Harry Potter discussion

I just saw an HD version of the DH snippet shown on the MTV Movie Awards--MORE AMAZING SCENES! Check out the fight between Ron and Harry and the split second of Ron wielding the sword! Here is the YouTube link:

What do you all think?

I couldn't even tell that was Ron with the sword. They also have a clip of the dragon in Gringrots. Does that mean they're cutting the movie just before they go to Hogwarts or are these clips from both movies? I haven't seen a ton of buzz for this movie, but maybe that's because we still have several months. There's some good scenes in this. I like the clip of the fight.

It's a clip for both movies since it includes lines from Voldemort's confrontation with Harry in the forest. ("No sign of him, my lord" and "The boy who lived, come to die.") Also the Harry/Ginny kiss (It looks better than the one in HBP, at least) looks like it's at Hogwarts, since there are kids running out behind them, so it could be in Part II. I really like the bit of Ron yelling at Harry too. I also think the bit of the trio on the beach outside Shell Cottage looks great.

I thought the producers already decided they were splitting it at Malfoy Manor.

Pandy, I hadn't even paid attention to the Voldemort part. Duh! The kiss does look better, but Ginny looks even taller than Harry. Can't they give him a step stool or something :). The Shell Cottage clip was good too. This is getting me excited for the movie.

ahah i am so excited! this looks really good... they do such a good job bringing the books to the screen!

I am sooooooo excited!!!! Can't wait!! I am reallly curious to see how they're going to bring this one to the screen. It's going to be great- the actors are so used to their roles now and the directors've been planning this for ages...really pleased they're chopping it into 2. More awesomeness for us to enjoy!!

Yep, I think both parts of DH are included here, just to whet our appetites for Part 1--as if we needed that! XD As for the split, I think it will be when the Trio is captured just before Malfoy Manor, but we'll all have to wait until November to see for sure. I'M SO EXCITED TOO!

Hopefully we might have a better idea of where the split could be after the test screening, but I guess it could change even after that. I wonder if we'll get a trailer only for Part I. That could help in finding out exactly where the films are split too.

I'm surprised we haven't had many trailers/teasers out yet.

Teaser (Sorry if the link stops working. It should be on all the HP sites soon, but these are the first few so far)!! I love it!

it looks so amazing! i love the part with harry telling voldemort; "I have something to live for..."

Thanks, Pandy. I knew that was coming out today and I forgot to look for it.

so thats the one coming out today? sweet!

Do you think it was intentional with Eclipse coming out tomorrow? I have to say, it was nice to see it today for that very reason.

yeah, its the one thats going to play before Eclipse...

I was going to post this link! Thanks for doing it, Pandy! I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE DH!!! :D

No problem. :)

I'VE MEMORIZED ONE COMMERICIAL:

NO SIGN OF HIM, MY LORD. BRING HIM TO ME. I MUST BE THE ONE TO KILL HARRY POTTER. THE BOY WHO LIVED COME TO DIE. AHHHHH! YOU GOTTA KNOW HOW THIS FEELS! WELL YOU DON'T KNOW HOW IT FEELS. YOUR PARENTS ARE DEAD. YOU HAVE NO FAMILY. STOP STOP IT! YOU ONLY NEED OUT STAND A CHANCE.

DID YOU KNOW THERE MIGHT BE NUDE SCENES IN THE MOVIE?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! THERE'S ONE IN THE KING CROSS STATION (DUH. WHEN HARRY WAKES UP, HE'S NAKED BUT HE DOES PUT ON A ROBE LATER...) AND ONE IN THE HOROCRUX SCENE, WHERE THE HOROCRUX HARRY AND HERMIONE GET IT ON TO MAKE RON JEALOUS!!!!!! AND THEY'RE NAKED!!!!! I REALLY CAN'T EXPRESS TO YOU HOW MAD AND SHOCKED I AM!!!!! I WISH THERE WERE BIGGER CAPS!!!!!!!!

These films are supposed to be more mature than the others, but the filmmakers have said that they are not okay with an R rating, so the films will most likely be rated PG-13 in the US and 12A in the UK. I don't think any nudity shown will be that shocking. They might only show Harry waist up, like in GoF, or they could use special effects or different camera angles to show a limited amount.

Or they won't make anyone naked at all. I mean, it's a pretty easy, painless thing to gloss over in a movie. It's not like everyone's going to be upset over the non-accuracy of the nudity.

David Yates made a comment about including some nudity ( http://www.snitchseeker.com/harry-pot... ), which is where these comments are coming from. (There are a couple topics on this under the "Movies" category in this group.)

The King's cross nudity is ok because it's part of the book and again they can gloss it over or just show the top half of Radcliffe. But the nude scene with Harry and Hermione is wrong! Just saying!

There could be a something like an eerie, smoky effect surrounding the Riddle-Hermione and Riddle-Harry. I still don't think that this scene will end up being too ojectionable, but I agree that any nudity is unnecessary here.
