Another new deleted scene with Ron and Hermione skipping stones



Aw! Nice little scene for all Ron and Hermione shippers, it does seem more of a Rupert/Emma scene then a Ron and Hermione scene though I thought.

Oh and the opening scene for Part 2 has leaked! Featuring Harry talking to Ollivander in Shell Cottage:



Amazing!!! So tense although Ollivander didn't know anything of the Hallows in the book. Love that we get to see him again though after all these years, the music sounds great too. Alexandre Desplat will no doubt deliver another amazingly epic score for the second part.

I'm glad the new deleted scene wasn't involved, it doesn't seem to contribute anything really, it'd just slow the whole film down.


Not gonna watch the leaked scene, apart from the TV trailer, Im gonna try to avoid as much as possible online so it'll be all the better when I see it

That Ron/Hermione scene is sooooo cute but yeah wouldn't have added anything to the film.

There was a test screening yesterday in Chicago and most reviews have been positive. I've read a few spoilers but I couldn't face reading them all, still want to be surprised when I watch the film for the first time. It's the shortest film in the series, at exactly 2 hours long, but it's likely scenes will be cut/added for the full movie. It is sad that it is so short compared to the others but there's only just over 200 pages left to cover, the OOTP film was just slightly longer and is the longest book so I'm not too worried. The large majority of the film is the Battle of Hogwarts. Oh and slight spoiler but I don't think anybody will be saddened by this one:

The Molly Weasley line "Not my daughter, you bitch!" is in the film! :D

Got a few more spoilers here:

Film starts with flashback at end of Part 1 with Voldemort getting the Elder wand. First proper shot of Part 2 is Snape who's now Headmaster, standing in one of the towers looking out as the Hogwarts student march across the courtyard. Hogwarts is now guarded by the Dementors.

Dumbledore backstory has been completley cut! :bawling: But Aberforth does appear quite a bit during the Hogsmeade scenes

The Prince's Tales chapter is meant to be the best part of the film. Petunia doesn't feature though, like she does in the books and the scene from the ABC preview of Snape outside Godric's Hollow is an added non book scene of him going there the night Lily died

McGonnagall and Neville apparently have more substantial roles in the film than in the book

We don't see Lupin or Tonks die, we just see their bodies.

Fred's death is apparently very well executed and emotional

When Harry discovers a Horcrux, we see Voldemort's rage each time one is found

Apparently the filmmakers inserted humour into the plot at certain points of the film, although in the book, little laughs can be found from reading the latter half of the book. I've read that there are a few times where the humour is not necessary, yet is still there.

The epilogue is apparently "bittersweet" and it only runs for just over 3 minutes in length :bawling: :bawling:

We see flashbacks of the Potter's dying during Snape's memories

Percy's redemption is not apparent in the film, we only see him with his family at the end

Snape and McGonnagall duel (OMFG!!!! :amazed:)

Wormtail isn't in the film

Hagrid does carry Harry

Narcissa doesn't whisper to Harry like she does in the book

Trelawney and Sprout do not get much screentime

Amycus and Alecto apparently have no lines! But they weren't really introduced in the films so...


There's lots more but that's all I read up to, didn't want to spoil myself even more. Overall though I am satisfied!

More deleted scenes! I don't know why these keep getting leaked

O.M.F.G That will be bloody epic.

I put them in spoilers for a reason, some people don't want to be spoiled! :nono:

But yeah, I agree that will be a highlight for many.

omg, I saw snape and McGonagall but didn't see what they do, spoiler it!!

have sex :o

bang

Haven't you read the book though?

Yeah, but if it's in a spoiler I was assuming it was something extra that wasn't in the book that had been added?

I was a bit disappointed by the lack of a goodbye to the Dursleys. That could have easily replaced some of the very long camping scenes. It's a shame they ended up with practically 10 seconds of screentime. Nice to see that deleted scene.

And Dumbledore's backstory has been cut? So, how will the story work without it?

I've not liked the films since the 4th one came out and was very very pleasantly surprised with DH Part 1. By the sounds of it Part 2 might spoil it and become a shallow action film with no real story or substance. I'm worried.

Not everything is, didn't have the time to edit out everything that's in the book. :tongue:

But I put this in spoiler just to be careful, some people (hard to believe I know) are just films fans and don't want any detail spoiled.

The "not my daughter you bitch!" Molly Weasley line is in the film :D

I removed the spoilers because I looked over them a few more times and realised they weren't that spoiler-ish really. I just don't think any one of them will make anybody mega angry or upset, but if anyone does wish me to put them back into spoilers, I will. :)

Oh and marsh I agree about Dudley scene, I liked that one, shame it wasn't kept but the Dursleys were much more substantial in the books than they have been in the films, a lot of their stuff has been cut from the films over the years unfortunately.

Only a few more days until the DVD's released now, exciting!!! :amazed:

Some new info from David Heyman:

Q: In the footage we saw today, there's a scene of Snape and McGonagall facing off in the Great Hall, which I don't remember happening at all in the book.
A: They do face off, but it's not in the Great Hall. There are a lot of things there that are slightly different from the book, but they are true to the spirit to the book. Snape and McGonagall do face off in the book, but it's in a corridor as Harry's on his way to the Ravenclaw common room. It didn't work the way we were structuring the final battle to have that, so it takes place in the Great Hall. We also wanted to make a bigger scene of Harry's confrontation with Snape. Snape's role in the film is minimal, and it was minimal in the second half of the book, and yet you wanted to have the emotional investment when you see his past story [the memory Harry views in the Pensieve]. We wanted to build that up in order for it to have its emotional impact.

Hope they don't change it much more, getting a bit annoyed with hearing how things are constantly changed from the book now really.

Another deleted scene

Dvd out tomorrow, woop! Pre-ordered my Blu ray copy months ago, can't wait to watch it again. :amazed:

I'm so sad that the UK doesn't get the first scene from Part 2, it's a British film too, such a disgrace. :(

Couldn't resist picking up the DVD on my way home. Just watched it for the second time ever. Absolutely brilliant. Lost interest in the HP films after the third one, they were badly made and just way off the mark for me. But somehow they've gone from films I couldn't stomach to sit through to full blown 10/10 awesome. Hopefully Part 2 doesn't mess it up.
I think it's probably just the complete focus on the story, and how every plot and character inclusion knits together. There's little to no extraneous detail which bored me in the other films.

Hmmm might see where I can find it cheapest, really wanna see it again now

Agreed. DH Part 1 is definitely the most faithful to the book. Even though it's slower paced than the previous six, it doesn't make any difference in terms of film quality, because I think it's the best film.

Going to download my digital copy of the film now, I got the Blu Ray disc with a special features disk plus a DVD disk and digital copy for under £15 from HMV. :dance:

Really wish July 15th would hurry up though, I read Hallows for the umpteenth time yesterday and I just wanna see the latter half of the book on screen now. :( They better do justice to the Battle! Still unhappy about the Dumbledore backstory being cut so I'm hoping their portrayal of the Battle will make up for it.

OMG, screw revision imma read Deathy Hallows :amazed:

I finished the book, those spoilers actually make sense now :amazed:

Shame about the Dumbledore back story, although Id rather something like that was cut than some really epic scene from the battle

Yeah true, the Battle should get at least an hour plus of the film ideally. I'm sure some of the Dumbledore backstory will have to be covered though, because when the trio are in the Hogs Head, the secret passageway to Hogwarts is through Ariana's portrait so I can't see how they'll be able to not even acknowledge her at least.

I want July 15th to hurry up and be here already but then I don't because it's the end of an era. No more books, no more films, all over. :( Still have the Encyclopedia to wait for but I can't see that being released for at least another couple of years. There's also the theme park in Orlando and the Leavesden Studios set opening next year in London but there not the same as the books and films. :(
