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?

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.
