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.

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.

    • Meta is reusing old DDR4 RAM in its servers instead of buying new hardware

      The fact that memory in general is so high I have to take a loan out to build a computer now is just beyond stupid. Who's really to blame here? Low supply or high demand?
    • Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) 18.1.5.5

      By Copernic · Posted

      Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) 18.1.5.5 by Razvan Serea Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) is a utility for completely removing AMD/NVIDIA/INTEL graphics drivers and related packages from your system, attempting to eliminate all leftovers (including registry entries, folders and files, driver store). Though AMD/NVIDIA/INTEL drivers can usually be removed via the Windows Control Panel, this uninstaller tool was created for situations where standard uninstall fails, or when you need to fully remove NVIDIA or ATI graphics card drivers. After using this driver cleaner, your system will behave as though it’s the first time you’re installing a new driver—similar to a fresh Windows installation. As with all such tools, we recommend creating a restore point beforehand, allowing you to undo changes if issues arise. If you're having trouble installing an older or newer driver, try it—there are reports that it resolves such problems. Recommended usage: The tool can be used in Normal mode but for absolute stability when using DDU, Safemode is always the best. Make a backup or a system restore (but it should normally be pretty safe). It is best to exclude the DDU folder completely from any security software to avoid issues. You do NOT need to uninstall the driver prior using DDU. Requirements: .NET Framework 4.8 Compatible with Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10, and 11 (32-bit or 64-bit) Note: Using on Insider Preview builds is at your own risk. Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) 18.1.5.5 changelog: Added 'Reset to recommended' button for the Options. General fixes and improvements.

WACUP 1.99.51.24568 Preview changelog: Fixed a deadlock seen from the recent crash reports when doing some of the drag + drop actions within the media library window Fixed a loading crash seen related to a problem with some of the artwork cache image files being restored which should now be better handled allowing for the bad image to be removed without it failing Fixed a deadlock seen from the recent crash reports when the internal metadata cache clearing is triggered which could block the main ui thread for too long with this now being moved to a background thread Fixed some performance issues with some of the methods related to determining artwork support which mainly affected the local library import / refresh (this is still slower for some compared to other players because there's more data & artwork aspects being checked for which means doing more processing on a single file despite the best of attempts to reduce duplicate / heavy processing where possible) Fixed a crash with the JTFE based missing files hotkey which no one seems to have used for an age for this to appear (maybe it's time to seriously consider stripping out features that aren't being used) Fixed how some of the file types which use extra information to reference their sub-songs is handled which was preventing some from being correctly resolved back to their base file (noticed fixing above) Fixed an issue with the handling of files with underscores in their filepath which wasn't being correctly handled causing some of the filename to be lost when shown as the title if title reading is delayed Fixed a few things that might be behind NotSoDirect not being stable for some setups though am still not certain that the changes done for this are going to fully resolve the problem from the crash reports Fixed the OS toast handling when there's no prior shortcut in the OS start menu to now create the shortcut (needed to allow the yes/no buttons for the new build / post-release toast) to be done as a hidden one so it's less likely to cause annoyance for those not wanting to see it whilst still allowing this less than ideal OS api implementation requirement to be met to avoid toasts without the needed buttons Fixed a regression when moving from taglib1 to taglib2 which broke some of the handling in place to allow for external programs to still access files when wacup has a held open cached instance of the file Everything else Updated cppwinrt (gen_win10shell.dll) to 3.0.260520.1 (26 May 2026) Updated libcurl (libcurl.dll) to 8.2.1 (24 Jun 2026) Updated Monkey's Audio (in_ape.dll) to 13.15 (28 Jun 2026) Updated mpg123 (mpg123.dll) to 1.33.6 (6 Jun 2026) Updated OpenSSL (libcurl.dll) to 3.5.7 (9 Jun 2026) Updated pugixml to 1.16 (16 Jun 2026) Updated taglib (tag2.dll) to 2.3.0 (11 May 2026) Updated vgmstream (in_vgmstream.dll) to the latest Git commit from 28 Jun 2026 Download: WACUP 64-bit | 9.6 MB (Freeware) Download: WACUP 32-bit View: WACUP Website | Screenshots Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
