldn't have been able to drag it out into 3 parts, would have been too much.

New trailer will be online at 12am! So excited! The images I've seen from it look epic. There was one of Harry duelling Voldemort in the courtyard and one showing the Battle of Hogwarts.

[Callum]

New trailer is here!!!!!! Aaah it's amazing, just as I imagined. Battle looks soooooo freaking epic.

http://www.mugglenet.com/trailer.php

[Ninastar]

Jesus Christ!!! It looks amazing.

[Shaun]

amazing.

[Tom4784]

I almost let out a Twilight fangirl-esque scream when I saw that trailer. I can't wait.

[Firewire]

Can't wait!

[Callum]

I am so upset that Harry and Voldemort's duel has been changed to be in the courtyard instead of the great hall.

[Princess]

EPIC much!

[MissKittyFantastico]

It's gonna be in 3D too, ahhhh that will actually be amazing <3

[Princess]

I hope they show it in 2D as well as 3D.

[Violetfairy]

I so can not wait for the first instalment of the deathly hallows, I've been re-reading the whole series of books and listening to the audio books - I do love Stephen Fry's eloquent expressions.

[Smithy]

I am so upset that Harry and Voldemort's duel has been changed to be in the courtyard instead of the great hall.

Ugh IK

I hope they haven't changed much else, I was aways hoping it'd be just how I'd imagined it in my mind :(

[Callum]

I hope the split is at Fred and George's cottage after Dobby's funeral

I am glad that up to 45 minutes of the second film will be entirely the Battle though. Will be nice to see Hogwarts before it's destroyed. :(

[Ninastar]

In an odd and kinda horrible way, Im looking forward to seeing it all destroyed. It will be so sad though.

[Smithy]

Will be nice to see hogwarts being destroyed too though

[Princess]

I'm gutted about the final battle as well. I'm going to reread the book a good few times so I can keep all the stuff I've imagined in my head,so it doesn't get replaced by movie footage.

[Callum]

I always imagined the final duel between Harry and Voldemort in the Great Hall with lots of people around fighting their own little duels. Mrs Weasley was definitely there in the book and McGonagall too. Can't believe they've changed it, that's like the main scene in the whole series. :(

[Smithy]

Haha I was just thinking that too

I hope Mrs Weasley still screams You Bitch, Ive been looking forward to that for ages :p

[Callum]

I hope Mrs Weasley still screams You Bitch, Ive been looking forward to that for ages :p

Me too, that's one of the most epic lines in HP ever. :hugesmile:

You never know, maybe they like still have action going on in the Great Hall with Mrs Weasley and all the others fighting and then they cut to Voldemort and Harry duelling in the courtyard. Fingers crossed anyway, they can't leave the Great Hall out completely surely. :(

[Princess]

I say they'll still have most the battle in the Great Hall(they'll have too loads of main characters die then,and they have to have NOT MY DAUGHTER YOU BITCH! cos thats when Molly kills Bellatrix) but maybe Voldemort and Harry will go out to the courtyard? I don't know.

[Smithy]

I was thinking that too, They may start in the hall but then they gradually duel their way into the courtyard

[Callum]

Hmm I hope so because one of the reason that battle is so iconic is because of the Great Hall and Mrs Weasley's line to Bellatrix. I loved how Harry had a crowd watching whilst he was duelling Voldemort but they were also fighting their own battles against the Death Eaters.

Oh and apparently in the film Crabbe is completely removed because he was arrested last year for cannabis possession meaning in the Fiendfyre scene where Draco and the trio fight, Crabbe's been replaced with Blaise.

[King Gizzard]

It sucks that there is going to be a big gap between two parts that continue directly after each other

[setanta]

It's going to be good, but can't say that I like how the trailer was produced. Just felt totally different to the rest. Still though, the clips look magic.

[King Gizzard]

Think it looks different cause there is little of Hogwarts in it

[setanta]

Maybe, but I think they got somebody new in to put it together. Just feels different. Don't ask me why though!

[King Gizzard]

Wouldn't surprise me

they've gone through a few producers, editors and a couple of directors throughout the series

[Glenn.]

I hope the split is at Fred and George's cottage after Dobby's funeral

I am glad that up to 45 minutes of the second film will be entirely the Battle though. Will be nice to see Hogwarts before it's destroyed. :(

Its actually Bill and Fleur's cottage. Shell Cottage to be exact:blush:

I'm annoyed that they've changed the final duel between Harry and Voldemort, especially when you think that the entire series has been leading to that moment. When I read it in the book I went all goosebumby and I was looking forward to it translating onto the screen.
Other than that its going to be epic. Actually scratch that, epic doesn't even cover what this film is going to be.

Hmm I think the 1st ever poster might have been their inspiration for this one

[Smithy]

omg that seems so long ago :bawling:

[Glenn.]

From the trailer I can't believe how much the castle gets destroyed. Its brilliant but damn, the four founders would be turning in their graves!!

[Callum]

The Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows split point has been revealed.

Warner Bros confirmed last year that the final instalment would be released in two parts, with the second part arriving eight months after the first.

In a report, Entertainment Weekly confirmed that the split point would occur around chapter 24 of J.K. Rowling's book.

The scene will see Lord Voldermort (Ralph Fiennes) gain possession of The Elder Wand as he takes it from former Hogwarts headmaster Albus Dumbledore's (Sir Michael Gambon) tomb.

Faced with accusations that the split had happened for 'purely financial reasons', Warner Bros Entertainment president Alan Horn hit back.

"The key word there is purely," he said.

"There's no question that Warner Bros will make more money with two films than they would have with one. But we also never ever would have done this if Jo [Rowling] had not endorsed it, and if we didn't feel that we were providing a better finale, with a more full sense of closure."

He continued: "We just respect and love the books too much for that."

The Potter films' producer David Heyman previously said that the split point would be "incredibly dramatic, very moving and make people want to watch the next film".

Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows: Part One will open in cinemas in November.

Interesting, would never thought of that point for the split.

[Callum]

New pictures!!!!

http://media.mugglenet.com/i//movie7/triogrimmauldplace.jpg

More here: http://www.mugglenet.com/app/news/show/3711

Getting so so so excited for this now!! Currently listening to all the audiobooks, narrated by Stephen Fry. He's perfect for HP, he does all the voices well. Apart from Draco, which he doesn't sound anything like film Draco.

[Princess]

That happened around Shell Cottage which is about right.

[Callum]

There was a test screening last night and there's a Twilight reference! Not happy about that at all. It's just jumping on the bandwagon and getting the film and Twilight more publicity. Oh and apparently there's a scene in the film where all of Ron's worst fears come true including seeing Harry and Hermione topless in bed making out.

[Smithy]

I need to read the book again, because the split point means nothing to me :laugh:

[Callum]

The film also is 2 and a half hours long and that's only part 1.

[Callum]

Sooo excited :lovedup:

Although the Harry/Hermione making out scene will be awkward, they are not suited! D:

[Callum]

http://media.mugglenet.com/i//movie7/hermionelocket.jpg

Sooo pretty!!!

http://media.mugglenet.com/i//movie7/ronhermionetent.jpg

Awww! This must be after the fight

[Glenn.]

Really cannot wait for this film!!

[Callum]

Wow!!!

KE5PrDSDZxo

2 months away!!!

[Jessica.]

Wow!!!

KE5PrDSDZxo

2 months away!!!

Ahh! (L)

I actually can't wait. I wanna see it soo bad. The book was amazing, I think the film will probably be as good, well I hope anyway. Hurry up November!

[Callum]

Only thing I'm not looking forward to from the first film is in Ron's nightmare he sees Harry and Hermione making out. That will be awkward to watch.

[BOOSH]

I don't want it to end :'(

[Callum]

I don't want it to end :'(

:bawling:

[Glenn.]

Just to give youthe heads up. A new full length trailer for the first film should be hitting the web within the next two weeks. Before the end of September anyway. Heard on LeakyNews:thumbs:

[Glenn.]

The new trailer will hit the web on Wednesday 22nd. Only trouble is that its being released 9pm EST which means us the UK have to wait up until 2am to watch a trailer for a BRITISH film, adapted from a book a BRITISH author wrote.
Why does america get the convenient release times for trailers etc?
Its a British film?

[Callum]

I know, it's unfair! :( I guess they know it will do better at the US Box Office so they try and promote more there.

[Marsh.]

I hope there not going to try to add some stupid triangle-like scenes between the trio making it seem like the one from the crappy unoriginal Twilight films.
I mean I know nothing actually happens between Harry and Hermione but the last couple of films have gone on a tangent with their own drastic OTT versions of things.

Anyway, I'm most looking forward to seeing the scenes set in Godric's Hollow. I hope it lives up to how I imagined the place in the books, they were some of my favourite scenes in the last book with the Halloween flashback.

[InOne]

The Half Blood Prince was the darkest book I think. They didn't capture that in the film at all I thought. It's a shame really.

[KG.]

I re-read the book a couple of weeks ago so it's fresh in my mind for the film release which I'm looking forward too.

Although who is the guy in the clips that holds his hand out infront of the Hogwart's Express? (Death Eater I'm presuming) I can't work it out..

It was an added scene the producers added to the film. The man I a death eater stoppin the train to search for Harry.

Loving the new pictures too! Emma looks absolutely stunning in one of them

[Glenn.]

Just seen the new trailer and OMG!!! Can't wait for this film!!!!!

[Shaun]

wow.

The opening should be amazing, with the duplicate Harrys and the sabotage :( I can't wait. I know everyone says that, but I can't.

[Tom4784]

It looks amazing.

[Princess]

SCREAM!!!!!!!!!!! It looks amazing!!! *does excited dance*

New trailer is amazing :love: :love: :love:

Nagini looks amazing :love:

[Callum]

Does Malfoy Manor look exactly how anyone else imagined in the trailer?

[Callum]

Jo has recorded an interview with Oprah, which is due to be aired in America on Friday:

http://media.mugglenet.com/i//jkroprah.jpeg

I'm so excited :D She hardly ever does interviews.

[InOne]

Looks epic :shocked: Looks quite dark as well which I'm loving!

[Glenn.]

I can't wait for this film!!!
Really cannot wait. I have the trailer on my iPod and when I want a quick fix I watch it:blush:

[Callum]

I have both of them, have watched them looooads.

[MissKittyFantastico]

Oh my god that trailer...just when I thought I couldn't get any more excited!!

Hurry up November!

[Vicky.]

Looks very very dark.

I like it :D

[Callum]

These two films will no doubt be the darkest by a long shot but I hope they include a bit of comedy and light hearted scenes too, don't want it to be doom and gloom the whole film. :(

[Beastie]

Can't wait.

I am going to get the Harry Potter boxset for next Christmas. Seeing as though the final Harry Potter is out next July! :) I might as well wait for a boxset.. rather than get the first 6 and the 7th one seperately!!

[Marsh.]

It's suitably dark in all of the right places but I imagined the scene at the table with Nagini more horror-esque. Probably more of a stephen king thing. Don't like how they took Voldemort's red eyes out of the film, his red eyes in the darkness creates a disturbing image I thought.
Plus, Dumbledore's tomb I imagined more cave-like inside. Rather than a nice white box. lol

But one image I hope they get right is when Harry is talking with Ollivander and his mind starts seeing through Voldemort's eyes and the way the book describes Voldemort's silhouette over the lake heading towards Hogwarts. Found that chilling in the book.

Can't wait for JK's interview, last one I saw was on Jonathan Ross for the final book's release. Hopefully this one will be more insightful than that.

[Callum]

I know, Dumbledore's tomb isn't how I imagined at all. It looks more like a statue than a tomb.

[Glenn.]

Same. I love that part of the book.

I know, Dumbledore's tomb isn't how I imagined at all. It looks more like a statue than a tomb.

Ditto. It could of been a little grave-like. If you know what I mean.

[Callum]

Anyone else watch the interview with Jo on Oprah?

She said she could definitley write an eighth, ninth and tenth book but that doesn't mean she's going to. :(

[Callum]

Currently having a re-read of all the books

On Goblet of Fire at the moment, anyone else planning on re-reading them before Deathly Hallows? Only 7 weeks to go now! :D

[Glenn.]

Yeah I watched it last night. I dont think she will write another one to be honest.

Im re-reading them. Im on Order of the Phoenix. I think the OotP film was crap in respect to the book.

[Marsh.]

I thought only the first two really managed to grasp the actual feel of the books.
The third wasn't like how I imagined the book but it was a good film all the same.
I've personally hated the 5th and 6th ones so I'm not looking forward to another one from this David Yates chap. So far he's demonstrated that he has a completely different idea and take on the books to me.

As for the books I think she may write another in a few years based in the Harry Potter universe but not about Harry. Harry's story is definitely finished I'd say.

[Callum]

New posters are amazing, I love them!

9 amazing TV spots (basically mini trailers) have been released and they are incredible! My personal favorite, the Seven Potters scene looks so funny and I love Dobby saying to Hermione "I like her very much" :laugh:

http://www.fanpop.com/spots/harry-potter/articles/67250/title/deathly-hallows-differences-from-books

Some of the supposed changes from the book. They could be worse I guess but the lack of polyjuice potion annoys me, cos it was a big part in the book. Guess they want to keep themselves looking themselves as much as possible.

That does seem a bit stupid, bearing in mind that in the book the reason that they take the Polyjuice potion when they go to Godrics Hollow is because they know that Voldemort would expect Harry to go there, especially when he visits his parent's grave.

I like that they are opening the first film with Dumbledore's funeral though, as that was one thing that annoyed me with the HBP, his death, the lead up to it and afterwards was all way too rushed considering they had just killed off a major character.

[Glenn.]

I like the sound of the Quidditch Field burning down.

[Marsh.]

I don't mind the changes they've stated. Obviously they want more screentime for the actual actors rather than "disguise actors" but I hope they try to explain the plot hole of why they would go to Godric's Hollow with no disguise. Nagini's attack being in a brightly lit room bothers me slightly since it was very sinister and dark in the book.
And apparently they have to give exposition for appearance of characters that they didn't put into the previous films, sounds a bit crap.
Other than that there's nothing major that's changed.

[Shaun]

The scene added about Hermione leaving her parents looks horribly sad - she has to erase their memories of her parents (all of them) so that Voldemort can't torture them for information. There was something I reblogged on Tumblr about it.

Aww I actually like that they've added that, it only gets mentioned briefly in the book, but it makes you realise how much Ron and Hermione are willing to risk/give up to help Harry on his Horcrux quest.

I'm assuming they won't be able to show Ron's part with the ghoul with spattergroit that is going to be his cover :laugh: bearing in mind the Burrow burned down in the HBP film. That was another part that annoyed me in that film, there was no need for it and they could have saved the time wasted on that for the fight at Hogwarts that led up to Dumbledore's death. They rushed that too much for me and it was almost like a non event whereas it's a big battle in the book.

[Callum]

Tickets now on sale :D

They didn't want to do a big Hogwarts fight scene in HBP aas they thought it would diminish the impact of the end fight in Deathly Hallows. They added in the Burrow bit to put a bit more action in.

[Callum]

So happy I have an Odeon Premiere Club card now, I just booked to see Deathly Hallows in the IMAX screen and I didn't have to pay a penny. :D

I really want to see it twice on November 19th though, once in the morning and again in the evening.

[MissKittyFantastico]

Meh, I still think the burning down of the Burrow was pointless and also means they can't have the lead up to the wedding stuff nor the Ron part I mentioned above in the last film now. I was really disappointed at how short and how much of a non event the whole lead up to Dumbledore's death was.

Booked tickets last night! :D

[Callum]

Runtime for Part 1 is 147 minutes, the third shortest in the franchise so far. Really excited for November 19th now although I wish I was going to the London premiere as well.

[Callum]

Going twice now on November 19th, once in the morning and again in the night. It probably would have made more sense to go on Saturday as well as Friday but I can see Saturday being packed with general cinema goers who aren't necessarily fans of the books.

[Glenn.]

Ill be going on the Friday.

[Callum]

20 days :D I have a countdown on my computer

[Callum]

New videos!

Eeeeeeeeeeeeek!! Really can't wait! Have booked tickets for the Friday it comes out and for the Sunday as well :)

[Callum]

I've nearly finished my reread of Half-Blood Price so will just have Hallows after that then I'm all ready for this film! Will probably watch all the films again before the 19th too :D

[Princess]

Can't wait to see it tomorrow! Got one class beforehand and it's about Harry Potter :D

[Niall]

I'm seeing this next Friday with my mates. Should be awesome :love:

Next week in general is gonna be awesome. I only have my (mock) exams on Monday (which finishes at 10am) and Wednesday. Civilisation V for Mac is coming out on Tuesday as well so Ima be playing that for ages.

These past couple weeks have been epic

[Vicky.]

Going to see this today, going earlyish to hopefully avoid the schoolies...

[Callum]

Just got back from seeing it. I loved it, had such a different feel to it without Hogwarts but it was still amazing. I got chills loads with the amount of times the dialogue or action was completely accurate to the book. The Harry/Hermione horcrux scene was just how I imagined it to be, was spooky at the same time though. The Ministry scenes were amazing, I loved the chase and Yaxley was great. Scrimegour was good but he sounded really Welsh. Was disappointed that the Dursely's never got a proper exit but the added scene with Hermione and her parents was so sad. The animation of The Three Brothers was great as well. The ending though :(

[Barbie]

Where does the film end ready for part 2?

[Callum]

Where does the film end ready for part 2?

When Voldemort breaks into Dumbledore's tomb and gets the Elder Wand and shoots sparks into the sky

[Barbie]

I thought it might be then!

Worth seeing then?

[Callum]

I thought it might be then!

Worth seeing then?

Oh definitely! It feels different from the others like I mentioned but it's just as good. Although it's worth mentioning there is lots of scenes where there's just no talking, like you just see Harry and Hermione travelling to different locations. Book fans will understand this but to new fans or just fans of the films they might find this a bit strange.

[IheartBB]

Pretty accurate to the book... well, except the one ridiculous part that Warner Bros. probably demanded.

[Barbie]

It annoys me when they change the book and make it worse, what was the stupid part they put in?

[Callum]

Pretty accurate to the book... well, except the one ridiculous part that Warner Bros. probably demanded.

Are you on about the dance between Harry and Hermione?

[IheartBB]

Are you on about the dance between Harry and Hermione?

No, but I suppose that was another bit - it didn't harm anyone though, just a bit pointless.

No the part I'm talking about lasted all of 5 seconds...

Naked kissing scene

Seems trivial, but me and quite a few others actually LOL'd.

[Callum]

That was pretty intense but it was in the book that they were seen embracing, I don't think they needed to be naked though.

[IheartBB]

I suppose it was an interesting interpretation...

It seems silly, but people were talking about that little scene as they left the cinema today - it just seemed to tarnish an otherwise solid film.

[Callum]

Can't wait to watch it again at 8pm :D

[Shaun]

Seeing at 5:15 :)

[MissKittyFantastico]

Going at 9pm :)

[Jevans]

Going at 8pm :D

[Tom4784]

I'm going during the week I think, avoiding the crowds.

[GypsyGoth]

It was amazing, I've been twice today :blush:

[Patrick]

I'm going during the week I think, avoiding the crowds.

This.

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

i might watch this. i stopped reading the books at the prisoner of azkaban coz after that they just got bollok numbingly long

[Joe.]

OH MY GOD!! I loved it! Incredible. Best film yet. Bit complicated in places but apart from that it was incredible. Cannot wait for part 2 it should be out sooner. It was epic. I want to go see it again now!!

[Shaun]

was pretty amazing. The final scenes...I was trying my best to compose myself :(

[Shaun]

And I was a bit disappointed with

How quickly they glossed over the deaths of Hedwig and Mad-Eye. Literally all that was shown was Bill shouting randomly MAD-EYE'S DEAD! and an owl falling from the sky... she was basically a main character :(

[Shaun]

OMG
I forgot until about 5 mins before the start that hedwig died, I was like noooooo I don't wanna see the owl die :bawling:

My friend cried when dobby died

:love: So excited for part two!

[InOne]

Got to say it was epic! Loved the fact they took quotes from the book. They did the best they could with keeping it true to the book. The bit with Harry and Hermionie dancing particularly stuck in my mind for some reason lol loved it

[Jevans]

And I was a bit disappointed with

I totally agree! I was slightly mad at that and the fact that ...

Harry never acknowledged the fact that Mad Eyes eye was on Umbridge's door.

[Princess]

I saw it last night,loveeeeed it. Bit different from the books but sure they always are.I loved all the Ron/Hermione moments,I hid for the Horcrux Harry/Hermione kiss(what was that?! :|) and BAWLED when Dobby died. Cried when Hedwig died and when they went to his parents grave and when Hermione was getting tortured.

And none of that is a spoiler cos it all happened in the book :p

Not everyone will have read the book, please consider them as well in the future.

[InOne]

I can accept the changes this time though, because it was a great movie, they really tried to get a lot of the book in. Unlike the HBP which was a train wreck. And some of it was very close to how I imagined it in the book, which is always a bonus.

[Callum]

I wish the Death Eaters would have taken Luna from the train when they stopped it, would have made that scene better. It was so short.

[Princess]

Yeah but they didn't take her until after Christmas,that was on the first day back.

[Vicky.]

I thought it was great. And cried my eyes out near the end (already spoilered why :p)...first time ever that i have cried in the cinema :rolleyes:

[Princess]

Can someone just not put (contains spoilers) in the thread title? Cos most people have read the book anyways.

[Callum]

Yeah but they didn't take her until after Christmas,that was on the first day back.

I know that but it just felt like a scene that could have better, in my opinion it should have been done later on and they should have taken her to show how bad things were. :shrug:

Really want to see it again for the third time, it was so consistently accurate to the book. Except for a few bits like no Dudley shaking Harry's hand and no argument in Grimmauld Place with Lupin or Harry seeing Lily's letter. :(

[Princess]

Yeah there was a good few bits missing but it stuck to the book a lot more than some of the last couple have. Like with Hedwig,they just made that bit shorter but still fit in with what they left out.

[Shaun]

Can someone just not put (contains spoilers) in the thread title? Cos most people have read the book anyways.

I saw your tumblr post and agree completely - I hate all of these people demanding "NO SPOILERS!"

It's been written on paper for 3 and a half bloody years!

[Vicky.]

Well...spoilers in here though are really going to be things that the film missed out that are in the book and that/things they changed, I think its fair enough to expect that to be in spoilers...though yeah, the actual book has been out for years and to expect some of the main talking points to not be discussed it a bit odd :laugh:

To add to my crying at dobbys death...

I also didnt like how they glossed over the goodbye thing with the Dursleys and Harry, when Dudley admits that he doesnt hate him...thought that would be good to see

I liked what they did with Hedwig...when they made her sacrifice herself instead of just dying while sitting in the cage :')

Was pleasantly surprised they did not do the scene with the wizard being given puking pastels and spewing all over the place...was expecting to have to block my ears and shut my eyes :p

[Shaun]

Oh I also loved Dave from Gavin&Stacey's appearance as Reg Cattermole :love:

[Smithy]

lol at Stella from EE and Ted from Corrie being in there :joker:

[Callum]

Oh I also loved Dave from Gavin&Stacey's appearance as Reg Cattermole :love:

Haha me too, when he just appeared after Ron kissed his wife in a vest and shorts was hilarious. :joker:

[InOne]

Anyone who watches the film should've read the books anyway. If not, shush :nono:

[Shaun]

lol at Stella from EE and Ted from Corrie being in there :joker:

I knew I recognised her! No idea who Harry's polyjuice guy was though

[Smithy]

I knew I recognised her! No idea who Harry's polyjuice guy was though

No me either :hugesmile: but Ted was the old guy(Grindelwald (sp?)) who was in the prison cell when Voldemort was looking for the Elder wand :bigsmile:

[Callum]

I thought I recognised Grindelwald from somewhere! :shocked:

Bill Nighy was good as Scrimgeour I thought but he sounded really Welsh, especially when he was reading out the will.

[Shaun]

Yeah I didn't remember Scrimgeour being Welsh LOL

[Adamw92]

I absolutely loved the film! saw the first showing at my cinema on friday morning and it was just amazing, lots of sad moments and great action, one of the saddest moments for me:

At the beginning when Hermione had to erase her parent's memories and remove herself from all the family photos.

[MeMyselfAndI]

when dobby dies i was so gutted lol

[Braden]

Hopefully watching this today :)

I watched the first 36 minutes and though it was very dark and emotional. Can't wait to see Dolores' in the film, she's my favourite character...And Luna, Fleur and Cho :love:

[Z]

I started crying when Hedwig died, I like that they changed it to her sacrificing herself for Harry, genuinely a beautiful moment! People started cheering and clapping at Dobby's speech at the end in the showing I was at, actually really added to the experience for me haha, cried at that too... I really loved the film, it seemed a lot more mature than previous HP films, a lot truer to the original book and generally a greater standard in all aspects, better special effects, acting etc... Loved it! Dobby's death was so sad gah!

Harry Potter has cast his biggest box-office spell yet with a franchise record $125.1 million domestically over opening weekend, according to studio estimates Sunday.

"Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1" also added $205 million in 54 overseas countries, bringing the film's worldwide total to $330.1 million.

In terms of domestic revenue, "Deathly Hallows: Part 1" came in ahead of the series' best previous debut of $102.7 million for 2005's "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire."
But factoring in today's higher admission prices, the latest movie had roughly the same size audience as the franchise's best previous draws — "Goblet of Fire" and 2001's "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone," which launched the series. "Deathly Hallows" and those two earlier movies each sold around 16 million tickets in their first weekend.

Overseas markets for "Deathly Hallows" were led by a $28 million opening in Great Britain, $21.8 million in Germany, $14.8 million in Australia, $14 million in Japan and $12.3 million in Russia.

The movie audience has grown up along with young wizard Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) and his friends Hermione (Emma Watson) and Ron (Rupert Grint). Distributor Warner Bros. reported that 25 percent of the audience for the new movie was between 18 and 34, compared with only 10 percent for "Sorcerer's Stone" nine years ago.
"When we started 'Harry Potter,' basically, the audience was driven to theaters by their parents. Today, those same kids are driving to the midnight shows themselves," said Dan Fellman, head of distribution for Warner Bros.

Playing in 4,125 theaters domestically, "Deathly Hallows: Part 1" averaged an enormous $30,332 a cinema.

The huge opening bodes well for next July's "Deathly Hallows: Part 2," the eighth and final movie based on J.K. Rowling's seven "Harry Potter" novels. The franchise so far has taken in more than $5.5 billion worldwide.

Warner Bros. plans to release "Deathly Hallows: Part 2" in 3-D, which should give it a big box-office boost, since theaters charge a few dollars more to see movies projected in 3-D compared with 2-D.

"This is kind of the warmup to the potentially 3-D supercharged finale, and that could really take these 'Potter' numbers to another level," said Paul Dergarabedian, box-office analyst for Hollywood.com.

The studio had hoped to release "Deathly Hallows: Part 1" in 3-D, but the filmmakers ran out of time to convert the film, which was shot in 2-D, for 3-D projection.

"Deathly Hallows: Part 1" landed at No. 6 on the domestic revenue chart for biggest opening weekends, a list headed by 2008's "The Dark Knight" with $158.4 million. It also was this year's second-biggest debut, behind "Iron Man 2," which is No. 5 on the all-time chart with $128.1 million.

With $61.2 million Friday, "Deathly Hallows: Part 1" had the fifth-biggest opening day ever.

The film took in $12.4 million, just over 10 percent of its weekend domestic revenue, in huge-screen IMAX theaters. That broke the previous IMAX record debut of $12.1 million set in March by "Alice in Wonderland."

The figures for the UK are amazing, apparently Britain's biggest ever opening weekend sales. :shocked:

[Smithy]

But we all know that when part two comes out.... :joker:

[InOne]

This movie deserves the most money

[Callum]

^Agreed, it really was the most faithful to the book. I do find it quite strange though that the shortest film of the series is Order of the Phoenix which coincidentally is the longest book. So much was left out of that film, we hardly saw Kreacher and I was gutted we didn't get to see the spinning room in the Deparment of Mysteries. I was really looking forward to seeing the Thought chamber, the Space chamer and the Time chamber. :(

Anyone watch the "Behind the Magic" Deathly Hallows special on ITV1 yesterday? I'm going to watch it in a bit, I loved the one for HBP. :D

[InOne]

One thing that sort of niggled me a little was the fact they didn't mention when you say Voldermorts name they appear. Like Lovegood even did it in the house. I guess they had to change the radio bit though as it seemed quite an important thing in the film.

[Princess]

Me and my friend were talking today about the movie and I said I cried at Dobby dying and my friend's friend was like 'Oh no don't tell me that!' and I started ranting full on at her how it was her own fault if she hadn't read the book.

[InOne]

Exactly, they call themselves HP fans? :nono:

[Princess]

Exactly! And she was like 'I grew up with the movies' and I went 'I grew up with the books'. Drives me mad.

[Callum]

One thing that sort of niggled me a little was the fact they didn't mention when you say Voldermorts name they appear. Like Lovegood even did it in the house. I guess they had to change the radio bit though as it seemed quite an important thing in the film.

Yeah I wish they would have mentioned the taboo, because both times when Xenophilius said his name and in Shaftesbury Avenue, Death Eaters turned up and to the casual film goer this would have seemed odd, because no explanation as given as to why they randomly appeared. Another thing that annoyed me in regards to Dobby was how his death wasn't as sad as it could have been as he was only previously in Chamber of Secrets. He's also in the Goblet of Fire, Order of the Phoenix and Half-Blood Prince books but he wasn't shown in the films, if he would have been then I think his death would have been even more tragic.

Also I didn't think enough emphasis was put on Dumbledore. In the books, the theme of his family and Harry being angry with him is a fairly big theme yet it was only mentioned once in the film by Muriel at the wedding and even then it was brief. I'll be curious to see how they show this in the second film because of course we meet Aberforth and he tells them about how Ariana died etc.

Oh and the mirror wasn't even explained! Book fans know it's an enchanted mirror and the eye belongs to Aberforth but film fans probably didn't have a clue what was going on because it wasn't explained. Also the portrait of Phineas Nigellus wasn't included neither! How then could Snape know that the trio were hiding in the Forest of Dean to be able to cast the patronus? In the book Phineas overhears Hermione saying it and reports back to Snape but he wasn't in the film. Would like to see how they wriggle out of that one. :nono:

[Shaun]

I'm going to be a total wreck when Snape dies :(

[Ninastar]

Anyone else think it looked kinda sexual when bellatrix had Hermionie pinned down on the floor?
I actually didnt cry when dobby died. My sister did though, but she hasnt read the book. I nearly cried about Hedwig though :( my sister cried about that too hehe bless

[james130]

Probably gonna get some stick for this but as true as it was to the book, I wasn't amazingly impressed.
I think it was probably cause I was so excited (I had my tickets booked for 2 months) and it didn't quite live up. It's still my favourite film of the year but I think that they dragged out boring bits and the exciting scenes were left too short. For example the Hermione torture scene and the majority of the last bit at Malfoy Manor.

Yeah it did in a way and at one point it looked like she was biting her arm. :conf:

[Chels]

I thought it was disappointing :( had to try and keep my eyes open, but that was probably cos I was knackered not cos it was crap.

Dobby dying was so sad though, I swear my boyfriend was trying not to cry LMFAO.

[Smithy]

Yeah it did in a way and at one point it looked like she was biting her arm. :conf:

I thought that too!

I have to agree with this.
I wasn't wowed by it.
I think it was because I built up my expectations well into outer space. I think it will be my favourite Potter film (excluding Part 2) because it sticks with the book so faithfully. But it was never going to stand alone as a film, being half of a story, but it did what it was suppose to. And after watching the first part, I'm glad there is going to be two films. Can you imagine what a disaster it would of been if it was one film?

Things I loved about the film


1. Hermione wiping her parents memories of her. I'm glad it was included in the film.
2. Voldemort mocking Lucius Malfoy. 'My Lord?'
3. Hedwig coming back to protect Harry. Brought a lump to my throat.
4. Aunt Muriel. And the way she says 'Bathilda Bagshot'. Im weird I know:joker:
5. The Ministry of Magic. 'Your lying Dolores. And one musn't tell lies...STUPEFY!!!
6. The whole of Godrics Hollow. Especially the ruined Potter's house. I was worried they were going to cut it.
7. The Silver Doe.
8. Horcrux Harry/Hermione. Mainly because Dan Radcliffe had next to no clothes on. Even if he was playing Tonsil Tennis with Hermione.
9. The telling of The Tale of the Three Brothers. Simply genius animation and with Emma Watson narrating, it made it more chilling.
10. The whole of Malfoy Manor
11. Dobby:bawling::bawling::bawling::bawling::bawling: :bawling::bawling:
12. The 'cliffhanger' with Voldemort.

[Callum]

6. The whole of Godrics Hollow. Especially the ruined Potter's house. I was worried they were going to cut it.


Loved that but I would have really liked to have seen the sign on the gate and the statue of James, Lily and Harry too.

[Princess]

Didn't really think of how much they left out cos I was ranting a bit during the start of the film but realised I'd just bug myself if I kept on.

[Glenn.]

Going to see this again on Friday. Taking my Grandad with me PMSL.

[Marsh.]

I'm gonna take my brother on Saturday. Hope it lives up to my expectations but then again it is only one half of the film really so should reserve judgement until Part 2 comes out. Quite annoyed about them forcing a Harry/Hermione kissing scene because doesn't that kind of undermine the Hermione/Ron stuff. I'm not really a fan of the pairing and found it jarring in the books but doesn't it distract from the story?

On another note, watched the Behind the Magic and how annoying is Ben Shepherd?
Funny seeing Stella from Eastenders, always thought she put that low little voice on as part of the character but she actually talks like that. lol

It did in a way (the kiss) and it was dragged out for longer than I expected. It didn't spoil the film for me but it did come across a bit Twilight-esque and I didn't see why they couldn't be wearing clothes.

[InOne]

The whole kiss thing and the scene it's self seemed pretty true to the book.

[Marsh.]

It's not actually them,it's imitations off them that come out of the Horcrux.

I know it's not really them, I just meant is the whole thing not unusually distracting from the plot. Like someone else just said very Twilight-esque.

[Callum]

I wonder how long Part 2 will be, I expect over 2 hours again but there's not that much left to cover seeing as Part 1 included 3 quarters of the book. I expect the Battle will be at least an hour and I cannot wait to see the Gringotts scenes. :love:

[Shaun]

well they have to cover:

- the deaths of fred, snape, colin, lupin, tonks, padfoot, bellatrix, voldemort [that's a lot of deathtime]
- the battle of hogwarts - this NEEDS to be done justice. I demand that Trelawney is seen hurling crystal balls, the NOT MY DAUGHTER YOU BITCH line, Grawp tearing at the castle walls, Sprout using grubblyplanks and other plants to attack death eaters, McGonagall destroying the two death eater-teachers, Voldemort's ceasefire and Harry going to sacrifice himself...
- the room of requirement burning to **** with fiendfyre (and crabbe's death)
- Nagini's slaughter
- introduction of Aberforth
- the break-in at Gringotts
- the Potter support radio station (and news of the Hogwarts underground Dumbledore's Army)
- Harry's supposed death scene, and Hagrid being forced to carry him [and the whole explanation of the deathly hallows again, i expect]
- the ending (some years later)

edit: omg, I just remembered where Neville is forced to wear the sorting hat and it's set alight - that bit sounded awful in the books

[King Gizzard]

Someone adopt me and take me with them

[InOne]

Also doesn't Harry visit that ghost as well? To get the Horcrux

[King Gizzard]

What book is it when theres a look back in time and its at some house

I think its Tom Riddles ancestors and its about a ring

I think I might be chatting **** but I know what I mean

[Vicky.]

- the room of requirement burning to **** with fiendfyre (and crabbe's death)


This has been changed to goyle dying instead...as crabbe is not to return to the film for being a naughty boy apparently :p

[Callum]

Half-Blood Price and it's Marvolo's Gaunt's house. I love that chapter.

[Callum]

Yeah he was found in posession of cannabis so instead of Crabbe and Goyle in the Room of Requirement with Malfoy, it's Goyle and Blaise Zabini.

I demand that Trelawney is seen hurling crystal balls, the NOT MY DAUGHTER YOU BITCH line, Grawp tearing at the castle walls, Sprout using grubblyplanks and other plants to attack death eaters, McGonagall destroying the two death eater-teachers, Voldemort's ceasefire and Harry going to sacrifice himself...
- the room of requirement burning to **** with fiendfyre (and crabbe's death)
- Nagini's slaughter
- introduction of Aberforth
- the break-in at Gringotts
- the Potter support radio station (and news of the Hogwarts underground Dumbledore's Army)
- Harry's supposed death scene, and Hagrid being forced to carry him [and the whole explanation of the deathly hallows again, i expect]
- the ending (some years later)

edit: omg, I just remembered where Neville is forced to wear the sorting hat and it's set alight - that bit sounded awful in the books

Potter support radio station? Doubt they'll include that in Part 2, it should have been shown in Part 1. :( They're only on the run one last time really, after the Gringotts break in and even then they don't last a full night because they have to go back to Hogwarts.

ohh nooo, I forgot tonks died :(

I am going to see this tonight! :)

Jealous!

Jealous!

:D Havn't you seen it twice already Callum? :shocked:

[Callum]

:D Havn't you seen it twice already Callum? :shocked:

Yes but that was last Friday and it feels like months ago, I want to watch it again. :bawling:

Do it! Watch it again. Eventhough the pictures is quite expensive :S Unless you have one of them unlimited passes for like 13 quid 50 a month or something.

I havn't got one of them passes though because I don't go to the pictures no more than twice a month!

[Beastie]

Went to see it tonight! :) Thought it was brilliant!

I did think the kissing between Harry and Hermionie was a bit suttle though. I heard reviews about that and I think people were exaggerating about it being "full on" and that. Well it was but yeah! I thought there was more sexual tension between Harry and Hermionie when they were dancing to that song on the radio! I was like "oh eyyyyy"

I think Daniel Radcliffe is turning into a fitty!!

I liked the way it ended too. With Dobby dying and Voldermort getting the wand from Dumbledore! I can't wait until the 2nd part of the film now. Shame we have to wait until July :(

Aww I think I want to see it again now!

I'm excited for part 2 knowing where it splits. Since chances are the film's gonna be around 2 hours long and the Gringotts part won't be that long it'll mean there's plenty of time devoted to the Hogwarts scenes.

Went to see this tonight and it was amazing! Going to have to read the book again before pt2 though!

I watched it Saturday afternoon and Dobby's death was done very well considering he's CGI. I was worried how it would come off but that shot of him from behind when he's stood there with his knees slightly bent on the beach when they first notice him had me wanting to cry, lol.

Also, got to compliment Emma Watson. She's usually really bad at delivering lines and acts a bit wooden IMO but she put her all into this film and really impressed me.

Alan Rickman, Bonham Carter, Fiennes etc were brill too and the score used at the end which clearly screamed "cliffhanger coming up" was brilliant. Great decision to have two movies.

Yeah I thought Emma Watson was amazing in this film, she shone in every scene she was in.

[King Gizzard]

Saw it friday night. It was decent. Still weird it being only half a book so I couldn't call it amazing or anything..and I'd forgotten most of the book so I couldn't compare it :(

Their were idiotic teenagers in the cinema laughing at everything, ruined the film

[King Gizzard]

Rupert and Emma were amazing as usual. And I'm not Daniel Radcliffes biggest fan so as usual I didn't really like his performance, I don't get any emotion from him..anyone feel the same ?

[Lewis.]

I get that feeling too Nate! When he shouts he reminds me of that little boy from 'Nanny McPhee'. I guess though that over the years their acting skills were bound to change. When they signed up the 3 kids they didn't know whether they were still going to be able to act in 9 years time so they have to work with what they've got. I thought Emma Watson was great though. Move over Cheryl Cole! Emma is one of the most attractive people I have ever seen! It's a shame she had her hair cut so short though - I liked it longer.

[King Gizzard]

Emma has a huge future but she's gone off to do a degree hasnt she? I don't know if she's interested in still acting..

Ruperts made a faily movie recently he needs to find something thats right for him, but all of them no matter what they do are just going to be seen as a Harry Potter character

Yeah she's currently studying at Brown University in America but recently completed a film which is released next year called 'A Week with Marilyn'.

I'm also not a big fan of Dan's acting but I think he's grown throughout the films. He's definitely better now than he was in the first few films but sometimes I find his acting comes across forced and slightly wooden on screen.

[Marsh.]

I agree about Dan Radcliffe, I remember a friend of mine always bringing up the "I'm gonna kill him" line from PoA. That was cringey.
But I don't rate RG in the last couple, he's too bumbly (if that's a word) but maybe because he's only really given comic relief material.

[King Gizzard]

Expecto Patronum scene with Lupin always comes to mind
