Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Film)

In the latest issue of Empire magazine Emma Watson spoke about a scene they have included which was only hinted at in the book: (Spoilers)

?The film opens with Hermione wiping her parents? memories [of her] and leaving their house. You don?t read that in the book; you just know she does it. That?s a scene that Steve Kloves and David Yates wrote for the film, which I was happy about because you see the sacrifice that Harry and Ron make to be Harry?s friend.?

?You never really get a sense of Hermione?s life outside Hogwarts, outside that friendship, and it?s important. You?re choosing between family and friends; it?s pretty brutal. They offer her a cup of tea, completely unaware that anything is about happen, and then I cast a spell that wipes their memory of me. There are photos all around the room, actual childhood pictures of me, and they just dissolve. It?s horrible. And then I have to shut the door and walk out alone.?

I bumped into the guy who plays Ron Weasley at a friends private art showing last night. It was odd to think how rich he must be and the fact that my friends work would probably have been worth more if he had ****ed all over it. He seemed like a down to earth guy though.

Will you stop posting these already. :laugh: At this point I'm so hyped for this movie that I'm gonna go for a midnight premiere along all those cloaked children :p

sounds a bit dodgy :rofl:

I want to go to a midnight screening as well! :D

While I like the TV spot overall (

Dumbledore's ghost

is espicially awesome &

Nagini in Malfoy Manor

both will look awesome in 3d) some shots looked a bit odd like the unnecessary OotP shots and

the circling shot around Luna's house

looks a bit too CGI-ed.

I finally checked and the movie hasn't been shot in 3D, it's going to be converted to 3D from 2D, so I think I'm gonna see 2D version. I saw Clash of the Titans (also converted from 2D) in 3D and compared to movies shot in 3D (ie Avatar) the effect is more chaotic (the depth of field is really unnatural).

Nick Moran's Potter scenes too gory

Nick Moran has revealed that some of his scenes in the new Harry Potter were cut because they were too gory.

The actor-director plays evil villain Scabior, a snatcher from Fenrir Greyback's gang of werewolves, in Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows.

"The scenes I did were really, really dark, really, really dark, but when I went to see them they cut some of the worst bits out, and I was talking to producer David Heyman, saying, 'Oh no, why's that gone?' He said, apparently it was like watching Saw," Nick told Absolute Radio DJ Christian O'Connell.

Nick - who is promoting his second directorial effort, The Kid, starring Natascha McElhone - has enjoyed being part of the final Harry Potter film, which will be released in two parts.

"It's been brilliant. I'm the new baddie in the Harry Potter film. I can't really give too much away - it's hilarious, because your script has a watermark in it," he recalled.

"It says a number, which is on every page, so that if you lose it, everyone knows it was you. So it's all top secret."

:: The Kid is in cinemas now.

No idea what the heck could possibly be Saw-worthy that they had to cut, we know from the test screening that the scene with

ron splinched (sp?) will show his shoulder's exposed muscles and bone and would be fairly bloody

but that's not what is reported in this news article. If DH got a PG rating as HBP I would shoot myself. :p

I finally checked and the movie hasn't been shot in 3D, it's going to be converted to 3D from 2D, so I think I'm gonna see 2D version. I saw Clash of the Titans (also converted from 2D) in 3D and compared to movies shot in 3D (ie Avatar) the effect is more chaotic (the depth of field is really unnatural).

Not all the converted 2D films would be rushed with a crappy result as Clash of the Titans, I haven't seen Alice in Wonderland but I read before that the 3D effect was pretty good and it wasn't shot in 3D.

I'm not sure what todo in terms of how to watch Deatlhy Hallows. Where possible, I prefer to goto the IMax - it's a bit more expensive, but usually it's worth paying that lil bit extra, given the screen size, resolution, and fact that it's generally a better environment to watch a film, compared to a regular cinema. However, 3D drives me barmy - I'm not a huge fan of it, and the only time it's ever worked - which was Avatar (IMax, again), it gave me the mother of all headaches.

Does anyone know if this'll be like the last HP film - where there are just certain sequences that are "presented" in 3D - like the opening of HP6, or will the entire film be in 3d?

Not all the converted 2D films would be rushed with a crappy result as Clash of the Titans, I haven't seen Alice in Wonderland but I read before that the 3D effect was pretty good and it wasn't shot in 3D.

I saw Alice in 3D at the theater and the result wasn't that good, the problem with converted movies is the depth of field I've mentioned above - the scenes are 3D, you can see depth, but parts of the frame are still out of focus - for me it's really confusing.

It will be entirely in 3d...

Hmm - dilema, dilema time then - Where humanly possible, I prefer not to watch 3D films, but on the other hand, I waaay prefer going to the IMax these days.

I'll probably decide closer to the release date, when the reviews start to filter in.

    • I'm not unblocking my camera for this crapola. Sorry, Google.
    • Ummmm that is what is it supposed to do. Just turn if off in settings if you do not want it analyzing your open tabs. Chrome does the same thing with Gemini. Sarfari will do the samething after Apple's AI and even more so with the release of their 27 versions that is now powered by Googles LLM/ML models. Understanding why it is doing it and how it can help you vs jumping to some conspiracy theroy is a much better approach. As long as it can be turned off, all is good. Yes the default should be off but the a lot of people would never discover these features.
    • Just another reason (aside from many others) not to use Edge. Firefox 153.0b5 DEx64 has a similar feature added recently in prior builds that I will turn off at some point when I get around to it. It's the new "Something looks suspicious" page that pops up here and there. It cleverly hides itself between web pages that I've actually visited; as a result, you know, of selecting a web page and telling the browser where to go. The interesting thing is that it does not produce these warnings from pages that I, as the only intelligent user of the browser in my system, have ever directed the browser to open! What seems to be happening is that the browser looks at all the goofy ad links on a web page I do actually open and selects one that "looks suspicious" and then creates the "something looks suspicious" web page, which is neatly inserted, as mentioned, between web pages my RB ("real brain") has directed the browser to load in a session. The thing is, I usually look at links I am considering to follow before I ask the browser to load them, and in cases I have noticed where the link does indeed look suspicious, most of the time I will choose to not follow the link at all. Doesn't everyone do this or something similar? I am picky about what I voluntarily load... (I don't like links that start off fine, with a site designaiton that seems normal enough but then is followed by indecipherable alphanumeric strings many, many lines long, etc. I tend to reject those because they look suspicious. They may not be, but I don't care... I'll stay with Firefox, of course, if for no other reason than they usually let you turn off the junk you don't like. And because it isn't Edge... But at some point Microsoft will come to realize that putting your bookmarks on the left side is a Good Thing for a lot of people, just as Microsoft discovered when it had the bright idea of nailing the Windows taskbar to the bottom of the screen, when for decades Microsoft browsers had left that placement up to the user. They have finally reversed the obscenity of that decision. Finally.
    • Google was using the old CATPCHAs data to train their LLMs. What is the say they won't use this camera data of users to train their LLM? these companies need some strict regulations!
