Very interesting… First to post?

Although no choir existed in Hogwarts, it would be awesome for them to sing in Latin. Ahem, possibly a song for them to learn their spells to. Imagine, expelliarmus, reparo, and sectumsempra all in the same line. Why NOT! I learned world history according to Billy Joel’s: We Didn’t Start the Fire.

Does anyone know if the Sectumsempra counter-curse will be song-like in the movie, like how it was described in the book?

well now I’m pouting – why do they have to tell us about a choir piece if it got cut? thats just mean… (Personally I like to think that there WAS musical opportunities at Hogwarts, and that since we saw things through Harry’s point of view – we just didn’t see it)… (I’m still on the lookout for a large stuffed frog to go with my Hogwarts Student outfit I’ve put together, because I LOVE the song Double Trouble – and if we’d had one in Latin it would have been even better! – said the girl who sings Latin in the shower: Sicut cervus, desederat ad fontes…)

But movie!Hogwarts does have a choir. Professor Flitwick conducts, and they sang “Double Trouble” in Prisoner of Azkaban, then we saw Flitwick’s inspection by Umbridge while he was directing vocal exercises. The original place for “In Noctem” would have been an interesting contrast, so let’s hope for it to be a deleted scene on the DVD!

Why must Ravenclaw’s Head of house have to conduct the choir? Why not Snape? That would be funner!

Or as the the bonus content on CD’s would be nice! :)

so ummm… a fews months ago I was reading a leaked script of the movie containing a couple scenes, one of which included this choir scene, and I have to say, it sounded very cool, and i was looking forward to seeing it… Basically it was cutting back and forth from the high tension right after Harry and Dumbledore’s return from the cave, to Draco and the choir.

I believe it it cut from Harry and Dumbledore’s return, to the choir in the Great Hall, then to McGonagall looking into the mysterious clouds in the sky, the choir, and Snape looking into the sky. (?) Also, Draco climbs out of bed, past the choir, and to the Room of Requirement, where he knows it is time to open the vanishing cabinet.

I did read somewhere before this interview, however, that the scene was going to be cut because it broke the momentum between the scene of the Cave and the Astronomy Tower. (I’ll be happy either way… I just want the real movie!!)

It is a pity that this choir piece was omitted from the final film, as I am certain that this musical creation would have complemented and enhanced the tension and anxiety running through the climax with remarkable ease.

He does a pretty good job. But I still prefer John Williams.

Ah, I’ve got my tickets to the midnight release. ; D I’ll definitely be going decked out in Slytherin appreal and house colors as per every year. I’d loev to see the choir back again. I loved those frogs so very much. Double, double, toil and trouble, fire burns and cauldrons bubble~? Is that it?

news about hbp = makes me even more excited. ohh my goodness. <3

the music is amazing

aww, that’s too bad— I love choral pieces!
