Meesha: In the news this week, Snitchseeker is reporting that Half Blood Prince will be shown in regular theatres and IMAX starting July 17th 2009, and it has been confirmed that there will be about 25 minutes worth of 3D footage in the latter version of the film |
|||
The list could never have been possible without [b][I]MasterOfDeath[/I][/b] starting it back in late 2007. From then on, it would come out once a month in the All Inclusive HBP Thread. |
|||
Meesha: What scenes do you think might – they might do that with? |
|||
As it came more lengthy with more information flooding in, more people became involved: [I]ArryGrotter[/I], [I]lcbaseball22[/I], [i]meesha1971[/i], [I]Montse[/I], [I]houseelf25[/I] and [i]Rachezee[/i]. |

[center]Welcome to the eleventh edition of the HBP list! We are at the 7 month mark in the countdown for this highly anticipated film and it is time for another update to the list. This list compiles everything we've heard about the film thus far from official announcements to script leaks to news stories to rumours. This list is a tribute to all the good times we've had in the [URL="http://www.cosforums.com/showthread.php?t=118638"]All Inclusive HBP Thread[/URL]and all the good friends we've made over the past 15 months and all the great discussions. This list is so we can have a reference and keep track of all the news in one place. |
|||
Scott: Yeah, I think everyone knows that. |
|||
WARNING: Includes major spoilers from test screening reviews. |
|||
Meesha: Yeah. |
|||
Note: Recently, some of our pictures have not been able to show up due to bandwidth errors. We’ve tried to overcome this problem these past months by changing all of our pictures’ links. To avoid the problem again, we ask you to please not hotlink any of the pictures, as it’ll cause the same problem and the pictures will not be able to be seen. Thank you :) |
|||
Scott: Probably the end too – well there’s no battle … |
|||
We hope you enjoy! |
|||
Vince: How ‘bout – Ron and Lavender – snogging? |

[b]Ladies and Gentlemen |

Meesha: That doesn’t need to be 3D. (laughs) |

Meesha: Snitchseeker also has an interview with David Heyman in which he talks about Half Blood Prince and the screenings that were recently held in Chicago: |
|||
[*]Josh Herdman has been recast as Gregory Goyle |
|||
As you know, Half Blood Prince screenings were recently held in Chicago, which has given fans an idea of what to except come 2009. Many were shocked to see the omission of the Battle of Hogwarts and Dumbledore’s funeral. Can you explain why these scenes were left out? |
|||
David Heyman says: |
|||
The reason why we left out the Battle of Hogwarts is because we have a battle at Hogwarts in the seventh film and we are avoiding repetition. Dumbledore’s funeral was something that I really loved and is a fantastic part of the book and part of we would have loved it in the film. But we decided that while we loved it, what we came up with was the right ending for the film that we had made. |
|||
[*]William Melling has been recast as Nigel |
|||
Scott: What did you guys think of uh – how he said that, you know the reason for cutting out the battle? That it would be avoiding repetition. ‘Cause I didn’t really see it as – I mean, it wasn’t all that similar, it was just a small skirmish in this one and I think it would have been completely fine to still have kept it. |
|||
Meesha: Yeah, I don’t think that would have been repetitive at all – I mean it’s a small thing – well, I mean they could have done it in a way that was not repetitive I should say. |
|||
[*]Dean Garmhan has been cast as Slytherin Student |
|||
Rachel: Well, the only reason why it was repetitive is ‘cause of the burrow scene, which they really didn’t need. I’d much rather have the battle at Hogwarts – at Hogwarts than the Burrow. |

[EXPAND=General Comments][fieldset=]David Yates: |
|||
[indent]One thing we said when we finished "Order of the Phoenix" was that we want a very different experience next time around. We're very proud of this film, the intensity, the emotion and everything. One of the great things Jo Rowling does in the book is that she captures stages of childhood so the next stage of childhood is a bit more sex, drugs and rock and roll. [i](This was later clarified to be sex, [u]potions[/u] and rock and roll.)[/i] |
|||
It's about the kind of emotional and sexual politics of being a teenager. It's a very different swing, the next film. I think it needs to be for the series to keep evolving. In my work, every choice I've made I've always gone for something in the neurotically opposite direction. Once I've finished something, I've stayed keen to stay fresh as a story teller to try something different. The "Potter" world is so rich. They're so many things to play with in that world that it's possible to re-gear so the next one will be very different I think. |
|||
Rachel: ‘Cause a lot of the actors are worth a lot of money and I’m sure they have to pay a lot of them a lot more than others (laughs) |
|||
We'd be crazy not to take a look at the seventh book and not let us influence us as we're refining the sixth script. I think there may be things that could be really helpful so we'll be looking at it as soon as it comes out. |
|||
Meesha: Yeah |
|||
It’s going to be great to work with Kloves on Snape's ambiguity in the script. |
|||
Scott: And someone had made the point that it wouldn’t really work ‘cause all those characters that came back and paid their tributes to Dumbledore were never in the filmverse. |
|||
The movie will be a cross between the chills of Prisoner of Azkaban and the fantastical adventure of Goblet of Fire.[/indent] |
|||
Meesha: That’s true |
|||
Daniel Radcliffe: |
|||
Vince: But, is there a closure to his death though – like is there an impact? Like is there some kind of a closure to his death? |
|||
[indent]I'm not going to be on autopilot. I've invested so much. We all want to make this film better than the last. |

Expect to see several characters making out in the flick too. [/indent] |
|||
Meesha: Yeah |
|||
Alan Rickman |
|||
Vince: At all, is there? |

[indent]Rickman refuses to talk about his character because he would not want to spoil the story.[/indent][/fieldset][/EXPAND] |

[expand=Test Screening Reactions][U][B]Negative:[/B][/U] |
|||
[fieldset=]Jimbo Wage (Ain't it Cool News): |
|||
[indent]The problem with all of this romance is All of This Romance. It dominates the movie, drawing our focus away not only from major plot points – which fall disastrously through the cracks – but also deters the mood, which, in a (nearly) penultimate film, should be at the forefront. |
|||
Rachel: When they’re talking on the tower there is and then there was – a scene that I did miss – there was something where they were talking – they talked at some point in the – in the common room, but I did truly miss that one. |
|||
The title of this film is Harry Potter and the HALF-BLOOD PRINCE but the title character gets next to no screen time and even less explanation, save for a few asides that, if you haven't read the book, may as well have been cut. Better to call the movie Harry Potter and the Hormones from Hedes and save us our disillusionment. |
|||
Scott: And… |
|||
For a book based on Harry and Dumbledore's quest to find out more about Voldemort, and how to stop him, via his memories, all but three memories have been cut from the film. Why is it that the filmmakers decided it was more important to focus on teen-age love rather than what are inarguably critical plot points? It is aneurysm inducing logic that will surely leave me dead in my bathtub. |
|||
Vince: And the scene at the bottom of the tower too like – and he sees the body at the bottom of the tower… |
|||
Anyone who has read the book (an incredible sum of folk who Warner Bros. seem to have forgotten are the target audience – either that or they have some personal vendetta against them) will be severely, SEVERELY disappointed with this film. Let's just hope that in the ten intervening months between now and the film's release, Warner's will take the time and the money to fix this incredible mess. |
|||
Rachel: Yeah, and he fixes he – and he goes up to Dumbledore and he like fixes his hair or – moves the hair out of his face or something and then he starts to cry and then Ginny comes up… |
|||
Sadly, I'm not holding my breath.[/indent] |
|||
Scott: Was Dan good in that scene or was it another – “he was their friend” |
|||
Michael Bravo (Ain’t it Cool News): |
|||
Rachel: No, he was good – he wasn’t screaming – |
|||
[indent]This leads me to another problem I had with the film – the mystery as to who the Half-Blood Prince is takes a backseat to all the dating stuff. Some of it’s pleasant and funny, but it should have been background comic relief to help balance the drama in the forefront. |
|||
Meesha: Oh, good |
|||
They have almost a year before this film is released, so there’s plenty of time for editing, which is good news because this cut was quite underwhelming. A woman in our post-screening discussion of about 20-25 people said she usually cries at movies, but didn’t react at all when Dumbledore died. Hopefully, the filmmakers will ease up on the relationship stuff and emphasize more of the potions book/Half-Blood Prince plot.[/indent] |
|||
Rachel: – he wasn’t overacting. I thought, well – this is just a personal opinion – I just thought that it looked slightly po – like Ginny was kind of holding him in an awkward way (laughs) like but it still was effective, you know what I mean? She was crying too… |
|||
trax_attacks (IMDB): |
|||
Scott: But the emotions were – were good, it was the… |
|||
[indent]Overall, I found the movie to be .. rather odd. Where as the book gave me a "one last hoorah" feel, the movie just seemed out of place. They did a poor job balancing the main plot into the movie, and seemed to add much more romance than needed. It just didn't give me a "Harry Potter" feel at all. More like an "Inspired by Harry Potter and the HBP". Scenes were either cut or changed too much, and while the things that happened in the book are still there, some things are just completely altered. Characterization being one of the largest things. I accepted OotP, because I knew the book would be impossible to translate completely, and what they did include, they included perfectly. In this movie, I thought the book could be easily adapted. Instead they changed too much, and I could not understand the reasoning behind it. I was really excited to see this movie, seeing as it is my favorite book. The movie .. it just didn't do it for me. I'm a little less appreciative of Yates now, and I'm worried about DH. I'm praying justice is given to that book, as it ought to be. |
|||
Rachel: Were there, yeah – I just remember thinking, she must be really uncomfortable (laughs) that was about it (laughs) |
|||
I was so fed up with all the romance it just got annoying at some point. |
|||
Vince: Was she like sobbing or like – sobbing or tearing or… |
|||
When I said "too much romance" ... I mean that almost every scene has an added bit of romance to it. It’s like I couldn't escape from it. It really just took over, and the seriousness of the plot just seemed to be drowned in this sea of romantic puns and subtleties. its not that I'm completely against the Romance, but there seemed to be so much. And since HBP really builds the plot bridge for DH, I was surprised they didn't focus so much on the very important plot, seeing as it is … well … important.[/indent][/fieldset] |
|||
[U][B]Positive:[/B][/U] |
|||
[fieldset=]Eric (Mugglenet): |
|||
[indent]A lot of the things people seemed to dislike about the fifth HP film, such as vast amounts of time passing in visually appealing yet otherwise disappointing montages, does not happen in this. The film maintains its director’s neat visuals, however. Right from the initial Burrow scene, it is clear that Mr. Yates has not lost his creative edge and rather moved on to do different and wonderful things with the camera. |
|||
The entire movie seems to keep its pace, and I think one of the things that has helped the filmmakers is a clear-cut set of events spread almost evenly throughout the year in the book. There’s not too much stuff going on, rather just enough things at significant enough times of year so that they can document the full year without it feeling rushed. Again I mention the closeness of the movie to the book particularly. Some scenes are almost verbatim, but the ones that aren’t serve to really enhance the movie’s impact and its ability to stand alone as a film |
|||
Rachel: Yeah, sobbing – the quiet sobbing, you know what I mean? |
|||
Book Six has either too much snogging or too much Voldemort – neither of which I complained about and both which I rather enjoyed – but this movie completely balances the two quite nicely. It seems effortless almost. But there are really dark scenes and then there are very fun scenes. If you know the characters from having read the books, I think you’ll get more out of the movie than those who haven’t and that’s surprising to me. For the first time, it seems, the filmmakers have made a movie which is REALLY true to the characters of the book and almost not afraid to leave newcomers with the shorter stick. |
|||
Vince: Oh ok, that’s good |
|||
Also important to mention is that this movie is in NO way, at all, in any shape or form, a children’s movie. … and it makes me so happy that they could make such an intense movie, because it gives me real hope for the adaptations of the seventh book. But I think you should think twice before bringing your kid brother to see it. |
|||
Meesha: Yeah |
|||
Such effort is spent on the characters of the trio throughout the course of the movie.[/indent] |
|||
Rachel: But it’s truly a devas – you know it’s a devastating moment. I think they could have used Hagrid being there to say something but he wasn’t. |
|||
Rachezee (LeakyLounge): |
|||
Vince: But then if they put the music in there – the sad music that… |
|||
[indent]It is by far the most beautiful view of Hogwarts I have ever seen and completely different than previous movies. The views of the mountains are new and most of the outside landscape has been made far more majestic and beautiful. Though some of it was blue screened. Enough was left the same for continuity sake but many of the scenes we are used to in the movies now look far closer to what I imagined while reading than the way they have in the past few movies. … Whoever was in charge of the lighting for this film did a beyond superb job. I was not prepared for the beauty of this movie |
|||
Rachel: And that is what was missing is the – effective music for that scene would make all the difference in the world – |
|||
I was really pleasantly surprised by this movie. Many of the changes were actually entertaining and Gambon has improved enough to be tolerable. It was so much better than Order of the Phoenix. Overall I really enjoyed this movie and can not wait to see it again.[/indent] |
|||
Scott: Yeah, if it was… |
|||
beni555 (IMDB): |
|||
Rachel: – Think about what happened in GoF – or you know, Goblet of Fire when the – when Cedric died – |
|||
[indent]I wasn't really impressed with the Order of the Phoenix and was kinda skeptical about what David Yates would do with the 'Half Blood Prince' but I’m just blown away... it was so well put together and the re-introduction and growth of the characters was v.v.v.v.v impressive...! |
|||
Scott: Oh yeah, I know |
|||
They hit the nail bang on the head for the whole look and feel of the movie, the color scheme, the sets and cinematography was absolutely refreshing!!! It was a lil different from the previous movies and it WORKED!!!! |
|||
Rachel: – the emotion was the – the music so yeah… |
|||
Get ready to see some noticeable changes in the sets, art production and general look of the movie ... they have been tweaked a bit, but in a very, very good way!! You will NOT be disappointed… |
|||
Meesha: Yeah, so it sounds like Dan’s performance is a lot better in this one. |
|||
It was very refreshing and the cinematography and color scheme worked so well … it really drew you in ... reminiscent of how Azkaban plunged into such a different theme, compared to the first two movies.. |
|||
Rachel: Yeah, there’s no – there’s no “HE WAS THEIR FRIEND” |
|||
The settings were eerily beautiful … it was so other-worldly … man, I wish I was living in it!!![/indent] |
|||
(laughter) |
|||
trax_attacks (IMDB): |
|||
Meesha: That is so – that is something that has really bugged me. He just – he tends to scream through these emotional scenes and – |
|||
[indent]The cinematography is beautiful, really beautiful. |
|||
Vince: Ah, but he never – |
|||
I wouldn't call it a drastic change from OotP though. Think of it this way. As much as OotP was blue, HBP is yellow. It has a very yellow color wash, and it fit well with the overall tone of the film. It seemed to be a lot darker as well. Low brightness and high contrasts, which is a combo I personally love (photo major), and it just looked great in my opinion. Best of the HP series by far.[/indent][/fieldset][/expand] |

[*]Test screening viewers note that the Muggle Prime Minister is cut, and so too was Scrimgeour: |
|||
Vince: –screams in the last one, he’ll never scream |
|||
[indent]we don’t meet the Muggle Prime Minister[/indent] |
|||
[indent]There are no scenes with the Minister of Magic, and I don’t believe they even mentioned Fudge was sacked (though I may have missed it)[/indent] |
|||
[*]A test screening attendee gave a description of the opening scenes: |
|||
Rachel: Well, he… |
|||
[indent]The movie opens with a scene from OOTP, of Dumbledore and Harry at the ministry on the night Sirius dies, standing in front of a barrage of flash bulbs. Then it transitions to the WB logo and Harry Potter (which looked even cooler than the last movie). Then it goes to an interior shot of an ultra modern office building overlooking the Millennium Bridge. There are [Death Eaters] flying through the air and then the bridge starts to wave violently and then collapses with lots of people on it.[/indent] |
|||
[*]Shots of this attack came from the third trailer, released in November: |

[*]A new character Sofie was cast for the “Boardroom – Opening Scene”. From new information, we can infer that Sofie will be in the ‘ultra modern office building’. Her scenes may have been cut. |

Vince: – in Half-Blood … |
|||
Scott: Yeah, he never screamed much… |
|||
[*]Ollivanders’ capture is seen in the film |
|||
Meesha: – “I feel sorry for you” thing, yeah… |
|||
[indent] Ah yes I almost forgot about that, we do see His shop being smashed and I think even on fire, and we do see someone who we can all guess is Ollivander being taken away struggling with a bag over his head by masked death eaters[/indent] |
|||
[*]A shot of Death Eaters destroying Diagon Alley came from the third trailer, released in November, and the ABC sneak peeks: |
|||
Scott: Yeah, so – and then a scene that it seems we’ve heard from both from you and Kristen and some others that was cut that we saw a picture of, which was actually my favorite still released from the film, is where they’re in Dumbledore’s office and – he has the – he looks like he’s holding the wand – the Elder Wand – |

[b]Scott:[/b] Ah. |

Scott: – and McGonagall is there |

Rachel: |
[b]Rachel:[/b] -- a lot of people on the bridge and they were holding on for dear life and it was shaking. It was -- it -- |

(laughter) |

Scott: No, she said she missed it too, if it was there |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] Wow. |

Rachel: Okay, so it wasn’t there – yeah, I didn’t think it was there, but – |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] -- looked like a movie about earthquakes. (laughter) But -- |

Scott: And there was no Dumbledore’s portrait? |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] And you see -- |

Rachel: – it should have been |

[b]Rachel:[/b] -- but it -- |

Scott: That would have been a good scene – like to see – |

[b]Vince:[/b] -- people die? |
|||
Meesha: I am surprised they didn’t do the portrait |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] -- [inaudible] blood. |
|||
Scott: – both the Elder Wand/Deathly Hallows and Dumbledore’s portrait. I’m surprised we didn’t see that. |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] Do you see people die? Like when they fall into the water or just -- |
|||
Rachel: Yeah, but it’s – I think it might be kind of hard to explain about why he didn’t talk – I thought you know – |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] I don't think I re -- |
|||
Vince: Right, yeah… |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] Is it like violent? |
|||
Rachel: – I always thought that was a hard thing to explain in the book too, ‘cause I’m like – you know, you could just ask him what happened – you know, you could just talk to him… |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] I think it's -- |
|||
Scott: About why he – why the portrait didn’t talk until Deathly Hallows? |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] Is it -- |
|||
Rachel: Or who… |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] -- no -- it disappears into the water and there's people on it so I think it's -- |
|||
Meesha: Well, he was asleep! |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] Oh. |
|||
Rachel: You know, but even later on – there shouldn’t have been any question about who killed Dumbledore, because Dumbledore could have said. |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] -- [inaudible] you know -- |
|||
Scott: Well, ‘cause – |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] Yeah. Yeah. That's pretty dark. |
|||
Meesha: Snape did it. |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] We don't -- |
|||
Scott: – there was somebody that visited the set as well, and they that they had just… |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] Yeah. |
|||
Vince: I thought it was the Pygmy Puffs that killed… |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] -- they could have survived, but not -- I mean, they wouldn't have been all that happy. (laughs) |
|||
(laughter) |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] Oh, yeah. Yeah. (laughs) |
|||
Rachel: No, it was the Half-Blood Toad – I’m sorry I… |
|||
[b]Scott:[/b] So is it just a real quick -- |
|||
Meesha: Trevor! |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] And the -- |
|||
Scott: And they obviously did film that scene because somebody in a set report – had visited the set. They said that they just got done filming that scene and they had put Dumbledore’s portrait in the office and all that and… |
|||
[b]Scott:[/b] -- scene -- over real fast or is it -- is it a good -- |
|||
Vince: Right, yeah I remember that… |
|||
Rachel: |
[b]Rachel:[/b] It's long enough -- |
||
Scott: |
[b]Scott:[/b] -- cinematic opening? |
||
[b]Rachel:[/b] -- I would say. It's not -- |
|||
Meesha: Sounds like a deleted scene – |
|||
Scott: |
[b]Scott:[/b] That's good. |
||
[b]Rachel:[/b] -- super -- but it's long enough. It doesn't -- you understand that something -- something bad is happening and it's not a normal event -- you know, it's not a natural -- |
|||
Vince: Well, maybe in the… |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] Right. |

Meesha: – with McGonagall and Harry there… |

[b]Rachel:[/b] -- occurring event. |
|||
Vince: Yeah! |

[b]Scott:[/b] Right. |

Rachel: It would have been such a good scene – they should have… |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] So ... (laughs) |
|||
Vince: That’s gotta be the scene probably, yeah |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] Is it -- |
|||
Meesha: Maybe they’ll add that back in |
|||
Scott: |
[b]Scott:[/b] Well, is there any -- |
||
[b]Vince:[/b] -- sort of a bomb -- |
|||
Rachel: Well, they make a point about showing his wand ‘cause it’s unique looking – |
|||
[b]Scott:[/b] -- other events -- |
|||
Vince: And it’s the Elder Wand |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] -- or -- |
|||
Rachel: – and they show it in the – in the Inferi scene – they actually like show and I remember thinking, I wonder why they are showing it cause like otherwise – |
|||
[b]Scott:[/b] -- from the book from that first chapter -- like where there was murders of people inside houses with like locked windows and doors or was -- |
|||
Vince: Because it’s a Deathly Hallow |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] Yeah. Is it like a part of a montage or -- |
|||
Rachel: – I wouldn’t recognize anyone else’s wand but his so… |
|||
[b]Scott:[/b] -- was there any Death Eater attacks or anything after the bridge attack? |
|||
Scott: Yeah, ‘cause I thought it was such a cool – |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] No. I -- |
|||
Vince: Yeah, there is like little bubbles on it, yeah |
|||
Scott: |
[b]Scott:[/b] I know we -- |
||
[b]Rachel:[/b] -- I -- it went to Olli -- I think the one thing I had forgotten when I writ -- wrote it was that the Ollivander sce -- there was a scene where Ollivander -- where it's obvious it's him -- gets dragged out of his shop. |
|||
Rachel: Yeah, that’s his |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] It's obvious it's him? Oh -- because some -- |
|||
Scott: – like you were saying Vince, that we see all three Hallows in this movie as well like – |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] Yeah, because -- |
|||
Rachel: Then again, I guess he’s being buried with it so – |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] -- people said -- |
|||
Meesha: Yeah |
|||
Rachel: |
[b]Rachel:[/b] -- it's his shop. |
||
[b]Vince:[/b] -- it's not obvious. |
|||
Scott: – setting it for Deathly Hallows |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] You -- they don't -- you don't see him because I don't think they even got the actor back for it, but -- for this movie -- but the -- |
|||
Vince: We see the cloak |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] But it's implied that it's him, yeah. |
|||
Scott: The cloak, the ring, and the… |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] Yeah, 'cause they put a bag over -- they put one of those sacks over his head and they drag him out. |
|||
Meesha: The ring and the wand |
|||
[b]Scott:[/b] Uh-huh. |
|||
Vince: Do we see the ring though in the final cut – I mean in the rough cut? |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] But it's obvious he's alive. |
|||
Meesha: Yeah |
|||
[b]Scott:[/b] Cool. |
|||
Rachel: Yeah |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] There's no question that -- that he's not -- they didn't kill him. They -- they just dragged out -- dragged him out of the shop and -- |
|||
Scott: But it was a weird scene that – not quite sure of the context I guess – if it’s a flashback or not it sounds like |
|||
[b]Scott:[/b] So it goes -- |
|||
Rachel: It didn’t even look black to me though, so I wasn’t really sure – I couldn’t tell if there was something I wasn’t seeing – something wasn’t finished about it or maybe it was – I don’t know. But then again, they never talked about it being Voldemort’s grandfathers, so you know – it was just a ring (laughs) |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] -- and [inaudible] (attacks?) |
|||
Scott: Well, he talked about then tweaking it based on the reactions – and again, that’s something I’m worried about because Order of the Phoenix didn’t change much. The only thing that did change is that it got cut down 15 or 20 minutes so – hopefully the same thing won’t happen for Half-Blood Prince and they’ll either add stuff or make it better. |
|||
[b]Scott:[/b] -- from the bridge attack -- |
|||
Meesha: I’m hoping they add some things, yeah – that scene with McGonagall would be a good one to add |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] That sets up -- |
|||
Scott: And I’d – especially like to see the – dialogue with that Spinner’s End scene added, so it’s more ambiguous with Snape – if they filmed it, that is. |
|||
[b]Scott:[/b] -- to -- |
|||
Meesha: Is it possible that given the delay in release, that Half-Blood Prince may be tweaked, according to the reactions from the screenings? |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] -- Deathly Hallows then -- I guess then, at the end? I guess, again -- |
|||
Oh absolutely! The reason for a screening such as the one in Chicago is to give us information about any areas of confusion or pace or any issues that may arise, and work on them. So over the last couple of weeks, we have been working incredibly hard on the cut of the film and we will make changes to improve it. It is something that we have done with every film in the Harry Potter series. |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] Yeah. They're -- |
|||
Scott: What – did you stick around Rachel, for like the discussion, or… |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] -- to keep that subplot in |
|||
Rachel: You know sadly, I didn’t know about it – I didn’t know that he – that – what happened was that in the theatre when walked in like you could see that’s there’s all these like seats in the best places that were taped up and – for – and I even asked my mom’s friend who, you know – like “Who is that for” and she was like “VIPs and people from WB” and stuff, but it never occurred to me that they would be like – that David Heyman was actually there, you know what I mean? (laughs) So, I didn’t see him. |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] Yeah. They were -- |
|||
Scott: Oh, ok. |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] -- Deathly Hallows. |
|||
Rachel: And – so and – I didn’t stick around – I – |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] -- definitely setting it up. |
|||
Scott: But… |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] Yeah. |
|||
Rachel: – I filled out a form – |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] So ... |
|||
Scott: …filled out a form. |
|||
[b]Scott:[/b] It goes the -- the bridge attack to Diagon Alley and then directly to Harry in the café? |
|||
Rachel: – I did a survey. Yeah, you know, with one of those really short pencils that’s hard- hard to write with especially if you’re a lefty (laugh) But – Yeah, but – they asked a kinda specific questions but nothing they could do much about, like – it was like how they – like I was a little surprised – they were asking questions like how was – how do you think Luna’s performance was, how do you think Bonnie Wright’s …? |

[b]Rachel:[/b] Yeah.[/fieldset][/expand][/list][/expand] |

Scott: Hmm. |

[expand=2. Spinner’s End][list]A test screening attendee mentions that the Spinner’s End scene is moved in the film: |
|||
[indent]The scene of Spinner's End happens just after Harry arrives at the Burrow.[/indent] |
|||
[*]Information about this scene came from a reliable source |
|||
Rachel: You know, things like that and I – but does it matter? |
|||
[indent]The real Unbreakable Vow scene is really good. A lot like the book. Wormtail even appears briefly at the beginning. When we first see Snape he's reading a newspaper about the bridge collapse and Harry now being The Chosen One.[/indent] |
|||
[*]A shot of this newspaper came from the HBP sneak peeks: |
|||
Scott: Nothing they can change. |

|||
Rachel: You can’t change it – |
|||
[*]More information came from the test screening |
|||
Scott: Yeah |
|||
[indent]Bella does not question [Snape]'s loyalty. Is this perhaps to just try and trick the audience into thinking Snape really is unquestionably an evil git? |
|||
There is no insults or jibes between Bellatrix and Snape. The only thing I remember clearly is Bella goes to the mantle over the fire place and starts picking things up. Snape snaps at her to “Put that down” and something about being rude and Bella glares at him with a touch of humor but puts it down. |
|||
Rachel: – you know (laugh) |
|||
Snape does say that the Dark lord has already told him of the plan Narcissa is about to reveal and Bellatrix does seem surprised.[/indent] |
|||
Scott: Did they asked about scenes or what scenes should be added back in or what scenes should be taken out or anything like that or…? |
|||
[*]A picture of Spinner’s End came from a calendar picture |
|||
Rachel: No, they were asking mostly about the pace of the movie – they wanted to know like – did – was it – did we spend any – too much time on anything or not enough time on anything? Did it seem to flow? Things like that. So… |

[indent] No Dursleys at all. No Privet Drive. No inheriting Grimmauld place or Kreacher as there is no Kreacher or Dobby.[/indent] |

[*]According to the Snitchseeker Set Report Teaser, there will be a scene which features Harry and a waitress: |
|||
Meesha: Yeah… I’m wondering – there hasn’t been any mention of them shooting any extra footage, there was for Order of the Phoenix, they had all that extra footage… |
|||
[indent]We also learned that there will be scenes which indicate our favourite trio are getting older, including an encounter between Harry and a waitress[/indent] |

[*]Test screening viewers further describe the opening: |
|||
Meesha: Yeah, they could add some stuff back in… |
|||
[indent]Directly following this [Bridge attack] we see Harry in Little Whinging at a cafe called Treats, which is in/by a train station. He is reading the paper about the bridge collapse and he asks the waitress what time she gets off work. However he is then distracted by a train, which departs to reveal Dumbledore standing on the opposite platform. … Harry and Dumbledore Side-Along Apparate (the special effect, which appeared to be completed, was perfect in matching the canon description of the act) to the village where Slughorn is staying[/indent] |

|||
Scott: But it could be another 45 minutes of snogging too (laughs) |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] Yeah. |
|||
Rachel: They can only add in what they already filmed. I highly doubt – I know they can – |
|||
Scott: |
[b]Scott:[/b] Okay. |
||
[b]Rachel:[/b] And he's flirting with this wait -- well, with like a pretty wait -- well, actually, she's flirting with him and then he flirts back. Like -- |
|||
Rachel: – always go back and – sometimes if they have to… |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] Oh. |
|||
Meesha: Yeah. Do some pickups… |
|||
[b]Meesha:[/b] I -- now I -- I'm -- this really -- |
|||
Rachel: There’s a lot of money to set it all up again, you know. |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] Uh-oh. |
|||
Meesha: Oh, yeah. |
|||
[b]Meesha:[/b] -- concerns me. I mean, this scene just does not sound like it flows with the rest of the movie very well. |
|||
Scott: Yeah. |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] I think I audibly said "Uh-oh" when I saw it. And I was -- |
|||
Rachel: To hire everyone for the – you know, to film it. So – Deathly Hallows is separate, you know what I mean? (laugh) |
|||
[b]Meesha:[/b] Yeah. |
|||
(laughter) |
|||
Meesha: Right |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] -- I think -- I -- I think I've expressed before that I've been -- I was hesitant about seeing this movie in the first pl -- when it was supposed to be -- you know, I -- of course, I would see the screen -- screening (laughs) no matter what, but -- |
|||
Rachel: So – so yeah – I highly doubt – unless they’ve already filmed it, we’re not going to see anything majorly new. It’d probably just be additions on to what we’re already seeing, you know what I mean? |
|||
[b]Meesha:[/b] Right. |
|||
Scott: Right, so what – what were your – three favorite scenes I guess then? ‘Cause I think they asked that question on the – Eric was saying they asking it on the – sheet… |
|||
Rachel: |
[b]Rachel:[/b] -- I was -- |
||
[b]Vince:[/b] Of course, I would. |
|||
Scott: On the survey. |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] I was debating about whether or not to see -- not because of it being delayed, but just because of -- I -- I was being -- I've been annoyed with the movies (laughs) recently so -- |
|||
Rachel: One thing I – I said that I really liked the Inferi – I thought they did a good job with the Inferius – except – I did say that I didn’t like the shell that they were using to scoop up the potion, but that was about it. But otherwise that was a really good scene – they did a good job with the whole – the whole cave scene was really good. |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] Yeah. Bitter. |
|||
Scott: And you’ve said you liked the scene when they arrive at the Burrow and – |
|||
Rachel: |
[b]Rachel:[/b] -- but -- |
||
[b]Vince:[/b] Yeah. |
|||
Scott: – what was your – |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] -- and this -- like -- I was just like "Oh God" -- I -- you know, what -- what -- you know, what are they thinking? (laughs) But it actually -- |
|||
Rachel: Love that scene. I thought that was… |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] Yeah. |
|||
Scott: – number three? |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] -- wasn't that bad. Maybe I was just expect -- you know, I've gotten used -- |
|||
Rachel: You know, I’m funny, I like – sometimes I like the less major scenes (laughs) But – But I love the scene in the hallway with McGonagall and – and – her getting, you know, Harry tim – I love those kinda details. That was one of my favorites too. But – I guess – otherwise I guess – I also thought that – I thought that some of the interaction between Harry and Dumbledore – little one liners that I don’t – I wish I could remember, but I don’t – like – they were pretty good too, for like the detail that they added in that showed their relationship building, so… |
|||
[b]Meesha:[/b] Yeah. |
|||
Scott: Right. |
|||
Rachel: |
[b]Rachel:[/b] -- to being (laughs) disappointed about the -- you know, about the movies by now, but I thought it wasn't that bad. |
||
[b]Meesha:[/b] Yeah. I see. |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] Is it a really quick -- |
|||
Rachel: You know (laugh) |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] [inaudible] |
|||
Scott: Yeah – everyone has said that cinematography is… |
|||
Vince: |
[b]Vince:[/b] Is it like -- |
||
[b]Rachel:[/b] -- you know? (laughs) |
|||
Meesha: Right. |
|||
[b]Meesha:[/b] Well, I mean, it -- |
|||
Vince: Yeah. |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] -- a really quick little scene? Is it like -- |
|||
Meesha: Due to the release date change for Half-Blood Prince to next year, the premieres scheduled for New York and London were cancelled. Since Dan Radcliffe will no longer be doing Equus in New York in July 2009, are you still planning to hold the US premiere there; and will the London premiere still include the royal family and screenings for fans? |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] It's -- |
|||
DAVID HEYMAN: We have not yet had those discussions. We suspect that there will be a premiere in New York and one in London. |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] -- [inaudible] |
|||
Meesha: After the news broke on the decision to move the film until next year, fans were very upset and (WB president) Alan Horn weighed in with his thoughts on this matter. Have you any words that you as the producer can say to those fans who are still very upset and concerned their feelings and dedication to the series are not being taken seriously? |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] -- not that long. He -- |
|||
DAVID HEYMAN: The fact is that my passion and that of everybody who works on the film is undiminished. It is called ‘the film business’ and the reason why Warner Bros moved the date was for business reasons. Because of the writer’s strike and other factors in Hollywood there was not the pipeline of material for next year that they needed. They had a very big year with The Dark Knight and they needed a big film for 2009 and Harry Potter filled that slot – |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] Oh. [inaudible] |
|||
Aaron: Exactly what I’ve been saying (laughs) |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] Basically, what happens is -- |
|||
Scott: Yeah, I think we kinda thought – |
|||
Meesha: |
[b]Meesha:[/b] Yeah. |
||
[b]Rachel:[/b] Basically, what happens is that Harry is sitting there reading the Daily Prophet and the waitress comes up and says -- it's basically otherwise empty -- and says, you know, "I saw -- you left one of those papers here another day -- or another -- the other night -- and I saw one of those pictures moving". And he -- he -- and he goes -- he goes, "Oh, well -- you know -- really?" Like, kind of -- you know -- like, I don't know what you're talking about. But -- and then -- (laughter) -- and then -- and then -- then, basically, he goes -- basically, she -- she's kind of flirting and -- and as she's about to leave, he goes -- well -- you know, "what time do you get off?" and -- |
|||
Scott: – that was the real reason and along but… |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] Ah. (laughs) |
|||
Meesha: |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] -- and then, all of a sudden, the windows fog up and I thought Dementors were coming, but -- because of the windows fogging up -- but it turns out to be Dumbledore. (laughs) So ... |
|||
– DAVID HEYMAN: I appreciate the disappointment, I really do. As a film maker it is always nice to finish a film and move on to the next. But I think that the film will not be hurt by this experience at all. The studio has always been, and remains, committed to the film in every way. |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] Oh. That's cool. (laughter) That's a cool effect, yeah. |
|||
If the film had come out in November this year, there would have been a two year wait for the first part of Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows. What now will happen is that there will be a two year gap between Order Of The Phoenix and The Half Blood Prince and there will only be, in ball park terms, a 16 month gap between Half-Blood Prince and the first part of The Deathly Hallows. The Deathly Hallows is coming out in exactly the same schedule as was originally planned and we are starting principal photography in February as planned. So nothing has changed with the other films. |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] And -- |
|||
Meesha: After the move of HBP to next year, we were uncertain if you were still going to do those test screenings, and I think its safe to say we were all thrilled with those reports from the first screenings-I know I can’t wait to see the movie! However, given there has to be cuts in beloved characters such as the House Elves, can you tell us if these things will impact the development of movie seven and eight (ie events at Gringotts/Grimmauld place and we love Dobby!). |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] Yeah. |
|||
DAVID HEYMAN: Inevitably there will be certain things that we will probably have to introduce and emphasise in the Seventh film. Before we read the Seventh book there had been things in the earlier films that we had not realized how important they were. There was an example in the Fifth film when we were considering cutting Kreacher but Jo [Rowling] said to me…"I wouldn’t do that if I were you"…She didn’t tell us why, but she said we would be advised to keep him. And of course in the Seventh book Kreacher is an important character. It has been a while, for example, since we have seen Dobby and I suspect we are going to have to make more of Dobby in Seven than we might have done. I think we have done a pretty good job of what we need in terms of the plot. |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] -- Dumbledore does chide him for being there. He says, you know, "you're -- that's really -- you know, you're not being safe." |
|||
Scott: Well, I’m just gonna say it’s very reassuring that at least they have some sort of plan to reintroduce him – ‘cause I don’t know, I was confused as to why they didn’t put him in Half-Blood Prince. It seems like it would have been good to throw him back in there, but at least they have a plan. |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] Oh. Very -- |
|||
Meesha: Yeah, it sounds like it |
|||
[b]Meesha:[/b] Oh good. |
|||
Rachel: I don’t mean to be a pessimist about it, but it bothers me that they couldn’t figure out how Kreacher could have been more useful. Like, all the fans – we didn’t have the 7th book out yet, but all the fans knew that he had to have something to do with that locket – you know? |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] -- good. |
|||
Meesha: Right, for her – |
|||
Scott: |
[b]Scott:[/b] Oh, okay. |
||
[b]Vince:[/b] Very good. |
|||
Meesha: – for her to say, keep him in the movie, I don’t – |
|||
[b]Scott:[/b] Okay. That's nice. |
|||
Rachel: They should have thought it a hint |
|||
[b]Meesha:[/b] That's what I was worried about. Yeah. That's good. |
|||
Meesha: – I don’t think she meant, you know – show him for a few seconds mumbling, you know? (laughs) |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] That's awesome. |
|||
Scott: No |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] Yeah and there's also little -- little jabs -- |
|||
Rachel: Exac – exactly right, and that just kinda proves to me that they don’t really know these books that well. I mean, I know they’ve read them – you know but, it doesn’t – they don’t know them, so… (laughs) |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] It's in character too. |
|||
Mesha: Yeah – |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] -- at Harry that I don't remember the exact -- exactly what he says, but I know that there was little interchanges and that was -- it started there and kept going throughout the movie where it made it really clear that -- that Harry was comfortable with him and -- and thought of him -- you know, was talking to him like -- |
|||
Scott: Right, yeah |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] Like a friend. |
|||
Meesha: – they don’t comb over them like we do |
|||
Rachel: They don’t even have to but they didn’t get – you know, they just missed the hint, so… |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] -- you would talk to your grandpa or his friend -- |
|||
Scott: It at least sounds like they’ve got a plan maybe for introducing Dobby back in Deathly Hallows |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] Ah. |
|||
Rachel: Well, no one – I mean, people who are not following the books are not gonna be that sad by his death. It’s not going to be that big of a deal – |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] -- or mentor, you know, so it wasn't -- it was no longer the same relationship anymore.[/fieldset][/expand] |
|||
Scott: Right |
|||
[*]Lucius’ imprisonment will be highlighted in the opening according to a test screening viewer in a newspaper. This is likely to be the newspaper Harry is reading. |
|||
Rachel: – I mean the reason why his death was such a huge deal is because it was so built up in the books – |
|||
[indent]Also some time in the beginning we see a newspaper article referring to Lucius being in Azkaban. There is a moving picture of him.[/indent] |
|||
[*]A cut scene from OotP was of Lucius in prison, it is likely they will use this footage: |

Rachel: And you know, Harry being really rather respectful to him too – you know? |
|||
[b]Meesha:[/b] Yeah, that's true. |
|||
Meesha: Right, yeah that was what I missed from Goblet of Fire was – the whole thing with Dobby and the socks. I wanted to see the socks, you know that was such a cute – sweet moment with him and Harry giving him the socks and I was hoping they would work some of that back in to build Dobby up |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] -- actually show them have any -- |
|||
Rachel: Yeah, you know – this movie I’m not surprised he wasn’t in it, but I thought they could have put him into both Order of the Phoenix and especially Goblet of Fire. He should have totally been in that one. No one knows he works at Hogwarts – I mean… |
|||
[b]Aaron:[/b] They just assume it. |
|||
Meesha: Right – the interview also includes some information on Deathly Hallows and filming for that and you can read that on Snitchseeker.com |

[b]Rachel:[/b] -- that they -- |

Scott: |
[b]Scott:[/b] Yeah. |
||
[b]Rachel:[/b] -- that they have to be a certain age or anything like -- or -- or how difficult it is. It's just, you know, something an adult wizard can do. And so -- yeah -- because, in the beginning, when Harry -- when Harry was taken from the tube station -- from wherever -- he was there -- who knows -- (laughter) -- but -- and -- but, he -- he was taken from the tube station and he says to Dumbledore -- he said, "Did I just apparate", and Dumbledore -- |
|||
Meesha: The last bit of news we have is 53 new pictures… |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] Oh. |

Scott: More probably, but – a ton (laughs). |

[b]Rachel:[/b] -- said, "Yeah", you know -- so ... |

Meesha: Yeah, a lot of new pictures – 50 plus (laughs). |
|||
[b]Meesha:[/b] So they do reference it? |
|||
Scott: … that came from German calendars and – |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] Yeah, and -- and it looks like it was described in the book. Like, I thought it was actually really well -- it looks like your kind of squeezing through a tube -- like a -- |

Rachel: With their backs… |

[indent]We see his hand, but I wouldn't call it "thoroughly explained" but it is certainly hinted at. So much it would be mindless for one not to understand why his hand is blackened. No mention that it was the cause of his death though, thank god[/indent] |

[indent]One of my largest concerns for the movie was getting to see Jim Broadbent as Horace Slughorn. Don’t worry. Throughout the movie, I was continuously impressed with how they adapted the character to the film, and to say that he does reflect my Slughorn from the books satisfactorily, with a little extra, is true. The scene where they meet Slughorn is surprisingly close to the events of the book, as is most of this movie, actually. I was surprised and delighted to see Couch-Slughorn put to film. |
|||
Dumbledore takes Harry along to slughorn's and at this point i thought i was getting a little wary considering slughorn wasn't at all like i imagined him to be... there's an illustration of slughorn in the book and that's more or less what i thought he would look like, whereas in the movie, he's much taller and a little thinner, and less indlugent and opulent looking..so i was a lil dissapointed by that, but trust me, as the movie goes on, that doesnt matter a bit because he fits in very well with the whole package...[/indent] |
|||
Vince: Right, the montage of everybody… |
|||
[*]A sequence of Harry and Dumbledore arriving at Slughorn’s came from the third trailer, released November: |
|||
Rachel: Yeah that was a slight – it was a really cool looking scene, was that whole – that whole script that you – that we were reading – I couldn’t figure out what was going on, though – like I didn’t understand why it was there, but it was really good looking, I mean the style looked amazing and it was – and it gave you a really eerie feeling. But I didn’t understand what the point was. Do you know what I mean? (laughs) |

[*]The inside of Slughorn’s Home was featured on the HBP Sneak Peeks from late 2007: |

Vince: I guess it’s just like – just like, um, to set up – |

[*]The Slughorn chair transformation has been confirmed from the Mugglenet Set Report Teaser: |
|||
Rachel: I think it’s just mood. |
|||
[indent]The chair version of Slughorn was also in the pressroom. I quickly had a seat in it. I plopped myself down a little too quickly and unexpectedly sank into it. His pajamas (which were right next to the chair) match the cloth on the couch and the transformation should be something hysterical.[/indent] |
|||
[*]Yates said there was a comical scene where someone goes to draw the drapes and the entire curtain falls. This might be part of the scene in Slughorn's house. |
|||
Vince: – set up the mood. |
|||
Scott: Just an ominous feeling for them entering the castle. |
|||
[*]A picture of Dumbledore and Slughorn [url=http://www.mugglenet.com/app/news/full_story/1812]has surfaced[/url] |
|||
Vince: It's good for racking up the tension |
|||
[img]http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd72/DarkIFaith/Half%20Blood%20Prince/ch4/SluggyandDD.jpg[/img] |
|||
Rachel: Yeah. |
|||
[*]A test screening viewer describes this scene: |
|||
Scott: Yeah. |
|||
[indent]Dumbledore is repairing the damage to the muggle house Slughorn is staying in at the beginning of the movie. Slughorn does not help but just stands there looking amazed and astonished at the magic Dumbledore is performing for some reason. Like he has never seen magic before[/indent] |
|||
[*]A shot of Slughorn showing Harry the photos of famous wizards on his mantelpiece came from the ABC sneak peeks: |
|||
Rachel: Like darkness is coming – something bad is going to happen. |
|||
[img]http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd72/DarkIFaith/Half%20Blood%20Prince/ch4/3photos.jpg[/img] |
|||
Scott: Yeah |
|||
[*]Nina Voelker, who was cast as Wendy Slinkhard, explains what significance her original character plays in the film: |
|||
Rachel: But it didn’t necessarily make much sense. |
|||
[indent]Only a very small role, Slinkhard Wendy is a former student of Professor Slughorn's and is now a published author, so I was in a picture with Professor Slughorn, played by Jim Broadbent, which I will dedicate in my book. This picture might be in Slughorn's house.[/indent] |
|||
[*]Slughorn will show Harry a picture of Lily, according to a test screening viewer: |
|||
Scott: Yeah, it doesn’t make sense because they’re not like flying through the air towards Hogwarts or… |
|||
[indent]Slughorn does tell Harry that he has his mother's eyes in the beginning when Harry first meets him. Slughorn shows him a picture of Lily. I don't think I have mentioned this anywhere before, but the picture looked a lot like ginny. A lot. It was the first thing I thought when I saw it. Not in a bad way either, I mean you could tell it wasn't her, but it looked like her. Kind of in keeping with a lot of fan art I have seen in terms of similarities.[/indent] |
|||
[*]Gambon had been camping it up on set and word got out that they filmed Dumbledore saying the "I do love knitting patterns' line. |
|||
Rachel: No one’s there – |
|||
Vince: Yeah, I know it’s not like the Dark Mark, or… |
|||
[*]Slughorn will shout "Alright! Alright" I'll take the job!" as Harry and Dumbledore leave his house like in the book. |
|||
Rachel: – they just left for the cave, so no one’s there, you know what I mean? (laughs) |
|||
Vince: And they miss the whole thing when they come back when they go ‘Oh my God, it’s the Dark Mark!’ You know, that whole thing is gone now. |
|||
[*]The second and third trailers (Oct and Nov) both showed Harry and Dumbledore apparating from Budliegh Babberton: |
|||
Scott: Mainly the pictures were of, er, the Slug Club – |
|||

[expand=5. An Excess of Phlegm][list][*]The Burrow is confirmed as in the movie. |
|||
Meesha: Yeah. |
|||
[*]Fleur Delacour and Bill have both been cut. |
|||
Scott: – the er, the Christmas party, and um – |
|||
Meesha: Ok – |
|||
[*]Test Screening viewers describe Harry’s arrival: |
|||
Scott: – Great Hall scene. |
|||
[indent]It's actually another really cute part of the movie - Dumbledore tells Harry that his trunk and Hedwig are waiting for him at the Burrow (whilst they're still... wherever they are getting Slughorn) and then it cuts to the Burrow and Ginny comes downstairs and sees Harry's stuff and yells for her mom, wanting to know when Harry arrived. Molly sticks her head over the railing from one of the higher floors and tells her that Harry HASN'T arrived and Ginny says something about his stuff being there... then Ron sticks HIS head over the railing from higher up and says, 'Did someone say Harry? What about Harry?' and Ginny says, 'Is he up there with you?' and Ron says, 'I'd know if my best mate was here, wouldn't I?' and then the same thing happens with Hermione, and they all get downstairs just as Harry comes in.[/indent] |
|||
[*]Pictures during this sequence have emerged: |
|||
Meesha: – there’s one – I want to know, what was the thing with the – there’s a picture and I know it’s from right before the Quidditch Match of – he’s got – Ron had the er, the helmet and the sweater and everything for the Quidditch, and he looks like – it looks like there’s some sort of confrontation between him – |

Scott: Oh, right. |
|||
[*]A picture of Harry and Ginny hugging has emerged online. It's most likely to take place when Harry arrives at the Burrow: |
|||
Meesha: – and McClaggen. |
|||
[CENTER][img]http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd72/DarkIFaith/Half%20Blood%20Prince/ch5/HaryyandGinnyHug.jpg[/img][/CENTER] |
|||
Rachel: yeah, er, I don’t remember exactly what happens, but, but he does – he – McClaggen’s obviously upset about not becoming s – um, the Keeper, so – |
|||
[*]Some additional support for this assumption is a quote from Leaky’s Set Report Teaser: |
|||
Vince: Ah, Ok. |
|||
[indent]The romance bug is making its rounds in this film, with Dan speaking of a script direction indicating an “oddly charged” moment between Harry and Ginny when they first see each other in the burrow[/indent] |
|||
[*]Staying true to the book, according to the HPANA Set Report Teaser, the Weasley Clock will have all hands pointing to “Mortal Peril” |
|||
Meesha: Ok. |
|||
[indent]and the Weasley's Burrow (complete with the family clock -- all hands pointing to "Mortal Peril").[/indent] |
|||
[*]A calendar picture showing the Weasley clock and the living room emerged: |
|||
Rachel: Yeah. |
|||
[expand=The Burrow][img]http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd72/DarkIFaith/Half%20Blood%20Prince/ch5/Burrow-2-1.jpg[/img][/expand] |
|||
[*]A scene in Ron's bedroom has been filmed and a picture of this scene has been leaked: |
|||
Meesha: Yeah |
|||
[img]http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd72/DarkIFaith/Half%20Blood%20Prince/ch5/trioronsbedroom.jpg[/img] |
|||
Vince: So they kept that, that’s good. |
|||
[*]A test screening viewer describes this scene |
|||
Rachel: Yeah. |
|||
[indent]This picture is when Harry first arrives at the burrow and Hermione and Ron tell him people are saying Dumbledore is not as sharp as he used to be. |
|||
I believe Hermione does asked Harry how he is doing regarding Sirius. This would be sometime during the scene in Ron's Room when they are all sitting on the floor. My memory is that he answers with an "I'm fine" with an obvious sense of more meaning, but he did not want to talk about it, kind of thing. Otherwise I do not recall any other mention of Sirius[/indent] |
|||
Vince: They kept that from the book. |
|||
[*]A scene between Ron and Hermione was noted by a test screening viewer |
|||
Rachel: Yeah, he’s – he’s – he’s definitely upset about the whole idea. |
|||
[indent]At the Burrow, there is some tension between Ron and Hermione when Ron wipes spearmint toothpaste off of Hermione's cheek.[/indent][/list][/expand] |
|||
[expand=6. Draco's Detour][list][*]We have received some info about these scenes from a [url=http://www.leakylounge.com/Visit-HBP-filmset-t60162.html&pid=1605639&mode=threaded#entry1605639]fan set report[/url]. Firstly, Diagon Alley will be seen again and Ollivander's has been destroyed: |
|||
[indent]We walked around Diagon Alley. Ollivander's had been destroyed, all the windows were smashed and it was trashed. The shops had complete interiors in case the camera caught a glimpse inside by accident. Quality Quidditch supplies had a Quidditch equipment display, uniforms on dummies and drawers full of clothing. Florean Fortescue's had fake ice cream sundaes lining the walls on shelves. Flourish and Blotts had hundreds of books inside the doorway piled up and on shelves. The large books in the windows are actually Watford phone directories covered![/indent] |
|||
[*]The empty Ollivanders shop will be visited, according to Mugglenet’s test screening review |
|||
Meesha: Oh, Ok, yeah. I was wondering – and then there’s this one of Lavender that we had talked about, er, trying – she looks like she’s either doing homework or writing in a diary. |
|||
[indent]Ollivander’s shop is empty. Can you believe they mention it? They do. They even have time to walk inside and feel sad.[/indent] |
|||
[*]More info from the [url=http://www.leakylounge.com/Visit-HBP-filmset-t60162.html&pid=1605639&mode=threaded#entry1605639]fan set report[/url] tells us that WWW Joke Shop is in the movie: |
|||
Rachel: Oh, oh |
|||
[indent]But WWW stood out in bright orange with a curved front door. It was the most wonderful place. It was like every dream you had as a kid. There were skiving snack boxes, puking pastels, U-No-Poo, sweets from floor to ceiling. It had a set of stairs winding up the middle and was three floors high. The detail was amazing; the shelves were crooked with brightly coloured goods on every surface. It was truly breath taking. At the end of our tour we watched them filming a scene there. When you see the scene where Fred and George are talking to Ron on the stairs, he asks how much for an item, they say '5 galleons', Ron says 'but I'm your brother' and they say '10 galleons'. Well I am standing behind the stairs (out of sight) by the door! It took eight takes just for that few seconds and I was told they only complete 2 minutes of film a day[/indent] |
|||
[*]A reliable source gave us the script for the WWW scene; shots of the shop were seen in the ABC sneak peeks: |
|||
Scott: It looks like the common room. |
|||
[fieldset=HBP script] 24 - INT. WEASLEY'S WIZARD WHEEZES - DIAGON ALLEY - DAY |
|||
CLOSE ON a SHOPPING BAG, bearing Weasley's Wizard Wheezes, clutched in the hand of a boy being pulled by his mother through the throng packed sardine-tight in the store. It's utter madness: Ever-Bashing Boomerangs whip through the air, Dr. Filibuster's Fabulous Wet-Start No-Heat fireworks spit sparks, and Nose-Biting Teacups bare tiny porcelain teeth. FRED & GEORGE WEASLEY, in SCREAMING MAGENTA, stand upon a counter, selling to the masses: |
|||
Meesha: Lavender – It’s in the common room. |
|||
FRED/GEORGE |
|||
Vince: Yeah Scott… |
|||
Step up! Step up! |
|||
GEORGE |
|||
Rachel: Yeah, I… |
|||
We've got Fainting Fancy... |
|||
FRED |
|||
Meesha: Looks like she might be ogling Ron. |
|||
Nosebleed Nougats... |
|||
GEORGE |
|||
Vince: Scott – |
|||
And just in time for school... |
|||
FRED |
|||
Rachel: Probably. (laughs) |
|||
Puking Pastilles! |
|||
A BOY stops chewing, turns PALE GREEN--literally. |
|||
Vince: – thinks she looks really, really hot. |
|||
FRED/GEORGE |
|||
(laughter) |
|||
Into the cauldron, handsome |
|||
Together, with the tips of their toes, Fred and George launch a SLOSHING CAULDRON down the counter, drop down on either side of Harry, begin to steer him through the store. |
|||
Vince: Scott, he likes that. |
|||
FRED |
|||
(laughter) |
|||
What'd you think, Harry? |
|||
HARRY |
|||
Rachel: I don’t have that picture up in front of me right now, um. |
|||
Amazing. |
|||
GEORGE |
|||
Meesha: Yeah. |
|||
(to a browsing boy) |
|||
Pocket that and you'll pay in more than Galleons, my friend. |
|||
FRED/GEORGE |
|||
Rachel: But yeah – no – that um, that sounds about right (laughs). Um. |
|||
We've got eyes in the back of our heads. |
|||
[img]http://i377.photobucket.com/albums/oo211/hbplist/ch6/6www.jpg[/img] |
|||
Scott: She was just giving him glances… |
|||
The boy, working a SCREAMING YO YO, blanches as Fred and George turn, reveal they do in fact have EYES IN THE BACK OF THEIR HEADS--phony, but unnerving. As the EYES WINK, the tiny boy bolts. |
|||
Rachel: She was doing that all the time, I mean she was always ogling – she was always ogling Ron, I mean. |
|||
GEORGE |
|||
(laughter) |
|||
Bloody urchins. |
|||
Harry eyes a display of ORANGE AND BLACK LUMPS. |
|||
Rachel: I mean, so, she – she never – yeah. |
|||
HARRY |
|||
Scott: Yeah. |
|||
Peruvian Instant Darkness Powder? |
|||
FRED |
|||
Rachel: She was always wa – like – looking at him, like, you know – every time she looked at him you got a sick feeling inside, you know, so (laughs) Um. But, er, yeah, so… |
|||
A real money spinner that. |
|||
GEORGE |
|||
Scott: Oh and then from the Slug Club there’s pictures we’ve seen both from the calendar now and before that that we were confused – there’s a scene with like just Harry and Slughorn and it’s either – we’re guessing before or after the Slug Club dinner. |
|||
Handy if you need to make a quick escape. Hello ladies! |
|||
George drops one of the lumps in Harry's hand, turns to Ginny and Hermione, who peruse a display of "Wonder Witch Love Potions." |
|||
Rachel: Yeah |
|||
[img]http://i377.photobucket.com/albums/oo211/hbplist/ch6/6www2.jpg[/img] |
|||
Scott: And, what’s the context of that, and er, when does it occur? |
|||
GEORGE (cont'd) |
|||
Rachel: The context is basically that um – there’s also in the script leak, Harry talks about it, Dumbledore does say to Harry that he wants him to allow Slughorn – Slughorn to collect him. |
|||
Yes, they really work. |
|||
FRED |
|||
Scott: Uh-huh. |
|||
Then again, the way we hear it, sis, you're doing just fine on your own. |
|||
GINNY |
|||
Rachel: That’s Harry making an effort to be collected. Now, the thing is that I got the impression that Slughorn didn’t really seem all that interested in collecting him. I mean, he wasn’t opposed to it, it just didn’t seem like he was like – |
|||
Meaning? |
|||
GEORGE |
|||
Scott: Hm. |
|||
Are you not currently dating Dean Thomas? |
|||
Harry pretends to consider a rack of "Ten-Second Pimple Vanisher," but secretly eavesdrops. |
|||
Rachel: – interest worth, you know what I mean? I felt like that was sort of missing, like I… |
|||
GINNY |
|||
Scott: Yeah, like he should be his prized possession, or… |
|||
None of your business. |
|||
HERMIONE |
|||
Rachel: …’cause people loved him and I didn’t. Everyone I heard – all the reviews I heard they loved Slughorn I thought he – I thought that was actually one of the worst characters, so I – |
|||
These are adorable. |
|||
Inside a cage, small round BALLS of FLUFF roll about, SQUEAK. |
|||
Scott: Hm. |
|||
FRED |
|||
Rachel: – I – but it’s just – I just thought that he seemed nervous and, um, and more shy, you know what I mean, and not – |
|||
Aren't they? Pygmy Puffs. Can't breed them fast enough. |
|||
Just then, a HUGE BOY (CORMAC MCLAGGEN) passes behind Hermione and, with his eyes, takes the full measure of her. Noticing, she turns, receives a faint smile as he moves on. |
|||
Scott: Yeah |
|||
RON |
|||
Rachel: – and not very anxious – not very anxious for the back seat of – you, know, to have a – to have a hand in power, but not really be, you know… |
|||
How much for this? |
|||
A TINY WOODEN MAN ascends a TINY GALLOWS and...DROPS. George rides a rolling ladder into FRAME, drops next to Fred. |
|||
Meesha: Yeah. |
|||
FRED/GEORGE |
|||
Scott: There’s like it’s just a different kinda take on him. It – was his acting still good? ‘Cause I think he – I – he’s a pretty good actor, isn’t he? |
|||
Five Galleons. |
|||
RON |
|||
Rachel: Well he’s a good actor but I – I felt like – I felt like he was acting the wrong – I didn’t feel like I was seeing Slughorn. I felt like I was seeing – |
|||
How much for me? |
|||
FRED/GEORGE |
|||
Scott: The character wasn’t right, yeah… |
|||
Five Galleons. |
|||
RON |
|||
Rachel: – a nervous old man who was, um, much more in – much more interested in, um – he was always – always in fear. I mean, there’s a side of Slughorn where Slughorn was always in fear of like Voldemort and – you know – they got that part of it, but I felt that that part of it was all of his character instead of just one part of it. You know what I mean? Like where he was afraid of Voldemort, um, retaliating against him. But I felt like it was – it dominated his character. That was my only… |
|||
But I'm your brother! |
|||
FRED/GEORGE |
|||
Vince: And they never mention he’s a Slytherin, right? |
|||
Ten Galleons. |
|||
RON |
|||
Rachel: I don’t know. I don’t think so. Not anywhere… |
|||
C'mon. Let's go. |
|||
The trio head for the door, passing LAVENDER BROWN, who smiles flirtatiously at an oblivious Ron. |
|||
Vince: Ok. Oh well. |
|||
LAVENDER BROWN |
|||
Meesha: Ok, there’s a picture of Neville from the – |

Hi, Ron. |

[*]Even more info from the [url=http://www.leakylounge.com/Visit-HBP-filmset-t60162.html&pid=1605639&mode=threaded#entry1605639]fan set report[/url] confirmed that Borgin & Burke's is in the film and there will be WANTED Posters of Bella and the Carrows in Knockturn Alley: |
|||
Meesha: – Gryffindor Boys Dorm. |
|||
[indent]We saw Knockturn Alley but the lights weren't on so it was by torch light! Saw Borgin and Burkes that way. The vanishing cabinet was in the centre, it was dark wood with a slanted roof. There were lots of skulls and creepy looking objects – even creepier due to the lack of lighting. There were wanted posters on the alley walls for Bellatrix and the Carrows.[/indent] |
|||
[*]A test screening viewer describes the Borgin and Burkes scene |
|||
Scott: He’s got like a pink bed. |
|||
[indent]Yes we see draco in Borgin and Burkes, greyback is there too. The trio actually follow Draco and Narcissa to the shop (did I mention, there is no scene at Madame Malkins, some of you have asked). So Narcissa actually accompanies Draco. There are very unique camera angles over Knockturn Alley and Borgin and Burkes for this scene. It is fairly well done. Though Hermione does not go in. |
|||
We didn't actually see the inside of Borgin and Burke's except through a dirty window, and it's Fenrir Greyback that pulls down the shade.[/indent][/list][/expand] |
|||
Meesha: He’s sitting on his bed – it’s not pink Scott. |
|||
[expand=7. The Slug Club][list][*]From the test screenings, it was noted the Hogwarts Express felt different. |

[indent]Apparently the Hogwarts Express seems a little different somehow. In a good way, and not like continuity is ruined, but it apparently has a different feel to it.[/indent] |

[b]Aaron:[/b] Ah, ok. |

Scott: It looks pink, it is red though |

[b]Rachel:[/b] It was bigger. So it wasn’t – it was more like a, you know, a real train rather than – and it – it was a little bit bigger looking.[/fieldset] |

Meesha: It’s a very light – it’s very light red. But he’s sitting on his bed, in his pyjamas. Do you know what was going on there? ‘Cause he – he looks upset… |

[*]Shots of the Hogwarts train travelling to Hogwarts have been filmed. A shot of the Hogwarts express featured in the first trailer, released July: |

Rachel: I’m trying to find this picture really quick – it’s still loading – I’m sure where this picture is actually. I’m not sure – it probably - … probably was – he was upset that he wasn’t in the Slug Club, so – |

[b]Meesha:[/b] – this picture. |
|||
Scott: Yeah, the one other interesting one was this one here with Arthur and Harry – and it’s an added scene to the movie, right, in the workshop? And we had the script for that scene… |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] – out the Quibblers to everybody. |
|||
Rachel: Oh, yeah, yeah! |
|||
[b]Scott:[/b] Oh. |
|||
Scott: What did you think of that scene? |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] Like – she’s just giving them away to everyone… |
|||
Rachel: … It was an interesting, I mean, that was where they – did – they changed it with – in that scene they’re talking about how Arthur checks – checks to see what – what Draco was doing in the… |
|||
(laughter) |
|||
Scott: Right. |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] How is that scene, anyway? I – Like, is that like a… |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] Oh, she was cute, you know – she was – she was typical Luna – I mean Evanna Lynch does a great job, so – as Luna – so – and she was just, just passing them out in her very Lunaish way and – and you know, Gin – Ginny gets one and Her – and I think even Hermione takes one too (laughs) at one point. (laughs)[/fieldset] |
|||
Rachel: I think in Borgin in Burkes or something. It had to do with – And he tells Harry that they were – he was looking at a cabinet and then Harry said ‘What, did he take the cabinet with him?’, or something, and then Arthur says ‘No. It’s still there.’ – |

[*]Luna will replace Tonks’ role of saving Harry. |

Rachel: – and they seem puzzled by the whole idea – they can’t figure it out. But the scene is kinda cool ‘cause it – they actually pan his – his workshop – his garage of Muggle – Muggle stuff and it’s actually kinda funny – it – it has – there’s a lot of detail – there’s a lot – I mean that could have been the Room of Requirement, you know with all the junk – it was like that kinda – you know, clutter and it’s just filled with Muggle stuff and – and being obviously tampered with in someway or another, so… |

|||
Let's just say I don't think you'll be seeing me wasting my time in Charms Class next year. |
|||
Confused, Pansy glances at Blaise, who snorts derisively. |
|||
Rachel: It’s a good scene. It’s a good shot. It was fun to see that – it’s a detail you never see in the book, but – but it – you know, that it was always implied, so (laughs) |
|||
MALFOY (CONT'D) |
|||
Scott: Ok. I think that pretty much wraps up all the interesting pictures. |
|||
Amused, Blaise? We'll see just who's laughing in the end. |
|||
Blaise shakes his head, smiling as he looks out the window at the darkness. Just then the small bag in the upper rack shifts. Malfoy's eyes play over it. |
|||
Meesha: I think we’ve covered just about everything. |
|||
33 - EXT. STATION - DUSK/EVENING |
|||
Scott: Yeah. |
|||
The Hogwarts Express steams into the station. |
|||
Rachel: Anything else you guys can always ask me another time (laughs) |

34 - INT. AISLE - HOGWARTS EXPRESS - SAME TIME - DUSK/EVENING |

Ron and Hermione step into the crowded aisle. |

|||
HERMIONE |
|||
Vince: Anytime, yeah. |
|||
Where's Harry? |
|||
RON |
|||
Scott: Most – there was a lot of pictures that were just solo shots of – characters as well that were included in the calendar shots, so. Those were the interesting ones about the scenes. |
|||
Probably on the platform. C'mon. |
|||
35 - INT. COMPARTMENT - DUSK/EVENING |
|||
(Transitional music – Room of Requirement – plays) |
|||
As Blaise and Pansy make to exit, Malfoy takes down the small bag, grips the handle thoughtfully. |
|||
Scott: So that’s it for the news this week. |
|||
MALFOY |
|||
-- |
|||
You two go on. I want to check something. |
|||
Malfoy slides shut the door. LETS THE BLINDS DOWN. A beat. |
|||
Meesha: This podcast was created as a companion to our Half-Blood Prince List, which contains everything known about the film thus far. Each episode we will discuss three chapters from the book and how they translate to the film. |

MALFOY (CONT'D) |
|||
-- |
|||
Didn't mummy ever tell you it's bad manners to eavesdrop, Potter? Petrificus Totalus! |
|||
Malfoy wheels, points his wand at the luggage rack. Something hits the floor with a THUMP. The Invisibility Cloak slips away and reveals Harry, paralyzed on the floor. Malfoy grins. |
|||
Scott: So, last week we brought you chapters four through six and now we’re going to go into the next three - chapters seven through nine. So ... The Slug Club - chapter 7. |
|||
MALFOY (CONT'D) |
|||
From test screenings, it’s been noted the Hogwarts Express feels different. A quote is: |
|||
Oh, right, she was dead before you could wipe the drool off your chin. |
|||
Apparently the Hogwarts Express seems a little different somehow. In a good way, and not like continuity is ruined, but it apparently has a different feel to it. |
|||
Malfoy brings his boot down hard on Harry's face. SNAP! Blood squirts from Harry's nose. Malfoy snatches up the Invisibility cloak, pitches it over Harry. |
|||
And there’s shots of the Hogwarts Express travelling, that were filmed and seen in the teaser trailer. |

Enjoy the ride back to London. |

36 - EXT. STATION - MOMENTS LATER - EVENING |
|||
Rachel: It – it had the dining car. That was how – I mean – that was – there was – there was other cars besides just the ca – you know, the – cabins that they usually are in. They – There was the – Draco was actually in a dining car, like there definitely – there was tables – was a – was a place to eat, you know (laughs) |
|||
Malfoy steps off, pulls his cloak tight and disappears into the night. Softly, a SOUND rises, of a GIRL LIGHTLY HUMMING and we CUT TO a... |
|||
Aaron: Ah, ok. |
|||
37 - INTO. AISLE - HOGWARTS EXPRESS - EVENING |
|||
Rachel: It was bigger. So it wasn’t – it was more like a, you know, a real train rather than – and it – it was a little bit bigger looking. |
|||
...STRANGE MOVING POV - HALF RED/HALF BLUE |
|||
Scott: Just the scenery looks different. Like they’re – |
|||
Luna Lovegood wanders down the aisle HUMMING, red and blue Spectrespecs wobbling on the bridge of her nose. Up ahead one compartment's BLINDS are shut. Luna stops HUMMING. Cocks her head curiously. As she does, the LIGHT from an overhead lantern kicks off the cheap plastic lenses of her glasses and, for the briefest of seconds, a FLUTTERING CLOUD appears. |
|||
Meesha: Yeah |
|||
Of tiny insects. Or pixie dust. Or a trick of the light. |
|||
Scott: – travelling through desert or something (laughs) – a barren landscape. Oh, and – and then we’ve got a picture of Luna, which is quite hilarious, in her Spectrespecs. (laughs) |
|||
38 - INT. COMPARTMENT - SAME TIME - EVENING |
|||
Vince: Yeah. |
|||
Luna's SILHOUETTE SWELLS over the blinds, then the door opens. She calmly draws her wand and sends forth a blast of RED LIGHT. The Invisibility Cload slithers from Harry's body. |
|||
Meesha: I love – |
|||
LUNA |
|||
Rachel: Yeah, she’s passing – |
|||
Hello, Harry. |

HARRY |

LUNA |

[*]A test screening viewer commented on this scene: |
|||
Scott: Oh. |
|||
[indent]I do not remember seeing alot of blood, but I think the blood might be added in with cgi. But we also experience the stomping from Harry's point of view as though we are lying on the ground and Draco is stomping on us. It was a very effective scene though, although I remember the audience gasping. In the following scene luna offers to repair his nose, and Harry asks something like, "Have you ever repaired a broken nose before?" so we do know that is was broken. (Luna fixes it without a hitch)[/indent] |

[b]Meesha:[/b] Yeah. |

[b]Rachel:[/b] Yeah. And that’s – that’s what pulls it off is it’s – I thing they put a snap in the script, you know what I mean, and it was a – it was a – (It sounded great) |

[b]Vince:[/b] Oh, they did? A snap? |

[b]Scott:[/b] Hm. |

[b]Rachel:[/b] Something you won’t want happening to you (laughs) |

[…] |

[b]Rachel:[/b] The only – the only problem with this scene is potentially that – is that – so, you know, Luna can see through an Invisibility Cloak with Spectrespecs. You know (laughs) – |

[b]Vince:[/b] Yeah. |

[b]Rachel:[/b] – it is one of the Deathly Hallows, so… (laughs) But – so … |

[b]Scott:[/b] Oh. |

[b]Rachel:[/b] – doesn’t make him completely invisible. |

[b]Scott:[/b] I just thought she saw the things kinda floating around in the air with… |

[b]Rachel:[/b] She does. But then – But she – But she knows that something’s there. |

[b]Rachel:[/b] Yeah. Yeah – they’re not too far. I mean they’re – they’re definitely behind everyone else, but they’re not – they’re not superbly behind. They – they make it to the feast. Well they at least – they make it to the announcements…[/fieldset][/expand] |

Um, one of Draco yelling Petrificus Totalus, and a couple of shots of Harry lying on the floor, and then one that looks like he’s covered with the cloak.

Scott: Oh. |

[b]Rachel:[/b] The one – the one cool think about that scene I – I personally liked it, was – when – Dumbledore goes up to that – to his, his lectern or whatever it is, with that owl there. It’s actually – the owl has its wings down as though is – standing like a statue. And then when he goes up there to make his speech, it like raises its wings up and like – into that pose that it’s always in when he standing there. You know what I’m talking about? |

[INDENT]Now to the subject of how Harry gets the potions book. Harry and Ron arrive in potions, and Slughorn tells them to go to the cabinet to take one of the extra copies he has. They open the cabinet which has several ratty old books and one virtually new one. Harry and Ron scramble in a typical teenagish way for the nice copy, which of course, Ron gets, leaving Harry to settle for one of the tattered old ones. When they begin to make the Draught of Living Death we see Harry open his books and the camera pans over the marked up pages. |
|||
They all start to make there potion and we see Hermione and Ron struggling to cut up the sopophorous bean. The camera then shows us the handwritten addition in the book (Harry may read it to himself out loud, I can’t remember for certain) “Crush with flat side of dagger, releases juice better than cutting.” After he crushes the bean, looking excited, Hermione, whose hair is becoming increasingly messy, frizzy and puffy, leans to him and asks him how he is doing that. He tells her what the handwritten instruction says to do, and she says something like, “but that not in the official instructions” and starts rereading her own book frantically. |
|||
Vince: It’d be a bad angle. |
|||
When Slughorn later declares Harry the winner and presents him with the Felix Felicis in front of the class, Ron and Hermione look annoyed and the whole class claps very unenthusiastically, while Harry with a huge shameless grin on his face accepts the bottle of potion. [/INDENT] |
|||
Rachel: This way you – yeah, and – |

[b]Rachel:[/b] Yeah. The class is on the other - you know, is looking at them, so… |

Meesha: Yeah. |

[b]Scott:[/b] Oh. Ok. We were wondering why it’s just the two of them. |

Rachel: Yeah. And that’s – that’s what pulls it off is it’s – I thing they put a snap in the script, you know what I mean, and it was a – it was a – (It sounded great) |

[b]Scott:[/b] Well it sounds… |

[b]Rachel:[/b] I – I actually… |

[b]Scott:[/b] …like they don’t have the spells… |

Rachel: |
[b]Rachel:[/b] Well they use them, but never talk about them. (laughs) |

[b]Scott:[/b] (laughs) Yeah, true. |

(laughter) |

Vince: Well, Yeah |

[b]Meesha:[/b] They’ve actually been using non-verbals the whole time, so … |

(laughs) |

[b]Scott:[/b] Yeah |
|||
-- |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] In fact – in fact it was used a lot during the movie and I couldn’t actually tell if anything was going to be added later. ‘Cause it seems like there were – there were times that – that there should have been words, like… I – I thought it – And they just didn’t use them at all. But – and there’s a lot of epic – then again through out the movies there’s always been, like, spouts of magic without wands and weird things like that (laughs)[/fieldset] |
|||
Scott: So that was chapter 7 and actually chapter 8 then – we have the script it’s – the chapter Snape Victorious. It actually probably goes in chapter 7, but – OK, so er, we have the script for this scene, that occurs in the er, Hogwarts Express, where Harry is discovered and we’re going to act it out again. I am the narrator as well as Ron. |

[*]There will be a scene where the trio sit around the common room and discuss the Prince's book: |

Vince: I am Draco Malfoy. |

|||
[*]A test screen viewer has described the context of this scene: |
|||
Rachel: And I’m Luna (laughs) |
|||
[INDENT]Later in the common room the trio sit around (Ginny is somewhere around) and Harry is reading the Potions book. He notices the spell for Sectum Sempra and tries to show this to Hermione and Ron. Hermione gets upset/annoyed and says that she wants to see whose book it was. She jumps up and tries to grab in from him. Harry holds it back out of her reach but Ginny who comes from behind Harry grabs it and backs away and says she also wants to know who wrote that stuff in the book. She quickly flicks to the back and then reads out loud, “This book is the property of the Half-Blood Prince.”[/INDENT][/list][/expand] |
|||
[expand=10. The House of Gaunt][list][*]At the U.S. OOTP premiere at Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles, director David Yates told us that they are currently working on paring down the many memories in Half-Blood Prince to a workable film format: |
|||
[indent]"We're making a decision right now to compress those a wee bit, but we've still got some really cool ones. We've got, you know, the wonderful thing is seeing Riddle as a child, which is really scary, and I've found a really interesting kid to play Riddle. I can't tell you who it is yet -- it's early days."[/indent] |
|||
[*]Producer David Heyman later expanded on Yates's comments: |
|||
Meesha: I’m Hermione |
|||
[indent]"There will be memories, but not as many as there are in the book." When I asked which ones they're cutting, he said, "I can't say that yet because it's still a work in progress. We haven't locked up the script yet."[/indent] |
|||
[*]The Gaunt scene seems to be cut as Yates recently said that they have only “2 or 3 memories” |
|||
Aaron: And I’m Harry. |
|||
[indent]In the books, the memories were a very big part of JK Rowling's story. We've actually pared them down in our story, and she was very supportive of that decision. They're such an enjoyable part of reading the Half-Blood Prince. But we've kind of distilled them down to two or three memories to try to keep everything more in the moment. Flashbacks in movies are tricky things; they tend to hold up the momentum of the story you're telling.[/indent] http://i377.photobucket.com/albums/oo211/hbplist/Ch1/1diagonalley.jpg |
|||
[*]Test screening viewers confirm that the Gaunts are cut and that the “2 or 3” memories are the orphanage and the fake and real horcrux memories.[/list][/expand] |

[expand=11. Hermione's Helping Hand][list][*]It appears the Quidditch Tryouts will be included in HBP, based on Devon Murray's (Seamus) comments: |
|||
[indent]Devon says that he's hardly in Half-Blood Prince, but still has a bit of fun (says Seamus is the stupidest wizard in all of Hogwarts, in his opinion); there might be some pyromania with his character and he mentions Seamus trying out for Quidditch trials in the sixth film and doing a bad job at flying.[/indent] |

Ron and Hermione step into the crowded aisle. |

|||
As the trio enter, Harry glances round, locates Slughorn at the bar, planted plumply on a stool. |
|||
HARRY |
|||
No. Over here. |
|||
Hermione and Ron, in the midst of seating themselves at a perfectly acceptable---and clean---table, see Harry seat himself at one strewn with detritus of a previous customer--but which puts him in direct view of Slughorn. They exchange a glance, shrug, join Harry. Ron starts to take the chair directly opposite Harry--blocking his view. |
|||
HARRY (CONT'D) |
|||
No, no. Sit next to me. |
|||
Ron stops, exchanges another glance with Hermione. |
|||
RON |
|||
O-kay. |
|||
A SKINNY KID in an apron appears, tosses a FILTHY RAG upon the table--which begins to wipe the surface on its own. Harry cranes his neck around the kid to keep Slughorn in view. |
|||
SKINNY KID |
|||
What'll we have? |
|||
HERMIONE |
HERMIONE |
||
Three Butterbeers. Splash of ginger in mine, please. |
|||
Where's Harry? |
|||
The kid WHISTLES and the rag leaps back into his pocket. Harry continues to eye Slughorn, when he sees Draco. They lock eyes briefly, then Draco exits. |
|||
RON |
RON |
||
Aw, bloody hell... |
|||
Probably on the platform. C'mon. |

Harry turns, and sees Ron glowering at Ginny who sits in a dark corner with Dean, their faces lit by a guttering candle. |
|||

HERMIONE |

As Blaise and Pansy make to exit, Malfoy takes down the small bag, grips the handle thoughtfully. |

Oh, honestly Ronald. They're just holding hands... |
|||
(as Dean kisses Ginny) |
|||
And snogging. |

RON |
|||
MALFOY |
|||
I'd like to leave. |
|||
You two go on. I want to check something. |

|||
Leave? You can't be serious. |
|||
RON |
|||
MALFOY (CONT'D) |
|||
That happens to be my sister. |
|||
Didn't mummy ever tell you it's bad manners to eavesdrop, Potter? Petrificus Totalus! |
|||
HERMIONE |
|||
Malfoy wheels, points his wand at the luggage rack. Something hits the floor with a THUMP. The Invisibility Cloak slips away and reveals Harry, paralyzed on the floor. Malfoy grins. |
|||
So? What if she looked over here and saw you snogging me? Would you expect her to get up and leave? |
|||
Ron blinks, utterly speechless. Then: |
|||
MALFOY (CONT'D) |
|||
Oh, right, she was dead before you could wipe the drool off your chin. |
|||
SLUGHORN |
|||
Malfoy brings his boot down hard on Harry's face. SNAP! Blood squirts from Harry's nose. Malfoy snatches up the Invisibility cloak, pitches it over Harry. |
|||
Harry, m'boy! |
|||
Slughorn's voice BOOMS so loudly even Ginny jumps--and catches Harry looking. As Slughorn waddles over, SLOSHING mug in hand, Harry rises immediately--an action so grossly out of character that Hermione regards him with amused curiosity. |
|||
MALFOY (CONT'D) |
|||
Enjoy the ride back to London. |

HARRY |
|||
36 - EXT. STATION - MOMENTS LATER - EVENING |
|||
Hello, sir. Wonderful to see you. |

Hermione, brow wrinkling, turns to Ron, silently mouths: wonderful to see you? |

Oh, the Three Broomsticks and I go way back. Longer than I'd care to admit. In fact I remember when it was simply One Broomstick! |
|||
As Slughorn GUFFAWS, Harry joins in, LAUGHING HEARTILY as well. Slughorn's belly trembles next to Hermione's cheek and his waving mug sloshes over, spattering the table. |
|||
Luna Lovegood wanders down the aisle HUMMING, red and blue Spectrespecs wobbling on the bridge of her nose. Up ahead one compartment's BLINDS are shut. Luna stops HUMMING. Cocks her head curiously. As she does, the LIGHT from an overhead lantern kicks off the cheap plastic lenses of her glasses and, for the briefest of seconds, a FLUTTERING CLOUD appears. |
|||
SLUGHORN (CONT'D) |
|||
Of tiny insects. Or pixie dust. Or a trick of the light. |
|||
Oops! All hands on deck, Granger! |
|||
Hermione smiles thinly, when a WHISTLE is heard and the FILTHY RAG is back, whisking away Slughorn's mess as the SKINNY KID slides three foaming mugs onto the table. (In the b.g. Katie Bell emerges from the back, starts for the exit. Her friend LEANNE follows her out.) |
|||
38 - INT. COMPARTMENT - SAME TIME - EVENING |
|||
SLUGHORN (CONT'D) |
|||
Luna's SILHOUETTE SWELLS over the blinds, then the door opens. She calmly draws her wand and sends forth a blast of RED LIGHT. The Invisibility Cloak slithers from Harry's body. |
|||
Listen, m'boy. In the old days, I used to throw together the occasional supper and invite a select student or two. Would you be game. |
|||
HARRY |
|||
LUNA |
|||
I'd consider it an honor, sir. |
|||
Hello, Harry. |

SLUGHORN |

You'd be welcome too, Granger. |

Hermione in the midst of emptying her Butterbeer in one long draw, SLAMS down her mug--leaving behind a "mustache." |

Be delighted, sir. |

SLUGHORN |

Brilliant. Look for my owl. |

Dumbledore asked me to...get to know him. |

LUNA |
|||
Get to know him? |

Wrackspurts. Your head's full of them. |

Scott: So, yeah, it’s been changed. Luna discovers Harry instead of Tonks as in the book. |
|||
Dunno. But it must be important. Otherwise Dumbledore wouldn't ask. |

|||
Rachel: Yeah. |

RON |

Scott: Comments on that guys? |

Um...You've got a little... |

Without a thought, she flicks her tongue up, wipes it clean.[/fieldset] |

[*]There is a small scene ‘at the beginning’ concerning Ginny’s relationship with Dean: |

Scott: Right. |

[indent]During Dan's interview, he commented about a scene where Ron says, in the beginning of the movie - while Ginny is dating Dean Thomas: "You have to hate anyone who goes out with their sister as a matter of principle." Harry, a bit ashamed, answers: “Yeah, I suppose so…."[/indent] |

[indent]There were mannequins of Katie Bell when she had been hexed, one life size and one smaller for when Hagrid is holding her. She was wearing a red scarf and red coat.

[*][url=http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk300/lcbaseball22/proofnz1.jpg?t=1221897215]A call sheet[/url] shows a scene 54 in Hogsmeade, with the characters Harry, Ron, Hermione, Hagrid, Katie and Leanne in it, described as follows: |
|||
Scott: So … |
|||
[indent]Katie gets hexed by necklace, Hagrid saves her[/indent] |
|||
[*]A picture of Harry and Hermione in the snow has been released, possibly during this sequence: |
|||
Vince: … she’s a background character in the movie, so I don’t think – |
|||
[IMG]http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll156/Arry3G/listpics/HarryandHermionesnow.jpg[/IMG] |
|||
Rachel: Yeah. |
|||
[*]A test screening viewer describes the scene: |
|||
Vince: – people would remember her. |
|||
[indent]It was truly chilling, the girl playing Leanne had an outrageous scream. I wouldn't be surprised if they actually toned it down with a voice over or something for the actual movie. It happens almost exactly as its described in the book, although Hagrid seems to appear "just in the nick of time". We see Katie and Leanne fighting over the necklace, Leanne telling Katie it was a mistake to take it. Then, Katie is suddenly lifted into the air and we see her head awkwardly go back and we can see inside her mouth. It was kind of awkward, in a good way though.[/indent] |
|||
[*]Another test screening viewer describes this scene more in detail: |
|||
Rachel: The only – the only problem with this scene is potentially that um – is that – so, you know, Luna can see through an Invisibility Cloak with Spectrespecs. You know (laughs) – |
|||
[indent] Just like in the book we see the trio walking back along a snow covered lane, with Katie Bell and Leanne a little ahead of them arguing. Leanne says something like, you should never have taken it and then Katie collapses and Leanne screams. |
|||
Just as the trio run forward to help Katie rises very high up into the air, with her arms stretched out the side and her head all the way back and her mouth wide open. We can see every single tooth of her top row of teeth (the audience laughed at that so I wonder if it will be cut). She hangs up there for a moment, then comes crashing to the ground. |
|||
Vince: Yeah. |
|||
Hagrid comes out of no where yell, get back picks her up shaking her slightly shouting Katie! Then Harry notices the necklace on the ground which has fallen out of the package. Hagrid yells "don't touch it!" and takes Katie. |
|||
Rachel: – it is one of the Deathly Hallows, so…(laughs) But – so … |
|||
I really can't remember if Harry picks it up with the packaging around it or if that is my knowledge of the book tainting my memory of the scene, but Everyone seems to end up in the entrance hall (or it looked like an entrance hall which was nice because previous HP movies never really had an indoor one) and McGonagall is there and is given the necklace which Snape, who runs up, picks up the necklace, using his wand. |
|||
Scott: So she can actually see his body? I thought that … |
|||
Then McGonagall asks Leanne (who looks a little too similar to Cho Chang, who, for those who wondered, is not in the movie) what happened who says that Katie said she had to bring the package to Dumbledore, but wouldn't say who gave it to her. |
|||
Rachel: Well no. I mean she can see something. So – It’s not completely – |
|||
Then McGonagall's attention turns to the trio who is standing a bit behind Leanne and says something like "Now why is it that when something bad happens you three always seem to be present?" |
|||
Scott: Oh. |
|||
Ron says something like "Believe me professor I really wish we weren't." |
|||
Rachel: – doesn’t make him completely invisible. |
|||
Harry then says he thinks that it was Draco, and Hermione and Ron stare at him and possibly say something but I don't remember. McGonagall says that is a very serious accusation, and Snape who is watching says "And just what is your evidence?" in his slow deep demanding voice. |
|||
Scott: I just thought she saw the things kinda floating around in the air with … |
|||
Harry admits he doesn't have any. He may have said more, but I can't remember as I think my memory of what happened in the book might have me misremembering the rest of his words.[/indent] |
|||
Vince: Ambiguous, then eh? |

[*]According to a test screen viewer, Harry and Dumbledore do not physcially appear in the memories: |

Scott: Yeah. |

[INDENT]I should add that the present day Dumbledore and Harry do not appear in the memory scenes. Harry sticks his head in the pensive and watches it from there.

[*]This scene was the main focus in the first trailer, released July, although special effects weren’t complete as they were in the third: |

|||
Vince: Luna … |
|||
[b]Aaron:[/b] But – |
|||
Rachel: – It doesn’t look like anyone. It looks like, you know, a really small form of flies maybe. Colourful flies, maybe, you know what I mean? It doesn’t – It doesn’t … |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] But – |
|||
Vince: So I guess they’re real then? |
|||
[b]Aaron:[/b] -- like what – |
|||
(laughter) |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] -- and the orphanage scene is very much like the -- the trailer . So -- we -- I mean -- you saw most of it. There was -- there was very little extra added on there. So (laughs) – |
|||
Scott: I suppose so. |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] That's all – |
|||
Rachel: Well they are seen through Spectrespecs, so (laughs) |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] -- but it was a really good scene. |
|||
Vince: Yeah. |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] That's all the lines that we heard in the trailer in that scene or is there like a little bit more lines in that scene? In the orphanage scene. |
|||
Scott: So, the train then, isn’t about to leave. It doesn’t appear it’s pulling out and he gets found, you know, before he’s – you know, off, and gonna miss the feast. It –It’s like she discovers him right away as they...? |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] There's a little bit more. Like – |
|||
Rachel: Yeah. Yeah – they’re not too far. I mean they’re – they’re definitely behind everyone else, but they’re not – they’re not superbly behind. Um. They – they make it to the feast. Well they at least – they make it to the announcements … . |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] Like what? |
|||
Scott: Well that – that may be why the gates were open then. They would be locked if they were later. |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] -- it's a little bit -- it's not quite as jumpy. Like he talks about -- you know -- the fact that he can talk to snakes and stuff like that. But it -- it wasn't -- I mean that -- there -- it was in the trailer, but it was slightly -- a slightly – |
|||
Rachel: Well – I mean I think they were closed too – they just opened them on their own, which was … |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] Edited. |
|||
Scott: Oh. |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] -- a slightly different order. |
|||
Rachel: I guess why I was – I was a little – Why I thought it was a little strange since they could so easily open that gate – |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] Edited. Yeah. |
|||
Scott: Interesting. |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] Yeah. But there was no talk to Mrs. Cole or anything. |
|||
Rachel: – you know … |
|||
[b]Scott:[/b] Huh. I wonder if – |
|||
Scott: So, um. I think this was your comment here. A test screening viewer commented on this scene: |
|||
I do not remember seeing a lot of blood, but as I said once before, I think the blood might be added in with CGI. But we also experience the stomping from Harry's point of view as though we are lying on the ground and Draco is stomping on us. It was a very effective scene though, although I remember the audience gasping. In the following scene Luna offers to repair his nose, and Harry asks something like, "Have you ever repaired a broken nose before?" so we do know that is was broken. Luna fixes it without a hitch. So… |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] They took – |
|||
(laughter) |
|||
[b]Scott:[/b] -- they cut that because we saw a trading card with – |
|||
Scott: Apparently Luna’s a healer in this (laughs) |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] Yeah. |
|||
Rachel: But Harry is nervous about this whole idea, He – He even says “Have you ever fixed any noses before” (laughs) and then she says, you know, “Couple of toes” (laughs) |
|||
[b]Scott:[/b] -- Mrs. Cole and Dumbledore talking it looked like. |
|||
Vince: I think we’ve got Super Luna in this movie, not – (laughter) instead of Pink Power Ranger. |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] I -- they may have been cut. But it wasn't there when I saw it. (laughs) |
|||
Scott: Yeah. Little bit like the scene with Hermione with, is it the first movie? When she fixes his glasses or something – |
|||
[b]Scott:[/b] Yeah. |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] Yeah.[/fieldset][/expand] |

[*]A picture of Harry filling the Pensieve with a memory emerged: |
|||
Rachel: Yeah, but there’s a – there’s definitely a – you get the impression that, you know – That one you can tell that Har – Hermione knows what she is doing. This one you don’t really – you don’t know that it’ll work (laughs) |

[*]A test screening viewer talks of this sequence: |

[indent]Dumbledore does not really speak with Mrs. Cole. He just follows her up the stairs as she shows him to Riddle's room. What you saw in the trailer is very close to what we saw.[/indent] |

|||
Rachel: So … |
|||
[*]The first Slug Club meeting will not be on the train. As Slughorn asks Harry to this party in Hogsmeade, the first meeting will most likely take place in the timeline here. This scene could be anywhere in the movie. |
|||
Scott: So the Hogwarts gates, which have never been seen before, apparently will be seen this time, due to a comment from a fan set report a while back: |
|||
We were shown the Hogwarts gates – they’re in a small clump of trees with the tops lopped off and have blue screen on each side – blue instead of green because of the trees and grass. The spikes on the gate are made of rubber for health and safety reasons. There are huge carved griffins – actually it looks like the picture it’s boars. |
|||
Rachel: It’s boars, that’s not right – yeah, it’s winged boars … |
|||
[*]A picture of a Slug Club dinner [url=http://www.mugglenet.com/app/news/full_story/1812]has surfaced[/url]. Counter-clockwise, the following people are in the picture: a 6th year student played by Elliot Francis, Harry, Hermione, Neville, a set of twins (probably the Carrow twins they have cast), McClaggen, Slughorn, Blaise, Belby and Ginny. |
|||
Scott: … on top of the gate columns. They said the CGI will be added later with Hogwarts castle on one side and the trees will be repeated to make the Forbidden forest. |
|||
[IMG]http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll156/Arry3G/listpics/SlugClub-1-1.jpg[/IMG] |

And there’s a shot from the video game which is based on the film that shows the gates. And it is hogs. (laughs) |
|||
Vince: Yeah. |
|||
[*]A test screening viewer describes Belby: |
|||
Rachel: Yeah, and actually there – there’s that other picture that came out too. That other the picture that people think is photoshopped. It – It may be, but it looked a lot like what I saw. |
|||
[indent]Belby was at the slugclub stuffing his face full of ice-cream, oblivious to the fact that his answer about his not being in touch with his uncle had made him lose favor.[/indent] |
|||
[*]According to test screening sources, Ginny comes late due to her split with Dean, and Nevile is at the dinner: |
|||
Scott: Well, was – was Draco and Filch there then, when they arrived? At the … |
|||
[indent]We don't SEE it happen ... at Slughorn's dinner party, though, Ginny comes in late with her eyes all red and Hermione whispers to Harry that Ginny and Dean have been fighting "again" and so it's kind of implied - I don't recall if it's ever implicitly mentioned![/indent] |

|||
Rachel: Yeah. |
|||
Scott: Oh, ok. |

[*]Another picture shows this: |

Rachel: Yea. I – If it was a photoshopped – it could very well be photoshopped cos it doesn’t look like Har – his hair is right for that sce – you know for the right year … |

Rachel: … it was definitely there. I mean – it was definitely right … |

[indent]Neville is at the first dinner that Slughorn holds - the one that Ginny's late for, but is never seen with the Slug Club again.[/indent] |

[*]A calendar montage is of this scene: |
|||
Scott: I thought Luna was Tonks at first ‘cause I see a little bit of purple hair in this scene, but yeah. There’s another sh – another um, picture of Harry and Luna at the Hogwarts gates. So – so it may be photoshopped, but still at least the scene that occurs in the film … |

|||
[*]A picture of Harry and Slughorn has emerged. It was first unclear what the context of this scene was, but the set and costumes are the same as the above picture, so it probably straight after that scene. There is no certainty, though, when either the above scene or this scene occur [IMG]http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll156/Arry3G/listpics/SluggyandHarry.jpg[/IMG] |

|||
Rachel: Yeah, oh yeah! ‘Cause you can see her on the Hogwarts Express wearing the um – that picture of her with the Quibblers and the Spectrespecs is – is from the Hogwarts Express, so that has to be what she was wearing. |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] Yeah |
|||
[b]Scott:[/b] And, what’s the context of that, and – when does it occur? |
|||
Rachel: You know what I mean? |

[b]Rachel:[/b] The context is basically that – there’s also in the script leak, Harry talks about it, Dumbledore does say to Harry that he wants him to allow Slughorn – Slughorn to collect him.[/fieldset][/list][/expand] |

Scott: Hm. Well at least we’ve got another scene with Snape. |

Rachel: |
[b]Rachel:[/b] Yeah, I… |

[b]Meesha:[/b] Looks like she might be ogling Ron. |

Vince: That’s good to know. |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] Probably. (laughs) I don’t have that picture up in front of me right now… |
|||
Scott: Yeah. And then, the last thing from this chapter with the opening feast, we have a behind the scenes shot of Dumbledore giving his speech with his glasses actually this time, the half moon spectacles, which is surprising. We don’t see those much – couple scenes throughout now – |

[b]Meesha:[/b] Yeah. |

[b]Rachel:[/b] But yeah – no – that – that sounds about right (laughs)… |

[b]Rachel:[/b] She was doing that all the time, I mean she was always ogling – she was always ogling Ron, I mean. |

(laughter) |
(laughter) |

[b]Rachel:[/b] I mean, so, she – she never – yeah. |

Rachel: McGonagall’s are off too though. You know, McGonagall is supposed to be wearing glasses and she almost never does in the movies, so … |

Scott: Yeah. |
[b]Scott:[/b] Yeah. |

[*]Hermione's jealousy is confirmed; a test screening report further confirms this: |

Scott: What is that scene like, the Great Hall opening feast scene this time. I don’t think we’ve heard too much about it. |

[indent]Hermione showed big time jealousy! Emma Watson is excellent in these scenes.[/indent] |
|||
[*]A picture and a ABC sneak peek shot shows a small scene involving Ron and McClaggen: |
|||
Rachel: The one – the one cool think about that scene I – I personally liked it, was um, when um, Dumbledore goes up to that er, to his, his lectern or whatever it is, with that owl there. Um, it’s actually – the owl has its wings down as though is er, standing like a statue. And then when he goes up there to make his speech, it like raises its wings up and like – into that pose that it’s always in when he standing there. You know what I’m talking about? |

[*]A test screening viewer describes this picture: |

Rachel: Yes. |

[INDENT]This picture is before Rons first Quidditch game (the only one shown) and he is scared to death. I think he is saying here how he plans on quitting. Thats when Harry pretends to slip him the FF potion but it is Luna who notices and says something not Hermione. Hermione does not get as mad as she does in the book either.[/INDENT] |
|||
[*]A description of this scene in the Great Hall has been released from the Daily Snitcher Set Report, probably scene 59, which the last line of dialogue is in the below script leak: |
|||
Scott: … er for Defence Against the Dark Arts and Potions? |
|||
[indent]Once we had learnt all of this information filming of the scene was again about to start. "Take 11" was called along with "Action" and the scene began. Harry, Hermione, Ron and Luna are sitting on the Gryffindor table alongside all of the other Gryffindor students. Ron asks Hermione how the dinner party was the night before, to which Hermione responds. Ron, feeling a little miffed, believes that Hermione is going to ask McClaggen to go to Slughorn's party; however Hermione shocks him by stating that she was in fact going to ask him to go. Luna, wearing a Gryffindor lion's head headdress is shocked to see Harry put something into Ron's drink, to which she believes is Felix Felicis. Cue Lavender who comes onto the scene, whispers into Ron's ear and states that he will be great, to which Ron feels revitalised and exclaims they have a match to wins and leaves.[/indent] |

[*]A reliable source on IMDB has leaked a scene from the script about this Quidditch scene; shots of the scene came from the third trailer, released November: |

C'mon, Harry. We've got a game to win. |

CLOSE UP - QUAFFLE, as it ROCKETS into the AIR... |
|||
Rachel: They do in the first. |
|||
60 – EXT. QUIDDITCH PITCH - DAY |
|||
Scott: Do they? |
|||
Instantly, Slytherin snatches the Quaffle and rushes en masse toward Gryffindor's end, weaving and passing with wicked skill, culminating in a vicious, slicing shot on |
|||
Aaron: It’s in the first and the fifth. |
|||
goal. Just when it appears it will clear the hoop, Ron streaks out of nowhere and sends the Quaffle screaming in the opposite direction. |
|||
[IMG]http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll156/Arry3G/listpics/sc39.jpg[/IMG] |
|||
Ginny pauses on her broom, stunned. |
|||
Scott: Oh. |
|||
GINNY |
|||
Meesha: Yeah. |
|||
What's gotten into him? |
|||
She glances up at Harry, circling high above and he grins. Just then, Dean streaks by: |
|||
Aaron: It’s mentioned at least two … |
|||
DEAN |
|||
Meesha: It was in Order of the Phoenix too that they – |
|||
Ginny! Let's go! |
|||
Instantly, she rolls backwards, jets off and races down her fellow Chasers. Flying in spread formation, |
|||
Vince: Yeah. |
|||
[IMG]http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll156/Arry3G/listpics/sc38.jpg[/IMG] |
|||
Dean--on the far wing--starts the Quaffle "up the line" until it lands in Ginny's hand. Pitching herself into a wide slide to avoid a PAIR of WHISTLING BLUDGERS, she leans recklessly off her broom and whips the Quaffle through the goal untouched. |
|||
Meesha: – that he had put – |
|||
As the CROWD SCREAMS, Harry eyes the Gryffindor section, where Luna's LION HAT ROARS, Lavender CLAPS for Ron and Hermione sits with her arms crossed, a look of supreme annoyance on her face. Harry grins, jets off. |
|||
Aaron: During Umbridge’s – |
|||
61 – INT. GRYFFINDOR COMMOM ROOM - NIGHT |
|||
Meesha: Yeah. |
|||
The room teems with students celebrating Gryffindor's victory. It feels like Mardi Gras. Or a mosh pit. Or a riot. And Ron is right smack in the middle of it. |
|||
Scott: Seems there should be more surprise then. And – yeah – did you feel like something was missing – |

Harry takes his backslaps on the periphery, smiling as he sips a Butterbeer and enjoys Ron's turn in the spotlight. |
|||
Scott: – the Defence Against the Dark Arts class in. Did you feel that was something missing in the film? |
|||
HERMIONE |
|||
Rachel: You know, strangely no, and I – and it – and the funny thing is that one of my favourite, favourite lines is from that – that class. But I never thought that – that that was – all that crucial, like it didn’t – it – in this movie – it didn’t really matter. Um … |

Ron seems to be enjoying himself. |

HARRY |

Yep. Apparently it's his lucky day.[/fieldset] |

[*]Won Won and Lav-Lav’s relationship has been confirmed by many sources and they will kiss many times. |
|||
Vince: Harry and Snape. |
|||
Scott: – non-verbal spells, just –they could have combined those two class scenes from the book into one class … |
|||
[*]Information of their first kiss came from test screening reviews |
|||
Meesha: Yeah. |
|||
[indent] As far as the kiss... they get the Harry/Ginny kiss everyone was hoping for as described in the book. She runs at Ron after the Quidditch victory and jumps on him and kisses him... actually kind of looks like she's trying to eat his face (it's PERFECT - I promise!)... but it just... works, you know? It's a good scene, and the two of them seem to work well together! The first kiss of Lavender and Ron was witnessed by both Harry and Hermione. Harry watches with a stupid boyish grin and Hermione faces slowly turns from a smile to looking utterly heartbroken. She quietly turns away to leave, and just as she leaves Harry turns and notices. She is far less angry than she is just heartbroken. She does send the birds she conjures at Ron but she is not so much furious as she is crushed and hurt[/indent] |

[*]A test screening viewer briefly describes this scene: |

Rachel: But there’s no non-verbal spells or anything. So ... |

[*]The scene involving Hermione shooting Ron with birds is confirmed in from the [url=http://www.mugglenet.com/app/news/full_story/1813]EW set report[/url]. The birds will replace the ‘wind’ in post-production. It should be noted that test screenings confirmed the spell was [i]Opungo[/i]. |
|||
Rachel: Well they use them, but never talk about them. (laughs) |
|||
[indent]In this scene, Harry tries to console his friend but the job becomes infinitely harder when Ron and Lavender come bumbling into this dark corner of Hogwarts looking for a place to snog. Hermione shoos them away with a magical gust of wind, then weeps harder[/indent] |

[*]Hermione will mention that she can tell Harry likes Ginny |
|||
Scott: (laughs) Yeah, true. |
|||
[indent]Hermione mentions it to Harry when he's comforting her after she sends the birds after Ron in the empty classroom - she asks him if it hurts him to see Ginny with Dean as badly as it hurts her to see Ron with Lavender... she says she's "seen the way he (Harry) looks at her (Ginny)" and knows he loves her...[/indent][/list][/expand] |

Scott: Yeah |

Rachel: In fact – in fact it was used a lot during the movie and I couldn’t actually tell if anything was going to be added later. ‘Cause it seems like there were – there were times that – that there should have been words, like … I – I thought it – And they just didn’t use them at all. But um, and there’s a lot of epic – then again through out the movies there’s always been, like, spouts of magic without wands and weird things like that (laughs) |

Scott: … confusing to the audience if they introduced them now. |

[fieldset=PrinceWatch episode 3][b]Meesha:[/b]But he’s sitting on his bed, in his pyjamas. Do you know what was going on there? ‘Cause he – he looks upset… |

[b]Rachel:[/b] I’m trying to find this picture really quick – it’s still loading – I’m sure where this picture is actually. I’m not sure – it probably -… probably was – he was upset that he wasn’t in the Slug Club, so – |

Rachel: Well, for the movie … |
|||
[b]Meesha:[/b] Ah. Ok. |
|||
Vince: Why do they go to school? |

[b]Rachel:[/b] – so I’m sure that’s probably what it’s about. |

Rachel: To entertain us? |

[b]Meesha:[/b] That makes sense. |

Vince: But they don’t learn anything, I don’t think. They already know everything … |

[b]Vince:[/b] Oh, Poor Neville. Oh, Poor Neville. |
|||
Rachel: (laughs) Right |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] Yeah. So without seeing it, that’s probably what it – that would be my guess ‘cause – he does talk about it with Harry later, like, and that’s why he becomes a steward at the party, instead of – a server, what ever it is, at the party. And he serves, like, food (laughs)[/fieldset] |

[*]Mugglenet confirms the inclusion of Slughorn's Christmas Party: |
|||
Meesha: Yeah |
|||
[indent]Our friends at DanRadcliffe.com have a new set report online from a Chilean magazine called Wiken. In it, they talk with Dan Radcliffe and speak about several different aspects of Leavesden Studios (where all the Potter films are shot). Of interest to those clamouring for new Half-Blood Prince news, they talk about Horace Slughorn's Christmas party: [indent]Wikén witnessed a scene during a filming day. In it, the new Potions Master of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Horace Slughorn (played by the British actor Jim Broadbent, known by supporting roles in classic movies such as "Brazil and "Richard the Third"), celebrates a Christmas party in his room for a selected group of students. Slughorn walks from one group to another chatting with his guests, trying to gain his favourite students' favour.[/indent][/indent] |
|||
[*]A picture of Draco brooding had been released, said to be Malfoy watching the party attendees arriving: [IMG]http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll156/Arry3G/listpics/BroodingMalfoy.jpg[/IMG] |

Scott: – you know, the Charms class and all those, but … |

Vince: Flitwick – well Flitwick’s like a chore – choir conductor … |

|||
Scott: And there’s – and there’s another – there’s also a scene in Transfiguration in this – this book that was a little more in depth that could have been in the movie. They – they could have had more than just the one potions class. And there were multiple potions classes in the book as well. |
|||
Rachel: Right |
|||
[*]It’s been mentioned in the Leaky Cauldron Set Report Teaser that Luna will wear a Xmas tree dress: |
|||
Scott: For instance, the one with the bezoar … |
|||
[indent]We saw Luna’s Christmas tree dress[/indent] |
|||
[*]Luna’s comments at the party have been cut: |
|||
Meesha: It would have been cool if they just had, even just – just one class for the different – for the different subjects ‘cause there was something that happened in a lot of them. I mean – |
|||
[indent]Oh and most sadly of all, no description from Luna about the dangers of the Rotfang Conspiracy.[/indent] |
|||
[*]A picture of Luna at the party in her dress, next to Sanguini and another of Slughorn’s guests: |
|||
Scott: Yeah. |

Meesha: – the – the Herbology thing with Ron and Hermione and – |
|||
[*]Neville is in attendance at Slughorn's Christmas Party according to a test screening viewer: |
|||
Scott: Well – |
|||
[indent]Neville is at the Christmas party, where he's serving champagne in a waiter's uniform and he tells Harry, 'I didn't get in to the Slug Club...'[/indent] |
|||
[*]Test screening viewers also talk of McClaggen at the party: |
|||
Vince: That could be moved. |
|||
[indent]There's a snippet at the end of the dinner party scene where he's looking at Hermione and licking his finger and... oh my gosh, I died. He's a big part of why the movie tickled me.[/indent] |
|||
[*]Also described is a scene between Harry and Hermione about McClaggen [indent]She and Harry are hiding behind a curtain and a waiter comes and offers 'Dragon Tartar' - they both say no, and the waiter says something like, 'Probably for the best - it gives you really bad breath,' and Hermione says, 'On second thought, maybe I will...' and stuffs a few in her mouth...[/indent] |
|||
Meesha: Well yeah. Easily move, but that could – but they would add to the – school – feeling of being at school. |
|||
[*]A test screening attendee has given extensive details about Slughorn's Christmas Party: |
|||
Vince: Yeah. |
|||
[INDENT]Harry attends with Luna (who is dressed in a peculiar silver dress that got lots of laughs from the audience), and Hermione goes with Cormac. Harry finds Hermione hiding from him behind a curtain looking disheveled because he tried to corner her under the mistletoe (her lines are straight from the book, word for word). As I know there are many here who care about such details, she is wearing a rather low cut dress that shows she is not such a little girl anymore. Harry then pulls her behind another curtain when she spots Cormac approaching and she makes a quick getaway and Harry is left trapped with Cormac behind the curtain. They discuss Hermione (I don’t remember details). Cormac is just about to leave in search of Hermione when Snape sharply pulls the curtain aside, apparently with the belief he has just caught students making out or something, because he seams shocked to see Harry and Cormac (who is on his way out). Before Snape can say something more, Filch comes through the door dragging Draco with him. Just as in the books he admits he is, what’s the words? Gape-crashing? And Slughorn like in the books forgives him. Meanwhile both Harry and Snape are watching this (Snape’s face is unfathomable as usual but his body language suggests interest or concern, Harry is standing slightly behind Snape). [/INDENT] |
|||
[*]A picture of Slughorn with an unknown guest, looking to be disturbed by Filch and Draco’s arrival, had emerged: |
|||
Scott: Yeah. |
|||
[IMG]http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll156/Arry3G/listpics/desk12al6.jpg[/IMG] |
|||
Vince: They have to be at school. |
|||
[*]A picture of Filch bringing in Draco was leaked: |
|||
Scott: Doesn’t seem like they’re at school if there is no classes and they aren’t learning, it’s just … |
|||
[IMG]http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll156/Arry3G/listpics/edp-promo-oclumencia-5.jpg[/IMG] |
|||
Vince: Exactly. |
|||
[*]A description of Draco and Snape’s discussion came from a test screening viewer: |
|||
Meesha: Exactly. They can move all that stuff to other scenes, but I mean, it would be nice seeing them in classes. |
|||
[indent]The next scene is Draco and Snape in a corridor trying to convince Draco to accept his help and Draco repeatedly refuses (I know there was more to this, though not much, but I just can’t recall exactly what it was). The screen starts to pan towards the right, still keeping Draco and Snape in view, but revealing Harry standing with in a parallel corridor or classroom perhaps, standing stock still listening closely. Harry overhears Draco and Snape fighting, though not in his invisibility cloak. And what Snape says is slightly different and in the book what he says does not happen in the movie (stuff about helpers and Crabbe and Goyle). But I really don't remember what he says exactly.[/indent] |
|||
[*]A montage of pictures from this scene came from a calendar: |
|||
Rachel: And they did move a lot of it to other scenes, but like – like – they moved some of it to other scenes – but like, yeah – I agree, I like the classes, but they didn’t seem to want to hire a lot of actors for this one (laughs) |

[expand=16. A Very Frosty Christmas][list][*]A test screening viewer has informed us that there was a scene of the Hogwarts Express, as the students are going home for Christmas: |
|||
[INDENT]Now, the next scene is another I described, with Harry and Ron on the Hogwarts Express going to the burrow for Christmas. I actually think they were discussing unbreakable vows but I am not really sure because that is when Lavender turns up outside the compartment steaming up the window with her breath and writing with her finger on the glass making a heart with R+L and then steaming it up again to make it show up better. Then she mouths to Ron “I really miss you” or something and leaves[/INDENT] |
|||
[*]A shot from the third trailer, released November, shows the Hogwarts Express leaving in Winter: |
|||
Scott: Ok, then the last chapter we’re going to discuss this week is chapter 9, The Half-Blood Prince. This is quite a long chapter, it seems. |
|||
[IMG]http://i377.photobucket.com/albums/oo211/hbplist/ch16/sc23.jpg[/IMG] |
|||
So, first we have a scene where McGonagall hands out course schedules and Harry decides to continue potions. There’s a quote: |
|||
A source from the set today revealed to me that the scene being shot was Professor McGonagall telling Ron and Harry that they can take Potions for their NEWTs. This scene involved 200 extras, ranging from First Years to Seventh Years. |
|||
[*]A test screening viewer describes the first scene at the Burrow during Christmas: |
|||
There’s then a shot from the teaser trailer with McGonagall and all the students in a corridor, which probably is part of the above – that shoot that was mentioned – |
|||
[INDENT]But I am guessing they were discussing unbreakable vows because in the next scene at the Burrow Harry is talking to Lupin and Tonks and I think Arthur, I think about what he saw heard Draco and Snape discussing, but the audience was still going from the previous scene with Lavender. The first lines I caught was Lupin saying, “It all comes down to whether you trust Dumbledore. I do, therefore I trust Severus.”[/INDENT] |
|||
[*]Two pictures of Harry, Ginny, and Ron (one with and one w/o director David Yates) celebrating Christmas at the Burrow have been released: |
|||
Rachel: It is. |
|||

|||
[*]Test screening viewers describe the above scene |
|||
[indent]It's a really cute scene at Christmas at the Burrow... Ginny comes and sits down next to Harry and is feeding him and they're kind of sharing a "moment" and then Ron comes in with a huge plate full of pies and really obliviously sits down between them - like, squeezes in between them, because there's not much room - and offers Harry a pie.[/indent] |
|||
This is the first day of classes. McGonagall spots Harry and Ron along the wall, just chilling, acting like teenage boys, and calls to Harry and asks him what he is doing. He tells her he and Ron have a free period. And she asks him why he isn't in potions. She goes through the same explanation as in the book about how he can take potions now that Snape is not teaching it. Then she says something funny, like "go take Mr. Weasley with you, he is enjoying himself a little too much over there." |
|||
[*]Natalia Tena, who portrays Tonks, [url=”http://www.the-leaky-cauldron.org/2008/5/5/natalia-tena-talks-tonks-in-half-blood-prince”]has mentioned[/url] that her characters role has been reduced to ONE scene (Xmas at the Burrow) and that Lupin and her are already a couple when they arrive at the Burrow. |
|||
Vince: I love that. |
|||
[*]A test screening viewer talks about Tonks and Lupin’s roles in the film |
|||
Scott: – with major paraphrasing. |
|||
[indent]Tonks has only a couple of lines. There is no explanation as to her change in hair. Lupin does not talk about Greyback.[/indent] |
|||
[*]A picture of Tonks and Lupin talking (with Harry and Arthur) at the burrow emerged: |
|||
Rachel: It was really funny. That was actually me who wrote that, but – |
|||

|||
[*]Two pictures from this scene came from a calendar: |
|||
Scott: Oh, and then another question that crops up related to that I just thought of is er, was there anything about the OWLs or the grades they got or Harry’s ambitions to be an Auror? |
|||

|||
Rachel: No. No, In fact that was the only mention of the OWLs what so ever that – I was almost surprised they talked about them but didn’t talk about them. (laughs) |
|||
[*]The script of this scene has emerged: |
|||
Scott: ‘Cause I thought they would use the scene when I had heard about it too, just briefly go over how he had ambitions to be an Auror, and the grades he got on his OWLs |
|||
[fieldset=HBP Script] 77 INT. MR. WEASLEY'S WORKSHOP - MOMENTS LATER - NIGHT |
|||
Harry trails Mr. Weasley through his cluttered workshop, which is chock-a-block with MUGGLE OBJECTS: Steam irons. Toasters. Clock radios. Plugs. Lots of plugs. The PARTY can still be heard, drifting faintly from the main house. |
|||
Meesha: I’m surprised they didn’t include that. |
|||
MR. WEASLEY |
|||
Scott: Yeah |
|||
You'll have to forgive Remus. It takes its toll--his condition. |
|||
HARRY |
|||
Meesha: I do like that line from McGonagall though - That is just such a McGonagall thing to say. (laughs) |
|||
(studying him) |
|||
Are you alright, Mr. Weasley? |
|||
Arthur tries to smile, but it fades. He frowns, pained. |
|||
Rachel: Yeah. |
|||
MR. WEASLEY |
|||
Scott: I guess this is just something though – |
|||
We're being followed, all of us. Molly doesn't leave the house most days. It's not been easy |
|||
HARRY |
|||
Rachel: … |
|||
(a nod, then) |
|||
Did you get my owl? |
|||
MR. WEASLEY |
|||
Scott: – just another thing they’ll be missing from the movies that only us fans know… |
|||
Yes, but I thought it best if I replied in person. If Dumbledore's traveling, it's news to the Ministry. But perhaps that's the way Dumbledore wants it. As for Draco Malfoy--I know a bit more. |
|||
HARRY |
|||
Meesha: I can hear Maggie Smith…Yeah. |
|||
Go on. |
|||
MR. WEASLEY |
|||
Rachel: Well, she’s one of the few characters who – in my head when reading the stories – I actually picture – I picture her. |
|||
I sent an agent to Borgin & Burkes. From what you describe, I think what you and Ron saw at the end of summer--the object that Draco seemed so interested in--was a Vanishing Cabinet. |
|||
HARRY |
|||
Meesha: Oh, yeah. |
|||
A Vanishing Cabinet? |
|||
MR. WEASLEY |
|||
Rachel: You know what I mean? And all of them I picture someone slightly different, but not her (laughs) |
|||
They were all the rage when Voldemort first rose to power. You can imagine the appeal. Should the Death Eaters come calling, one needed only slip inside and disappear for an hour or two. But they're tricky contraptions. Require a tremendous amount of looking after. Eventually they fell out of favor. |
|||
HARRY |
|||
Meesha: Yeah |
|||
What happened to it? The one at Borgin & Burkes? |
|||
MR. WEASLEY |
|||
Scott: Alright, moving on., uh … There was also a small special on Half-Blood Prince from an E! Entertainment show Daily 10. It showed the filming of a scene with Harry and Ron in a corridor as they are walking away after this um, scene we just talked about, and Ron says “But I don’t want to take potions”. And a picture of this scene has emerged – a small picture of them. In their actual school uniforms, walking … |
|||
Nothing. It's still there. |
|||
Harry nods, pondering this. |
|||
Aaron: For once … |
|||
MR. WEASLEY (CONT'D) |
|||
Harry. You know, I went through all this before--the last time around. Times like these--dark times--do funny things to people. It can bring them together and it can tear them apart. Things...speed up. It's what happens when you don't know if today will be your last.[/fieldset] |

[*]Rachezee discussed this scene in the garage during [url=http://princewatch.mypodcast.com/2008/09/Episode_3_The_Birds_the_Wizard_and_the_Vanishing_Cabinet_Rachezee_Speaks_Part_1_of_a_Princewatch_Exclusive_Interview-145452.html]her appearance on PrinceWatch[/url]:[expand=PrinceWatch Transcript][fieldset=PrinceWatch episode 3] [b]Scott:[/b] Yeah, the one other interesting one was this one here with Arthur and Harry – and it’s an added scene to the movie, right, in the workshop? And we had the script for that scene… |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] Oh, yeah, yeah! |
|||
[b]Scott:[/b] What did you think of that scene? |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] … It was an interesting, I mean, that was where they – did – they changed it with – in that scene they’re talking about how Arthur checks – checks to see what – what Draco was doing in the… |
|||
[b]Scott:[/b] Right. |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] I think in Borgin in Burkes or something. It had to do with – And he tells Harry that they were – he was looking at a cabinet and then Harry said ‘What, did he take the cabinet with him?’, or something, and then Arthur says ‘No. It’s still there.’ – |
|||
[b]Scott:[/b] Hm. |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] – and they seem puzzled by the whole idea – they can’t figure it out. But the scene is kinda cool ‘cause it – they actually pan his – his workshop – his garage of Muggle – Muggle stuff and it’s actually kinda funny – it – it has – there’s a lot of detail – there’s a lot – I mean that could have been the Room of Requirement, you know with all the junk – it was like that kinda – you know, clutter and it’s just filled with Muggle stuff and – and being obviously tampered with in someway or another, so… |
|||
[b]Scott:[/b] Right. |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] It’s a good scene. It’s a good shot. It was fun to see that – it’s a detail you never see in the book, but – but it – you know, that it was always implied, so (laughs)[/fieldset][/expand] |
|||
[*]There will be a scene in the Burrow which involves an untied shoelace, source, USA Today: |
|||
[indent]Ginny notices Harry’s shoe is untied, simply says “Shoelace” and reaches over and ties it. “Then it changes from that kind of maternal looking after him to something more heightened and sexual,” Yates said.[/indent] |
|||
[*]Test screening viewers talk about a H/G moment straight after the ‘shoelace scene’ |
|||
[indent]They almost kissed once but death eaters prevented that. It was just at the end of the night and she must have taken a shower.[/indent] |

84 EXT. REEDS (SURROUNDING BURROW) - MOMENTS LATER - NIGHT |

Harry careens through the marsh, reeds flashing past, |
|||
[IMG]http://i377.photobucket.com/albums/oo211/hbplist/ch16/30.jpg[/IMG] |
|||
then spies Bellatrix. She GRINS, looking like a crazed wood nymph, then flits off, her LAUGHTER mocking him. As he pursues, FIRE SNAKES through the reeds toward him. |
|||
NEW ANGLE |
|||
Fred, George, Ron and Arthur fan out, running full-out, their feet kicking up SPARKS as SHADOWS splinter throughout the reeds. It's like chasing ghosts. |
|||
NEW ANGLE(S) |
|||
Ginny, copper hair gleaming, races through the reeds. |
|||
Bellatrix leads Harry on, grinning madly. |
|||
Ginny comes dashing to a halt, chest heaving as she peers into the smoking marsh. A HUGE FIGURE QUIVERS through a veil of smoke. Ginny's eyes SHIFT, see Bellatrix racing forward through the reeds, then SHIFT back as the veil of smoke evaporates, reveals...Greyback. |
|||
[IMG]http://i377.photobucket.com/albums/oo211/hbplist/ch16/52.jpg[/IMG] |
|||
Bellatrix makes an ODD, CLICKING noise--like a signal--and Greyback edges forward, sweeping away the reeds in front of him and revealing... |
|||
...Harry as he pelts forward. |
|||
GINNY |
|||
No, Harry! It's a trap! |
|||
Harry falters, looking toward Ginny's voice and spies Greyback. Bellatrix stops dead, wheels in her tracks and, seeing Ginny, SHRIEKS with RAGE. Raising her wand, she fires a BOLT of RED LIGHT which explodes in a SHOWER of SPARKS around Ginny. |
|||
[img]http://i377.photobucket.com/albums/oo211/hbplist/ch16/35.jpg[/img] |
|||
Ginny fires back, then wheels away, flashing through the reeds coming face to face with... |
|||
Greyback, sharp teeth glittering. |
|||
GREYBACK |
|||
Don't you smell clean. |
|||
Just then, a BOLT OF BLUE bursts off Greyback's back and he turns, sees Harry standing several yards off. As Greyback gives chase, Ginny pelts after and we CUT back and forth between Harry, Ginny and the beast between them, faster and faster, their BREATHS shortening until... |
|||
[IMG]http://i377.photobucket.com/albums/oo211/hbplist/ch16/normal_hbp_promo_trailer2_043.jpg[/IMG] |
|||
Greyback rushes into a clearing, panting, glancing about. |
|||
Just then, TWIN BOLTS of light blast from opposite sides of the clearing and Greyback is lifted in the air, slammed to the ground. As he regains his feet he looks into the reeds and sees Harry and Ginny, wands poised. He grins...when Bellatrix's odd, CLICKING signal carries through the night once again. Turning away, he exits. |
|||
Harry and Ginny slowly step out of the reeds, stare at each other wordlessly. Then...Ron, Fred, George, Arthur and Lupin come thrashing into the clearing, stop. All around them, the reeds SMOKE, the flames dying. Across the marsh, Bellatrix's cackle rises briefly on the air--then all is quiet. |

87 INT. SLUGHORN'S OFFICE/YEARS PAST - NIGHT |
|||
We emerge from the CRACKLING EMBERS of a FIREPLACE. A much |
|||
younger--and more smartly dressed--Slughorn probes a dish |
|||
of CRYSTALLIZED PINEAPPLE as he holds court before 16-YEAR- |
|||
OLD TOM RIDDLE and five other BOYS. The CRYSTAL HOURGLASS |
|||
sits on a side table. |
|||
TOM RIDDLE |
|||
Sir, is it true that Professor Merrythought is retiring? |
|||
Slughorn chuckles, wags a sugar-encrusted finger at Riddle. |
|||
SLUGHORN |
|||
Now, Tom, I couldn't tell you if |
|||
I knew, could I? I must say, |
|||
m'boy, I'd like to know where you |
|||
get your information. More |
|||
knowledgeable than half the staff, |
|||
you are. |
|||
(as the other boys laugh) |
|||
By the way, thank you for the |
|||
pineapple--you're quite right, it |
|||
is my favourite--how is it you |
|||
knew? |
|||
TOM RIDDLE |
|||
Intuition. |
|||
Riddle smiles but his expression suggests intuition had |
|||
nothing to do with it. Slughorn chuckles uneasily. |
|||
SLUGHORN |
|||
Good gracious, look at the time. |
|||
Off you go, boys, or Professor |
|||
Dippett will have us all in |
|||
detention. Lestrange, Avery, |
|||
don't forget your essays... |
|||
As the others file out, Slughorn busies himself with some |
|||
papers when--Ping!--he turns, finds Riddle still there, |
|||
standing by the crystal hourglass. |
|||
SLUGHORN |
|||
Look sharp, Tom. You don't want |
|||
to be caught out of bed after |
|||
hours... |
|||
TOM RIDDLE |

I know a secret shortcut or two. |

SLUGHORN |

Yes, I imagine you do. Something |

on your mind, Tom? |

TOM RIDDLE |

Yes sir. I couldn't think of |

anyone else to go to. The other |
|||
Professors, well, they're not |

like you. They |

might...misunderstand. |

SLUGHORN |

Go on. |

Riddle slips off the RING on his left hand, begins to roll |

it between his fingers. It is set with a BLACK STONE. |

TOM RIDDLE |

I was in the library the other |

|||
[img]http://i377.photobucket.com/albums/oo211/hbplist/ch18/18ron.jpg[/img] |
|||
[*]A description of this scene surfaced after the test screening |
|||
[indent]The scene opens with Ron staring lovingly at the moon from the boys' dormitory window (lol). Harry comes into the room and Ron tells Harry that he's in love. Harry sits on his bed and Ron climbs on right next to him (more lol) and the dialogue follows about the same from the book if I remember correctly. Harry says, "I thought you were getting tired of her" or something and Ron gets offended, Harry gets confused, thinks they're talking about Lavender but Ron says he's talking about Romilda Vane and asks to be introduced. Harry asks if Ron's eaten something, Harry sees the empty wrappers and box and puts two and two together and gets him to Slughorn's office. Harry asks Slughorn for the antidote, Slughorn lets them in, and he concocts the potion. At one point Ron comes from behind Slughorn and hugs him and so Harry sets him down on the couch (scene is shot with Harry and Slughorn in front, couch behind). Slughorn wonders why Harry couldn't just perform the potion himself but Harry says it's particularly strong and Slughorn agrees. Ron is acting goofy in the back, at one point he sits on the back seating of the couch and falls off! After they get Ron right, Slughorn pulls out a flasks, pours glasses, and they toast to their health. Ron of course slurps his down before the others and he immediately collapses. He starts going a bit gray, convulsing, foaming at the mouth a bit; Harry freaks out, tells Ron to breathe, yells at Slughorn to do something, Slughorn is too stunned to move so Harry hurries through his potion supplies, pulls out a bezoar and pops it into his mouth.[/indent] |
|||
[*]Another attendee describes the emotions of the scene |
|||
[indent]it went from funny to scary very quickly. You're right that Rupert is AWESOME as "lovestruck Ron"... and then after the bezoar sits up and says, 'They're going to kill me!' before dropping back down on the floor again... a little comic relief in the midst of a very tense moment.[/indent][/list][/expand] |
|||
[expand=19. Elf Tails][LIST][*]The initial test screening attendee continues… |
|||
[indent]I forget the transitioning but we find Harry, Slughorn, Ginny, Hermione, and Ron at the infirmary wing. Everyone was definitely laughing at Ron. He was hilarious under the love potion, very sensitive, very touchy to those near him! Everyone surrounds Ron's bed in the Hospital Wing, Hermione and Ginny either side of him. Dumbledore, McGonagall and Snape walk in, shortly followed by Lavender who basically starts arguing with Hermione as to why she's there. Then Lavender goes over to Ron and grabs his hand, at which point Ron mutters Hermione's name. Lavender runs off in a strop. Dumbledore says something along the lines of "Ah, the pangs of teenage romance", to which McGonagall gives a look and Snape rolls his eyes. Then I think after a little talking, with Slughorn telling Dumbledore it was the meade that poisoned Ron and that it was actually meant for Dumbledore himself, they all leave, but Harry turns at the door to see Hermione holding a still-unconcious Ron's hand. Hermione says something like "Oh, shut up" and Harry leaves. |
|||
The next day they're sitting at breakfast, and Ron asks Hermione something about, "HOW, again, did that happen? She seems really angry at me!" and then we see Lavender glaring at Ron from across the room and Hermione smirks a little and changes the subject.. [/indent] |

|||
[indent]Throughout the movie we keep seeing Draco going to a cage full of birds, like the one he has in his hand. He would would take one and then go off to the RoR. Later in the movie, I believe just before the Sectum Sempra Scene, we see him put one of the birds into the Vanishing Cabinet looking hopeful and closes it. When he opens it, the bird is dead. |
|||
Though we, as the audience are not really supposed to know what Draco is doing, his reaction to the bird being dead makes it obvious that whatever he is trying to do with that cabinet is not working. He is so upset that he ends up in the bathroom crying. And the Sectum Sempra scene takes place.[/indent] |

Meesha: Yeah. |
|||
[indent]We see the greenhouses, but not in a lesson (Harry on Felix finds Slughorn there, but no Sprout in the movie |
|||
Yes Aragog is on the screen for about 3 minutes, but he is dead. I think it would be quite easy for you to have your friend close his eyes during that moment. Slughorn says the same words over his body that he does in the book. Word for word (I am wondering if it is sort of sad that I know that...). That is how long Aragog is on screen. |
|||
Rachel: – Neville’s experiences in potions. |
|||
We do get to hear Hagrid and Slughorn singing about Odo the Hero, and Harry is funny and a few lines where true to the book while under the influence of Felix Felicis. |
|||
Scott: Oh and we can see Dean Thomas … |
|||
You know, I can't remember the details of what Harry said to get the memory, but I know they most definitely deviated from canon, which had surprised me at the time because up until then, the scene was very close to canon. Actually I am starting to remember, but before getting upset please remember that I am not remembering it all, and the accuracy is questionable. But the gist of it is Slughorn drunkenly starts to tell Harry about this fish he had that he loved and was so beautiful, but died. Towards the end of the story he reveals that the fish was given to him by Lily and just disappeared the day she died. Harry uses this story to persuade him to give up the memory. Frankly I thought it was rather lame. But then, I believe that what happened in the book should have been there instead, so I wasn't listening to the story with a very open mind either.[/indent] |

Meesha: And Lavender…Is that Pansy Parkinson there at the edge of the picture? |
|||
[*]A trailer screenshot and a promotional picture show Slughorn extracting his memory: |

Rachel: I think actually it is. I’m not – I can’t tell … |

|||
How is he? Horace? |
|||
Harry shrugs. Dumbledore nods, then tips his hand. A LONG strand hangs suspended like glass. A pearl forms...and as it hangs...Harry's eyes shift, notice a DRAWING on Dumbledore's desk, one of Tom Riddle's drawings seen at the orphanage, of the CAVE and the distinct OUTCROPPING. Then...the pearl drops. |
|||
Meesha: I can see green on the robes, so (it’s Slytherin … ) |

116 INT. SLUGHORN'S OFFICE/YEARS PAST - NIGHT |
|||
Scott: Question we had: Where is Harry and Ron? |
|||
As before. The CRACKLING EMBERS of the FIRE. Slughorn, a circle of six. Riddle commanding the room. |
|||
Rachel: Um, they’re – er … |
|||
TOM RIDDLE |
|||
Scott: Not seen in this picture? |
|||
Sir, is it true that Professor Merrythought is retiring? |
|||
Slughorn chuckles, wags a sugar-encrusted finger at Riddle. |
|||
Rachel: Well, I can’t tell who’s right behind Slughorn? Oh, that’s (Blaise) |
|||
SLUGHORN |
|||
Scott: That’s Dean Thomas. |
|||
Now, Tom, I couldn't tell you if I knew, could I? I must say, m'boy, I'd like to know where you get your information. More knowledgeable than half the staff, you are. |
|||
(as the other boys laugh) |
|||
By the way, thank you for the pineapple--you're quite right, it is my favourite--how is it you knew? |
|||
TOM RIDDLE |
|||
Rachel: Oh, Dean Thomas. |
|||
Intuition. |
|||
Riddle smiles but his expression suggests intuition had nothing to do with it. Slughorn chuckles uneasily. |
|||
Scott: Oh, oh, I see. Next to them maybe … |
|||
SLUGHORN |
|||
Rachel: They’re there though … Blaise has a really sexy voice, um (laughs) but, um … |
|||
Good gracious, look at the time. Off you go, boys, or Professor Dippett will have us all in |
|||
detention. Lestrange, Avery, don't forget your essays... |
|||
As the others file out, Slughorn busies himself with some papers when--Ping!--he turns, finds Riddle still there, standing by the crystal hourglass. |
|||
Scott: But Harry and Ron are in this scene? |
|||
SLUGHORN |
|||
Rachel: I’m sorry? |
|||
Look sharp, Tom. You don't want to be caught out of bed after hours... |
|||
TOM RIDDLE |
|||
Scott: Harry and Ron are in the potions class scene? |
|||
I know a secret shortcut or two. |
|||
SLUGHORN |
|||
Rachel: Oh, they’re there, they – yeah – and I think you have a description of it somewhere here (laughs) which is what I said (laughs) |
|||
Yes, I imagine you do. Something on your mind, Tom? |
|||
TOM RIDDLE |
|||
Scott: And they’re all standing in front of – |
|||
Yes sir. I couldn't think of anyone else to go to. The other Professors, well, they're not |
|||
like you. They might...misunderstand. |
|||
SLUGHORN |
|||
Vince: What is she saying right now? |
|||
Go on. |
|||
Riddle slips off the RING on his left hand, begins to roll it between his fingers. It is set with a BLACK STONE. |
|||
Scott: – cauldrons and Bunsen burners, which is quite odd. |
|||
TOM RIDDLE |
|||
Rachel: … (laughs) oh,well. |
|||
I was in the library the other night, in the Restricted section, and I read something rather odd, about a bit of rare magic, and I thought perhaps you could illuminate me. It's called, as I understand it...a Horcrux. |
|||
Slughorn's weak smile evaporates altogether. |
|||
Scott: And Slughorn, once again, he’s dressed like a – |
|||
SLUGHORN |
|||
Vince: College professor – |
|||
Excuse me? |
|||
TOM RIDDLE |
|||
Scott: – college graduate. |
|||
Horcrux. I came across the term while reading and I didn't fully understand it. |
|||
SLUGHORN |
|||
Rachel: Isn’t that typical in Britian, though? |
|||
I'm not sure what you were reading, Tom, but that's very Dark stuff, very Dark indeed. |
|||
TOM RIDDLE |
|||
Meesha: Yeah. |
|||
Yes sir. Which is why I came to you. I mean no disrespect to the rest of the staff, but I thought if anyone could tell me...it would be you. |
|||
Slughorn frowns, clearly disturbed, then speaks quietly. |
|||
Rachel: That’s what I heard … |
|||
SLUGHORN |
|||
Meesha: Yeah, the British teachers wear those little hats … |
|||
A horcrux is an object in which a person has concealed part of their soul. |
|||
TOM RIDDLE |
|||
Vince: Yeah, but this is a wizards’ school. |
|||
Yes, I thought it might be something like that. But I don't understand how that works, sir. |
|||
SLUGHORN |
|||
Meesha: It’s a British wizards’ school. |
|||
One splits one's soul and hides part of it in an object. By doing so, you are protected should you be attacked and your body destroyed. |
|||
TOM RIDDLE |
|||
Vince: Yeah, I suppose…What is she saying here is this scene, do you know? Hermione, what is she… |
|||
Protected? |
|||
SLUGHORN |
|||
Rachel: I think here’s where she’s probably – she’s probably describing what is it, the Amortentia? With the – |
|||
That part of your soul that was hidden, lives on. In other words, you cannot die. |
|||
Riddle nods and TURNS AWAY, staring at himself in the MIRROR on the wall opposite. A hint of RED glints in his eyes. |
|||
Vince: The love potion – |
|||
TOM RIDDLE |
|||
Rachel: – love potion, yeah. |
|||
How does one split his soul, sir? |
|||
SLUGHORN |
|||
Meesha: Amortentia? |
|||
I think you can guess the answer to that, Tom. |
|||
TOM RIDDLE |
|||
Rachel: Yeah. |
|||
Murder. |
|||
SLUGHORN |
|||
Meesha: A – Am – Am – Amortentia? I’m not sure how that … |
|||
Yes. Killing rips the soul apart. It is a violation against nature. After, one is never the same. |
|||
TOM RIDDLE |
|||
Rachel: According to Jim Dale, it’s Amortentia. (laughs) |
|||
Out of curiosity, sir--can you only split your soul once? For instance, isn't seven the most |
|||
powerfully magical number-- |
|||
SLUGHORN |
|||
Meesha: Amortentia? Ok. |
|||
Seven! Merlin's beard, Tom! Isn't it bad enough to think of killing one person? To rip the soul into seven pieces... |
|||
(stopping; worried) |
|||
This is all hypothetical, isn't it, Tom? All academic... |
|||
TOM RIDDLE |
|||
Scott: I thought it was Amortentia. I don’t know. (laughs) But then we got – |
|||
Of course, sir. And I promise I'll not speak of our conversation. It'll be our little |
|||
secret... |
|||
Riddle reaches out then and pinches the FLAME of a candle, killing it. As SMOKE RISES, we DISSOLVE into... |
|||
Meesha: I guess until I see the movie, so (laughs) ... |
|||
117 INT. DUMBLEDORE'S OFFICE - SAME TIME - NIGHT |
|||
Rachel: It’s one of the bonuses of listening to the audio. I usually know the pronunciations of some of the names that don’t actually know like, you know - what they look like. |
|||
...the surface of the Pensieve, where Riddle quivers. We RACK FOCUS and Dumbledore's troubled face bleeds through Riddle's. |
|||
Vince: I stick to – with ‘The Love Potion’ |
|||
HARRY |
|||
Meesha: Love potion number nine. |
|||
Sir-- |
|||
Dumbledore holds up his withered hand, silencing him, turns away. Harry studies him, waiting, the hush palpable. |
|||
Scott: Yeah, we’ve got Hermione describing the love potion – I’m not even going to try to say it (laughs) – as in the book and reference a Ron/Hermione scene from earlier – a little excerpt: |
|||
When Hermione is around the Amortentia, the last thing she trails off with is that she can smell spearmint toothpaste. |
|||
DUMBLEDORE |
|||
Rachel: (laughs) That was a great moment. |
|||
(haunted) |
|||
[b][i]This is beyond anything I imagined.[/i][/b] In my life I have seen things that are unimaginably |
|||
horrific. I know now...you will see worse. |
|||
Dumbledore looks off, his eyes distant. Harry watches him intently, as do the HEADMASTERS in their frames above. Finally, tentatively, Harry speaks. |
|||
Meesha: Aww … |
|||
HARRY |
|||
Rachel: It really was. I thought that was a really good addition. That was a perfect way of tying in, like, you know – |
|||
Do you mean to say he succeeded, sir? In making a Horcrux? |
|||
DUMBLEDORE |
|||
Meesha: Yeah. |
|||
Oh he succeeded. And not just once. Think, Harry. He's just told us. |
|||
HARRY |
|||
Rachel: – her love of Ron, ‘cause it wasn’t always that obvious. You know what I mean (laughs) |
|||
Seven. He made seven--the most powerfully magical number. But...what are they exactly? |
|||
DUMBLEDORE |
|||
Meesha: Did Ron have any reaction to that, or – when she said that, or – |
|||
They can be anything. The most commonplace of objects. A ring, for example. Or a book... |
|||
Dumbledore slides open a drawer, removes the RING and Tom |
|||
Rachel: I don’t think we notic– I don’t think they showed it. But um, I – I highly doubt he would have noticed, anyway (laughs) I didn’t notice that at all. Um. But it was a – they mostly focussed on her – |

Riddle's battered DIARY.[/fieldset][*]A calendar picture of Dumbledore, the ring and the diary emerged |

[expand=Calendar picture][img]http://i377.photobucket.com/albums/oo211/hbplist/ch23/nonpromopsm100.jpg[/img][/expand][fieldset=]HARRY |
|||
Tom Riddle's diary-- |
|||
DUMBLEDORE |
|||
Meesha: Yeah. |
|||
It's a Horcrux, yes. Four years ago, when you saved Ginny Weasley's life in the Chamber of Secrets, when you brought me this-- |
|||
(holding up the diary) |
|||
I knew. [i][b]This is a different kind of magic. Very dark. Very powerful.[/b][/i] But until tonight I had no idea just how powerful... |
|||
HARRY |
|||
Rachel: – ‘cause it was obvious that she was embarrassed by what she was saying (laughs). |
|||
And the ring...? |
|||
DUMBLEDORE |
|||
Meesha: Right. |
|||
Belonged to Voldemort's mother. It was difficult to find and... |
|||
(raising his damaged |
|||
hand) |
|||
...even more difficult to destroy. |
|||
[b][i]HARRY |
|||
Scott: then we have a more in depth description – I believe you gave this to us as well Rachel – ok – a test screening attendee has given some details regarding the Potions class scene: |
|||
But if you find them all. If you destroy each Horcrux... |
|||
Now to the subject of how Harry gets the potions book. Harry and Ron arrive in potions, and Slughorn tells them to go to the cabinet to take one of the extra copies he has. They open the cabinet which has several ratty old books and one virtually new one. Harry and Ron scramble in a typical teenagish way for the nice copy, which of course, Ron gets, leaving Harry to settle for one of the tattered old ones. When they begin to make the Draught of Living Death we see Harry open his books and the camera pans over the marked up pages. |
|||
DUMBLEDORE |
|||
They all start to make their potion and we see Hermione and Ron struggling to cut up the so – pop – sopophorous bean. The camera then shows us the handwritten addition in the book – Harry may read it to himself out loud, I can’t remember for certain – “Crush with flat side of dagger, releases juice better than cutting.” After he crushes the bean, looking excited, Hermione, whose hair is becoming increasingly messy, frizzy and puffy, leans to him – |
|||
One kills Voldemort[/i][/b] |
|||
Harry begins to reach out for the ring... |
|||
Vince: Oh, what is up with Hermione? |
|||
HARRY |
|||
Scott: – and asks him how he is doing that. He tells her what the handwritten instruction says to do, and she says something like, “but that’s not in the official instructions” and starts re-reading her own book frantically. |
|||
But how would you find them? They could be hidden anywhere, couldn't they... |
|||
DUMBLEDORE |
|||
Meesha: That is so Hermione. |
|||
True. But magic, especially Dark magic... |
|||
Just then, as the flesh of Harry's fingers make contact with the ring, IMAGES FLASH by in DIZZYING succession: VOLDEMORT'S FACE, twisted in pain. |
|||
Scott: Yeah – when Slughorn later declares Harry the winner and presents him with the Felix Felicis in front of the class, Ron and Hermione look annoyed and the whole class claps very enthusiastically, (clapping) while Harry with a huge shameless grin on his face accepts the bottle of potion. |
|||

DUMBLEDORE (CONT'D) |

Rachel: Unenthusiastically, actually. |
|||
...leaves traces. |
|||
Harry's clenched hand SPASMS, RELEASES. The ring skitters across Dumbledore's desk and Harry brings a hand to his chest, a look of bewilderment on his face. Dumbledore watches the ring spin down, then glances at Harry and slowly extends his own hand, |
|||
Meesha: Yeah |
|||
[IMG]http://i377.photobucket.com/albums/oo211/hbplist/ch23/Harry_Dumbledore.jpg[/IMG] |
|||
lightly touching the center of Harry's chest with the tips of two ashen fingers, as if reading braille, as if he can somehow "see" into Harry's heart. Trepidation--and recognition--flicker over his face. He looks up, meets Harry's eyes[/fieldset]It should be noted the above couple of paragraphs were absent from the test screening[fieldset=]HARRY |
|||
It's where you've been going, isn't it, sir? When you leave the school. |
|||
Harry's eyes drift once again to the postcard on the desk. Dumbledore withdraws his hand, nodding, still studying Harry oddly, his voice, when it comes, distant. |
|||
Scott: Unenthusiastically. |
|||
DUMBLEDORE |
|||
Rachel: Yeah (laughs) They looked rather pissed. |
|||
Yes. I think...perhaps...I may have found another. But [i][b]this time I cannot hope to destroy it alone.[/b][/i] |
|||
Harry peers into Dumbledore's eyes. Dumbledore nods. |
|||
Scott: So, we have a picture then – uh, another one that was released, of the potions class. Er, this one is just Harry and Slughorn by themselves, he appears to be handing him the bottle of Felix Felicis and is that correct Rachel? |
|||
DUMBLEDORE |
|||
Rachel: Yeah. The class is on the other - you know, is looking at them, so … |
|||
[i][b]Once again, I shall ask too much of you, Harry.[/i][/b] |
|||
118 INT./EXT. GARGOYLE CORRIDOR - LATE DAY |
|||
Scott: Oh. Ok. We were wondering why it’s just the two of them. |
|||
Harry stands at a window, looking out. He brings his fingers to his chest again when...Hermione comes up behind him. |
|||
Rachel: They’re standing in front of them. |
|||
HERMIONE |
|||
Meesha: …so this is just the different angle. So they actually have the same door on both sides? |
|||
Harry. It's time. |
|||
119 INT./EXT. COURTYARD - MOMENTS LATER - LATE DAY |
|||
Rachel: Oh, apparently. |
|||
Harry, Hermione and Ron walk. |
|||
Meesha: You can see that little banner. That’s what’s confusing us all. |
|||
HARRY |
|||
Rachel: It’s a window I think, isn’t it? |
|||
Hermione, is the Room of Requirement unplottable? |
|||
HERMIONE |
|||
Aaron: It’s a window, yeah. |
|||
If one wants it to be. Why? |
|||
HARRY |
|||
Meesha: Oh, is it a window? Ok. |
|||
It would explain why I thought Malfoy was leaving the castle when he disappeared off the Map. He was going to the Room of Requirement. |
|||
HERMIONE |
|||
Scott: Yeah, that one… |
|||
Of course, and that explains the Vanishing Cabinet as well![/fieldset] |
|||
[*]A test screening viewer discusses Horcruxes in the film: |
|||
Rachel: … ‘cause they were planning on having lots of windows down there. Sorry. (laughs) |
|||
[indent]I honestly don't know if those not familiar with the book will understand the horcruxes. I think they will understand what they do and how they work. But I am not sure if it was clear Harry still needed to kill Voldemort in the end, I think it is just assumed. What I don't think a book reader will understand is the significance in the objects chosen as horcruxes. I think the reason why Voldemort chooses those particular objects is not explained whatsoever. I don't think it was ever even mentioned that the locket was Slytherin's.[/indent][/list][/expand] |
|||
[expand=24. Sectumsempra][LIST][*]A picture of Harry talking to Katie Bell emerged, possibly showing the scene from the book where they talk after Katie returns from hospital. This of course could be another scene (possibly when they talk about Quidditch trials) or moved to another time. |
|||
[IMG]http://i377.photobucket.com/albums/oo211/hbplist/ch24/normal_escanear0011.jpg[/IMG] |
|||
Meesha: oh, yeah. |
|||
[*]The Sectumsempra scene appears to be confirmed, due to a [URL="http://www.leakylounge.com/Visit-HBP-filmset-t60162.html&pid=1605639&mode=threaded#entry1605639"]set report[/URL]: |
|||
Scott: I like all the exterior lighting in this movie … |
|||
[indent]We couldn't get into moaning Myrtle's bathroom because it was locked. They filmed the Sectumsempra scene there last week. They told me Tom had to lie in the fake blood and water for hours. He had a prosthetic chest on which pumped out fake blood and for each new take he had to get cleaned up and dry his hair before starting again. There are some pictures floating about of the scene and they look like Tom is lying dead in a pool of blood, very freaky for his friends to see![/indent] |
|||
Meesha: It’s magic. They have windows in the Ministry of Magic … |

[*]Moaning Myrtle [url=http://www.snitchseeker.com/harry-potter-news/exclusive-moaning-myrtle-not-half-blood-prince-55992/]is cut[/url] |

Vince: In OotP, it zooms out. |
|||
Scott: Although, isn’t it supposed to be a dungeon? Which would mean … |
|||
[*]Test screening viewers describe the scene |
|||
Rachel: That’s exactly what I was just saying (laughs) |
|||
[indent]When Harry and Draco fight in the toilets, Nigel is sits frozen in a cubical. |
|||
The scene is truly dark and serious; the touch of humor with the kid on the loo was a surprisingly well placed moment of humor as it did not spoil the mood. You think it would but it doesn't. It’s only about 5 seconds of screen time, something tells me it may be cut later, but I think they should leave it in. |
|||
Meesha: That’s just what she just said, Scott. |
|||
It's actually more of a "fight scene" - it's kind of cool that way - and yes, Harry is obviously disturbed by what he's done and horrified at the effect that the spell has |
|||
Vince: The camera zooms out of that window in the last movie – |
|||
For those asking about the bloodiness of the Sectumsempra scene, it was not very bloody but many of the wounds on Draco did not appear to be gushing. Before you all get upset, I think the extra blood is probably just a special effect not yet added. The scene implied much more blood than was seen. I am pretty sure this will be added in later. |
|||
Scott: Yeah, that’s right. |
|||
When Harry casts Sectumsempra, Snape runs in and heals Draco's wounds with a spell that sounds almost like a song. Snape does not use Legilimency on Harry, and Harry runs straight out of the bathroom and into McGonagall who's standing in the doorway. |
|||
Vince: – during Occlumency. |
|||
Snape does not question Harry whatsover. He does not even speak to him. No Roonil Waslib [/indent] |
|||
Aaron: It’s really low (– near the lake.) |
|||
[*]A shot from the third trailer, released November, showed Draco in the bathroom: |
|||
Meesha: But that does work, ‘cause they had that at the Ministry of Magic. Mr Weasley told Harry that they had the windows that were done by magic – they had Magical Maintenance, and – |

Vince: Right. |
|||
[*]The Harry/Ginny kiss has been altered |
|||
Meesha: – they gave them – |
|||
[indent]Ginny takes Harry to the RoR to hide the book. She kisses him in there, it's their first kiss. The relationship is done a bit differently compared to the book. There's a lot of build up since there wasn't much Ginny in the other movies. In fact I'd say there's more H/G in the movie. There's a lot of Ginny. She's very canon like and you can see that especially from her first scene. |
|||
The kiss between Harry and Ginny in the RoR isn't sad.[/indent] |
|||
Scott: Oh. |
|||
[*]This is the kiss seen in the third Sneak Peek. |
|||
Meesha: – whatever weather. Yeah, so … |
|||
Vince: But in the last movie, it is a real window, the camera zooms out of it. |
|||
[*]Test screening viewers describe the scene |
|||
Scott: So … |
|||
[indent][After Sectumsempra,] Hermione and Ginny band together and tell Harry to hide the potions book so not even Harry can find it. Ginny takes Harry to the room of Requirement, and makes him close his eyes while she hides the book. Then she kisses him briefly. By the time he opens his eyes she has vanished.[/indent] |
|||
[*]A script of this kiss scene appeared from a reliable source. |
|||
Rachel: Isn’t that Snape’s office though? Like there shouldn’t be a classroom … |

You've got to hide it. Today. |

105 - INT. SEVENTH FLOOR CORRIDOR - LATER - DAY |
|||
Vince: Yeah! That’s what I always thought too. |
|||
Harry, potions book in hand, follows Ginny past the empty birdcage and down the corridor when she pauses, turns to the wall and shuts her eyes. |
|||
Rachel: Yeah, I guess it doesn’t matter for the movie, but … |
|||
GINNY |
|||
Scott: Then, it has been said over and over again and is very disappointing, at least for me and quite a few others – |
|||
Take my hand. |
|||
106 - INT. ROOM OF REQUIREMENT - SECONDS LATER - DAY |
|||
Vince: Yeah. |

Ginny and Harry materialize. |

Scott: – the Defence Against the Dark Arts classes from this chapter were cut and – |
|||
HARRY |
|||
Vince: Boo! |
|||
The Room of Requirement... |
|||
Ginny nods, turns away. Harry follows. |
|||
Scott: – actually, (laughter) um, potions is the only class we see. This is the only one. There’s not even a second potions class that’s in the book with the bezoar thing, which would explain why no one would know where he got that idea (laughs). So, then we transition to a scene where the trio sit around the common room and discuss the – |
|||
NEW ANGLE - SECONDS LATER |
|||
Vince: Walnuts! |
|||
Harry eyes the shelves that tower above him and the odd things they hold: a SMALL CAGE bearing the SKELETON of some long-dead creature. A JAR of QUIVERING EYEBALLS which track him as he passes. |
|||
Scott: – Prince’s book. |
|||
GINNY |
|||
Vince: Walnuts! |
|||
Over the years, if someone had a secret, if they wanted to conceal something, this is where they came. Some of these things are almost as old as the castle itself. |
|||
HARRY |
|||
Scott: Which uh– |
|||
Who showed you this? First. |
|||
GINNY |
|||
Vince: With a bowl of Walnuts. |
|||
Fred and George. First Year. I hid Tom Riddle's diary here for a time. Wish I'd left it... |
|||
As Ginny drifts off in memory, Harry studies her, then a SCUFFLING SOUND is heard nearby. They turn, look off. |
|||
Aaron: Does it kinda go to that scene, Rachel? Does it actually go to this scene straight after? |
|||
GINNY/HARRY |
|||
Scott: Oh, yeah … |
|||
(at the same time) |
|||
What was that? |
|||
They turn back, look at each other. Ginny smiles. Then: |
|||
Rachel: Oh – Oh – Oh, actually, I don’t – I’m not positive about that. |
|||
NEW ANGLE - BEHIND VANISHING CABINET |
|||
Aaron: Oh, OK |

Harry and Ginny approach. The SCUFFLING GROWS LOUDER. Harry reaches out, pulls aside the tapestry. Reacts. The cabinet door VIBRATES. Slowly, he opens it and... |
|||
Rachel: It might. (laughs) |
|||
...the BLACK BIRD flies free in a rush of FLAPPING wings. |
|||
Scott: I don’t know what else would be in between – but, yeah … |
|||
GINNY |
|||
Vince: There’s a bowl of walnuts. |
|||
See, you never know what you'll find up here. |
|||
Harry nods, looks back at the cabinet, mystified. |
|||
Scott: So, yeah. There’s a picture that was released of this nice high res picture and it’s the trio in the common room Harry is holding out the potions book, showing Hermione something, and is this where he is showing her the Sectumsempra scene – I mean the spell in the book? |
|||
GINNY (CONT'D) |
|||
Rachel: Yeah, yeah. That’s what I think, that’s what I believe – that’s what he’s showing. |
|||
All right. Close your eyes. That way you can't be tempted. |
|||
Ginny slips the book from his fingers and starts to back away. She mouths: Close...your...eyes. As she leaves FRAME, CAMERA pushes ever-so-slightly in on Harry. Still. Waiting. For a long moment, there is only silence. Then a shadow gently eclipses Harry's face. |
|||
Scott: Ah. OK. Hermione is reading a paper, it says “More disappearances at the Ministry” (Rachel: Yeah) Do we get a close-up of that at all? Or see what it says? Or does she read it? Or … ? |
|||
GINNY (CONT'D) |
|||
Rachel: At some point we see a close up of a newspaper and I don’t remember when – It could have been her’s – but at some point you do see Lucius, a picture of him in Azkaban. So, I don’t – It could have been on the backside of her paper – but I don’t – |
|||
There's something else. Another secret of sorts. One of mine... |
|||
[IMG]http://i377.photobucket.com/albums/oo211/hbplist/ch24/24kiss.jpg[/IMG] |

Ginny leans in then and places her mouth on Harry's. |
|||
Scott: Oh, ok. |

GINNY (CONT'D) |
|||
Rachel: – It could have been somewhere else, but I don’t know if it was there or not, but I don’t know if we get a huge view of this or not … |
|||
That can stay hidden up here too, if you like. |
|||
Harry opens his eyes, watches Ginny back away, then disappear around the corner. He stares at the empty air, blinking, then watches the black bird flutter overhead. |
|||
Scott: I think we had heard that from somebody else was at the very beginning like around maybe the bridge attack scene, or … |
|||
107 - INT. CORRIDOR - LATER - LATE AFTERNOON |
|||
Rachel: Yeah, that would actually make more sense, so … |
|||
Harry, looking a tad dazed, walks aimlessly. |
|||
Scott: Okay. |
|||
RON (O.S.) |
|||
Rachel: Um, I don’t know they didn’t – you know how in Order of the Phoenix they had a lot of newspaper scenes at various points? This movie wasn’t filled with them that way (laughs) |
|||
So. Did you and Ginny do it? |
|||
Harry jumps, watches Ron appear. |

[*]According to test screen viewers, the H/G romantic relationship is basically non-existent: |
|||
Scott: Yeah. |

[INDENT]There is really no implication that Ginny and Harry are dating, much to my dismay. It seemed much more that their feelings were both made very clear but no further action was taken. No implied stolen hours in secluded corners in the Hogwarts grounds. |

Hm. I don't really remember arms around one another - but Harry's response was surprise for sure. It was a really kind of "forward" Ginny-esque moment.[/INDENT] |

[b]Rachel:[/b] I know that they were unhappy, but I don’t remember anything about a break-up. I – I just remember – I just know that it was – Hermione keeps saying that they are unhappy together and stuff. I don’t – Maybe they did break up – I didn’t see it. (laughs) |
|||
Scott: We were trying to figure out what the picture – it looks like there’s a guy in, in the little picture here in the newspaper. We thought it was either Scrimgeour or – |
|||
[b]Meesha:[/b] Maybe it was – was it Kristen who talked about the dinner party when Ginny came and said Hermione told Harry that they had broken up? |

[expand=26. The Cave][list][*]According to a test screen viewer, there is a scene before they leave Hogwarts which seems to have replaced the argument in the forest between Dumbledore and Snape: |
|||
[INDENT]...when Harry goes to the top of the Astronomy Tower to meet up with Dumbledore to go to the cave. He is just walking in when Snape who had obviously been discussing something with Dumbledore gives Harry his infamous intimidating stare and walks swiftly out. It is a very brief moment and nothing more is said about it. Although I think it is safe to assume Snape and Dumbledore were discussing Dumbledore’s death. (and/or maybe discussing Harry and how he has to die). [/INDENT] |
|||
Rachel: I’m wondering about that one too. It’s interesting. |
|||
[*]The exterior Cave scenes are to be filmed at Cape Wraith |
|||
Scott: And then … |
|||
Rachel: Oh! It’s a moving picture! That’s why. |
|||
[*]Stuart Craig has stated in an interview for Movie Magic that the decision was made to use a Crystal Cave instead of a Limestone Cave: |
|||
Meesha: Yeah. |
|||
[indent]A key to what we did this time was our initial research. We started by saying, "What's interesting about a cave?" Well, stalagmites and stalactites are probably the most familiar, almost clichéd, of limestone caves. So we started to examine crystal caves and looked to the pictures of this incredible quartz cave in Mexico. We did visit one in Switzerland and thought, "What other kind of crystal caves are there?" It turned out to be a salt crystal cave outside Frankfurt in Germany, so we went there, and it's part of a cast phosphate mining complex, but there's also rock salt down there, and in this one area salt crystals, which are completely transparent and glass-like. We took extensive photographs and used that as our inspiration. What it's done is given us this hopefully fantastic set and fantastic world but with a bit of geological credibility at the same time, which we've always tried to do. Yes, it's a magical world, but it's grounded in a recognizable reality. We've treated the cave as an extension of the architecture in that respect[/indent] |
|||
[*]The exterior of the cave was shown in the second and third trailers: |
|||
Rachel: I don’t know what it was, but it’s definitely moving. (laughs) |

Scott: And there’s a couple other students in the background. And you said Ginny is in this scene? She’s just off screen – |
|||
[indent]In terms of new sets, we saw the cave construction, which will feature in a climactic scene with Dumbledore and Harry, the inside of which I can only describe as being a cross between Isla de Muerta in Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl and the cave in Superman Returns. With the CGI effects added, I can only imagine how expansive it will look, and how eerie it will be with its Inferi inhabitants.[/indent] |

Scott: And she’s the one then that ... discovers the – oh, yeah, here we go – a test screen viewer has described the context of this scene: |
|||
Later in the common room the trio sit around – Ginny is somewhere around – and Harry is reading the Potions book. He notices the spell for Sectumsempra and tries to show this to Hermione and Ron. Hermione gets upset/annoyed and says that she wants to see whose book it was. She jumps up and tries to grab in from him. Harry holds it back out of her reach but Ginny who comes from behind Harry grabs it and backs away and says she also wants to know who wrote that stuff in the book. She quickly flicks to the back and then reads out loud, “This book is the property of the Half-Blood Prince.” |
|||
[*]A picture of Harry in the Cave emerged: |

[*]The Inferi were briefly described by Dan Radcliffe: |

Meesha: Yeah. |

Meesha: Yeah, that was – she didn’t actually read it in the book, but adding that in … |

[b]Rachel:[/b] Oh, at least 10 minutes I think. |

[b]Rachel:[/b] Yeah. |

[b]Meesha:[/b] Yeah, that’s a good long scene. |
|||
Vince: They’re like – |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] Yeah, because there’s a – there’s multiple parts to that scene so – yeah, it could be even slightly longer… |
|||
Meesha: I’ve listened to at least five. |
|||
[b]Scott:[/b] Cool.[/fieldset] |
|||
Rachel: But the audio books can ruin the movies a lot more than the regular books do, because you – like – I have a voice in mind for everyone. |
|||
[*]A test screening viewer describes the cave sequence in great detail: |
|||
Scott: Oh. |
|||
[indent]Dumbledore meets Harry at the top of the Astronomy tower and they apparate to outside the cave. As they are leaving Harry is surprised that that they can apparate from within the Hogwarts grounds, and Dumbledore says something along the lines of "That's the beauty of being headmaster." |
|||
The scene they apparate to, despite being slightly unfinished was nonetheless absolutely breathtaking. Cliffs and huge waves dominate the scene. Dumbledore finds their way to the anti-chamber and slits his hand (for you star trek fans – he does it in a Klingon way – straight across the inside of his hand). The wall crumbles away and Dumbledore explains to Harry that Voldemort would have set up defenses around the Horcrux. |
|||
Vince: Yeah. |
|||
The cave is very different than what I had pictured and than all the fan art I have seen, but still a chilling and amazing sight. It reminded me a bit of a normal cave mixed with the ice crystal place Superman goes to in one of his movies. The whole cave is a vast formation of huge crystals, jagged and rough, jutting out from the ceiling walls and floor. |
|||
Rachel: And he – Jim Dale – |
|||
They make their way to the water and Dumbledore cautions Harry not to touch it and he starts to raise the boat with magic. Then he has Harry reel it in with a very heavy long chain. |
|||
Vince: I mean, I have my own. |
|||
The island is a formation of crystals as is the basin. Now the only really cheesy and unspectacular thing about this whole scene is that they use a large white clam shell partially imbedded in a small rock to scoop up the potion. In my opinion it looked rather silly. Dumbledore tell Harry to force him to drink the potion and Gambon once again does a slightly better than usual job being forced to drink the potion. |
|||
Rachel: – with the exception of Hermione – |
|||
At one point towards the end you can very softly hear Dumbledore mumble something like "please don't hurt them, it's all my fault." But it was almost inaudible and I doubt anyone who has not read the book caught the line at all. Then after the last scoop is drunk, Gambon kind of goes back to his rather poor, unresearched acting and says with far too much strength. "Harry, Water." |
|||
Scott: I’ve just heard the audio for the first one. It was really great. So – |
|||
But first Harry goes back to the Basin and recovers the locket and in the background we can hear Dumbledore saying "Harry, water" getting slightly weaker each time he says it. Harry attempts to fill the basin with water the aguamenti charm, but can not get the scoop the water up with that silly shell. After trying several times and Dumbledore starting to collapse he goes to the lake to fill it there. |
|||
Rachel: – but Dumbledore in these books are so good. |
|||
Suddenly the light that was emanating from the island with the basin goes out, and Harry lights his wand (most unfortunately with the non-existent spell luminous-maximus, or whatever it was he used in the beginning of the third movie), and slowly reaches down to scoop up the lake water. The moment he touches it a hand reaches out and grabs Harry's wrist. The whole audience jumped in fear. Harry tries to fend off the inferi with all the spells we hear him try in the books. But in the end he is pulled down into the water. |
|||
Scott: … the very last thing we have for this chapter, finishing this up – |
|||
Before I go on I must say the inferi scene was one of the most spectacular of this movie. They looked a bit like the newer version of the dementor, but much more human shaped and brownish. I fear I am not describing them well, because they were truly a scary site to see. The camera angles captured the scene of Harry trying hopelessly to defend himself and Dumbledore from them as they clambered onto the island from all different angles and the sheer number of them eventually overwhelms Harry and he is pulled down deep into the lake. |
|||
Aaron: I just added this in here. |
|||
While Harry is underwater the view we have is from below him looking up and we can see the whole island from below as well. Suddenly the inferi hold harry releases him and he swims up to a surface covered in fierce flame. The "ring of fire" Dumbledore conjures is an unbelievable sight, far more than I think anyone pictured in the books, but incredibly spectacular. Harry and Dumbledore climb back in the boat and the scene then cuts to Harry helping Dumbledore through the cave. |
|||
Scott: – it isn’t placed correctly and we have a question about this ... It said that there’s a small scene, ‘at the beginning’ in – in quotes – concerning Ginny’s relationship with Dean. Is it around here or is it earlier? It says: |
|||
During Dan's interview, he commented about a scene where Ron says, in the beginning of the movie - while Ginny is dating Dean Thomas: "You have to hate anyone who goes out with their sister as a matter of principle, right." Harry, a bit ashamed, answers: “Yeah, I suppose so … ” |
|||
The ever so anticipated lines of (I am paraphrasing) "Don't worry sir, I'll get us back" and Dumbledore replying "I am not worried, I am with you" are said. Executed very well by Radcliff though rather poorly in my opinion by Gambon who clearly does not know the significant emotional value we fans know those lines have.[/indent] |
|||
Rachel: Yeah, I think that’s in the – the Three Broomsticks when Ginny and Dean are making out. |
|||

Rachel: I think Ginny is actually with Dean though, in this scene too, but I don’t think they’re making out, they’re just together, I think that’s why she’s not with them. Um, I thinks she’s off – but I don’t Dean was paying attention to what was going on, but I don’t remember for sure. (laughs) |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] Because it’s a Deathly Hallow. |
|||
Meesha: Now. Does– does Ginny – does the break-up with Dean happen before the whole thing with the room – the Room of Requirement? |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] – I wouldn’t recognize anyone else’s wand but his so… |
|||
Rachel: I know that they were unhappy, but I don’t remember anything about a break-up. I – I just remember – I just know that it was – Hermione keeps saying that they are unhappy together and stuff. I don’t – Maybe they did break up – I didn’t see it. (laughs) |
|||
[b]Scott:[/b] Yeah, ‘cause I thought it was such a cool – |
|||
Meesha: Maybe it was – was it Kristen who talked about the dinner party when Ginny came and said Hermione told Harry that they had broken up? |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] Yeah, there is like little bubbles on it, yeah |
|||
[b]Scott:[/b] – idea that – |

Aaron: No, it was just that they were fighting. |

[expand=27. The Lightning Struck Tower][LIST][*]Another script leak from IMDB shows the beginning of the "Invasion of Hogwarts"; Shots came from multiple sources: |
|||
[fieldset=HBP script]124 EXT. ENTRANCE/CAVE |
|||
Harry and Dumbledore emerge from the cave. Dumbledore, pale and weak, scans the stars wearily, leans heavily on Harry. |
|||
Rachel: Oh. |
|||
HARRY |
|||
Meesha: Oh, they were fighting, okay. |
|||
Don't worry, sir. We're nearly there. |
|||
DUMBLEDORE |
|||
Rachel: They were fighting. I don’t think they actually – just like they never get together – they never really – Ginny and Harry never get together. |
|||
I am not worried, Harry. I am with you. |
|||
125 INT. GREAT HALL - SAME TIME - NIGHT |
|||
Vince: So, Ginny – |
|||
We HOLD on the gothic glass of the main window. Ambient light, ominous and cool, plays across its shimmering surface. Flitwick, arms flowing gracefully, conducts a group of FIFTH YEARS, looks up toward the window, eyes the pulsating light. |
|||
Rachel: Yes. |
|||
126 EXT. COURTYARD - SAME TIME - NIGHT |
|||
Vince: Ginny is cheating on him then (laughter) when she’s kissing Harry. |
|||
McGonagall stands in the courtyard as the CHOIR DRIFTS FAINTLY on the night air. She glances up to the sky, a curious expression on her face, then spies a pair of First Years straggling across the courtyard. |
|||
Rachel: Ginny seems to be making her way around. (laughs) |
|||
PROFESSOR MCGONAGALL |
|||
Meesha: Yeah. The Ginny haters will love that. |
|||
To your Houses. No dawdling. |
|||
As they scuttle off, McGonagall looks back to the sky. A VORTEX of CLOUDS swirls eerily in on itself. |
|||
Scott: Yeah. |
|||
[IMG]http://i377.photobucket.com/albums/oo211/hbplist/ch27/sc34.jpg[/IMG] |
|||
We PULL BACK... |
|||
127 INT. WINDOW - CASTLE - SAME TIME - NIGHT |
|||
Vince: Yeah. |
|||
...out of the window, its glass prickling with ambient light, and find Snape standing silently, staring at the gathering storm, his expression inscrutable. The choir a murmur. |
|||
(laughter) |
|||
128 INT. COMMON ROOM - SAME TIME - NIGHT |
|||
Scott: Alright, so that finishes up (laughter) our chapters for this week ... and – |

Darker than usual. The fire muted. Ron and Hermione sit together. Silent. Glance toward the window, the sky beyond. |

129 INT. HOSPITAL WING - SAME TIME - NIGHT |
|||
Scott: – in the next episode in a few weeks, we’ll bring you chapters ten through twelve. |
|||
Draco's face, skin glimmering with the light crawling across the ceiling above him. He stares, unblinking, swings out of the bed. Bare feet--Draco's--drop to the tiles. |
|||
Aaron: Yeah. |
|||
130 INT. CORRIDOR - MOMENT LATER - NIGHT |
|||
Scott: Thanks for listening. |
|||
The choir echoes eerily. SIXTH YEARS, little more than SHADOWS, hang out, giggling in dark corners. Malfoy glides by in his bare feet. Unnoticed. A ghost. |
|||
Meesha: Thank you |
|||
131 INT. ROOM OF REQUIREMENT - MOMENTS LATER - NIGHT |

Dense with shadow. Strange slashes of light. Malfoy, a shadow within shadows, pulls the tapestry, from the Vanishing Cabinet, steps back... |

[IMG]http://i377.photobucket.com/albums/oo211/hbplist/ch27/normal_hbp_promo_trailer2_089.jpg[/IMG] |
|||
He stares at the monolith before him, lifts his wand and begins to CHANT eerily. The surface of the cabinet glimmers, atremble in the ambient light. Almost alive. Then he stops. Looking back, his eyes haunted, he slips away. |
|||
Scott: And thanks again to Rachel for joining us. |
|||
Light plays within the cabinet. Movement. Shadows flicker within, coalesce. We ease up, reveal... |
|||
Aaron: Yeah |
|||
Bellatrix. Greyback. And a few friends. Bellatrix steps into the light. Glances around. Grins.[/fieldset] |

When -- |
|||
Vince: Yeah, thanks Rach. |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] No. |
|||
Rachel: Thank you for having me (laughs) |
|||
[b]Scott:[/b] -- they infiltrated the castle? Ah ... |
|||
Vince: Oh, your welcome, it’s been great. |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] No. He -- he didn't. He - they -- the Death Eaters just basically came right in. (laughter) Well -- I mean -- they were in the Room of Requirement so no one knew they were there and there was no Order of the Phoenix waiting for them either so -- |
|||
-- |
|||
[b]Scott:[/b] Okay. |
|||
(HBP teaser trailer music) |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] -- so they -- you know -- they made their way up -- I mean, Draco got up there first for some reason or another, but -- and then they came up afterward. |
|||
Harry: Did you know sir, then? |
|||
[b]Scott:[/b] The part that was in the script -- when he lets them in through the cabinet -- that's actually seen -- |
|||
Dumbledore: Did I just know I’d just met the most dangerous wizard of all time? No. |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] Yeah -- that was -- |
|||
-- |
|||
[b]Scott:[/b] -- or was that cut? |
|||
Vince: On to the show … |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] -- I saw that script and it was accurate. It was exactly what I saw. |
|||
[b]Scott:[/b] Oh, cool. |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] So -- yeah. And it's an impressive looking scene. I mean, it was -- the -- the way he takes the tapestry that he has over the cabinet off kind of looked pretty cool and stuff -- |
|||
[b]Scott:[/b] Right. |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] So ... (laughs) |
|||
[b]Scott:[/b] So then -- from the end of that script -- what happens like right after that? Does it go right into Dumbledore and Harry apparate back to the Astronomy tower or is there something in between? |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] I'm not -- I can't -- you know what I can't remember is if that happened like -- I -- I think that actually happened right after they -- they were about to come back -- you know -- like -- it was assumed they were on their way back and then we see all that. But I -- I could be slightly wrong about that order. It could have happened right before we saw them at the cave. Do you know what I mean? Like they -- right after they left, but before they went in. |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] Right. |
|||
[b]Scott:[/b] Right. |
|||
[b]Meesha:[/b] Right. |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] I just can't remember. So ... |
|||
[b]Scott:[/b] Yeah, cause in -- in the script -- it showed the very tail portion of the cave where he said, "I'm not worried", and they were about to come back and then they -- |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] Oh, that line. |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] That would be right, yeah. That's what I thought. |
|||
[b]Scott:[/b] -- they went to Hogwarts and -- showing some tension or something or dark skies outside and then Draco sneaks off to the Room of Requirement and lets the Death Eaters in -- |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] Yeah. |
|||
[…] |
|||
[b]Meesha:[/b] Ok, then we had this little tiny picture, looks like Ron and Hermione in the Gryffindor common room. |
|||
[b]Scott:[/b] Yeah. |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] With their backs… |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] Oh, is that… |
|||
[b]Meesha:[/b] Yeah, with their backs to the camera. |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] Is that the end of the movie? |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] I believe it was. I can’t guarantee anything that I know – but it looks like – you had the script leak and I think that was actually in the script leak, like the – they’re staring out the window. |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] Right, the montage of everybody… |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] Yeah that was a slight – it was a really cool looking scene, was that whole – that whole script that you – that we were reading – I couldn’t figure out what was going on, though – like I didn’t understand why it was there, but it was really good looking, I mean the style looked amazing and it was – and it gave you a really eerie feeling. But I didn’t understand what the point was. Do you know what I mean? (laughs) |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] I guess it’s just like – just like – to set up – |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] I think it’s just mood. |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] – set up the mood. |
|||
[b]Scott:[/b] Just an ominous feeling for them entering the castle. |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] It's good for racking up the tension |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] Yeah. |
|||
[b]Scott:[/b] Yeah. |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] Like darkness is coming – something bad is going to happen. |

[*]Stuart Craig [url=http://www.snitchseeker.com/harry-potter-news/hp-set-design-changes-43335/]has confirmed[/url] he built the Astronomy Tower set and says the scene is going to be powerful. |
|||
[*]A Set Report Teaser from Harry Potter Fan Zone contained a brief description of the Astronomy Tower: |
|||
[indent]We’re nearing the end of the visit when we’re given a first-hand look at the construction of the Astronomy Tower. The wooden structure is enormous. Even at a place like Leavesden it looks as if it towers above everything else. I can’t imagine what it’ll look like on film. Construction is well underway - the framework appears to be complete, and on one side the walls are being pained. This is a truly breathtaking spectacle.[/indent] |
|||
[*]In addition, there is a shot from the HBP VIDEO GAME (based on the film) of the Astronomy Tower interior: |
|||
[IMG]http://i377.photobucket.com/albums/oo211/hbplist/ch27/2cmonq9.jpg[/IMG] |
|||
[*]A change in Harry’s (and Dumbledore’s) actions has occurred, according to test screening viewers |
|||
[indent]Harry is not frozen by Dumbledore and is on the floor below the top of the astronomy tower looking up through floorboards at the events.[/indent] |
|||
[*]A test screening viewer also confirms Draco’s disarming of Dumbledore |
|||
[indent]Yes he [Draco] does [disarm Dumbledore], and Dumbledore looks startled.[/indent] |
|||
[*]Shots of this scene came from the third trailer, released November: |

|||
[*]A test screening viewer describes this scene |
|||
[indent]They then apparate back to the top of the astronomy tower. There is no dark mark in the sky. But as Dumbledore says he needs Severus not Madame Pomfrey they hear a commotion and Dumbledore orders Harry to go and hide and not come out or interfere. A command the book Harry would never have followed, but that the movie Harry would obey. Harry goes underneath the wooden floor of the tower where Dumbledore is standing where he can see everything through large gaps between the wood slates. Draco arrives and Tom does a brilliant job as a boy trying to be fierce and terrified at the same time. Some lines from the book are rather butchered by Dumbledore saying things like "Draco, you are not an assassin." Then the deatheaters arrive all in masks except Bellatrix and Greyback. Bellatrix urges Draco to do it though his wand lowers slightly. |
|||
Meanwhile under the floor Harry who is watching terrified with his wand at the ready is sneaked up on by Snape, whose wand is also out and puts his finger to his lips to make sure Harry stays quiet. My description does not quite capture that scene well enough, but I was surprised to find my heart ripping, perhaps because I knew what was going to happen when Snape appeared there. Snape quietly appears above, and Dumbledore, with far too much strength says "Severus Please." |
|||
And Snape does the avada kadavra, and Bellatrix is ecstatic. The scene with Dumbledore being lifted into the air was unfortunately unfinished because we see him up in the air and then apparently falling down the side of the tower, but there was no motion yet. He is stationary in both scenes. I am sure more special effects will be added later. Then Bellatrix casts the Dark Mark (another amazing updated special effect with a black smoke skull and snake tongue).[/indent] |
|||
[*]Test screening viewers note that the film is basically finished once Dumbledore dies |
|||
[indent]there’s maybe 5-8 min after his death.[/indent] |

|||
[b]Vince:[/b] Snape, yeah. |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] -- but it in -- like people are really, I think, worried about that scene. But when Snape showed up, I mean, it gave -- it actually gave me chills and that -- |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] Oh. |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] -- and I wasn't expecting that at all because I was -- I was -- I was still -- I was really caught up in the fact that it wasn't -- |
|||
[b]Scott:[/b] Hmm. |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] -- you know, on how they interpreted it. I knew -- I knew they weren't going to do the invisibility cloak. I -- I had a big feeling about that, but I was cur -- you know, I thought it was kind of weird that Harry wasn't doing anything, and -- but Snape turned up just in time. It looked like Harry was just about to do something and -- |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] How long is that scene before Snape shows up? |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] It's not super long -- |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] Like how long -- |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] -- but it's not -- it's not terribly -- it's not -- it seemed perfect to me. Like it seemed like he was just starting to gather, you know -- he -- it looked like -- the Death Eaters had just shown up and that -- you could tell that Harry was realizing this is not a -- this is not a joke. It -- you know -- |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] Yeah. |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] -- Draco is -- Draco might not be doing something, but those Death Eaters will. And so -- and that's when Snape showed up and he had his fingers to his lips and, you know -- and it was -- and Harry kind of is startled by him, but is scare -- you know -- and then turns really quickly back to look up, you know what I mean? And -- |
|||
[b]Scott:[/b] Right. |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] -- and then Snape disappears and ru --goes up to the top. So ... (laughs) |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] Wow. |
|||
[b]Scott:[/b] So we had a question about that scene on like the dialog from the book -- how much was that kept intact between -- |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] Yeah, like Draco and Dumbledore. |
|||
[b]Scott:[/b] -- Dumbledore, Draco, and the Death Eaters? Did Dumbledore refer to any of the Death Eaters by name or did they all have -- |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] He said something like -- |
|||
[b]Scott:[/b] -- their masks on? |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] -- I -- I know that it's -- a little bit was -- he didn't name any of the Death Eaters that were there. I -- it was obvious Bellatrix and Greyback were there, but that was about it. But the -- he didn't name like the Carrows or anyone else who was supposed to be up there. But he did say the Draco things like -- like -- I -- you know, it caught my -- I think -- "Draco you are not an assassin" and I thought, you know couldn't they just say killer? You know? (laughs) |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] Yeah. |
|||
(laughter) |
(laughter) |
||
[b]Rachel:[/b] He's like -- [inaudible] |
|||
Aaron: The rest of the show … |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] I know. |
|||
Meesha: Which will take about three weeks to listen to! |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] But -- |
|||
(laughter) |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] Yeah, murderer would be power -- more powerful. |
|||
Rachel: Best shows do, don’t they? |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] Yeah -- or something like that -- I -- |
|||
Vince: It took three months to record, so … |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] Yeah, it would. |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] -- assassin sounded strange to me, but -- but -- but it was - that's what they said. But -- or what -- what, you know, Gam -- Dumbledore says, but -- but it was similar. It was just -- you -- they had to leave everything out that was just not relevant to the movie so ... (laughs) |
|||
Scott: We did this quicker than the first one, though. I gotta say this was still quicker than the first … |
|||
[b]Scott:[/b] So a lot of those witty things were cut then -- like where he was talking to them as if they were being invited to a tea party and was like, "Oh, you brought Alecto too". |
|||
Rachel: I think this is the only show that has the most spoilers out any other podcast that’s been out there, so … |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] (laughs) Yeah. |
|||
Scott: Yeah, the other ones said they were mostly spoiler free. |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] No, because Gambon doesn't know how to do that. I mean, (laughter) it -- you -- I think he could have done it, but it was -- it -- it didn't come off that way because it -- it -- that's -- that's all about the acting and the directing and they have to know -- |
|||
Meesha: Yeah |
|||
[b]Scott:[/b] Right. |
|||
Rachel: Yeah |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] -- to do that and I don't think they knew that. But it wasn't bad -- it wasn't poorly done either. It was -- he -- even Harry says at some point later that it looked like Draco was dropping his wand. He wasn't going to do it. |
|||
Vince: We’re not! |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] Oh, he says it? He says it -- |
|||
Meesha: Yeah, we DO need to put a spoiler warning somewhere. |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] Yeah. He does say that. |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] -- later on? Ah ... |
|||
[b]Meesha:[/b] Oh, that's good. |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] Yeah. I don't remember exactly where he says it, but I do remember him saying he was gonna drop -- he was dropping his wand. And I remember thinking -- |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] What -- |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] -- I don't even remember seeing that, but I -- I'm glad he said that, you know what I mean? (laughs) |
|||
[b]Meesha:[/b] Yeah. |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] So ... |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] What is Draco's reaction when Snape does the deed? |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] They -- he -- they turn and run really quick -- he's stunned. |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] Ah ... |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] He was -- he was -- he was so, you know, destroyed pretty much anyway that he -- I don't -- I think he was relieved and scared and, you know -- and disappointed -- |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] Oh. |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] - and -- he looked right for the pa -- I mean -- he looked exactly what I would think you should -- he -- |
|||
[b]Scott:[/b] Right. |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] -- but they run so quickly that it's not -- it's hard to capture that too quickly, you know? |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] Bellatrix laughs, right -- or something when -- when it happens? |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] Yeah, she laughs. She laughs and then, you know, like that, you know -- crazy -- |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] She cast the Dark Mark, right? |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] Yeah. |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] She cast -- yeah. |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] And that -- that was really cool. I don't think that that was the same as the last -- as the -- |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] Oh, so it -- |
|||
[b]Scott:[/b] Goblet of Fire. |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] Yeah. |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] -- was a different effect? |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] Yeah. That was a finished effect. It was really good. |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] Okay. |
|||
[b]Scott:[/b] All right. |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] Cool. |
|||
[…] |
|||
[b]Aaron:[/b] Going all the way back to when Snape tells Harry to be quiet on the tower -- do you think that can be viewed in both the perspectives of Harry -- of Snape is good and both -- |

[b]Vince:[/b] Good question. |
|||
[b]Aaron:[/b] -- that Snape is bad? |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] Well, I think it was just -- I think this is about -- I think that -- that what they were trying to show is -- is that -- whether or not Harry trusted Snape at that point. And it was obvious because of his -- you know, that he wasn't trusting Snape through some of this movie, but it wasn't super, you know -- it wasn't -- it wasn't -- it wasn't pushed as much as I thought it could be, but it was -- it was definitely there, like -- the idea that Harry did not trust Snape. It really seemed as though, you know, Harry, who -- wasn't -- didn't seem to trust Snape throughout the movie, actually decided to trust Snape at the last minute there and -- and then was totally betrayed, you know, when -- when Snape killed Dumbledore. So ... and that -- that was -- that seemed to be portrayed well enough to bring it into Deathly Hallows as Snape being a bad guy. You know what I mean? (laughs) |

[b]Vince:[/b] Yes. |

[expand=28. Flight of the Prince][LIST][*]Lord John Paul Castrianni, has [URL="http://www.snitchseeker.com/harry-potter-news/brief-interview-half-blood-prince-death-eater-54525/"]confirmed the invasion of Hogwarts[/URL]: |
|||
[indent]I am involved in the invasion of Hogwarts (not so much of an invasion more of a skirmish) in which several Death Eaters attempt to infiltrate Hogwarts and find Dumbledore[/indent] |
|||
[*]The second trailer, released October, shows Snape leading the Death Eaters through the Great Hall: |

[indent]The picture of Bella running along the table is from right after Dumbledore is killed.[/indent] |
|||
[*]Greyback [URL="http://www.snitchseeker.com/harry-potter-news/dave-legeno-talks-filming-half-blood-prince-55005/"]will attack[/URL] Harry. Most likely the attack will happen here, as in the book |
|||
[*]It appears that Hagrid's Hut will be burned (staying true to the book) as evidenced by a [URL="http://www.leakylounge.com/Visit-HBP-filmset-t60162.html&pid=1605639&mode=threaded#entry1605639"]set report[/URL] |
|||
[indent]Hagrid's hut was a short bus ride away, it had been burned, even saw Hagrid's pumpkin patch though there were no pumpkins. They filmed it burning with a load of cameras (I forget how many they said) because they only got one chance to film it burn. A lot of the outdoor sets have camouflage nets around them. This is because the neighbours complained that the light was reflecting off them and that they were ugly.[/indent] |

[*]The battle has been downsized, according to test screening viewers |
|||
[indent]There is no battle in hogwarts like in the books. Bellatrix and the others run through Hogwarts triumphantly destroying a bit of the castle in a euphoric tantrum along the way and then Hagrid's house is set on fire. But no one but Harry takes any action and that is only on Snape as far as I can remember. Snape blocks all of Harry's curses.[/indent] |

[*]A test screening attendee confirms the reveal of the Half Blood Prince: |
|||
[INDENT]Many of you asked what Harry’s reaction to Snape’s revelation that he is the Half-Blood Prince was. To be honest it was hard to say because he was lying on the ground besides being hit with counter curses from Snape, Bellatrix at one point runs up and curses him too, though I am unclear what spell she tried to use on him (much of the spell casting throughout the movie was done without words, and I am guessing, or rather hoping this is because voiceovers were just not added yet, but who knows). |
|||
Snape yells at her, saying “Potter belongs to the Dark Lord” and she leaves. That’s when Snape approaches Harry who is on the ground whimpering and enraged. He says the line “[I]You may have your mother’s eyes but you are as dim as your father[/I]” That is when he reveals he is the Half-Blood Prince. Then he leaves. |
|||
I was disappointed that we didn't see the "DON'T CALL ME A COWARD!" line (I was waiting for it!) but I wasn't disappointed with the scene overall |
|||
He doesn't scream like in the books - Alan Rickman's Snape has always been a lot more "controlled" than Jo Rowling's Snape, though. He is perfectly in character as what I think of as "movie!Snape"... very "dangerous" but no overabundance of anger[/INDENT] |

Nobody's in the halls? There's no confrontation at all? They just -- |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] No. |
|||
[b]Scott:[/b] -- stroll on out of the castle while destroying things? |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] I vaguely -- I -- I'm -- I hope I'm not confusing what I remember with my book, but I -- I -- I vaguely remember them passing students who were kind of ducking down, but -- |
|||
[b]Scott:[/b] Oh. All right. |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] -- and I think that actually did happen, but, you know what I mean? (laughs) Like it's -- |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] Yeah. |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] -- it's -- sometimes I find that I'm getting confused, but -- no -- that -- that -- I am virtually certain that happened. But, other -- but then no one stopped them, you know what I mean? No one -- no one was like -- |
|||
[b]Scott:[/b] Right. |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] -- like -- no fight. And -- and Bellatrix was cele -- they were cele -- I mean, they were happy as hell. (laughter) |
|||
[b]Meesha:[/b] Right. |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] She like jumps on the table, right? |
|||
[b]Scott:[/b] What parts of the castle were they destroying? Like -- they ran through the Great Hall -- it looks like and -- |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] Yeah. I was hoping they would do the -- the hour glass, but they didn't. They didn't have those in the movie. You know, where they destroy -- |
|||
[b]Scott:[/b] Oh. |
|||
[b]Aaron:[/b] Yeah. It's in a really bad spot in the movie. |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] -- the Gryffindor hour glass, but -- but -- but, no -- but they -- they -- they were just celebrating. And -- and then they -- and then Bellatrix set -- I believe it was Bellatrix -- set -- set Hagrid's house -- hut on fire, but Hagrid didn't seem to be in it. |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] Oh -- |
|||
[b]Scott:[/b] So Hagrid wasn't -- |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] -- he wasn't in the scene? |
|||
[b]Scott:[/b] -- in the scene? |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] He wasn't there, so ... |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] That's weird. |
|||
[b]Scott:[/b] Huh. |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] I believe -- |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] Where would he be? |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] I don't know -- |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] That's weird. |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] -- at the pub, you know? (laughs) |
|||
[b]Meesha:[/b] Did he show up in that scene at all or -- |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] No. |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] Or Fang? |
|||
[b]Scott:[/b] Doesn't sound like it. |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] Or Fang? |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] No. He didn't. He wasn't -- he wasn't in the movie very much at all. |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] Is Fang in the movie at all? |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] I'm sorry? |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] Fang. |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] I -- |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] Fang -- the boarhound. |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] Yeah. I -- I think he was there at one point, but I don't -- he -- |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] Oh. |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] -- he -- not very much. I mean, they were -- he was barely in the movie. He was there for the necklace scene the most and that's main -- mainly what I remember. I don't -- I just don't remember seeing much of Hagrid at all. |
|||
[b]Scott:[/b] That's odd. |
|||
[b]Meesha:[/b] Was he there at the end at all -- when they were doing like the -- the candlelight thing? |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] I believe he was, but I -- yeah, I think he was, but it was -- he didn't stand out unfortunately, (laughs) but I think -- I'm virtually certain the entire school was there. |
|||
[b]Meesha:[/b] Oh, okay. |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] So, yeah. But the person who stood out to me was McGonagall. She looked -- she -- she was the one who captured my eye. So ... |
|||
[b]Meesha:[/b] Yeah. Okay. I -- I want to ask you about when -- okay -- Harry chases Snape down -- do they actually duel or -- I mean -- is it just -- |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] I'm sorry? Oh, Harry and -- |
|||
[b]Meesha:[/b] When Harry chases down Snape and -- I mean -- do -- do they actually have a duel with Harry trying to -- |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] Yes. And actually, that was -- that was -- |
|||
[b]Meesha:[/b] -- send spells at him? |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] -- that was actually pretty good -- well done too. It -- the -- Harry tries to curse Snape -- we don't know with what, but he's -- he's ob -- he's throwing curses at him and the -- and -- and Snape has -- it deflects every single one of them. Like, he doesn't get hit by any of them. So -- |
|||
[b]Meesha:[/b] And how's Rick -- how's Rickman doing through all -- I mean, is he -- can you tell he's angry or -- |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] Yeah. He looks angry, but he also -- I think -- not enough -- for me, it wasn't quite enough. |
|||
[b]Meesha:[/b] Uh-huh. |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] It may have been for some people. It was - for me, it was -- he was a little -- a little too -- |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] [inaudible] |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] -- soft with Harry, you know what I mean? (laughs) But -- |
|||
[b]Meesha:[/b] Yeah. |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] But -- |
|||
[b]Meesha:[/b] Did they cut Buckbeak? |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] Yeah. (laughter) There's no-- there's no Buckbeak. There's no -- |
|||
[b]Meesha:[/b] Yeah. |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] -- Grawp either. |
|||
[b]Meesha:[/b] Yeah. Yeah. I kind of -- |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] He actually -- |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] At least I don't -- |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] -- just leaves? |
|||
(laughter) |
(laughter) |
||
[b]Meesha:[/b] So Snape -- |
|||
Scott: Big (red) letters … |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] Snape just -- |
|||
[b]Meesha:[/b] -- Snape just walks away. Nobody intervenes or whatever? He just walks away? |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] No. But then no one -- |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] What hap -- |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] -- really knew he was -- there was anything wrong with Snape in the book either until after -- until they got to the hospital wing, so ... |
|||
[b]Meesha:[/b] Uh-huh. |
|||
[b]Scott:[/b] Hmm. |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] You know, that wasn't out of character -- you know out of -- |
|||
[b]Meesha:[/b] Right. |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] -- [inaudible] wrong necessarily, you know, but no one seemed to know -- no -- none -- there was no teachers around or any -- no one was -- no one had caught up with them. It was just -- it was just Harry and Snape. And -- oh, Bella -- |
|||
[b]Meesha:[/b] Right. |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] -- and Bellatrix runs up and tries -- and -- and then curses Harry and -- and gets Harry and Harry -- so Harry is down on the ground by the -- when Ha -- when -- |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] Snape -- |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] -- Snape -- |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] [inaudible] |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] -- goes up to him -- |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] Yeah. |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] -- and says, you know -- says -- and says, you know, "you're as -- you -- you may have your mother's eyes, but you're -- you're as dim as your father" and then he says that -- "I am the Half-Blood Prince" or something like that. (laughs) And, I think -- |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] Ahh ... that's all he says? That's all he says about that? |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] Yeah. |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] He just says that he's -- |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] It wasn't [inaudible] -- |
|||
[b]Scott:[/b] Was there a line -- a line about not using my own spells against me or something along -- |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] No. |
|||
[b]Scott:[/b] -- those lines? |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] No. I didn't -- I didn't -- unless it -- unless I missed it, but I was lis -- I was listening for it so I -- I'm virtually certain it wasn't there. I was hoping -- |
|||
[b]Scott:[/b] Oh. Okay. |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] -- for it. I liked that line. (laughs) |
|||
[b]Meesha:[/b] Yeah. That -- |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] Yeah, me too. |
|||
[b]Meesha:[/b] -- was a good scene. |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] I thought it was good. I thought the whole -- actually, I -- I thought that they were going to keep that dialog from the book because I thought it was usable -- |
|||
[b]Meesha:[/b] Right. |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] -- but they didn't. So -- |
|||
[b]Meesha:[/b] Yeah. It -- it sounds like they watered it down a little bit and -- |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] I understand that they get -- |
|||
[b]Meesha:[/b] Yeah. |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] -- you know, they don't use things from the books because it -- |
|||
[b]Meesha:[/b] Right. |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] -- it can't -- more because it doesn't apply, but this applied. (laughs) |
|||
[b]Meesha:[/b] And that -- |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] You know? |
|||
[b]Meesha:[/b] Yeah. That -- that will probably make more sense when they get to Deathly Hallows too so ... yeah. |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] Yeah. Yeah. So ...[/fieldset][/expand] |

[*]Producer David Heyman [url=http://www.snitchseeker.com/harry-potter-news/exclusive-david-heyman-talks-dumbledore-s-funeral-hogwarts-battle-more-update-4-a-59248/]was interviewed[/url] about the film, one of the questions concerning the omissions at the end of the film: |
|||
[indent] As you know, Half-Blood Prince screenings were recently held in Chicago, which has given fans an idea what to expect come July 2009. Many were shocked to see the omission of the Battle at Hogwarts and Dumbledore's funeral. Can you explain why these scenes were left out? |
|||
DAVID HEYMAN: The reason why we left out the Battle at Hogwarts is because we have a battle at Hogwarts in the Seventh film and we are avoiding repetition. Dumbledore’s funeral was something that I really loved and is a fantastic part of the book and part of me would have loved it in the film. But we decided that while we loved it that what we came up with was the right ending for the film that we had made.[/indent][/list][/expand] |
|||
[expand=29. The Phoenix Lament][LIST][*]Test screening viewers tell us of the discovery of Dumbledore’s body |
|||
[indent]Harry then returns to find the whole school gathered around Dumbledore's body, McGonagall in the front completely stunned and silent. Harry kneels down at Dumbledore's side, brushes a hair out of his face and finds the locket, but does not open it. Clutching the locket He starts to cry and Ginny goes and holds him also crying. Then following McGonagall's lead, everyone lights there wand (I think they all murmur something in unison but I can't remember what) and slowly raise them as one in the air. Final shot of that scene is from above with all the lighted wands surrounding the tower, Dumbledore, Harry and Ginny |
|||
The scene with Dumbledore's body at the foot of the tower is very, very cool... I cried. Everyone is gathered around - I mean, lots of students, faculty, etc. Harry is next to the body, crying, and Ginny is comforting him - all of the others are keeping a respectful distance. Someone - I don't remember whom - raises their wand in the air, lighted up at the tip, and everyone else slowly follows suit as the camera pans out until all you can see are the lighted tips of the raised wands[/indent] |
|||
[*]Rachezee discussed this scene in [url=http://princewatch.mypodcast.com/2008/09/Episode_3_The_Birds_the_Wizard_and_the_Vanishing_Cabinet_Rachezee_Speaks_Part_1_of_a_Princewatch_Exclusive_Interview-145452.html]her appearance on PrinceWatch[/url]:[expand=PrinceWatch Transcript][fieldset=PrinceWatch episode 3] [b]Meesha:[/b]… and they’ve got the tribute to Dumbledore – was that like a candlelight vigil with their wands? |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] Yeah, yeah it was definitely like a ceremonial type of raising of their wands – you know what I mean? It – there was meaning behind it – so, it was good – it looked nice. (laughs) It’s not the funeral but I mean at the same time, I actually wasn’t expecting the funeral. I think the cost of getting all those people for it would have been enormous so – |
|||
[…] |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] And the scene at the bottom of the tower too like – and he sees the body at the bottom of the tower… |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] Yeah, and he fixes he – and he goes up to Dumbledore and he like fixes his hair or – moves the hair out of his face or something and then he starts to cry and then Ginny comes up… |
|||
[b]Scott:[/b] Was Dan good in that scene or was it another – “he was their friend” |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] No, he was good – he wasn’t screaming – |
|||
[b]Meesha:[/b] Oh, good |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] – he wasn’t overacting. I thought, well – this is just a personal opinion – I just thought that it looked slightly po – like Ginny was kind of holding him in an awkward way (laughs) like but it still was effective, you know what I mean? She was crying too… |
|||
[b]Scott:[/b] But the emotions were – were good, it was the… |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] Were there, yeah – I just remember thinking; she must be really uncomfortable (laughs) that was about it (laughs) |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] Was she like sobbing or like – sobbing or tearing or… |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] Yeah, sobbing – the quiet sobbing, you know what I mean? |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] Oh ok, that’s good |
|||
[b]Meesha:[/b] Yeah |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] But it’s truly a devas – you know it’s a devastating moment. I think they could have used Hagrid being there to say something but he wasn’t. |
|||
[b]Vince:[/b] But then if they put the music in there – the sad music that… |
|||
[b]Rachel:[/b] And that is what was missing is the – effective music for that scene would make all the difference in the world –[/fieldset][/expand] |
|||
Meesha: ‘Cause we have A LOT … |

|||
[*]Tonks and Remus’ part in this scene has presumably been cut, according to Nat Tena. |
|||
Rachel: There’s to coming back to it (laughs) |
|||
Vince: There’s no reason to see the movie after listening to this. |
|||
[*]There's a picture of Harry and McGonagall in Dumbledore’s Office assumed to be after the Battle. Harry appears to be holding the Elder Wand; Test screeners have noted this scene cut: |
|||
Scott: Yeah, but, you haven’t seen the visuals |
|||

|||
[expand=30. The White Tomb][LIST][*]There is a scene is the common room, according test screening viewers vague remembrances |
|||
[indent]No there is something in between but my memory of it is vague, I remember Harry standing alone looking at his dormitory, then he goes downstairs where Hermione Ginny and Ron, maybe Neville? Not sure, but they are sitting solemnly in the common room. One of them says "Harry's here" and they all turn to look, but I honestly can not remember what happens next but it was very brief. |
|||
I believe Hermione does asked Harry how he is doing regarding Sirius. This would be sometime during the scene in Ron's Room when they are all sitting on the floor (there is a picture floating around of this). My memory is that he answers with an "I'm fine" with an obvious sense of more meaning, but he did not want to talk about it, kind of thing. Otherwise I do not recall any other mention of him |
|||
Meesha: The other reason is to see it yourself … |
|||
No Eileen Prince, but then, Hermione was not actively trying to figure out who the prince was. As for more explaination at the end about the Half-Blood Prince, I did not hear any. However, there is the scene I somewhat missed due to those annoying girls babbling away next to me at the end with Harry coming down to the common room to join Hermione, Ron and Ginny. I don't know what they said. It may have been about the Prince. I just don't know. *grumbles*[/indent] |
|||
Rachel: But it’s so, but it’s actually…The best part of it actually is how visually pleasing it is, so |
|||
[*]Mad Eye Moody has been cut and will not appear in this scene. |
|||
Vince: Oh, yeah, I know … |
|||
Rachel: Yeah, it’s actually good. At least you do have something to truly look forward to (laughs) |
|||
[*]A reliable source seems to have confirms the rumour that the funeral was cut |
|||
Scott: Even if you absolutely hate the movie, with all the cuts and can’t overlook that, then at least you have a visually pleasing… |
|||
[indent]but Dumbledore's funeral has been cut.[/indent] |
|||
[*]However it seems it's just been "adapted" due to a comment made by Yates: |
|||
Vince: … |
|||
[indent]"The film's playfulness is going to be great, and Dumbledore's death will be quite moving. Steve has taken the funeral from the book and written a beautiful scene. One of Jo's recurring themes is death and loss, and even though the sixth movie is playful and funny, Steve has adapted that Half-Blood Prince scene in a very poignant, plaintive, and special way"[/indent] |
|||
[*][url=http://www.snitchseeker.com/harry-potter-news/virgin-media-previews-half-blood-prince-hints-new-revelation-58130/]Virgin Media’s preview[/url] stated there was a surprise at the end of the film. Whether it is a surprise for the book fans or for the movie-only fans, it is uncertain. |
|||
Meesha: Honestly, I feel a lot better now, ‘cause of things I was worried about, Rachel’s explained very well. |
|||
[indent]If you thought that you knew everything about Harry Potter then think again, producers have hinted that some new revelations about the boy wizard will be revealed in the closing minutes of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince! Ooooh...[/indent] |
|||
[*]Test screening viewers describe the last scene of the film |
|||
Scott: Yeah, like with … |
|||
[indent]The last scene begins with the four of them there. Harry and Hermione at first are the only ones we see looking out into the grounds discussing the locket. Ginny and Ron are behind them on the sculpture and when we see them as hermione reads RAB's note. |
|||
Speaking of the locket - some others have asked about RAB's note. In the very last scene with the Trio plus Ginny at the top of the astronomy tower, Harry and Hermione are talking and she says something like- "Its hard to believe that contains a piece of Voldemort's soul." |
|||
Vince: Definitely … |
|||
He says something like "actually it doesn't. Its a fake. Open it, see for yourself." |
|||
Meesha: It just did not look good in writing (laughs) |

Hermione opens it and finds the note and reads it for us all to hear. I am virtually certain the note is identically worded to the one in the book. Harry says he knows that RAB has the real locket and they have to find him, or it. (Ginny and Ron are sitting on a sculpture behind them quietly listening) Ron probably says something but I don't remember what, because at some point towards the very end he joins Harry and Hermione. |
|||
Harry then says he is going alone to find the Horcruxes. Hermione says something like, yeah right, you think your going alone? We are coming too. (major paraphrasing there) Then Ginny not saying a word sadly just walks away and leaves. She actually does not speak during the entire scene. Nor is she spoken to. She just listens looking sadder and increasingly heartbroken. |

Scott: Right (like with Harry … ) |

Revision as of 21:20, 17 December 2008
Due to its immense popularity, the list now has its own thread for your own convenience.
The list could never have been possible without [b][I]MasterOfDeath[/I][/b] starting it back in late 2007. From then on, it would come out once a month in the All Inclusive HBP Thread.
As it came more lengthy with more information flooding in, more people became involved: [I]ArryGrotter[/I], [I]lcbaseball22[/I], [i]meesha1971[/i], [I]Montse[/I], [I]houseelf25[/I] and [i]Rachezee[/i].
Thank you to all of these people! :)
[center]Welcome to the eleventh edition of the HBP list! We are at the 7 month mark in the countdown for this highly anticipated film and it is time for another update to the list. This list compiles everything we've heard about the film thus far from official announcements to script leaks to news stories to rumours. This list is a tribute to all the good times we've had in the [URL="http://www.cosforums.com/showthread.php?t=118638"]All Inclusive HBP Thread[/URL]and all the good friends we've made over the past 15 months and all the great discussions. This list is so we can have a reference and keep track of all the news in one place.
WARNING: Includes major spoilers from test screening reviews.
Note: Recently, some of our pictures have not been able to show up due to bandwidth errors. We’ve tried to overcome this problem these past months by changing all of our pictures’ links. To avoid the problem again, we ask you to please not hotlink any of the pictures, as it’ll cause the same problem and the pictures will not be able to be seen. Thank you :)
We hope you enjoy!

[EXPAND=General Comments][fieldset=]David Yates:
[indent]One thing we said when we finished "Order of the Phoenix" was that we want a very different experience next time around. We're very proud of this film, the intensity, the emotion and everything. One of the great things Jo Rowling does in the book is that she captures stages of childhood so the next stage of childhood is a bit more sex, drugs and rock and roll. [i](This was later clarified to be sex, [u]potions[/u] and rock and roll.)[/i]
It's about the kind of emotional and sexual politics of being a teenager. It's a very different swing, the next film. I think it needs to be for the series to keep evolving. In my work, every choice I've made I've always gone for something in the neurotically opposite direction. Once I've finished something, I've stayed keen to stay fresh as a story teller to try something different. The "Potter" world is so rich. They're so many things to play with in that world that it's possible to re-gear so the next one will be very different I think.
We'd be crazy not to take a look at the seventh book and not let us influence us as we're refining the sixth script. I think there may be things that could be really helpful so we'll be looking at it as soon as it comes out.
It’s going to be great to work with Kloves on Snape's ambiguity in the script.
The movie will be a cross between the chills of Prisoner of Azkaban and the fantastical adventure of Goblet of Fire.[/indent]
Daniel Radcliffe: [indent]I'm not going to be on autopilot. I've invested so much. We all want to make this film better than the last.
Expect to see several characters making out in the flick too. [/indent]
Alan Rickman [indent]Rickman refuses to talk about his character because he would not want to spoil the story.[/indent][/fieldset][/EXPAND] [expand=Test Screening Reactions][U][B]Negative:[/B][/U] [fieldset=]Jimbo Wage (Ain't it Cool News):
[indent]The problem with all of this romance is All of This Romance. It dominates the movie, drawing our focus away not only from major plot points – which fall disastrously through the cracks – but also deters the mood, which, in a (nearly) penultimate film, should be at the forefront.
The title of this film is Harry Potter and the HALF-BLOOD PRINCE but the title character gets next to no screen time and even less explanation, save for a few asides that, if you haven't read the book, may as well have been cut. Better to call the movie Harry Potter and the Hormones from Hedes and save us our disillusionment.
For a book based on Harry and Dumbledore's quest to find out more about Voldemort, and how to stop him, via his memories, all but three memories have been cut from the film. Why is it that the filmmakers decided it was more important to focus on teen-age love rather than what are inarguably critical plot points? It is aneurysm inducing logic that will surely leave me dead in my bathtub.
Anyone who has read the book (an incredible sum of folk who Warner Bros. seem to have forgotten are the target audience – either that or they have some personal vendetta against them) will be severely, SEVERELY disappointed with this film. Let's just hope that in the ten intervening months between now and the film's release, Warner's will take the time and the money to fix this incredible mess.
Sadly, I'm not holding my breath.[/indent]
Michael Bravo (Ain’t it Cool News):
[indent]This leads me to another problem I had with the film – the mystery as to who the Half-Blood Prince is takes a backseat to all the dating stuff. Some of it’s pleasant and funny, but it should have been background comic relief to help balance the drama in the forefront.
They have almost a year before this film is released, so there’s plenty of time for editing, which is good news because this cut was quite underwhelming. A woman in our post-screening discussion of about 20-25 people said she usually cries at movies, but didn’t react at all when Dumbledore died. Hopefully, the filmmakers will ease up on the relationship stuff and emphasize more of the potions book/Half-Blood Prince plot.[/indent]
trax_attacks (IMDB):
[indent]Overall, I found the movie to be .. rather odd. Where as the book gave me a "one last hoorah" feel, the movie just seemed out of place. They did a poor job balancing the main plot into the movie, and seemed to add much more romance than needed. It just didn't give me a "Harry Potter" feel at all. More like an "Inspired by Harry Potter and the HBP". Scenes were either cut or changed too much, and while the things that happened in the book are still there, some things are just completely altered. Characterization being one of the largest things. I accepted OotP, because I knew the book would be impossible to translate completely, and what they did include, they included perfectly. In this movie, I thought the book could be easily adapted. Instead they changed too much, and I could not understand the reasoning behind it. I was really excited to see this movie, seeing as it is my favorite book. The movie .. it just didn't do it for me. I'm a little less appreciative of Yates now, and I'm worried about DH. I'm praying justice is given to that book, as it ought to be.
I was so fed up with all the romance it just got annoying at some point. When I said "too much romance" ... I mean that almost every scene has an added bit of romance to it. It’s like I couldn't escape from it. It really just took over, and the seriousness of the plot just seemed to be drowned in this sea of romantic puns and subtleties. its not that I'm completely against the Romance, but there seemed to be so much. And since HBP really builds the plot bridge for DH, I was surprised they didn't focus so much on the very important plot, seeing as it is … well … important.[/indent][/fieldset] [U][B]Positive:[/B][/U] [fieldset=]Eric (Mugglenet): [indent]A lot of the things people seemed to dislike about the fifth HP film, such as vast amounts of time passing in visually appealing yet otherwise disappointing montages, does not happen in this. The film maintains its director’s neat visuals, however. Right from the initial Burrow scene, it is clear that Mr. Yates has not lost his creative edge and rather moved on to do different and wonderful things with the camera.
The entire movie seems to keep its pace, and I think one of the things that has helped the filmmakers is a clear-cut set of events spread almost evenly throughout the year in the book. There’s not too much stuff going on, rather just enough things at significant enough times of year so that they can document the full year without it feeling rushed. Again I mention the closeness of the movie to the book particularly. Some scenes are almost verbatim, but the ones that aren’t serve to really enhance the movie’s impact and its ability to stand alone as a film
Book Six has either too much snogging or too much Voldemort – neither of which I complained about and both which I rather enjoyed – but this movie completely balances the two quite nicely. It seems effortless almost. But there are really dark scenes and then there are very fun scenes. If you know the characters from having read the books, I think you’ll get more out of the movie than those who haven’t and that’s surprising to me. For the first time, it seems, the filmmakers have made a movie which is REALLY true to the characters of the book and almost not afraid to leave newcomers with the shorter stick.
Also important to mention is that this movie is in NO way, at all, in any shape or form, a children’s movie. … and it makes me so happy that they could make such an intense movie, because it gives me real hope for the adaptations of the seventh book. But I think you should think twice before bringing your kid brother to see it.
Such effort is spent on the characters of the trio throughout the course of the movie.[/indent]
Rachezee (LeakyLounge):
[indent]It is by far the most beautiful view of Hogwarts I have ever seen and completely different than previous movies. The views of the mountains are new and most of the outside landscape has been made far more majestic and beautiful. Though some of it was blue screened. Enough was left the same for continuity sake but many of the scenes we are used to in the movies now look far closer to what I imagined while reading than the way they have in the past few movies. … Whoever was in charge of the lighting for this film did a beyond superb job. I was not prepared for the beauty of this movie
I was really pleasantly surprised by this movie. Many of the changes were actually entertaining and Gambon has improved enough to be tolerable. It was so much better than Order of the Phoenix. Overall I really enjoyed this movie and can not wait to see it again.[/indent]

[indent]I wasn't really impressed with the Order of the Phoenix and was kinda skeptical about what David Yates would do with the 'Half Blood Prince' but I’m just blown away... it was so well put together and the re-introduction and growth of the characters was v.v.v.v.v impressive...!
They hit the nail bang on the head for the whole look and feel of the movie, the color scheme, the sets and cinematography was absolutely refreshing!!! It was a lil different from the previous movies and it WORKED!!!!
Get ready to see some noticeable changes in the sets, art production and general look of the movie ... they have been tweaked a bit, but in a very, very good way!! You will NOT be disappointed…
It was very refreshing and the cinematography and color scheme worked so well … it really drew you in ... reminiscent of how Azkaban plunged into such a different theme, compared to the first two movies..
The settings were eerily beautiful … it was so other-worldly … man, I wish I was living in it!!![/indent]
trax_attacks (IMDB):
[indent]The cinematography is beautiful, really beautiful. I wouldn't call it a drastic change from OotP though. Think of it this way. As much as OotP was blue, HBP is yellow. It has a very yellow color wash, and it fit well with the overall tone of the film. It seemed to be a lot darker as well. Low brightness and high contrasts, which is a combo I personally love (photo major), and it just looked great in my opinion. Best of the HP series by far.[/indent][/fieldset][/expand]

[*]A test screening attendee gave a description of the opening scenes: [indent]The movie opens with a scene from OOTP, of Dumbledore and Harry at the ministry on the night Sirius dies, standing in front of a barrage of flash bulbs. Then it transitions to the WB logo and Harry Potter (which looked even cooler than the last movie). Then it goes to an interior shot of an ultra modern office building overlooking the Millennium Bridge. There are [Death Eaters] flying through the air and then the bridge starts to wave violently and then collapses with lots of people on it.[/indent]

[*]More information came from the test screening
[indent]Bella does not question [Snape]'s loyalty. Is this perhaps to just try and trick the audience into thinking Snape really is unquestionably an evil git?
There is no insults or jibes between Bellatrix and Snape. The only thing I remember clearly is Bella goes to the mantle over the fire place and starts picking things up. Snape snaps at her to “Put that down” and something about being rude and Bella glares at him with a touch of humor but puts it down.
Snape does say that the Dark lord has already told him of the plan Narcissa is about to reveal and Bellatrix does seem surprised.[/indent]

[*]Some test screening viewers describe the films portrayal of Slughorn:
[indent]One of my largest concerns for the movie was getting to see Jim Broadbent as Horace Slughorn. Don’t worry. Throughout the movie, I was continuously impressed with how they adapted the character to the film, and to say that he does reflect my Slughorn from the books satisfactorily, with a little extra, is true. The scene where they meet Slughorn is surprisingly close to the events of the book, as is most of this movie, actually. I was surprised and delighted to see Couch-Slughorn put to film.
Dumbledore takes Harry along to slughorn's and at this point i thought i was getting a little wary considering slughorn wasn't at all like i imagined him to be... there's an illustration of slughorn in the book and that's more or less what i thought he would look like, whereas in the movie, he's much taller and a little thinner, and less indlugent and opulent looking..so i was a lil dissapointed by that, but trust me, as the movie goes on, that doesnt matter a bit because he fits in very well with the whole package...[/indent]

[*]The Slughorn chair transformation has been confirmed from the Mugglenet Set Report Teaser: [indent]The chair version of Slughorn was also in the pressroom. I quickly had a seat in it. I plopped myself down a little too quickly and unexpectedly sank into it. His pajamas (which were right next to the chair) match the cloth on the couch and the transformation should be something hysterical.[/indent]
[*]Yates said there was a comical scene where someone goes to draw the drapes and the entire curtain falls. This might be part of the scene in Slughorn's house.
[*]A picture of Dumbledore and Slughorn [url=http://www.mugglenet.com/app/news/full_story/1812]has surfaced[/url]
[img]http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd72/DarkIFaith/Half%20Blood%20Prince/ch4/SluggyandDD.jpg[/img]
[*]A test screening viewer describes this scene:
[indent]Dumbledore is repairing the damage to the muggle house Slughorn is staying in at the beginning of the movie. Slughorn does not help but just stands there looking amazed and astonished at the magic Dumbledore is performing for some reason. Like he has never seen magic before[/indent]
[*]A shot of Slughorn showing Harry the photos of famous wizards on his mantelpiece came from the ABC sneak peeks: [img]http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd72/DarkIFaith/Half%20Blood%20Prince/ch4/3photos.jpg[/img]
[*]Nina Voelker, who was cast as Wendy Slinkhard, explains what significance her original character plays in the film:
[indent]Only a very small role, Slinkhard Wendy is a former student of Professor Slughorn's and is now a published author, so I was in a picture with Professor Slughorn, played by Jim Broadbent, which I will dedicate in my book. This picture might be in Slughorn's house.[/indent]
[*]Slughorn will show Harry a picture of Lily, according to a test screening viewer: [indent]Slughorn does tell Harry that he has his mother's eyes in the beginning when Harry first meets him. Slughorn shows him a picture of Lily. I don't think I have mentioned this anywhere before, but the picture looked a lot like ginny. A lot. It was the first thing I thought when I saw it. Not in a bad way either, I mean you could tell it wasn't her, but it looked like her. Kind of in keeping with a lot of fan art I have seen in terms of similarities.[/indent]
[*]Gambon had been camping it up on set and word got out that they filmed Dumbledore saying the "I do love knitting patterns' line.
[*]Slughorn will shout "Alright! Alright" I'll take the job!" as Harry and Dumbledore leave his house like in the book.
[*]The second and third trailers (Oct and Nov) both showed Harry and Dumbledore apparating from Budliegh Babberton:

[expand=5. An Excess of Phlegm][list][*]The Burrow is confirmed as in the movie.
[*]Fleur Delacour and Bill have both been cut.
[*]Test Screening viewers describe Harry’s arrival:
[indent]It's actually another really cute part of the movie - Dumbledore tells Harry that his trunk and Hedwig are waiting for him at the Burrow (whilst they're still... wherever they are getting Slughorn) and then it cuts to the Burrow and Ginny comes downstairs and sees Harry's stuff and yells for her mom, wanting to know when Harry arrived. Molly sticks her head over the railing from one of the higher floors and tells her that Harry HASN'T arrived and Ginny says something about his stuff being there... then Ron sticks HIS head over the railing from higher up and says, 'Did someone say Harry? What about Harry?' and Ginny says, 'Is he up there with you?' and Ron says, 'I'd know if my best mate was here, wouldn't I?' and then the same thing happens with Hermione, and they all get downstairs just as Harry comes in.[/indent]

[*]Some additional support for this assumption is a quote from Leaky’s Set Report Teaser:
[indent]The romance bug is making its rounds in this film, with Dan speaking of a script direction indicating an “oddly charged” moment between Harry and Ginny when they first see each other in the burrow[/indent]
[*]Staying true to the book, according to the HPANA Set Report Teaser, the Weasley Clock will have all hands pointing to “Mortal Peril” [indent]and the Weasley's Burrow (complete with the family clock -- all hands pointing to "Mortal Peril").[/indent]
[*]A calendar picture showing the Weasley clock and the living room emerged: [expand=The Burrow][img]http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd72/DarkIFaith/Half%20Blood%20Prince/ch5/Burrow-2-1.jpg[/img][/expand]

[*]A test screening viewer describes this scene
[indent]This picture is when Harry first arrives at the burrow and Hermione and Ron tell him people are saying Dumbledore is not as sharp as he used to be.
I believe Hermione does asked Harry how he is doing regarding Sirius. This would be sometime during the scene in Ron's Room when they are all sitting on the floor. My memory is that he answers with an "I'm fine" with an obvious sense of more meaning, but he did not want to talk about it, kind of thing. Otherwise I do not recall any other mention of Sirius[/indent]
[*]A scene between Ron and Hermione was noted by a test screening viewer [indent]At the Burrow, there is some tension between Ron and Hermione when Ron wipes spearmint toothpaste off of Hermione's cheek.[/indent][/list][/expand] [expand=6. Draco's Detour][list][*]We have received some info about these scenes from a [url=http://www.leakylounge.com/Visit-HBP-filmset-t60162.html&pid=1605639&mode=threaded#entry1605639]fan set report[/url]. Firstly, Diagon Alley will be seen again and Ollivander's has been destroyed: [indent]We walked around Diagon Alley. Ollivander's had been destroyed, all the windows were smashed and it was trashed. The shops had complete interiors in case the camera caught a glimpse inside by accident. Quality Quidditch supplies had a Quidditch equipment display, uniforms on dummies and drawers full of clothing. Florean Fortescue's had fake ice cream sundaes lining the walls on shelves. Flourish and Blotts had hundreds of books inside the doorway piled up and on shelves. The large books in the windows are actually Watford phone directories covered![/indent]
[*]The empty Ollivanders shop will be visited, according to Mugglenet’s test screening review [indent]Ollivander’s shop is empty. Can you believe they mention it? They do. They even have time to walk inside and feel sad.[/indent]
[*]More info from the [url=http://www.leakylounge.com/Visit-HBP-filmset-t60162.html&pid=1605639&mode=threaded#entry1605639]fan set report[/url] tells us that WWW Joke Shop is in the movie: [indent]But WWW stood out in bright orange with a curved front door. It was the most wonderful place. It was like every dream you had as a kid. There were skiving snack boxes, puking pastels, U-No-Poo, sweets from floor to ceiling. It had a set of stairs winding up the middle and was three floors high. The detail was amazing; the shelves were crooked with brightly coloured goods on every surface. It was truly breath taking. At the end of our tour we watched them filming a scene there. When you see the scene where Fred and George are talking to Ron on the stairs, he asks how much for an item, they say '5 galleons', Ron says 'but I'm your brother' and they say '10 galleons'. Well I am standing behind the stairs (out of sight) by the door! It took eight takes just for that few seconds and I was told they only complete 2 minutes of film a day[/indent]
[*]A reliable source gave us the script for the WWW scene; shots of the shop were seen in the ABC sneak peeks: [fieldset=HBP script] 24 - INT. WEASLEY'S WIZARD WHEEZES - DIAGON ALLEY - DAY
CLOSE ON a SHOPPING BAG, bearing Weasley's Wizard Wheezes, clutched in the hand of a boy being pulled by his mother through the throng packed sardine-tight in the store. It's utter madness: Ever-Bashing Boomerangs whip through the air, Dr. Filibuster's Fabulous Wet-Start No-Heat fireworks spit sparks, and Nose-Biting Teacups bare tiny porcelain teeth. FRED & GEORGE WEASLEY, in SCREAMING MAGENTA, stand upon a counter, selling to the masses:
FRED/GEORGE Step up! Step up!
GEORGE We've got Fainting Fancy...
FRED Nosebleed Nougats...
GEORGE And just in time for school...
FRED Puking Pastilles!
A BOY stops chewing, turns PALE GREEN--literally.
FRED/GEORGE Into the cauldron, handsome
Together, with the tips of their toes, Fred and George launch a SLOSHING CAULDRON down the counter, drop down on either side of Harry, begin to steer him through the store.
FRED What'd you think, Harry?
HARRY Amazing.
GEORGE (to a browsing boy) Pocket that and you'll pay in more than Galleons, my friend.
FRED/GEORGE We've got eyes in the back of our heads. [img]http://i377.photobucket.com/albums/oo211/hbplist/ch6/6www.jpg[/img]
The boy, working a SCREAMING YO YO, blanches as Fred and George turn, reveal they do in fact have EYES IN THE BACK OF THEIR HEADS--phony, but unnerving. As the EYES WINK, the tiny boy bolts.
GEORGE Bloody urchins.
Harry eyes a display of ORANGE AND BLACK LUMPS.
HARRY Peruvian Instant Darkness Powder?
FRED A real money spinner that.
GEORGE Handy if you need to make a quick escape. Hello ladies!
George drops one of the lumps in Harry's hand, turns to Ginny and Hermione, who peruse a display of "Wonder Witch Love Potions." [img]http://i377.photobucket.com/albums/oo211/hbplist/ch6/6www2.jpg[/img]
GEORGE (cont'd)
Yes, they really work.
FRED Then again, the way we hear it, sis, you're doing just fine on your own.
GINNY Meaning?
GEORGE Are you not currently dating Dean Thomas?
Harry pretends to consider a rack of "Ten-Second Pimple Vanisher," but secretly eavesdrops.
GINNY None of your business.
HERMIONE These are adorable.
Inside a cage, small round BALLS of FLUFF roll about, SQUEAK.
FRED Aren't they? Pygmy Puffs. Can't breed them fast enough.
Just then, a HUGE BOY (CORMAC MCLAGGEN) passes behind Hermione and, with his eyes, takes the full measure of her. Noticing, she turns, receives a faint smile as he moves on.
RON How much for this?
A TINY WOODEN MAN ascends a TINY GALLOWS and...DROPS. George rides a rolling ladder into FRAME, drops next to Fred.
FRED/GEORGE Five Galleons.
RON How much for me?
FRED/GEORGE Five Galleons.
RON But I'm your brother!
FRED/GEORGE Ten Galleons.
RON C'mon. Let's go.
The trio head for the door, passing LAVENDER BROWN, who smiles flirtatiously at an oblivious Ron.
LAVENDER BROWN Hi, Ron.
RON Hi.[/fieldset]

Saw Borgin and Burkes that way. The vanishing cabinet was in the centre, it was dark wood with a slanted roof. There were lots of skulls and creepy looking objects – even creepier due to the lack of lighting. There were wanted posters on the alley walls for Bellatrix and the Carrows.[/indent]
[*]A test screening viewer describes the Borgin and Burkes scene [indent]Yes we see draco in Borgin and Burkes, greyback is there too. The trio actually follow Draco and Narcissa to the shop (did I mention, there is no scene at Madame Malkins, some of you have asked). So Narcissa actually accompanies Draco. There are very unique camera angles over Knockturn Alley and Borgin and Burkes for this scene. It is fairly well done. Though Hermione does not go in.
We didn't actually see the inside of Borgin and Burke's except through a dirty window, and it's Fenrir Greyback that pulls down the shade.[/indent][/list][/expand] [expand=7.

[*]A script of this scene emerged from a reliable source; screenshots of this scene came from the second trailer, released October: [fieldset=HBP script] MALFOY Let's just say I don't think you'll be seeing me wasting my time in Charms Class next year.
Confused, Pansy glances at Blaise, who snorts derisively.
MALFOY (CONT'D) Amused, Blaise? We'll see just who's laughing in the end.
Blaise shakes his head, smiling as he looks out the window at the darkness. Just then the small bag in the upper rack shifts. Malfoy's eyes play over it.
33 - EXT. STATION - DUSK/EVENING
The Hogwarts Express steams into the station.
34 - INT. AISLE - HOGWARTS EXPRESS - SAME TIME - DUSK/EVENING
Ron and Hermione step into the crowded aisle.
HERMIONE Where's Harry?
RON Probably on the platform. C'mon.
35 - INT. COMPARTMENT - DUSK/EVENING
As Blaise and Pansy make to exit, Malfoy takes down the small bag, grips the handle thoughtfully.
MALFOY You two go on. I want to check something.
Malfoy slides shut the door. LETS THE BLINDS DOWN. A beat.
MALFOY (CONT'D) Didn't mummy ever tell you it's bad manners to eavesdrop, Potter? Petrificus Totalus!
Malfoy wheels, points his wand at the luggage rack. Something hits the floor with a THUMP. The Invisibility Cloak slips away and reveals Harry, paralyzed on the floor. Malfoy grins.
MALFOY (CONT'D) Oh, right, she was dead before you could wipe the drool off your chin.
Malfoy brings his boot down hard on Harry's face. SNAP! Blood squirts from Harry's nose. Malfoy snatches up the Invisibility cloak, pitches it over Harry. [IMG]http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n93/phoenixgurl25/HBPList/hbp.jpg[/IMG]
MALFOY (CONT'D) Enjoy the ride back to London.
36 - EXT. STATION - MOMENTS LATER - EVENING
Malfoy steps off, pulls his cloak tight and disappears into the night. Softly, a SOUND rises, of a GIRL LIGHTLY HUMMING and we CUT TO a...
37 - INTO. AISLE - HOGWARTS EXPRESS - EVENING
...STRANGE MOVING POV - HALF RED/HALF BLUE
Luna Lovegood wanders down the aisle HUMMING, red and blue Spectrespecs wobbling on the bridge of her nose. Up ahead one compartment's BLINDS are shut. Luna stops HUMMING. Cocks her head curiously. As she does, the LIGHT from an overhead lantern kicks off the cheap plastic lenses of her glasses and, for the briefest of seconds, a FLUTTERING CLOUD appears.
Of tiny insects. Or pixie dust. Or a trick of the light.
38 - INT. COMPARTMENT - SAME TIME - EVENING
Luna's SILHOUETTE SWELLS over the blinds, then the door opens. She calmly draws her wand and sends forth a blast of RED LIGHT. The Invisibility Cload slithers from Harry's body.
LUNA Hello, Harry.
HARRY Luna. How'd you..?
LUNA Wrackspurts. Your head's full of them.[/fieldset]
[*]A test screening viewer commented on this scene: [indent]I do not remember seeing alot of blood, but I think the blood might be added in with cgi. But we also experience the stomping from Harry's point of view as though we are lying on the ground and Draco is stomping on us. It was a very effective scene though, although I remember the audience gasping. In the following scene luna offers to repair his nose, and Harry asks something like, "Have you ever repaired a broken nose before?" so we do know that is was broken. (Luna fixes it without a hitch)[/indent]

[b]Meesha:[/b] Oh. Oh, that’s cool.
[b]Rachel:[/b] So, he kinda stomps on you, if you know what I mean (laughs)
[b]Meesha:[/b] Yeah

[b]Scott:[/b] Yeah (laughs)
[b]Meesha:[/b] The big foot coming down, yeah.

[b]Vince:[/b] Oh! That’s good – something.
[b]Meesha:[/b] Yeah.
[b]Rachel:[/b] Yeah. And that’s – that’s what pulls it off is it’s – I thing they put a snap in the script, you know what I mean, and it was a – it was a – (It sounded great)
[b]Vince:[/b] Oh, they did? A snap?
[b]Scott:[/b] Hm.
[b]Rachel:[/b] Well that’s what they say in the script leak.
[b]Vince:[/b] Oh, in the script. But in the movie, you can’t hear a little snap?
[b]Rachel:[/b] We hear something that sounds gross you know…
[b]Vince:[/b] Ah.
[b]Meesha:[/b] Sounds like a bone breaking.
[b]Rachel:[/b] Something you won’t want happening to you (laughs)
[…]
[b]Rachel:[/b] The only – the only problem with this scene is potentially that – is that – so, you know, Luna can see through an Invisibility Cloak with Spectrespecs. You know (laughs) –
[b]Vince:[/b] Yeah.
[b]Rachel:[/b] – it is one of the Deathly Hallows, so… (laughs) But – so …

[b]Scott:[/b] Oh.
[b]Rachel:[/b] – doesn’t make him completely invisible.
[b]Scott:[/b] I just thought she saw the things kinda floating around in the air with…
[b]Vince:[/b] Ambiguous, then eh?
[b]Rachel:[/b] She does. But then – But she – But she knows that something’s there.
[b]Scott:[/b] OK. But yeah, yeah, I see what you’re saying. She can see the things floating around his head. Kind of.
(laughter)
[b]Scott:[/b] So…
[b]Vince:[/b] It’s ambiguous. It sounds like it’s ambiguous, like…
[b]Scott:[/b] Yeah.
[b]Vince:[/b] … not sure really, like – it…
[b]Rachel:[/b] Yeah, it doesn’t look like anyone –
[b]Vince:[/b] Luna …
[b]Rachel:[/b] – It doesn’t look like anyone. It looks like, you know, a really small form of flies maybe. Colourful flies, maybe, you know what I mean? It doesn’t – It doesn’t…
[b]Vince:[/b] So I guess they’re real then?
(laughter)
[b]Scott:[/b] I suppose so.
[b]Rachel:[/b] Well they are seen through Spectrespecs, so (laughs)
[b]Vince:[/b] Yeah.
[b]Scott:[/b] So, the train then, isn’t about to leave. It doesn’t appear it’s pulling out and he gets found, you know, before he’s – you know, off, and gonna miss the feast. It –It’s like she discovers him right away as they...?
[b]Rachel:[/b] Yeah. Yeah – they’re not too far. I mean they’re – they’re definitely behind everyone else, but they’re not – they’re not superbly behind. They – they make it to the feast. Well they at least – they make it to the announcements…[/fieldset][/expand]

The Half-Blood Prince][list][*]The scene where McGonagall hands out course schedules and Harry decides to continue potions has been filmed. [indent]A source from the set today revealed to me that the scene being shot was Professor McGonagall telling Ron and Harry that they can take Potions for their NEWTS. This scene involved 200 extras, ranging from First Years to Seventh Years.[/indent]
[*]A shot of Hogwarts students and McGonagall in a corridor featured in the teaser trailer, part of the above shoot: [IMG]http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n93/phoenixgurl25/HBPList/hallway.jpg[/IMG]
[*]A test screening attendee describes this scene [indent]That is the first day of classes. McGonagall spots Harry and Ron along the wall, just chilling, acting like teenage boys, and calls to Harry and asks him what he is doing. He tells her he and Ron have a free period. And she asks him why he isn't in potions. She goes through the same explanation as in the book about how he can take potions now that Snape is not teaching it. That she says something funny, like "go take Mr. Weasley with you, he is enjoying himself a little too much over there." (major paraphrasing)[/indent]

[b]Rachel:[/b] No. No, In fact that was the only mention of the OWLs what so ever that – I was almost surprised they talked about them but didn’t talk about them. (laughs)

[*]Hermione will describe the Amortenia potion as in the book and reference a Ron/Hermione scene from earlier [indent]When Hermione is around the Amortentia, the last thing she trails off with is that she can smell spearmint toothpaste[/indent]
[*]A test screening attendee has given some details regarding the Potions class scene: [INDENT]Now to the subject of how Harry gets the potions book. Harry and Ron arrive in potions, and Slughorn tells them to go to the cabinet to take one of the extra copies he has. They open the cabinet which has several ratty old books and one virtually new one. Harry and Ron scramble in a typical teenagish way for the nice copy, which of course, Ron gets, leaving Harry to settle for one of the tattered old ones. When they begin to make the Draught of Living Death we see Harry open his books and the camera pans over the marked up pages.
They all start to make there potion and we see Hermione and Ron struggling to cut up the sopophorous bean. The camera then shows us the handwritten addition in the book (Harry may read it to himself out loud, I can’t remember for certain) “Crush with flat side of dagger, releases juice better than cutting.” After he crushes the bean, looking excited, Hermione, whose hair is becoming increasingly messy, frizzy and puffy, leans to him and asks him how he is doing that. He tells her what the handwritten instruction says to do, and she says something like, “but that not in the official instructions” and starts rereading her own book frantically.
When Slughorn later declares Harry the winner and presents him with the Felix Felicis in front of the class, Ron and Hermione look annoyed and the whole class claps very unenthusiastically, while Harry with a huge shameless grin on his face accepts the bottle of potion. [/INDENT]

[b]Meesha:[/b] They’ve actually been using non-verbals the whole time, so …
[b]Scott:[/b] Yeah
[b]Rachel:[/b] In fact – in fact it was used a lot during the movie and I couldn’t actually tell if anything was going to be added later. ‘Cause it seems like there were – there were times that – that there should have been words, like… I – I thought it – And they just didn’t use them at all. But – and there’s a lot of epic – then again through out the movies there’s always been, like, spouts of magic without wands and weird things like that (laughs)[/fieldset]
[*]There will be a scene where the trio sit around the common room and discuss the Prince's book:

[*]A test screen viewer has described the context of this scene: [INDENT]Later in the common room the trio sit around (Ginny is somewhere around) and Harry is reading the Potions book. He notices the spell for Sectum Sempra and tries to show this to Hermione and Ron. Hermione gets upset/annoyed and says that she wants to see whose book it was. She jumps up and tries to grab in from him. Harry holds it back out of her reach but Ginny who comes from behind Harry grabs it and backs away and says she also wants to know who wrote that stuff in the book. She quickly flicks to the back and then reads out loud, “This book is the property of the Half-Blood Prince.”[/INDENT][/list][/expand] [expand=10. The House of Gaunt][list][*]At the U.S. OOTP premiere at Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles, director David Yates told us that they are currently working on paring down the many memories in Half-Blood Prince to a workable film format: [indent]"We're making a decision right now to compress those a wee bit, but we've still got some really cool ones. We've got, you know, the wonderful thing is seeing Riddle as a child, which is really scary, and I've found a really interesting kid to play Riddle. I can't tell you who it is yet -- it's early days."[/indent]
[*]Producer David Heyman later expanded on Yates's comments: [indent]"There will be memories, but not as many as there are in the book." When I asked which ones they're cutting, he said, "I can't say that yet because it's still a work in progress. We haven't locked up the script yet."[/indent]
[*]The Gaunt scene seems to be cut as Yates recently said that they have only “2 or 3 memories” [indent]In the books, the memories were a very big part of JK Rowling's story. We've actually pared them down in our story, and she was very supportive of that decision. They're such an enjoyable part of reading the Half-Blood Prince. But we've kind of distilled them down to two or three memories to try to keep everything more in the moment. Flashbacks in movies are tricky things; they tend to hold up the momentum of the story you're telling.[/indent] http://i377.photobucket.com/albums/oo211/hbplist/Ch1/1diagonalley.jpg
[*]Test screening viewers confirm that the Gaunts are cut and that the “2 or 3” memories are the orphanage and the fake and real horcrux memories.[/list][/expand] [expand=11. Hermione's Helping Hand][list][*]It appears the Quidditch Tryouts will be included in HBP, based on Devon Murray's (Seamus) comments: [indent]Devon says that he's hardly in Half-Blood Prince, but still has a bit of fun (says Seamus is the stupidest wizard in all of Hogwarts, in his opinion); there might be some pyromania with his character and he mentions Seamus trying out for Quidditch trials in the sixth film and doing a bad job at flying.[/indent]

[*]A section of script was leaked on IMDB about a scene in the Three Broomsticks [fieldset=HBP script]53 INT. THREE BROOMSTICKS - LATER - DAY
As the trio enter, Harry glances round, locates Slughorn at the bar, planted plumply on a stool.
HARRY No. Over here.
Hermione and Ron, in the midst of seating themselves at a perfectly acceptable---and clean---table, see Harry seat himself at one strewn with detritus of a previous customer--but which puts him in direct view of Slughorn. They exchange a glance, shrug, join Harry. Ron starts to take the chair directly opposite Harry--blocking his view.
HARRY (CONT'D) No, no. Sit next to me.
Ron stops, exchanges another glance with Hermione.
RON O-kay.
A SKINNY KID in an apron appears, tosses a FILTHY RAG upon the table--which begins to wipe the surface on its own. Harry cranes his neck around the kid to keep Slughorn in view.
SKINNY KID What'll we have?
HERMIONE Three Butterbeers. Splash of ginger in mine, please.
The kid WHISTLES and the rag leaps back into his pocket. Harry continues to eye Slughorn, when he sees Draco. They lock eyes briefly, then Draco exits.
RON Aw, bloody hell...
Harry turns, and sees Ron glowering at Ginny who sits in a dark corner with Dean, their faces lit by a guttering candle.
HERMIONE Oh, honestly Ronald. They're just holding hands... (as Dean kisses Ginny) And snogging.
RON I'd like to leave.
HERMIONE Leave? You can't be serious.
RON That happens to be my sister.
HERMIONE So? What if she looked over here and saw you snogging me? Would you expect her to get up and leave?
Ron blinks, utterly speechless. Then:
SLUGHORN Harry, m'boy!
Slughorn's voice BOOMS so loudly even Ginny jumps--and catches Harry looking. As Slughorn waddles over, SLOSHING mug in hand, Harry rises immediately--an action so grossly out of character that Hermione regards him with amused curiosity.
HARRY Hello, sir. Wonderful to see you.
Hermione, brow wrinkling, turns to Ron, silently mouths: wonderful to see you?
HARRY (CONT'D) So what brings you here, sir?
SLUGHORN Oh, the Three Broomsticks and I go way back. Longer than I'd care to admit. In fact I remember when it was simply One Broomstick!
As Slughorn GUFFAWS, Harry joins in, LAUGHING HEARTILY as well. Slughorn's belly trembles next to Hermione's cheek and his waving mug sloshes over, spattering the table.
SLUGHORN (CONT'D) Oops! All hands on deck, Granger!
Hermione smiles thinly, when a WHISTLE is heard and the FILTHY RAG is back, whisking away Slughorn's mess as the SKINNY KID slides three foaming mugs onto the table. (In the b.g. Katie Bell emerges from the back, starts for the exit. Her friend LEANNE follows her out.)
SLUGHORN (CONT'D) Listen, m'boy. In the old days, I used to throw together the occasional supper and invite a select student or two. Would you be game.
HARRY I'd consider it an honor, sir.
SLUGHORN You'd be welcome too, Granger.
Hermione in the midst of emptying her Butterbeer in one long draw, SLAMS down her mug--leaving behind a "mustache."
HERMIONE Be delighted, sir.
SLUGHORN Brilliant. Look for my owl. (exiting, to Ron) Good to see you, Wallenby.
Ron frowns as Slughorn waddles away, turns to Harry.
RON What're you playing at?
HARRY Dumbledore asked me to...get to know him.
RON Get to know him?
HARRY Dunno. But it must be important. Otherwise Dumbledore wouldn't ask.
Slam! Ron turns, see that Hermione has emptied his mug as well. Ron gestures to her upper lip.
RON Um...You've got a little...
Without a thought, she flicks her tongue up, wipes it clean.[/fieldset]
[*]There is a small scene ‘at the beginning’ concerning Ginny’s relationship with Dean: [indent]During Dan's interview, he commented about a scene where Ron says, in the beginning of the movie - while Ginny is dating Dean Thomas: "You have to hate anyone who goes out with their sister as a matter of principle." Harry, a bit ashamed, answers: “Yeah, I suppose so…."[/indent]

[*]A picture of Harry and Hermione in the snow has been released, possibly during this sequence: [IMG]http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll156/Arry3G/listpics/HarryandHermionesnow.jpg[/IMG]
[*]A test screening viewer describes the scene:
[indent]It was truly chilling, the girl playing Leanne had an outrageous scream. I wouldn't be surprised if they actually toned it down with a voice over or something for the actual movie. It happens almost exactly as its described in the book, although Hagrid seems to appear "just in the nick of time". We see Katie and Leanne fighting over the necklace, Leanne telling Katie it was a mistake to take it. Then, Katie is suddenly lifted into the air and we see her head awkwardly go back and we can see inside her mouth. It was kind of awkward, in a good way though.[/indent]
[*]Another test screening viewer describes this scene more in detail: [indent] Just like in the book we see the trio walking back along a snow covered lane, with Katie Bell and Leanne a little ahead of them arguing. Leanne says something like, you should never have taken it and then Katie collapses and Leanne screams.
Just as the trio run forward to help Katie rises very high up into the air, with her arms stretched out the side and her head all the way back and her mouth wide open. We can see every single tooth of her top row of teeth (the audience laughed at that so I wonder if it will be cut). She hangs up there for a moment, then comes crashing to the ground.
Hagrid comes out of no where yell, get back picks her up shaking her slightly shouting Katie! Then Harry notices the necklace on the ground which has fallen out of the package. Hagrid yells "don't touch it!" and takes Katie.
I really can't remember if Harry picks it up with the packaging around it or if that is my knowledge of the book tainting my memory of the scene, but Everyone seems to end up in the entrance hall (or it looked like an entrance hall which was nice because previous HP movies never really had an indoor one) and McGonagall is there and is given the necklace which Snape, who runs up, picks up the necklace, using his wand.
Then McGonagall asks Leanne (who looks a little too similar to Cho Chang, who, for those who wondered, is not in the movie) what happened who says that Katie said she had to bring the package to Dumbledore, but wouldn't say who gave it to her.
Then McGonagall's attention turns to the trio who is standing a bit behind Leanne and says something like "Now why is it that when something bad happens you three always seem to be present?"
Ron says something like "Believe me professor I really wish we weren't."
Harry then says he thinks that it was Draco, and Hermione and Ron stare at him and possibly say something but I don't remember. McGonagall says that is a very serious accusation, and Snape who is watching says "And just what is your evidence?" in his slow deep demanding voice.
Harry admits he doesn't have any. He may have said more, but I can't remember as I think my memory of what happened in the book might have me misremembering the rest of his words.[/indent]

[*]A picture of Harry and Slughorn has emerged.

[b]Rachel:[/b] Yeah
[b]Scott:[/b] And, what’s the context of that, and – when does it occur?
[b]Rachel:[/b] The context is basically that – there’s also in the script leak, Harry talks about it, Dumbledore does say to Harry that he wants him to allow Slughorn – Slughorn to collect him.[/fieldset][/list][/expand] [expand=14.

[IMG]http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll156/Arry3G/listpics/BreakfastinGreatHall.jpg[/IMG]
[*]A test screening viewer describes this picture:
[INDENT]This picture is before Rons first Quidditch game (the only one shown) and he is scared to death. I think he is saying here how he plans on quitting. Thats when Harry pretends to slip him the FF potion but it is Luna who notices and says something not Hermione. Hermione does not get as mad as she does in the book either.[/INDENT]
[*]A description of this scene in the Great Hall has been released from the Daily Snitcher Set Report, probably scene 59, which the last line of dialogue is in the below script leak: [indent]Once we had learnt all of this information filming of the scene was again about to start. "Take 11" was called along with "Action" and the scene began. Harry, Hermione, Ron and Luna are sitting on the Gryffindor table alongside all of the other Gryffindor students. Ron asks Hermione how the dinner party was the night before, to which Hermione responds. Ron, feeling a little miffed, believes that Hermione is going to ask McClaggen to go to Slughorn's party; however Hermione shocks him by stating that she was in fact going to ask him to go. Luna, wearing a Gryffindor lion's head headdress is shocked to see Harry put something into Ron's drink, to which she believes is Felix Felicis. Cue Lavender who comes onto the scene, whispers into Ron's ear and states that he will be great, to which Ron feels revitalised and exclaims they have a match to wins and leaves.[/indent]

[*]A reliable source on IMDB has leaked a scene from the script about this Quidditch scene; shots of the scene came from the third trailer, released November:
[fieldset=HBP script leak] RON (CONT’D)
C'mon, Harry. We've got a game to win.
CLOSE UP - QUAFFLE, as it ROCKETS into the AIR...
60 – EXT. QUIDDITCH PITCH - DAY
Instantly, Slytherin snatches the Quaffle and rushes en masse toward Gryffindor's end, weaving and passing with wicked skill, culminating in a vicious, slicing shot on goal. Just when it appears it will clear the hoop, Ron streaks out of nowhere and sends the Quaffle screaming in the opposite direction. [IMG]http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll156/Arry3G/listpics/sc39.jpg[/IMG]
Ginny pauses on her broom, stunned.
GINNY What's gotten into him?
She glances up at Harry, circling high above and he grins. Just then, Dean streaks by:
DEAN Ginny! Let's go!
Instantly, she rolls backwards, jets off and races down her fellow Chasers. Flying in spread formation, [IMG]http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll156/Arry3G/listpics/sc38.jpg[/IMG]
Dean--on the far wing--starts the Quaffle "up the line" until it lands in Ginny's hand. Pitching herself into a wide slide to avoid a PAIR of WHISTLING BLUDGERS, she leans recklessly off her broom and whips the Quaffle through the goal untouched.
As the CROWD SCREAMS, Harry eyes the Gryffindor section, where Luna's LION HAT ROARS, Lavender CLAPS for Ron and Hermione sits with her arms crossed, a look of supreme annoyance on her face. Harry grins, jets off.
61 – INT. GRYFFINDOR COMMOM ROOM - NIGHT
The room teems with students celebrating Gryffindor's victory. It feels like Mardi Gras. Or a mosh pit. Or a riot. And Ron is right smack in the middle of it. [IMG]http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll156/Arry3G/listpics/14ron.jpg[/IMG]
CROWD
Weasley! Weasley! Weasley!
[IMG]http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll156/Arry3G/listpics/14weasley.jpg[/IMG]
Harry takes his backslaps on the periphery, smiling as he sips a Butterbeer and enjoys Ron's turn in the spotlight.
HERMIONE Ron seems to be enjoying himself.
HARRY Yep. Apparently it's his lucky day.[/fieldset]
[*]Test screening viewers talk of when Ron finds out about NOT having taken Felix [indent]Harry tells Hermione the truth after the match, with a great line about it being 'almost as unfair as a Confundus Charm'.[/indent]
[*]Won Won and Lav-Lav’s relationship has been confirmed by many sources and they will kiss many times.
[*]Information of their first kiss came from test screening reviews
[indent] As far as the kiss... they get the Harry/Ginny kiss everyone was hoping for as described in the book. She runs at Ron after the Quidditch victory and jumps on him and kisses him... actually kind of looks like she's trying to eat his face (it's PERFECT - I promise!)... but it just... works, you know? It's a good scene, and the two of them seem to work well together! The first kiss of Lavender and Ron was witnessed by both Harry and Hermione. Harry watches with a stupid boyish grin and Hermione faces slowly turns from a smile to looking utterly heartbroken. She quietly turns away to leave, and just as she leaves Harry turns and notices. She is far less angry than she is just heartbroken. She does send the birds she conjures at Ron but she is not so much furious as she is crushed and hurt[/indent]
[*]A picture of Lavender grabbing Ron after the match came from the ABC sneak peeks; a shot of Ron and Lavender’s kiss came from the second trailer, released October; a shot of them together after the kiss [url=http://www.mugglenet.com/app/news/full_story/1815]has surfaced[/url]: [IMG]http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll156/Arry3G/listpics/14kiss.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll156/Arry3G/listpics/normal_hbp_promo_trailer2_093.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll156/Arry3G/listpics/RonandLavender.jpg[/IMG]

[indent]In this scene, Harry tries to console his friend but the job becomes infinitely harder when Ron and Lavender come bumbling into this dark corner of Hogwarts looking for a place to snog. Hermione shoos them away with a magical gust of wind, then weeps harder[/indent]
[*]Hermione will mention that she can tell Harry likes Ginny [indent]Hermione mentions it to Harry when he's comforting her after she sends the birds after Ron in the empty classroom - she asks him if it hurts him to see Ginny with Dean as badly as it hurts her to see Ron with Lavender... she says she's "seen the way he (Harry) looks at her (Ginny)" and knows he loves her...[/indent][/list][/expand] [expand=15.

[fieldset=PrinceWatch episode 3][b]Meesha:[/b]But he’s sitting on his bed, in his pyjamas. Do you know what was going on there? ‘Cause he – he looks upset…
[b]Rachel:[/b] I’m trying to find this picture really quick – it’s still loading – I’m sure where this picture is actually. I’m not sure – it probably -… probably was – he was upset that he wasn’t in the Slug Club, so –
[b]Meesha:[/b] Ah. Ok.
[b]Rachel:[/b] – so I’m sure that’s probably what it’s about.
[b]Meesha:[/b] That makes sense.
[b]Vince:[/b] Oh, Poor Neville. Oh, Poor Neville.
[b]Rachel:[/b] Yeah. So without seeing it, that’s probably what it – that would be my guess ‘cause – he does talk about it with Harry later, like, and that’s why he becomes a steward at the party, instead of – a server, what ever it is, at the party. And he serves, like, food (laughs)[/fieldset]
[*]Mugglenet confirms the inclusion of Slughorn's Christmas Party: [indent]Our friends at DanRadcliffe.com have a new set report online from a Chilean magazine called Wiken. In it, they talk with Dan Radcliffe and speak about several different aspects of Leavesden Studios (where all the Potter films are shot). Of interest to those clamouring for new Half-Blood Prince news, they talk about Horace Slughorn's Christmas party: [indent]Wikén witnessed a scene during a filming day. In it, the new Potions Master of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Horace Slughorn (played by the British actor Jim Broadbent, known by supporting roles in classic movies such as "Brazil and "Richard the Third"), celebrates a Christmas party in his room for a selected group of students. Slughorn walks from one group to another chatting with his guests, trying to gain his favourite students' favour.[/indent][/indent]

[*]It’s been mentioned in the Leaky Cauldron Set Report Teaser that Luna will wear a Xmas tree dress:
[indent]We saw Luna’s Christmas tree dress[/indent]
[*]Luna’s comments at the party have been cut: [indent]Oh and most sadly of all, no description from Luna about the dangers of the Rotfang Conspiracy.[/indent]

[*]Neville is in attendance at Slughorn's Christmas Party according to a test screening viewer:
[indent]Neville is at the Christmas party, where he's serving champagne in a waiter's uniform and he tells Harry, 'I didn't get in to the Slug Club...'[/indent]
[*]Test screening viewers also talk of McClaggen at the party: [indent]There's a snippet at the end of the dinner party scene where he's looking at Hermione and licking his finger and... oh my gosh, I died. He's a big part of why the movie tickled me.[/indent]
[*]Also described is a scene between Harry and Hermione about McClaggen [indent]She and Harry are hiding behind a curtain and a waiter comes and offers 'Dragon Tartar' - they both say no, and the waiter says something like, 'Probably for the best - it gives you really bad breath,' and Hermione says, 'On second thought, maybe I will...' and stuffs a few in her mouth...[/indent]
[*]A test screening attendee has given extensive details about Slughorn's Christmas Party: [INDENT]Harry attends with Luna (who is dressed in a peculiar silver dress that got lots of laughs from the audience), and Hermione goes with Cormac. Harry finds Hermione hiding from him behind a curtain looking disheveled because he tried to corner her under the mistletoe (her lines are straight from the book, word for word). As I know there are many here who care about such details, she is wearing a rather low cut dress that shows she is not such a little girl anymore. Harry then pulls her behind another curtain when she spots Cormac approaching and she makes a quick getaway and Harry is left trapped with Cormac behind the curtain. They discuss Hermione (I don’t remember details). Cormac is just about to leave in search of Hermione when Snape sharply pulls the curtain aside, apparently with the belief he has just caught students making out or something, because he seams shocked to see Harry and Cormac (who is on his way out). Before Snape can say something more, Filch comes through the door dragging Draco with him. Just as in the books he admits he is, what’s the words? Gape-crashing? And Slughorn like in the books forgives him. Meanwhile both Harry and Snape are watching this (Snape’s face is unfathomable as usual but his body language suggests interest or concern, Harry is standing slightly behind Snape). [/INDENT]
[*]A picture of Slughorn with an unknown guest, looking to be disturbed by Filch and Draco’s arrival, had emerged: [IMG]http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll156/Arry3G/listpics/desk12al6.jpg[/IMG]
[*]A picture of Filch bringing in Draco was leaked:
[IMG]http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll156/Arry3G/listpics/edp-promo-oclumencia-5.jpg[/IMG]
[*]A description of Draco and Snape’s discussion came from a test screening viewer:
[indent]The next scene is Draco and Snape in a corridor trying to convince Draco to accept his help and Draco repeatedly refuses (I know there was more to this, though not much, but I just can’t recall exactly what it was). The screen starts to pan towards the right, still keeping Draco and Snape in view, but revealing Harry standing with in a parallel corridor or classroom perhaps, standing stock still listening closely. Harry overhears Draco and Snape fighting, though not in his invisibility cloak. And what Snape says is slightly different and in the book what he says does not happen in the movie (stuff about helpers and Crabbe and Goyle). But I really don't remember what he says exactly.[/indent]

A Very Frosty Christmas][list][*]A test screening viewer has informed us that there was a scene of the Hogwarts Express, as the students are going home for Christmas: [INDENT]Now, the next scene is another I described, with Harry and Ron on the Hogwarts Express going to the burrow for Christmas. I actually think they were discussing unbreakable vows but I am not really sure because that is when Lavender turns up outside the compartment steaming up the window with her breath and writing with her finger on the glass making a heart with R+L and then steaming it up again to make it show up better. Then she mouths to Ron “I really miss you” or something and leaves[/INDENT]
[*]A shot from the third trailer, released November, shows the Hogwarts Express leaving in Winter: [IMG]http://i377.photobucket.com/albums/oo211/hbplist/ch16/sc23.jpg[/IMG]
[*]A test screening viewer describes the first scene at the Burrow during Christmas:
[INDENT]But I am guessing they were discussing unbreakable vows because in the next scene at the Burrow Harry is talking to Lupin and Tonks and I think Arthur, I think about what he saw heard Draco and Snape discussing, but the audience was still going from the previous scene with Lavender. The first lines I caught was Lupin saying, “It all comes down to whether you trust Dumbledore. I do, therefore I trust Severus.”[/INDENT]
[*]Two pictures of Harry, Ginny, and Ron (one with and one w/o director David Yates) celebrating Christmas at the Burrow have been released: [img]http://i377.photobucket.com/albums/oo211/hbplist/ch16/ChristmasattheBurrow.jpg[/img] [expand=Christmas at the Weasley's][img]http://i377.photobucket.com/albums/oo211/hbplist/ch16/newhbpphototosnitchseekvf7.jpg[/img][/expand]
[*]Test screening viewers describe the above scene [indent]It's a really cute scene at Christmas at the Burrow... Ginny comes and sits down next to Harry and is feeding him and they're kind of sharing a "moment" and then Ron comes in with a huge plate full of pies and really obliviously sits down between them - like, squeezes in between them, because there's not much room - and offers Harry a pie.[/indent]
[*]Natalia Tena, who portrays Tonks, [url=”http://www.the-leaky-cauldron.org/2008/5/5/natalia-tena-talks-tonks-in-half-blood-prince”]has mentioned[/url] that her characters role has been reduced to ONE scene (Xmas at the Burrow) and that Lupin and her are already a couple when they arrive at the Burrow.

[*]The script of this scene has emerged:
[fieldset=HBP Script] 77 INT. MR. WEASLEY'S WORKSHOP - MOMENTS LATER - NIGHT
Harry trails Mr. Weasley through his cluttered workshop, which is chock-a-block with MUGGLE OBJECTS: Steam irons. Toasters. Clock radios. Plugs. Lots of plugs. The PARTY can still be heard, drifting faintly from the main house.
MR. WEASLEY You'll have to forgive Remus. It takes its toll--his condition.
HARRY (studying him) Are you alright, Mr. Weasley?
Arthur tries to smile, but it fades. He frowns, pained.
MR. WEASLEY We're being followed, all of us. Molly doesn't leave the house most days. It's not been easy
HARRY (a nod, then) Did you get my owl?
MR. WEASLEY Yes, but I thought it best if I replied in person. If Dumbledore's traveling, it's news to the Ministry. But perhaps that's the way Dumbledore wants it. As for Draco Malfoy--I know a bit more.
HARRY Go on.
MR. WEASLEY I sent an agent to Borgin & Burkes. From what you describe, I think what you and Ron saw at the end of summer--the object that Draco seemed so interested in--was a Vanishing Cabinet.
HARRY A Vanishing Cabinet?
MR. WEASLEY They were all the rage when Voldemort first rose to power. You can imagine the appeal. Should the Death Eaters come calling, one needed only slip inside and disappear for an hour or two. But they're tricky contraptions. Require a tremendous amount of looking after. Eventually they fell out of favor.
HARRY What happened to it? The one at Borgin & Burkes?
MR. WEASLEY Nothing. It's still there.
Harry nods, pondering this.
MR. WEASLEY (CONT'D) Harry. You know, I went through all this before--the last time around. Times like these--dark times--do funny things to people. It can bring them together and it can tear them apart. Things...speed up. It's what happens when you don't know if today will be your last.[/fieldset]

And we had the script for that scene…
[b]Rachel:[/b] Oh, yeah, yeah!
[b]Scott:[/b] What did you think of that scene?
[b]Rachel:[/b] … It was an interesting, I mean, that was where they – did – they changed it with – in that scene they’re talking about how Arthur checks – checks to see what – what Draco was doing in the…
[b]Scott:[/b] Right.
[b]Rachel:[/b] I think in Borgin in Burkes or something. It had to do with – And he tells Harry that they were – he was looking at a cabinet and then Harry said ‘What, did he take the cabinet with him?’, or something, and then Arthur says ‘No. It’s still there.’ –
[b]Scott:[/b] Hm.
[b]Rachel:[/b] – and they seem puzzled by the whole idea – they can’t figure it out. But the scene is kinda cool ‘cause it – they actually pan his – his workshop – his garage of Muggle – Muggle stuff and it’s actually kinda funny – it – it has – there’s a lot of detail – there’s a lot – I mean that could have been the Room of Requirement, you know with all the junk – it was like that kinda – you know, clutter and it’s just filled with Muggle stuff and – and being obviously tampered with in someway or another, so…
[b]Scott:[/b] Right.
[b]Rachel:[/b] It’s a good scene. It’s a good shot. It was fun to see that – it’s a detail you never see in the book, but – but it – you know, that it was always implied, so (laughs)[/fieldset][/expand]
[*]There will be a scene in the Burrow which involves an untied shoelace, source, USA Today: [indent]Ginny notices Harry’s shoe is untied, simply says “Shoelace” and reaches over and ties it. “Then it changes from that kind of maternal looking after him to something more heightened and sexual,” Yates said.[/indent]

84 EXT. REEDS (SURROUNDING BURROW) - MOMENTS LATER - NIGHT
Harry careens through the marsh, reeds flashing past, [IMG]http://i377.photobucket.com/albums/oo211/hbplist/ch16/30.jpg[/IMG] then spies Bellatrix. She GRINS, looking like a crazed wood nymph, then flits off, her LAUGHTER mocking him. As he pursues, FIRE SNAKES through the reeds toward him.
NEW ANGLE
Fred, George, Ron and Arthur fan out, running full-out, their feet kicking up SPARKS as SHADOWS splinter throughout the reeds. It's like chasing ghosts.
NEW ANGLE(S)
Ginny, copper hair gleaming, races through the reeds.
Bellatrix leads Harry on, grinning madly.
Ginny comes dashing to a halt, chest heaving as she peers into the smoking marsh. A HUGE FIGURE QUIVERS through a veil of smoke. Ginny's eyes SHIFT, see Bellatrix racing forward through the reeds, then SHIFT back as the veil of smoke evaporates, reveals...Greyback. [IMG]http://i377.photobucket.com/albums/oo211/hbplist/ch16/52.jpg[/IMG] Bellatrix makes an ODD, CLICKING noise--like a signal--and Greyback edges forward, sweeping away the reeds in front of him and revealing...
...Harry as he pelts forward.
GINNY No, Harry! It's a trap!
Harry falters, looking toward Ginny's voice and spies Greyback. Bellatrix stops dead, wheels in her tracks and, seeing Ginny, SHRIEKS with RAGE. Raising her wand, she fires a BOLT of RED LIGHT which explodes in a SHOWER of SPARKS around Ginny. [img]http://i377.photobucket.com/albums/oo211/hbplist/ch16/35.jpg[/img] Ginny fires back, then wheels away, flashing through the reeds coming face to face with...
Greyback, sharp teeth glittering.
GREYBACK Don't you smell clean.
Just then, a BOLT OF BLUE bursts off Greyback's back and he turns, sees Harry standing several yards off. As Greyback gives chase, Ginny pelts after and we CUT back and forth between Harry, Ginny and the beast between them, faster and faster, their BREATHS shortening until... [IMG]http://i377.photobucket.com/albums/oo211/hbplist/ch16/normal_hbp_promo_trailer2_043.jpg[/IMG]
Greyback rushes into a clearing, panting, glancing about.
Just then, TWIN BOLTS of light blast from opposite sides of the clearing and Greyback is lifted in the air, slammed to the ground. As he regains his feet he looks into the reeds and sees Harry and Ginny, wands poised. He grins...when Bellatrix's odd, CLICKING signal carries through the night once again. Turning away, he exits.
Harry and Ginny slowly step out of the reeds, stare at each other wordlessly. Then...Ron, Fred, George, Arthur and Lupin come thrashing into the clearing, stop. All around them, the reeds SMOKE, the flames dying. Across the marsh, Bellatrix's cackle rises briefly on the air--then all is quiet.

87 INT. SLUGHORN'S OFFICE/YEARS PAST - NIGHT
We emerge from the CRACKLING EMBERS of a FIREPLACE. A much younger--and more smartly dressed--Slughorn probes a dish of CRYSTALLIZED PINEAPPLE as he holds court before 16-YEAR- OLD TOM RIDDLE and five other BOYS. The CRYSTAL HOURGLASS sits on a side table.
TOM RIDDLE Sir, is it true that Professor Merrythought is retiring?
Slughorn chuckles, wags a sugar-encrusted finger at Riddle.
SLUGHORN Now, Tom, I couldn't tell you if I knew, could I? I must say, m'boy, I'd like to know where you get your information. More knowledgeable than half the staff, you are. (as the other boys laugh) By the way, thank you for the pineapple--you're quite right, it is my favourite--how is it you knew?
TOM RIDDLE Intuition.
Riddle smiles but his expression suggests intuition had nothing to do with it. Slughorn chuckles uneasily.
SLUGHORN Good gracious, look at the time. Off you go, boys, or Professor Dippett will have us all in detention. Lestrange, Avery, don't forget your essays...
As the others file out, Slughorn busies himself with some papers when--Ping!--he turns, finds Riddle still there, standing by the crystal hourglass.
SLUGHORN Look sharp, Tom. You don't want to be caught out of bed after hours...
TOM RIDDLE I know a secret shortcut or two.
SLUGHORN Yes, I imagine you do. Something on your mind, Tom?
TOM RIDDLE Yes sir. I couldn't think of anyone else to go to. The other Professors, well, they're not like you. They might...misunderstand.
SLUGHORN Go on.
Riddle slips off the RING on his left hand, begins to roll it between his fingers. It is set with a BLACK STONE.
TOM RIDDLE I was in the library the other night, in the Restricted section, and I read something rather odd, about a bit of rare magic, and I thought perhaps you could illuminate me...
Suddenly a DENSE FOG engulfs the room and SLUGHORN'S VOICE twists into an ANGRY SHRIEK:

[img]http://i377.photobucket.com/albums/oo211/hbplist/ch18/18ron.jpg[/img]
[*]A description of this scene surfaced after the test screening
[indent]The scene opens with Ron staring lovingly at the moon from the boys' dormitory window (lol). Harry comes into the room and Ron tells Harry that he's in love. Harry sits on his bed and Ron climbs on right next to him (more lol) and the dialogue follows about the same from the book if I remember correctly. Harry says, "I thought you were getting tired of her" or something and Ron gets offended, Harry gets confused, thinks they're talking about Lavender but Ron says he's talking about Romilda Vane and asks to be introduced. Harry asks if Ron's eaten something, Harry sees the empty wrappers and box and puts two and two together and gets him to Slughorn's office. Harry asks Slughorn for the antidote, Slughorn lets them in, and he concocts the potion. At one point Ron comes from behind Slughorn and hugs him and so Harry sets him down on the couch (scene is shot with Harry and Slughorn in front, couch behind). Slughorn wonders why Harry couldn't just perform the potion himself but Harry says it's particularly strong and Slughorn agrees. Ron is acting goofy in the back, at one point he sits on the back seating of the couch and falls off! After they get Ron right, Slughorn pulls out a flasks, pours glasses, and they toast to their health. Ron of course slurps his down before the others and he immediately collapses. He starts going a bit gray, convulsing, foaming at the mouth a bit; Harry freaks out, tells Ron to breathe, yells at Slughorn to do something, Slughorn is too stunned to move so Harry hurries through his potion supplies, pulls out a bezoar and pops it into his mouth.[/indent]
[*]Another attendee describes the emotions of the scene [indent]it went from funny to scary very quickly. You're right that Rupert is AWESOME as "lovestruck Ron"... and then after the bezoar sits up and says, 'They're going to kill me!' before dropping back down on the floor again... a little comic relief in the midst of a very tense moment.[/indent][/list][/expand]
[expand=19. Elf Tails][LIST][*]The initial test screening attendee continues…
[indent]I forget the transitioning but we find Harry, Slughorn, Ginny, Hermione, and Ron at the infirmary wing. Everyone was definitely laughing at Ron. He was hilarious under the love potion, very sensitive, very touchy to those near him! Everyone surrounds Ron's bed in the Hospital Wing, Hermione and Ginny either side of him. Dumbledore, McGonagall and Snape walk in, shortly followed by Lavender who basically starts arguing with Hermione as to why she's there. Then Lavender goes over to Ron and grabs his hand, at which point Ron mutters Hermione's name. Lavender runs off in a strop. Dumbledore says something along the lines of "Ah, the pangs of teenage romance", to which McGonagall gives a look and Snape rolls his eyes. Then I think after a little talking, with Slughorn telling Dumbledore it was the meade that poisoned Ron and that it was actually meant for Dumbledore himself, they all leave, but Harry turns at the door to see Hermione holding a still-unconcious Ron's hand. Hermione says something like "Oh, shut up" and Harry leaves.
The next day they're sitting at breakfast, and Ron asks Hermione something about, "HOW, again, did that happen? She seems really angry at me!" and then we see Lavender glaring at Ron from across the room and Hermione smirks a little and changes the subject.. [/indent]

[*]A promotional picture shows Malfoy testing the cabinet: [IMG]http://i377.photobucket.com/albums/oo211/hbplist/ch21/DracoRoR.jpg[/IMG]
[*]A test screening viewer discusses the birds Malfoy uses:
[indent]Throughout the movie we keep seeing Draco going to a cage full of birds, like the one he has in his hand. He would would take one and then go off to the RoR. Later in the movie, I believe just before the Sectum Sempra Scene, we see him put one of the birds into the Vanishing Cabinet looking hopeful and closes it. When he opens it, the bird is dead.
Though we, as the audience are not really supposed to know what Draco is doing, his reaction to the bird being dead makes it obvious that whatever he is trying to do with that cabinet is not working. He is so upset that he ends up in the bathroom crying. And the Sectum Sempra scene takes place.[/indent]

Yes Aragog is on the screen for about 3 minutes, but he is dead. I think it would be quite easy for you to have your friend close his eyes during that moment. Slughorn says the same words over his body that he does in the book. Word for word (I am wondering if it is sort of sad that I know that...). That is how long Aragog is on screen.
We do get to hear Hagrid and Slughorn singing about Odo the Hero, and Harry is funny and a few lines where true to the book while under the influence of Felix Felicis.
You know, I can't remember the details of what Harry said to get the memory, but I know they most definitely deviated from canon, which had surprised me at the time because up until then, the scene was very close to canon. Actually I am starting to remember, but before getting upset please remember that I am not remembering it all, and the accuracy is questionable. But the gist of it is Slughorn drunkenly starts to tell Harry about this fish he had that he loved and was so beautiful, but died. Towards the end of the story he reveals that the fish was given to him by Lily and just disappeared the day she died. Harry uses this story to persuade him to give up the memory. Frankly I thought it was rather lame. But then, I believe that what happened in the book should have been there instead, so I wasn't listening to the story with a very open mind either.[/indent]

As before. The CRACKLING EMBERS of the FIRE. Slughorn, a circle of six. Riddle commanding the room.
TOM RIDDLE Sir, is it true that Professor Merrythought is retiring?
Slughorn chuckles, wags a sugar-encrusted finger at Riddle.
SLUGHORN Now, Tom, I couldn't tell you if I knew, could I? I must say, m'boy, I'd like to know where you get your information. More knowledgeable than half the staff, you are.

TOM RIDDLE Yes sir. I couldn't think of anyone else to go to. The other Professors, well, they're not like you. They might...misunderstand.
SLUGHORN Go on.
Riddle slips off the RING on his left hand, begins to roll it between his fingers. It is set with a BLACK STONE.
TOM RIDDLE I was in the library the other night, in the Restricted section, and I read something rather odd, about a bit of rare magic, and I thought perhaps you could illuminate me. It's called, as I understand it...a Horcrux.
Slughorn's weak smile evaporates altogether.
SLUGHORN Excuse me?
TOM RIDDLE Horcrux. I came across the term while reading and I didn't fully understand it.
SLUGHORN I'm not sure what you were reading, Tom, but that's very Dark stuff, very Dark indeed.
TOM RIDDLE Yes sir. Which is why I came to you. I mean no disrespect to the rest of the staff, but I thought if anyone could tell me...it would be you.
Slughorn frowns, clearly disturbed, then speaks quietly.
SLUGHORN A horcrux is an object in which a person has concealed part of their soul.
TOM RIDDLE Yes, I thought it might be something like that. But I don't understand how that works, sir.
SLUGHORN One splits one's soul and hides part of it in an object. By doing so, you are protected should you be attacked and your body destroyed.
TOM RIDDLE Protected?
SLUGHORN That part of your soul that was hidden, lives on. In other words, you cannot die.
Riddle nods and TURNS AWAY, staring at himself in the MIRROR on the wall opposite. A hint of RED glints in his eyes.
TOM RIDDLE How does one split his soul, sir?
SLUGHORN I think you can guess the answer to that, Tom.
TOM RIDDLE Murder.
SLUGHORN Yes. Killing rips the soul apart. It is a violation against nature. After, one is never the same.
TOM RIDDLE Out of curiosity, sir--can you only split your soul once? For instance, isn't seven the most powerfully magical number--
SLUGHORN Seven! Merlin's beard, Tom! Isn't it bad enough to think of killing one person? To rip the soul into seven pieces... (stopping; worried) This is all hypothetical, isn't it, Tom? All academic...
TOM RIDDLE Of course, sir. And I promise I'll not speak of our conversation. It'll be our little secret...
Riddle reaches out then and pinches the FLAME of a candle, killing it. As SMOKE RISES, we DISSOLVE into...

DUMBLEDORE (haunted) [b][i]This is beyond anything I imagined.[/i][/b] In my life I have seen things that are unimaginably horrific. I know now...you will see worse.
Dumbledore looks off, his eyes distant. Harry watches him intently, as do the HEADMASTERS in their frames above. Finally, tentatively, Harry speaks.
HARRY Do you mean to say he succeeded, sir? In making a Horcrux?
DUMBLEDORE Oh he succeeded. And not just once. Think, Harry. He's just told us.

DUMBLEDORE It's a Horcrux, yes. Four years ago, when you saved Ginny Weasley's life in the Chamber of Secrets, when you brought me this-- (holding up the diary) I knew. [i][b]This is a different kind of magic. Very dark. Very powerful.[/b][/i] But until tonight I had no idea just how powerful...
HARRY And the ring...?
DUMBLEDORE Belonged to Voldemort's mother. It was difficult to find and... (raising his damaged hand) ...even more difficult to destroy.
[b][i]HARRY But if you find them all. If you destroy each Horcrux...
DUMBLEDORE One kills Voldemort[/i][/b]
Harry begins to reach out for the ring...
HARRY But how would you find them? They could be hidden anywhere, couldn't they...
DUMBLEDORE True. But magic, especially Dark magic...

[*]A test screening viewer discusses Horcruxes in the film: [indent]I honestly don't know if those not familiar with the book will understand the horcruxes. I think they will understand what they do and how they work. But I am not sure if it was clear Harry still needed to kill Voldemort in the end, I think it is just assumed. What I don't think a book reader will understand is the significance in the objects chosen as horcruxes. I think the reason why Voldemort chooses those particular objects is not explained whatsoever. I don't think it was ever even mentioned that the locket was Slytherin's.[/indent][/list][/expand] [expand=24.

[*]The Sectumsempra scene appears to be confirmed, due to a [URL="http://www.leakylounge.com/Visit-HBP-filmset-t60162.html&pid=1605639&mode=threaded#entry1605639"]set report[/URL]:
[indent]We couldn't get into moaning Myrtle's bathroom because it was locked. They filmed the Sectumsempra scene there last week. They told me Tom had to lie in the fake blood and water for hours. He had a prosthetic chest on which pumped out fake blood and for each new take he had to get cleaned up and dry his hair before starting again. There are some pictures floating about of the scene and they look like Tom is lying dead in a pool of blood, very freaky for his friends to see![/indent]
[*]Moaning Myrtle [url=http://www.snitchseeker.com/harry-potter-news/exclusive-moaning-myrtle-not-half-blood-prince-55992/]is cut[/url]
[*]Test screening viewers describe the scene
[indent]When Harry and Draco fight in the toilets, Nigel is sits frozen in a cubical.
The scene is truly dark and serious; the touch of humor with the kid on the loo was a surprisingly well placed moment of humor as it did not spoil the mood. You think it would but it doesn't. It’s only about 5 seconds of screen time, something tells me it may be cut later, but I think they should leave it in.
It's actually more of a "fight scene" - it's kind of cool that way - and yes, Harry is obviously disturbed by what he's done and horrified at the effect that the spell has
For those asking about the bloodiness of the Sectumsempra scene, it was not very bloody but many of the wounds on Draco did not appear to be gushing. Before you all get upset, I think the extra blood is probably just a special effect not yet added. The scene implied much more blood than was seen. I am pretty sure this will be added in later.
When Harry casts Sectumsempra, Snape runs in and heals Draco's wounds with a spell that sounds almost like a song. Snape does not use Legilimency on Harry, and Harry runs straight out of the bathroom and into McGonagall who's standing in the doorway. Snape does not question Harry whatsover. He does not even speak to him. No Roonil Waslib [/indent]
[*]A shot from the third trailer, released November, showed Draco in the bathroom:

[*]The Harry/Ginny kiss has been altered
[indent]Ginny takes Harry to the RoR to hide the book. She kisses him in there, it's their first kiss. The relationship is done a bit differently compared to the book. There's a lot of build up since there wasn't much Ginny in the other movies. In fact I'd say there's more H/G in the movie. There's a lot of Ginny. She's very canon like and you can see that especially from her first scene.
The kiss between Harry and Ginny in the RoR isn't sad.[/indent]
[*]This is the kiss seen in the third Sneak Peek.
[*]Test screening viewers describe the scene
[indent][After Sectumsempra,] Hermione and Ginny band together and tell Harry to hide the potions book so not even Harry can find it. Ginny takes Harry to the room of Requirement, and makes him close his eyes while she hides the book. Then she kisses him briefly. By the time he opens his eyes she has vanished.[/indent]
[*]A script of this kiss scene appeared from a reliable source. [fieldset=HBP script] GINNY You've got to hide it. Today.
105 - INT. SEVENTH FLOOR CORRIDOR - LATER - DAY
Harry, potions book in hand, follows Ginny past the empty birdcage and down the corridor when she pauses, turns to the wall and shuts her eyes.
GINNY Take my hand.
106 - INT. ROOM OF REQUIREMENT - SECONDS LATER - DAY
Ginny and Harry materialize.
HARRY The Room of Requirement...
Ginny nods, turns away. Harry follows.
NEW ANGLE - SECONDS LATER
Harry eyes the shelves that tower above him and the odd things they hold: a SMALL CAGE bearing the SKELETON of some long-dead creature. A JAR of QUIVERING EYEBALLS which track him as he passes.
GINNY Over the years, if someone had a secret, if they wanted to conceal something, this is where they came. Some of these things are almost as old as the castle itself.
HARRY Who showed you this? First.
GINNY Fred and George. First Year. I hid Tom Riddle's diary here for a time. Wish I'd left it...
As Ginny drifts off in memory, Harry studies her, then a SCUFFLING SOUND is heard nearby. They turn, look off.
GINNY/HARRY (at the same time) What was that?
They turn back, look at each other. Ginny smiles. Then:
NEW ANGLE - BEHIND VANISHING CABINET
Harry and Ginny approach. The SCUFFLING GROWS LOUDER. Harry reaches out, pulls aside the tapestry. Reacts. The cabinet door VIBRATES. Slowly, he opens it and...
...the BLACK BIRD flies free in a rush of FLAPPING wings.
GINNY See, you never know what you'll find up here.
Harry nods, looks back at the cabinet, mystified.
GINNY (CONT'D) All right. Close your eyes. That way you can't be tempted.
Ginny slips the book from his fingers and starts to back away. She mouths: Close...your...eyes. As she leaves FRAME, CAMERA pushes ever-so-slightly in on Harry. Still. Waiting. For a long moment, there is only silence. Then a shadow gently eclipses Harry's face.
GINNY (CONT'D) There's something else. Another secret of sorts. One of mine... [IMG]http://i377.photobucket.com/albums/oo211/hbplist/ch24/24kiss.jpg[/IMG]
Ginny leans in then and places her mouth on Harry's. [IMG]http://i377.photobucket.com/albums/oo211/hbplist/ch24/sc48.jpg[/IMG]

[*]The exterior Cave scenes are to be filmed at Cape Wraith
[*]Stuart Craig has stated in an interview for Movie Magic that the decision was made to use a Crystal Cave instead of a Limestone Cave:
[indent]A key to what we did this time was our initial research. We started by saying, "What's interesting about a cave?" Well, stalagmites and stalactites are probably the most familiar, almost clichéd, of limestone caves. So we started to examine crystal caves and looked to the pictures of this incredible quartz cave in Mexico. We did visit one in Switzerland and thought, "What other kind of crystal caves are there?" It turned out to be a salt crystal cave outside Frankfurt in Germany, so we went there, and it's part of a cast phosphate mining complex, but there's also rock salt down there, and in this one area salt crystals, which are completely transparent and glass-like. We took extensive photographs and used that as our inspiration. What it's done is given us this hopefully fantastic set and fantastic world but with a bit of geological credibility at the same time, which we've always tried to do. Yes, it's a magical world, but it's grounded in a recognizable reality. We've treated the cave as an extension of the architecture in that respect[/indent]
[*]The exterior of the cave was shown in the second and third trailers: [expand=Cave][IMG]http://i377.photobucket.com/albums/oo211/hbplist/ch26/normal_hbp_promo_trailer2_003.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i377.photobucket.com/albums/oo211/hbplist/ch26/normal_hbp_promo_trailer2_006.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i377.photobucket.com/albums/oo211/hbplist/ch26/sc36.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i377.photobucket.com/albums/oo211/hbplist/ch26/sc37.jpg[/IMG][/expand]

[b]Rachel:[/b] Yeah, because there’s a – there’s multiple parts to that scene so – yeah, it could be even slightly longer…
[b]Scott:[/b] Cool.[/fieldset]
[*]A test screening viewer describes the cave sequence in great detail: [indent]Dumbledore meets Harry at the top of the Astronomy tower and they apparate to outside the cave. As they are leaving Harry is surprised that that they can apparate from within the Hogwarts grounds, and Dumbledore says something along the lines of "That's the beauty of being headmaster."
The scene they apparate to, despite being slightly unfinished was nonetheless absolutely breathtaking. Cliffs and huge waves dominate the scene. Dumbledore finds their way to the anti-chamber and slits his hand (for you star trek fans – he does it in a Klingon way – straight across the inside of his hand). The wall crumbles away and Dumbledore explains to Harry that Voldemort would have set up defenses around the Horcrux.
The cave is very different than what I had pictured and than all the fan art I have seen, but still a chilling and amazing sight. It reminded me a bit of a normal cave mixed with the ice crystal place Superman goes to in one of his movies. The whole cave is a vast formation of huge crystals, jagged and rough, jutting out from the ceiling walls and floor.
They make their way to the water and Dumbledore cautions Harry not to touch it and he starts to raise the boat with magic. Then he has Harry reel it in with a very heavy long chain.
The island is a formation of crystals as is the basin. Now the only really cheesy and unspectacular thing about this whole scene is that they use a large white clam shell partially imbedded in a small rock to scoop up the potion. In my opinion it looked rather silly. Dumbledore tell Harry to force him to drink the potion and Gambon once again does a slightly better than usual job being forced to drink the potion.
At one point towards the end you can very softly hear Dumbledore mumble something like "please don't hurt them, it's all my fault." But it was almost inaudible and I doubt anyone who has not read the book caught the line at all. Then after the last scoop is drunk, Gambon kind of goes back to his rather poor, unresearched acting and says with far too much strength. "Harry, Water."
But first Harry goes back to the Basin and recovers the locket and in the background we can hear Dumbledore saying "Harry, water" getting slightly weaker each time he says it. Harry attempts to fill the basin with water the aguamenti charm, but can not get the scoop the water up with that silly shell. After trying several times and Dumbledore starting to collapse he goes to the lake to fill it there.
Suddenly the light that was emanating from the island with the basin goes out, and Harry lights his wand (most unfortunately with the non-existent spell luminous-maximus, or whatever it was he used in the beginning of the third movie), and slowly reaches down to scoop up the lake water. The moment he touches it a hand reaches out and grabs Harry's wrist. The whole audience jumped in fear. Harry tries to fend off the inferi with all the spells we hear him try in the books. But in the end he is pulled down into the water.
Before I go on I must say the inferi scene was one of the most spectacular of this movie. They looked a bit like the newer version of the dementor, but much more human shaped and brownish. I fear I am not describing them well, because they were truly a scary site to see. The camera angles captured the scene of Harry trying hopelessly to defend himself and Dumbledore from them as they clambered onto the island from all different angles and the sheer number of them eventually overwhelms Harry and he is pulled down deep into the lake.
While Harry is underwater the view we have is from below him looking up and we can see the whole island from below as well. Suddenly the inferi hold harry releases him and he swims up to a surface covered in fierce flame. The "ring of fire" Dumbledore conjures is an unbelievable sight, far more than I think anyone pictured in the books, but incredibly spectacular. Harry and Dumbledore climb back in the boat and the scene then cuts to Harry helping Dumbledore through the cave.
The ever so anticipated lines of (I am paraphrasing) "Don't worry sir, I'll get us back" and Dumbledore replying "I am not worried, I am with you" are said. Executed very well by Radcliff though rather poorly in my opinion by Gambon who clearly does not know the significant emotional value we fans know those lines have.[/indent]

[IMG]http://i377.photobucket.com/albums/oo211/hbplist/ch27/normal_harry-hermione-agenda.jpg[/IMG] Darker than usual. The fire muted. Ron and Hermione sit together. Silent. Glance toward the window, the sky beyond. [IMG]http://i377.photobucket.com/albums/oo211/hbplist/ch27/normal_herr6565xz5.jpg[/IMG]
129 INT. HOSPITAL WING - SAME TIME - NIGHT
Draco's face, skin glimmering with the light crawling across the ceiling above him. He stares, unblinking, swings out of the bed. Bare feet--Draco's--drop to the tiles.
130 INT. CORRIDOR - MOMENT LATER - NIGHT
The choir echoes eerily. SIXTH YEARS, little more than SHADOWS, hang out, giggling in dark corners. Malfoy glides by in his bare feet. Unnoticed. A ghost.
131 INT. ROOM OF REQUIREMENT - MOMENTS LATER - NIGHT
[IMG]http://i377.photobucket.com/albums/oo211/hbplist/ch27/normal_hbp_promo_trailer2_019.jpg[/IMG] Dense with shadow. Strange slashes of light. Malfoy, a shadow within shadows, pulls the tapestry, from the Vanishing Cabinet, steps back... [IMG]http://i377.photobucket.com/albums/oo211/hbplist/ch27/normal_hbp_promo_trailer2_089.jpg[/IMG]
He stares at the monolith before him, lifts his wand and begins to CHANT eerily. The surface of the cabinet glimmers, atremble in the ambient light. Almost alive. Then he stops. Looking back, his eyes haunted, he slips away.
Light plays within the cabinet. Movement. Shadows flicker within, coalesce. We ease up, reveal...
Bellatrix. Greyback. And a few friends. Bellatrix steps into the light. Glances around. Grins.[/fieldset]
[*]Rachezee discussed this script leak in [url=http://princewatch.mypodcast.com/2008/09/Episode_3_The_Birds_the_Wizard_and_the_Vanishing_Cabinet_Rachezee_Speaks_Part_1_of_a_Princewatch_Exclusive_Interview-145452.html]her appearance on PrinceWatch[/url]:[expand=PrinceWatch Interview][fieldset=PrinceWatch episode 3] [b]Scott:[/b] So -- continuing on that and the discussion of Draco -- I had a question on -- did Draco use the hand of glory or the darkness powder at all? When --
[b]Rachel:[/b] No.
[b]Scott:[/b] -- they infiltrated the castle? Ah ...
[b]Rachel:[/b] No. He -- he didn't. He - they -- the Death Eaters just basically came right in. (laughter) Well -- I mean -- they were in the Room of Requirement so no one knew they were there and there was no Order of the Phoenix waiting for them either so --
[b]Scott:[/b] Okay.
[b]Rachel:[/b] -- so they -- you know -- they made their way up -- I mean, Draco got up there first for some reason or another, but -- and then they came up afterward.
[b]Scott:[/b] The part that was in the script -- when he lets them in through the cabinet -- that's actually seen --
[b]Rachel:[/b] Yeah -- that was --
[b]Scott:[/b] -- or was that cut?
[b]Rachel:[/b] -- I saw that script and it was accurate. It was exactly what I saw.
[b]Scott:[/b] Oh, cool.
[b]Rachel:[/b] So -- yeah. And it's an impressive looking scene. I mean, it was -- the -- the way he takes the tapestry that he has over the cabinet off kind of looked pretty cool and stuff --
[b]Scott:[/b] Right.
[b]Rachel:[/b] So ... (laughs)
[b]Scott:[/b] So then -- from the end of that script -- what happens like right after that? Does it go right into Dumbledore and Harry apparate back to the Astronomy tower or is there something in between?
[b]Rachel:[/b] I'm not -- I can't -- you know what I can't remember is if that happened like -- I -- I think that actually happened right after they -- they were about to come back -- you know -- like -- it was assumed they were on their way back and then we see all that. But I -- I could be slightly wrong about that order. It could have happened right before we saw them at the cave. Do you know what I mean? Like they -- right after they left, but before they went in.
[b]Vince:[/b] Right.
[b]Scott:[/b] Right.
[b]Meesha:[/b] Right.
[b]Rachel:[/b] I just can't remember. So ...
[b]Scott:[/b] Yeah, cause in -- in the script -- it showed the very tail portion of the cave where he said, "I'm not worried", and they were about to come back and then they --
[b]Vince:[/b] Oh, that line.
[b]Rachel:[/b] That would be right, yeah. That's what I thought.
[b]Scott:[/b] -- they went to Hogwarts and -- showing some tension or something or dark skies outside and then Draco sneaks off to the Room of Requirement and lets the Death Eaters in --
[b]Rachel:[/b] Yeah.
[…]
[b]Meesha:[/b] Ok, then we had this little tiny picture, looks like Ron and Hermione in the Gryffindor common room.
[b]Scott:[/b] Yeah.
[b]Rachel:[/b] With their backs…
[b]Vince:[/b] Oh, is that…
[b]Meesha:[/b] Yeah, with their backs to the camera.
[b]Vince:[/b] Is that the end of the movie?
[b]Rachel:[/b] I believe it was. I can’t guarantee anything that I know – but it looks like – you had the script leak and I think that was actually in the script leak, like the – they’re staring out the window.
[b]Vince:[/b] Right, the montage of everybody…
[b]Rachel:[/b] Yeah that was a slight – it was a really cool looking scene, was that whole – that whole script that you – that we were reading – I couldn’t figure out what was going on, though – like I didn’t understand why it was there, but it was really good looking, I mean the style looked amazing and it was – and it gave you a really eerie feeling. But I didn’t understand what the point was. Do you know what I mean? (laughs)
[b]Vince:[/b] I guess it’s just like – just like – to set up –
[b]Rachel:[/b] I think it’s just mood.
[b]Vince:[/b] – set up the mood.
[b]Scott:[/b] Just an ominous feeling for them entering the castle.
[b]Vince:[/b] It's good for racking up the tension
[b]Rachel:[/b] Yeah.
[b]Scott:[/b] Yeah.
[b]Rachel:[/b] Like darkness is coming – something bad is going to happen.
[b]Scott:[/b] Yeah
[b]Rachel:[/b] But it didn’t necessarily make much sense.[/fieldset][/expand]

[*]Stuart Craig [url=http://www.snitchseeker.com/harry-potter-news/hp-set-design-changes-43335/]has confirmed[/url] he built the Astronomy Tower set and says the scene is going to be powerful.
[*]A Set Report Teaser from Harry Potter Fan Zone contained a brief description of the Astronomy Tower:
[indent]We’re nearing the end of the visit when we’re given a first-hand look at the construction of the Astronomy Tower. The wooden structure is enormous. Even at a place like Leavesden it looks as if it towers above everything else. I can’t imagine what it’ll look like on film. Construction is well underway - the framework appears to be complete, and on one side the walls are being pained. This is a truly breathtaking spectacle.[/indent]
[*]In addition, there is a shot from the HBP VIDEO GAME (based on the film) of the Astronomy Tower interior: [IMG]http://i377.photobucket.com/albums/oo211/hbplist/ch27/2cmonq9.jpg[/IMG]
[*]A change in Harry’s (and Dumbledore’s) actions has occurred, according to test screening viewers
[indent]Harry is not frozen by Dumbledore and is on the floor below the top of the astronomy tower looking up through floorboards at the events.[/indent]
[*]A test screening viewer also confirms Draco’s disarming of Dumbledore [indent]Yes he [Draco] does [disarm Dumbledore], and Dumbledore looks startled.[/indent]
[*]Shots of this scene came from the third trailer, released November: [expand=Lightning Struck Tower][IMG]http://i377.photobucket.com/albums/oo211/hbplist/ch27/sc07.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i377.photobucket.com/albums/oo211/hbplist/ch27/sc08.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i377.photobucket.com/albums/oo211/hbplist/ch27/sc54.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i377.photobucket.com/albums/oo211/hbplist/ch27/shock.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i377.photobucket.com/albums/oo211/hbplist/ch27/sc43.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i377.photobucket.com/albums/oo211/hbplist/ch27/sc41.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i377.photobucket.com/albums/oo211/hbplist/ch27/sc42.jpg[/IMG][/expand]
[*]A test screening viewer describes this scene [indent]They then apparate back to the top of the astronomy tower. There is no dark mark in the sky. But as Dumbledore says he needs Severus not Madame Pomfrey they hear a commotion and Dumbledore orders Harry to go and hide and not come out or interfere. A command the book Harry would never have followed, but that the movie Harry would obey. Harry goes underneath the wooden floor of the tower where Dumbledore is standing where he can see everything through large gaps between the wood slates. Draco arrives and Tom does a brilliant job as a boy trying to be fierce and terrified at the same time. Some lines from the book are rather butchered by Dumbledore saying things like "Draco, you are not an assassin." Then the deatheaters arrive all in masks except Bellatrix and Greyback. Bellatrix urges Draco to do it though his wand lowers slightly.
Meanwhile under the floor Harry who is watching terrified with his wand at the ready is sneaked up on by Snape, whose wand is also out and puts his finger to his lips to make sure Harry stays quiet. My description does not quite capture that scene well enough, but I was surprised to find my heart ripping, perhaps because I knew what was going to happen when Snape appeared there. Snape quietly appears above, and Dumbledore, with far too much strength says "Severus Please."
And Snape does the avada kadavra, and Bellatrix is ecstatic. The scene with Dumbledore being lifted into the air was unfortunately unfinished because we see him up in the air and then apparently falling down the side of the tower, but there was no motion yet. He is stationary in both scenes. I am sure more special effects will be added later. Then Bellatrix casts the Dark Mark (another amazing updated special effect with a black smoke skull and snake tongue).[/indent]
[*]Test screening viewers note that the film is basically finished once Dumbledore dies [indent]there’s maybe 5-8 min after his death.[/indent]

[b]Vince:[/b] Snape, yeah.
[b]Rachel:[/b] -- but it in -- like people are really, I think, worried about that scene. But when Snape showed up, I mean, it gave -- it actually gave me chills and that --
[b]Vince:[/b] Oh.
[b]Rachel:[/b] -- and I wasn't expecting that at all because I was -- I was -- I was still -- I was really caught up in the fact that it wasn't --
[b]Scott:[/b] Hmm.
[b]Rachel:[/b] -- you know, on how they interpreted it. I knew -- I knew they weren't going to do the invisibility cloak. I -- I had a big feeling about that, but I was cur -- you know, I thought it was kind of weird that Harry wasn't doing anything, and -- but Snape turned up just in time. It looked like Harry was just about to do something and --
[b]Vince:[/b] How long is that scene before Snape shows up?
[b]Rachel:[/b] It's not super long --
[b]Vince:[/b] Like how long --
[b]Rachel:[/b] -- but it's not -- it's not terribly -- it's not -- it seemed perfect to me. Like it seemed like he was just starting to gather, you know -- he -- it looked like -- the Death Eaters had just shown up and that -- you could tell that Harry was realizing this is not a -- this is not a joke. It -- you know --
[b]Vince:[/b] Yeah.
[b]Rachel:[/b] -- Draco is -- Draco might not be doing something, but those Death Eaters will. And so -- and that's when Snape showed up and he had his fingers to his lips and, you know -- and it was -- and Harry kind of is startled by him, but is scare -- you know -- and then turns really quickly back to look up, you know what I mean? And --
[b]Scott:[/b] Right.
[b]Rachel:[/b] -- and then Snape disappears and ru --goes up to the top. So ... (laughs)
[b]Vince:[/b] Wow.
[b]Scott:[/b] So we had a question about that scene on like the dialog from the book -- how much was that kept intact between --
[b]Vince:[/b] Yeah, like Draco and Dumbledore.
[b]Scott:[/b] -- Dumbledore, Draco, and the Death Eaters? Did Dumbledore refer to any of the Death Eaters by name or did they all have --
[b]Rachel:[/b] He said something like --
[b]Scott:[/b] -- their masks on?
[b]Rachel:[/b] -- I -- I know that it's -- a little bit was -- he didn't name any of the Death Eaters that were there. I -- it was obvious Bellatrix and Greyback were there, but that was about it. But the -- he didn't name like the Carrows or anyone else who was supposed to be up there. But he did say the Draco things like -- like -- I -- you know, it caught my -- I think -- "Draco you are not an assassin" and I thought, you know couldn't they just say killer? You know? (laughs)
[b]Vince:[/b] Yeah.
(laughter)
[b]Rachel:[/b] He's like -- [inaudible]
[b]Vince:[/b] I know.
[b]Rachel:[/b] But --
[b]Vince:[/b] Yeah, murderer would be power -- more powerful.
[b]Rachel:[/b] Yeah -- or something like that -- I --
[b]Vince:[/b] Yeah, it would.
[b]Rachel:[/b] -- assassin sounded strange to me, but -- but -- but it was - that's what they said. But -- or what -- what, you know, Gam -- Dumbledore says, but -- but it was similar. It was just -- you -- they had to leave everything out that was just not relevant to the movie so ... (laughs)
[b]Scott:[/b] So a lot of those witty things were cut then -- like where he was talking to them as if they were being invited to a tea party and was like, "Oh, you brought Alecto too".
[b]Vince:[/b] (laughs) Yeah.
[b]Rachel:[/b] No, because Gambon doesn't know how to do that. I mean, (laughter) it -- you -- I think he could have done it, but it was -- it -- it didn't come off that way because it -- it -- that's -- that's all about the acting and the directing and they have to know --
[b]Scott:[/b] Right.
[b]Rachel:[/b] -- to do that and I don't think they knew that. But it wasn't bad -- it wasn't poorly done either. It was -- he -- even Harry says at some point later that it looked like Draco was dropping his wand. He wasn't going to do it.
[b]Vince:[/b] Oh, he says it? He says it --
[b]Rachel:[/b] Yeah. He does say that.
[b]Vince:[/b] -- later on? Ah ...
[b]Meesha:[/b] Oh, that's good.
[b]Rachel:[/b] Yeah. I don't remember exactly where he says it, but I do remember him saying he was gonna drop -- he was dropping his wand. And I remember thinking --
[b]Vince:[/b] What --
[b]Rachel:[/b] -- I don't even remember seeing that, but I -- I'm glad he said that, you know what I mean? (laughs)
[b]Meesha:[/b] Yeah.
[b]Rachel:[/b] So ...
[b]Vince:[/b] What is Draco's reaction when Snape does the deed?
[b]Rachel:[/b] They -- he -- they turn and run really quick -- he's stunned.
[b]Vince:[/b] Ah ...
[b]Rachel:[/b] He was -- he was -- he was so, you know, destroyed pretty much anyway that he -- I don't -- I think he was relieved and scared and, you know -- and disappointed --
[b]Vince:[/b] Oh.
[b]Rachel:[/b] - and -- he looked right for the pa -- I mean -- he looked exactly what I would think you should -- he --
[b]Scott:[/b] Right.
[b]Rachel:[/b] -- but they run so quickly that it's not -- it's hard to capture that too quickly, you know?
[b]Vince:[/b] Bellatrix laughs, right -- or something when -- when it happens?
[b]Rachel:[/b] Yeah, she laughs. She laughs and then, you know, like that, you know -- crazy --
[b]Vince:[/b] She cast the Dark Mark, right?
[b]Rachel:[/b] Yeah.
[b]Vince:[/b] She cast -- yeah.
[b]Rachel:[/b] And that -- that was really cool. I don't think that that was the same as the last -- as the --
[b]Vince:[/b] Oh, so it --
[b]Scott:[/b] Goblet of Fire.
[b]Rachel:[/b] Yeah.
[b]Vince:[/b] -- was a different effect?
[b]Rachel:[/b] Yeah. That was a finished effect. It was really good.
[b]Vince:[/b] Okay.
[b]Scott:[/b] All right.
[b]Vince:[/b] Cool.
[…]
[b]Aaron:[/b] Going all the way back to when Snape tells Harry to be quiet on the tower -- do you think that can be viewed in both the perspectives of Harry -- of Snape is good and both --
[b]Vince:[/b] Good question.
[b]Aaron:[/b] -- that Snape is bad?
[b]Rachel:[/b] Well, I think it was just -- I think this is about -- I think that -- that what they were trying to show is -- is that -- whether or not Harry trusted Snape at that point. And it was obvious because of his -- you know, that he wasn't trusting Snape through some of this movie, but it wasn't super, you know -- it wasn't -- it wasn't -- it wasn't pushed as much as I thought it could be, but it was -- it was definitely there, like -- the idea that Harry did not trust Snape. It really seemed as though, you know, Harry, who -- wasn't -- didn't seem to trust Snape throughout the movie, actually decided to trust Snape at the last minute there and -- and then was totally betrayed, you know, when -- when Snape killed Dumbledore. So ... and that -- that was -- that seemed to be portrayed well enough to bring it into Deathly Hallows as Snape being a bad guy. You know what I mean? (laughs)
[b]Vince:[/b] Yes.
[b]Meesha:[/b] Yeah.[/fieldset][/expand][/LIST][/expand] [expand=28.

[*]Greyback [URL="http://www.snitchseeker.com/harry-potter-news/dave-legeno-talks-filming-half-blood-prince-55005/"]will attack[/URL] Harry. Most likely the attack will happen here, as in the book
[*]It appears that Hagrid's Hut will be burned (staying true to the book) as evidenced by a [URL="http://www.leakylounge.com/Visit-HBP-filmset-t60162.html&pid=1605639&mode=threaded#entry1605639"]set report[/URL]
[indent]Hagrid's hut was a short bus ride away, it had been burned, even saw Hagrid's pumpkin patch though there were no pumpkins. They filmed it burning with a load of cameras (I forget how many they said) because they only got one chance to film it burn. A lot of the outdoor sets have camouflage nets around them. This is because the neighbours complained that the light was reflecting off them and that they were ugly.[/indent]

[*]The battle has been downsized, according to test screening viewers
[indent]There is no battle in hogwarts like in the books. Bellatrix and the others run through Hogwarts triumphantly destroying a bit of the castle in a euphoric tantrum along the way and then Hagrid's house is set on fire. But no one but Harry takes any action and that is only on Snape as far as I can remember. Snape blocks all of Harry's curses.[/indent]
[*]Trailer screenshots show Harry during the Flight of the Prince sequence: [expand=Flight of the Prince][IMG]http://i377.photobucket.com/albums/oo211/hbplist/ch28/normal_hbp_promo_trailer2_042.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i377.photobucket.com/albums/oo211/hbplist/ch28/forest.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i377.photobucket.com/albums/oo211/hbplist/ch28/sc52.jpg[/IMG][/expand]
[*]A test screening attendee confirms the reveal of the Half Blood Prince: [INDENT]Many of you asked what Harry’s reaction to Snape’s revelation that he is the Half-Blood Prince was. To be honest it was hard to say because he was lying on the ground besides being hit with counter curses from Snape, Bellatrix at one point runs up and curses him too, though I am unclear what spell she tried to use on him (much of the spell casting throughout the movie was done without words, and I am guessing, or rather hoping this is because voiceovers were just not added yet, but who knows).
Snape yells at her, saying “Potter belongs to the Dark Lord” and she leaves. That’s when Snape approaches Harry who is on the ground whimpering and enraged. He says the line “[I]You may have your mother’s eyes but you are as dim as your father[/I]” That is when he reveals he is the Half-Blood Prince. Then he leaves.
I was disappointed that we didn't see the "DON'T CALL ME A COWARD!" line (I was waiting for it!) but I wasn't disappointed with the scene overall
He doesn't scream like in the books - Alan Rickman's Snape has always been a lot more "controlled" than Jo Rowling's Snape, though. He is perfectly in character as what I think of as "movie!Snape"... very "dangerous" but no overabundance of anger[/INDENT]

[b]Rachel:[/b] No. He didn't. He wasn't -- he wasn't in the movie very much at all.
[b]Vince:[/b] Is Fang in the movie at all?
[b]Rachel:[/b] I'm sorry?
[b]Vince:[/b] Fang.
[b]Rachel:[/b] I --
[b]Vince:[/b] Fang -- the boarhound.
[b]Rachel:[/b] Yeah. I -- I think he was there at one point, but I don't -- he --
[b]Vince:[/b] Oh.
[b]Rachel:[/b] -- he -- not very much. I mean, they were -- he was barely in the movie. He was there for the necklace scene the most and that's main -- mainly what I remember. I don't -- I just don't remember seeing much of Hagrid at all.
[b]Scott:[/b] That's odd.
[b]Meesha:[/b] Was he there at the end at all -- when they were doing like the -- the candlelight thing?
[b]Rachel:[/b] I believe he was, but I -- yeah, I think he was, but it was -- he didn't stand out unfortunately, (laughs) but I think -- I'm virtually certain the entire school was there.
[b]Meesha:[/b] Oh, okay.
[b]Rachel:[/b] So, yeah. But the person who stood out to me was McGonagall. She looked -- she -- she was the one who captured my eye. So ...
[b]Meesha:[/b] Yeah. Okay. I -- I want to ask you about when -- okay -- Harry chases Snape down -- do they actually duel or -- I mean -- is it just --
[b]Rachel:[/b] I'm sorry? Oh, Harry and --
[b]Meesha:[/b] When Harry chases down Snape and -- I mean -- do -- do they actually have a duel with Harry trying to --
[b]Rachel:[/b] Yes. And actually, that was -- that was --
[b]Meesha:[/b] -- send spells at him?
[b]Rachel:[/b] -- that was actually pretty good -- well done too. It -- the -- Harry tries to curse Snape -- we don't know with what, but he's -- he's ob -- he's throwing curses at him and the -- and -- and Snape has -- it deflects every single one of them. Like, he doesn't get hit by any of them. So --
[b]Meesha:[/b] And how's Rick -- how's Rickman doing through all -- I mean, is he -- can you tell he's angry or --
[b]Rachel:[/b] Yeah. He looks angry, but he also -- I think -- not enough -- for me, it wasn't quite enough.
[b]Meesha:[/b] Uh-huh.
[b]Rachel:[/b] It may have been for some people. It was - for me, it was -- he was a little -- a little too --
[b]Vince:[/b] [inaudible]
[b]Rachel:[/b] -- soft with Harry, you know what I mean? (laughs) But --
[b]Meesha:[/b] Yeah.
[b]Rachel:[/b] But --
[b]Meesha:[/b] Did they cut Buckbeak?
[b]Rachel:[/b] Yeah. (laughter) There's no-- there's no Buckbeak. There's no --
[b]Meesha:[/b] Yeah.
[b]Rachel:[/b] -- Grawp either.
[b]Meesha:[/b] Yeah. Yeah. I kind of --
[b]Vince:[/b] He actually --
[b]Rachel:[/b] At least I don't --
[b]Vince:[/b] -- just leaves?
(laughter)
[b]Meesha:[/b] So Snape --
[b]Vince:[/b] Snape just --
[b]Meesha:[/b] -- Snape just walks away. Nobody intervenes or whatever? He just walks away?
[b]Rachel:[/b] No. But then no one --
[b]Vince:[/b] What hap --
[b]Rachel:[/b] -- really knew he was -- there was anything wrong with Snape in the book either until after -- until they got to the hospital wing, so ...
[b]Meesha:[/b] Uh-huh.
[b]Scott:[/b] Hmm.
[b]Rachel:[/b] You know, that wasn't out of character -- you know out of --
[b]Meesha:[/b] Right.
[b]Rachel:[/b] -- [inaudible] wrong necessarily, you know, but no one seemed to know -- no -- none -- there was no teachers around or any -- no one was -- no one had caught up with them. It was just -- it was just Harry and Snape. And -- oh, Bella --
[b]Meesha:[/b] Right.
[b]Rachel:[/b] -- and Bellatrix runs up and tries -- and -- and then curses Harry and -- and gets Harry and Harry -- so Harry is down on the ground by the -- when Ha -- when --
[b]Vince:[/b] Snape --
[b]Rachel:[/b] -- Snape --
[b]Vince:[/b] [inaudible]
[b]Rachel:[/b] -- goes up to him --
[b]Vince:[/b] Yeah.
[b]Rachel:[/b] -- and says, you know -- says -- and says, you know, "you're as -- you -- you may have your mother's eyes, but you're -- you're as dim as your father" and then he says that -- "I am the Half-Blood Prince" or something like that. (laughs) And, I think --
[b]Vince:[/b] Ahh ... that's all he says? That's all he says about that?
[b]Rachel:[/b] Yeah.
[b]Vince:[/b] He just says that he's --
[b]Rachel:[/b] It wasn't [inaudible] --
[b]Scott:[/b] Was there a line -- a line about not using my own spells against me or something along --
[b]Rachel:[/b] No.
[b]Scott:[/b] -- those lines?
[b]Rachel:[/b] No. I didn't -- I didn't -- unless it -- unless I missed it, but I was lis -- I was listening for it so I -- I'm virtually certain it wasn't there. I was hoping --
[b]Scott:[/b] Oh. Okay.
[b]Rachel:[/b] -- for it. I liked that line. (laughs)
[b]Meesha:[/b] Yeah. That --
[b]Vince:[/b] Yeah, me too.
[b]Meesha:[/b] -- was a good scene.
[b]Rachel:[/b] I thought it was good. I thought the whole -- actually, I -- I thought that they were going to keep that dialog from the book because I thought it was usable --
[b]Meesha:[/b] Right.
[b]Rachel:[/b] -- but they didn't. So --
[b]Meesha:[/b] Yeah. It -- it sounds like they watered it down a little bit and --
[b]Rachel:[/b] I understand that they get --
[b]Meesha:[/b] Yeah.
[b]Rachel:[/b] -- you know, they don't use things from the books because it --
[b]Meesha:[/b] Right.
[b]Rachel:[/b] -- it can't -- more because it doesn't apply, but this applied. (laughs)
[b]Meesha:[/b] And that --
[b]Rachel:[/b] You know?
[b]Meesha:[/b] Yeah. That -- that will probably make more sense when they get to Deathly Hallows too so ... yeah.
[b]Rachel:[/b] Yeah. Yeah. So ...[/fieldset][/expand]
[*]Producer David Heyman [url=http://www.snitchseeker.com/harry-potter-news/exclusive-david-heyman-talks-dumbledore-s-funeral-hogwarts-battle-more-update-4-a-59248/]was interviewed[/url] about the film, one of the questions concerning the omissions at the end of the film: [indent] As you know, Half-Blood Prince screenings were recently held in Chicago, which has given fans an idea what to expect come July 2009. Many were shocked to see the omission of the Battle at Hogwarts and Dumbledore's funeral. Can you explain why these scenes were left out?
DAVID HEYMAN: The reason why we left out the Battle at Hogwarts is because we have a battle at Hogwarts in the Seventh film and we are avoiding repetition. Dumbledore’s funeral was something that I really loved and is a fantastic part of the book and part of me would have loved it in the film. But we decided that while we loved it that what we came up with was the right ending for the film that we had made.[/indent][/list][/expand] [expand=29. The Phoenix Lament][LIST][*]Test screening viewers tell us of the discovery of Dumbledore’s body [indent]Harry then returns to find the whole school gathered around Dumbledore's body, McGonagall in the front completely stunned and silent. Harry kneels down at Dumbledore's side, brushes a hair out of his face and finds the locket, but does not open it. Clutching the locket He starts to cry and Ginny goes and holds him also crying. Then following McGonagall's lead, everyone lights there wand (I think they all murmur something in unison but I can't remember what) and slowly raise them as one in the air. Final shot of that scene is from above with all the lighted wands surrounding the tower, Dumbledore, Harry and Ginny
The scene with Dumbledore's body at the foot of the tower is very, very cool... I cried. Everyone is gathered around - I mean, lots of students, faculty, etc. Harry is next to the body, crying, and Ginny is comforting him - all of the others are keeping a respectful distance. Someone - I don't remember whom - raises their wand in the air, lighted up at the tip, and everyone else slowly follows suit as the camera pans out until all you can see are the lighted tips of the raised wands[/indent]
[*]Rachezee discussed this scene in [url=http://princewatch.mypodcast.com/2008/09/Episode_3_The_Birds_the_Wizard_and_the_Vanishing_Cabinet_Rachezee_Speaks_Part_1_of_a_Princewatch_Exclusive_Interview-145452.html]her appearance on PrinceWatch[/url]:[expand=PrinceWatch Transcript][fieldset=PrinceWatch episode 3] [b]Meesha:[/b]… and they’ve got the tribute to Dumbledore – was that like a candlelight vigil with their wands?
[b]Rachel:[/b] Yeah, yeah it was definitely like a ceremonial type of raising of their wands – you know what I mean? It – there was meaning behind it – so, it was good – it looked nice. (laughs) It’s not the funeral but I mean at the same time, I actually wasn’t expecting the funeral. I think the cost of getting all those people for it would have been enormous so –
[…]
[b]Vince:[/b] And the scene at the bottom of the tower too like – and he sees the body at the bottom of the tower…
[b]Rachel:[/b] Yeah, and he fixes he – and he goes up to Dumbledore and he like fixes his hair or – moves the hair out of his face or something and then he starts to cry and then Ginny comes up…
[b]Scott:[/b] Was Dan good in that scene or was it another – “he was their friend”
[b]Rachel:[/b] No, he was good – he wasn’t screaming –
[b]Meesha:[/b] Oh, good
[b]Rachel:[/b] – he wasn’t overacting. I thought, well – this is just a personal opinion – I just thought that it looked slightly po – like Ginny was kind of holding him in an awkward way (laughs) like but it still was effective, you know what I mean? She was crying too…
[b]Scott:[/b] But the emotions were – were good, it was the…
[b]Rachel:[/b] Were there, yeah – I just remember thinking; she must be really uncomfortable (laughs) that was about it (laughs)
[b]Vince:[/b] Was she like sobbing or like – sobbing or tearing or…
[b]Rachel:[/b] Yeah, sobbing – the quiet sobbing, you know what I mean?
[b]Vince:[/b] Oh ok, that’s good
[b]Meesha:[/b] Yeah
[b]Rachel:[/b] But it’s truly a devas – you know it’s a devastating moment. I think they could have used Hagrid being there to say something but he wasn’t.
[b]Vince:[/b] But then if they put the music in there – the sad music that…
[b]Rachel:[/b] And that is what was missing is the – effective music for that scene would make all the difference in the world –[/fieldset][/expand]
[*]The second trailer and a picture showed this scene: [IMG]http://i377.photobucket.com/albums/oo211/hbplist/ch29/mortedumbledoremt4or6.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i377.photobucket.com/albums/oo211/hbplist/ch29/normal_hbp_promo_trailer2_036.jpg[/IMG]
[*]Tonks and Remus’ part in this scene has presumably been cut, according to Nat Tena.
[*]There's a picture of Harry and McGonagall in Dumbledore’s Office assumed to be after the Battle. Harry appears to be holding the Elder Wand; Test screeners have noted this scene cut:

[expand=30. The White Tomb][LIST][*]There is a scene is the common room, according test screening viewers vague remembrances
[indent]No there is something in between but my memory of it is vague, I remember Harry standing alone looking at his dormitory, then he goes downstairs where Hermione Ginny and Ron, maybe Neville? Not sure, but they are sitting solemnly in the common room. One of them says "Harry's here" and they all turn to look, but I honestly can not remember what happens next but it was very brief.
I believe Hermione does asked Harry how he is doing regarding Sirius. This would be sometime during the scene in Ron's Room when they are all sitting on the floor (there is a picture floating around of this). My memory is that he answers with an "I'm fine" with an obvious sense of more meaning, but he did not want to talk about it, kind of thing. Otherwise I do not recall any other mention of him
No Eileen Prince, but then, Hermione was not actively trying to figure out who the prince was. As for more explaination at the end about the Half-Blood Prince, I did not hear any. However, there is the scene I somewhat missed due to those annoying girls babbling away next to me at the end with Harry coming down to the common room to join Hermione, Ron and Ginny. I don't know what they said. It may have been about the Prince. I just don't know. *grumbles*[/indent]
[*]Mad Eye Moody has been cut and will not appear in this scene.
[*]A reliable source seems to have confirms the rumour that the funeral was cut
[indent]but Dumbledore's funeral has been cut.[/indent]
[*]However it seems it's just been "adapted" due to a comment made by Yates: [indent]"The film's playfulness is going to be great, and Dumbledore's death will be quite moving. Steve has taken the funeral from the book and written a beautiful scene. One of Jo's recurring themes is death and loss, and even though the sixth movie is playful and funny, Steve has adapted that Half-Blood Prince scene in a very poignant, plaintive, and special way"[/indent]
[*][url=http://www.snitchseeker.com/harry-potter-news/virgin-media-previews-half-blood-prince-hints-new-revelation-58130/]Virgin Media’s preview[/url] stated there was a surprise at the end of the film. Whether it is a surprise for the book fans or for the movie-only fans, it is uncertain. [indent]If you thought that you knew everything about Harry Potter then think again, producers have hinted that some new revelations about the boy wizard will be revealed in the closing minutes of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince! Ooooh...[/indent]
[*]Test screening viewers describe the last scene of the film [indent]The last scene begins with the four of them there. Harry and Hermione at first are the only ones we see looking out into the grounds discussing the locket. Ginny and Ron are behind them on the sculpture and when we see them as hermione reads RAB's note.
Speaking of the locket - some others have asked about RAB's note. In the very last scene with the Trio plus Ginny at the top of the astronomy tower, Harry and Hermione are talking and she says something like- "Its hard to believe that contains a piece of Voldemort's soul."
He says something like "actually it doesn't. Its a fake. Open it, see for yourself." Hermione opens it and finds the note and reads it for us all to hear. I am virtually certain the note is identically worded to the one in the book. Harry says he knows that RAB has the real locket and they have to find him, or it. (Ginny and Ron are sitting on a sculpture behind them quietly listening) Ron probably says something but I don't remember what, because at some point towards the very end he joins Harry and Hermione.
Harry then says he is going alone to find the Horcruxes. Hermione says something like, yeah right, you think your going alone? We are coming too. (major paraphrasing there) Then Ginny not saying a word sadly just walks away and leaves. She actually does not speak during the entire scene. Nor is she spoken to. She just listens looking sadder and increasingly heartbroken. [/indent]
[*]The third trailer, released November, showed this scene: [IMG]http://i377.photobucket.com/albums/oo211/hbplist/ch30/sc11.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i377.photobucket.com/albums/oo211/hbplist/ch30/sc49.jpg[/IMG]
[*]Fawkes’ departure is in the film, from a comment made from a test screening viewer
[indent]No fawkes lament, but the end of the final scene is the trio watching fawkes flying joyously through the blue sky and away. Movie ends.[/indent][/LIST][/expand]
