agree with Anonymous. I was hoping they wouldn’t cut that scene. It will be fab.

I REALLY hope they dont cut dubledores last scene EVER or the giganticly cool battle either. pivotal scenes. pivotal scenes. EXTREMELY so. the flight of the prince is cool and real important, but i really hope they dont cut the DA and the Order fighting the Death Eaters, and the bike scene, on a plus, sounds totally awesome.

ravenclawguy1972 I’m in complete agreement with you. I would hope that they would end the film with a shot of the White Tomb. To Martha: I think I read somewhere that they might begin the DH with Dumbledore’s funeral. I might be mistaken. I know that HBP won’t be until July. But the 10 yr old in me has hope it’s released at Christmas. lol

I think that the final scene of the film is with the trio plus ginny somewhere talking. I think the top of a tower but don’t quote me on that. Ginny and ron are in the background and hermione and harry are in the foreground discussing the note in the RAB locket, discussing that they have to do something about it. Ginny does not take part in the conversation and just walks away when ron joins hermione and harry and we end with the trio together as usually.

I also think even though they have split DH into two films, that doesn’t mean that they are going to be able to include everything that is in the book. They are still going to have to make cuts and i was afraid that this would be one because it isn’t technically necessary. They could just have harry be at the burrow at the beginning of the film. Believe me, i hope not. The seven potters is a great scene that really shows the danger the entire group is in straight off.

My real fear is that the absence of Dumbledore´s funeral means that they will mess up the hallows plot in DH. If we won’t see Dumbledore´s tomb in HBP, maybe Voldemort will not take the wand from it in DH. And depending on how they will film Voldemort taking possession of the elder wand, all the explanation about why the killing curse rebound in the final book will be lost.

I may have misread, and someone may have addressed this. Some folks seem to be confusing ‘Half Blood Prince’ and ‘Deathly Hallows’…if I remember, there is
no “hagrid flying on the motorcycle” in ‘Half Blood Prince’…I’m kinda in a
run, so I’ll check later….let’s not get too excited about ‘Deathly Hallows’ until
‘Half Blood Prince’ has screened, eh?

It always makes me think of Hedwig!!! :( So sad that part… :(

But glad they are keeping it! everything should be in the movies since they are creating 2 movies! everything!

Confederate Lady…we were talking about scenes we wanted to see in the DH movie. Sorry for the confusion. I hope they do the scenes justice. It’s gonna be awesome to see 7 Harry’s flying around everywhere. To Sofia….I agree with you, they really need Dumbledore’s funeral to set the mood for the DH movies. It’s just such an important part of the books. To leave it out would just be wrong. But I do have to say I love love loved the teaser trailer!!!!!

Looking forward to seeing ‘The Seven Potters’ on screen – should be exciting.

I think the best reason for them to keep the seven potters and have harry begin at his aunt and uncles house is to show his aunt and uncle again. I mean this is the end. There is no more. I sort of think they should have that last moment at their house. I just don’t know if the scene is vital to the plot of the films.

I agree that not showing the funeral does bring a lot of questions of what happens with the wand. I remember reading that one of the reasons they split DH into two books was so they could actually show the hallows. There just wouldn’t have been time to rid the world of the remaining four horcruxes and then kill voldemort in only one film.

Does anyone remember in the pre-screening? Do they show draco disarm dumbledore? I just can’t remember it being mentioned.

@Moody One: LOL! I thought I had misread! I’m kinda “fuzzy”, that early. VERY cool. I agree with all of the thoughts. I hope it all goes well…DH is so far away. I [for one] hope they do NOT cut Dumbledor’s Funeral. But I’m afraid they will. I just don’t know how they’re going to “tie the two together”. At least, as they say, they will NOT be cutting much [if anything] from DH. It will be interesting, decarus, to see just where they split the last one.

i cant wait for the new harry potter movies either!! rupert gets HOTTER and HOTTER every time!! you would think it was impossible!!!! lmao

AAHH! Deathly Hallows! Just hearing discussion about these scenes gets me hyped. They better not mess it up, its my favourite!

so many things come full circle in DH as Jo intended…so many friendly nods to the previous 6 books…I so hope that WB puts those little moments in for the fans…like Sirius’ motorbike—its the opening scene in HPSS and now we have it confirmed that it will be nearly “opening scene” in the last film (even if it is two parts)…God I can’t wait for the remaining films… but even more so, I keep hoping and praying that Jo will relent and write more HP in some form…I know in my heart of hearts she misses it as much as we all do! Take a long deserved break, but some day Jo, pleeeeeze write more HP…. PLEASE???? :-)

hagrid is freakin’ ace, much love for robbie coltrane right here!
