WB screened some "raw and unfinished" footage from Deathly Hallows tonight at ShoWest. Alan Horn, president of WB, introduced the 4-to-7-minute-long clip, according to a report from Collider. Collider:
The footage started with Voldemort walking in the forest with all of his followers around him. He was looking for Harry. While I assumed the footage was going to be just from the first Harry Potter movie coming this November, I think the opening was from part 2 and it was from the big climatic battle between Harry and Voldemort!
Cinemablend:
The footage shown came from all sections of The Deathly Hallows, so it's impossible to tell where they will split up the two movies. We saw little bits of everything, from the seven Harry Potters escaping from the Dursleys house (totally surreal) to the attack at Bill and Fleur's wedding to the escape from Gringotts on the pale dragon and even Hogwarts on fire. With unfinished effects it's hard to really say how it all looks, though some of the most effective moments were the simplest-- Ron and Harry's fight in the tent, Harry visiting his parents' graves, running away from the Snatchers in the woods, Harry defiantly telling Voldemort that he stays alive "because I have something worth fighting for." One odd moment-- one of the final shots was of Hermione riding a broom, by herself, escaping from a fireball that's likely the curse that Crabbe and Goyle set off in the Room of Requirement near the end. Did Hermione ever ride a broom by herself in the books? Is this a change that will mean something bigger, or just something convenient so the movie doesn't have to bother explaining that Hermione isn't good on a broom?
If anyone was lucky enough to be there, please let us know! Thanks to Mariene, Thomas and Alex!

Finally some news related to DH the movie (& not related to the actors)!!!
Hermione riding a broom, it was never implied in the books that she could fly/enjoyed flying. And in PoA the movie (the HP movie that you guys love to hate, looking at the response to my comments in the previous "Jason Isaacs character ending" article), while riding on Buckbeak with Harry, she actually says,"And I dont like flyiiiiiiiing!!" I remember thinking at that moment,"At least shes not good at something!!" It would be great if thats shown as a flashback scene (during the broom riding scene), just to show how far shes come, as far as flying is concerned!! I read the whole article on Snitch Seeker and the part in which Harry defiantly telling Voldemort that he stays alive "because I have something worth fighting for" , is filmed with Bellatrix as well, Bellatrix is with Voldemort at this point...

im excited... hogwarts was kinda on fire... like the room of requirement was on fire.. and i think at one point when the ceiling was blasted off or something it may have been on fire.. idk... so far i like it from what this article is saying but i hope its not some mushy comedy like they made the 6th one... this movie is supposed to be like hardcore action, never know when youre gonna die type thing.. this better not be a comedy..

Id prefer not to see any more clips from the deathly hallows - I hate when they show too many previews of different parts of the movie and then it ruins the movie - especially when they are parts that are different from the books themselves.
I like waiting in suspense for the next movie, we all already know how it ends, but it will be interesting to see how they portray it on the silver screen. :)
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2010-03-19 06:41:24
ahh it sounds so GOOD!
but i also wouldnt want to see this clip, i dont want to see too much before the movie.
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2010-03-19 06:52:35
If memory serves, there is a scene in the books where Hermoine flies on a broomstick... and afterward comments to Harry and Ron how she hates flying via broom.

zomg! This is awesome! Im a really book fan, and Ive never been that excited about the movies in general, but DH was my favourite book and everything weve heard so far shows that this is going to be an awesome experience and a fantastic way to end the series.
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2010-03-19 07:10:25
This is going to be the ultimate showdown. I have a really strong movie that these two films will be the ones to give the series the proper recognition from non-fans it deserves. I cannot wait to see...well...everything. The post-battle confrontation with Voldemort sounds like it will be epic; and the scenes in the tent are going to be great. Im actually more excited for the tent scenes than I am for others, mainly because those scenes will truly test the trios friendship and...acting skills. Most of the greatest movies leave room for dialogue and plainly give you a breather. Ive always felt that the previous Potter films have been too fast-paced at times and do not allow the trio to explor their friendship. I have a strong feeling that will not be the case here. For once, I think the spirit of the book--the humanity and the action--will be translated flawlessly.

I think it says in The Seven Potters that Hermione will be with Kingsley on a Thestral. Harry then remembers or thinks or something that she is uncomfortable on a broomstick. Shes also with Ron on a broom fleeing the Room of Requirement. However it might have been easier for the filmmakers to put them all on separate brooms or have three brooms but five characters, that way Harrys save of Draco could be suspenseful for non book readers.
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2010-03-19 10:56:48
How soon you guys & gals forget! In the book, "Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone," each one of the Trio seized a broomstick and kicked off into the air to catch the winged key, with Harry giving Ron and Hermione directions to help him force the target key towards the ceiling where he catches it. In the film, only Harry used a broomstick to catch the key.
So, yes, Hermione can ride a broomstick and did so... but it is mentioned at various points that she doesnt like or enjoy it.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2010-03-19 11:04:29
the descriptions of these scenes sound promising. i would love to see them, but a bigger part of me knows that i dont want the movies spoiled so soon. nevertheless, this is exciting news!
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2010-03-19 11:40:46
Look
I know this sounds awesome
But guys, never get tooooo excited. The movies might disappoint you guys since you say its going to be same as the book. Lets wait. I mean, I never compare. I love Half Blood Prince. As long Deathly Hallows is long and has the same feel, Im happy. But most fans compare both. Dont kill me. Im just trying to put some sense into people. I think the movies going to amazing, but you can never be sure about the closeness.

Mugglenet guys, get WB to release the video please :D
This is really really excited that when I first read it I thought I was having a dream or something, its unreal!
The the boy who lived, come to die and the Quidditch Pitch on fire and all the other scenes mentioned, OMG.
The sad this is that I bet most of the people there last night could probably careless about HPandtheDH..

interesting i dont care so much about Hermione riding a broom to escape the room of requirement, what bothers me (and i tend to not get worked up by changes and differences between the books and films) is Harry defiantly telling Voldemort that he stays alive "because I have something worth fighting for." not only is this line never in the book, just as it was never in OotP (although I admit i kinda like the consistency) it cheapens the theme and messages of the films. and simplifies them in a way that makes it feel cheesy, and the series deserves better than that
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2010-03-19 12:38:01
Broom-riding Hermione is simply a byproduct of the Harry Potter and the Movies That Love Female Empowerment error.
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2010-03-19 12:50:57
The timing on this doesnt suprise me. WB will probably release this footage in couple of weeks when the VFX on Ralph Fiennes etc has been finished. LOL @ Photobrad & Trucker2 as well for rightly pointing out Hermione has flew a broom solo before. Im quite looking forward to seeing it if it is released, personally. :)
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2010-03-19 12:52:46
tovarbaker, it doesnt say that thats ALL he says to Voldemort. He can say all he says in the book in addition to that, no problem....dont get angry just yet haha
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2010-03-19 12:56:34
Its just cruel to tell us about these scenes and not put them up
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2010-03-19 13:03:53
What actually bothers me...is the picture accompanying the post. Hermione holding Dobby as Harry digs the grave--anyone get me? Hermione just got tortured! She should not be standing there, looking perfectly healthy as far as I can tell.
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2010-03-19 13:30:48
"Because I have something worth fighting for"? No. The themes and morals of the book are NOT represented in that line. The books are so much more complex than that, and its too bad that the films have been watered down.
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2010-03-19 13:50:12
Weasleychick92, it shows how much she cares for House elves.
The full final confrontation with Voldemort is that he asks Harry, "Why do you still live?" to which he gets the response, "Because I have something to live for."
Seems way more epic.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2010-03-19 13:52:59
Broom Riding Hermione is a must for the movie, Havent any of you noticed how small the brooms are in the movie that they only seem to fit 1 person? How would they fit Ron, Hermione, and Blaise on one broom. Obviously they need to put her on her own broom...Honestly think before you comment on something so obvious.
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2010-03-19 14:31:10
Wow, Im just suprised that theyre actually showing all of this footage! I mean yeah Id like to see it, but Id even more like to see it as a finished movie in the theaters! Its cool to get this news though... I can just picture Voldemort in the woods, and its cool to hear about the 7 Potters scene!!!

Hermione rode a broom in PS (in the book) to help Harry catch the key after going through the trapdoor. I thought she also rode a broom again in DH in the Room of Requirement when escaping the fire, but I am not sure about that... So she can sort of ride a broom in the books.

I noyl watch official trailers. No scenes, leaks, or other clips. I also dont look at pictures after a while.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2010-03-19 15:42:39
GAAAA!!! I cant believe this! I practically fell out of my chair when I read this!! They are keeping in so much and Im ecstatic!!! I dont really mind the whole Hermione on a broom thing, I mean, they never said she couldnt ride a broom, they just said she wasnt very good and she hated it. But in DH, I wouldnt be surpirsed, because many people had to do things they hated and also, shes like, a freakin genius! I think if the situation called for riding a broom, shed be able to figure it out! Man, I want a trailer sooo badly, but I really dont want to be tempted with it on the other hand! I watched so many hbp trailers and clips, that I think I ruined the movie for me and I dont want it to happen with DH, seeing as that is my favorite book!

Posted by: - Posted on: 2010-03-19 15:50:42
Also, I really, really, really cant wait for the wedding and the pale dragon scene!! Although the picture to accompany this post is one weve seen before, I still wonder what Hermione is doing out there looking healthy as ever! She was practically killed just moments before! I mean, I know she loves house-elves, but come on, she almost got killed, tortured for how long???!! Also, I CAN NOT BELIEVE they are keeping the MOST CHEESY LINE from Order of the Phoenix!! "something worth fighting for!!" gosh, that was the most stupid cheesy pathetic line ever!! I was rolling around laughing it was so cheesy, I mean, its true, but he sounded like a little kid declaring he won a gold sticker or something! Well, they better make it sound better in DH! The events in the book could be represented with a more powerfull phrase than that, imo. I just cant wait to see this movie!! I agree, put up a count down, please!!! :)
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2010-03-19 16:03:38
Hermione has DEFINITELY flown a broom solo before!! All the first years take flying lessons, and in Philosophers Stone she flies to help Harry get the key, and once played two-a-side Quidditch in the Weasleys orchard during the summer with Harry, Ginny, and Ron (even though she was "dreadful"). "Because I have something worth fighting for" is one of the cheesiest lines I have ever heard. I hate when they add cheesy lines. I agree, Mugglenet, WE NEED A COUNTDOWN PLEASE!!!!!
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2010-03-19 16:32:18
Well at least Voldemort asking, "Why do you still live?" before makes it less cheesy. What else would Harry say? "Because love conquers evil"? That would sound cheesy also.
Oh btw he doesnt say, "Because I have something worth fighting for", he says, "Because I have some to live for.."
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2010-03-19 16:51:02
wow...reading all of these comments, it seems that nothing can never you satisfied you guys. you all should be psyched for all this information about the movie, and yet, you critisize everything about it. you should thankful that theyre making the movie in the first place!

Posted by: - Posted on: 2010-03-19 18:05:15
What is their obsession with lighting things on fire that arent supposed to be lit on fire? Still, sounds cool. I really hope these movies are better than the previous ones.
|

Odds are at least some part of Hogwarts was on fire during the battle. Its a war scene. Just imagine that visual. Itll be so intense.

It honestly seems like most of the people commenting here have a basic grasp of the English language, as for grammatical writing, well forget it.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2010-03-20 08:04:49
i dont get what you people are complaining about. and so what if theyre "just burning down everything." and i like the idea of the Quittitch pitch burning. just because it wasnt mentioned in the books doesnt mean it couldnt have happened. it would be pretty realistic as far as the whole situation in the book.
if we just kept it as just the book, it probably wouldnt seem so action packed since Harry isnt always thinking about what is exactly happening. obviously he has other things on his mind. and all that time in the Room of Requirement. stuff coulda been happening when they were in there, too.
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2010-03-20 08:08:43
I dont care if Hermione rides a broomstick.
Changing small details like that doesnt bother me as long as they stick to the book as much as possible ( meaning not cutting the important and slightly bigger things) They cant please everyone and it might have been more convenient to do it this way.
Unfortunately Im a sucker for spoilers and Im probably going to see all of the trailers and sneak peaks even though Ive decided not to :/
But DH was my favourite book so Im expecting a lot.

OMG! Ive been getting sooo bored with the Wizarding World of Harry Potter and Harry Potter Lego video game news posts, finally they have real exciting news. This is what Ive been waiting for. This is mega exciting and I cannot wait to see them riding on that dragon out of Gringotts. But I was a little disapointed that Emma and Rupert werent gonna be on the broom stick together for that scene. When I first read this I thought they were gonna make Ron be left behind or something, but now I understand it would be kinda hard to have three people ride on one broom stick. But seriously, I wanna see a trailer....sooo badly right now. November cant come soone enough! :)

Posted by: - Posted on: 2010-03-20 09:24:46
I want to start by first saying I like the Harry Potter movies, but have consistently been disappointed with them. I also want to make it clear that I understand when it comes to turning books, comics, and tv shows into movies, you simply cant do everything and if you manage to capture the feel of the story and throw enough tidbits in for fans you have succeeded. That being said I have had 2 problems with the harry potter film series. First is (and it has the most to do with writing than other factors) that the film captures the feel of the individual books, but not the series. Some breif examples are as follows: PoA we never learn the significance of Harrys patronus or who wrote the marauders map- these are important to Harry. We also miss out on Dumbledore telling Harry about Peter owing Harry his life and we see what happens there, as well mentioning Trelawny has made 2 real predictions. In Gof we miss out on Harrys developing connection to Sirius and who can forget Dumbledores look of triumph as it is revealed Voldemmort used Harrys blood. I could go on and on, just look at HBP we no nothing of the other horcruxes and Dobby has not yet returned. It bugs me that people who have never read the books will miss out on these clues and character moments. The second is in next post...

Posted by: - Posted on: 2010-03-20 09:35:43
I believe as well this are great news!! I cant promise but i will try to see the less clips as possible and just the official trailers so that i see the most in the actual film!!! Im perfectly fine with hermione and the broomstick, and the 7 potters and gringotts also sound epic. Probably (if leaked) i wont watch this clip. Hogwarts on fire as well as the quidditch pitch will make an amazing fight and really quidditch isnt any important in the 7 so if it gets on fire it doesnt matter and it would be so breathtaking. What i love most of this news is the harry and ron fight in the thent, i really couldnt believe he left!! i dunno for everyone else but it was so great and unexpected for me! All this news sound great( the wedding, voldemort in the woods, the trio running away from the snatchers)............. And i may be the only one, but i dont find the "something worth fighting for" that cheesy, and it will be made much more epic in DH that in OOTP (which i found it was a nice ending. not the best but a good one). I really cant wait for the two films and i know yates will nail it... once again!! Its gonna be great

Posted by: - Posted on: 2010-03-20 09:42:41
The 2nd problem has to do with how one of my favorite characters has been portrayed. That character is Hermione. We have probably all known or are a person like her. The person who wrecks every grading curve, knows every answer, teachers pet, and of course not the most physical of people. Watching her character grow and change has been a great asset to the story and endeared her to me. The movies make her seem virtually flawless and in many cases it seems they dont even need Harry. In PoA Her character learns her limits is even beat by Harry in a practical exam. In the movie we are treated to her not showing the signs of reaching her limits other than walking out and punching Malfoy, we see her rescue buckbeak, throw rocks in windows, throw harry down tunnels, howls to lure away Lupin, and figure out that they went back in time to save buckbeak and Sirius. Hermione is not athletic and Harry figures out why they went back three hours and tells them to move to avoid Lupin. By comparison we are left to think Harry is an idiot. I love her character and her massive book smarts, but we never see her grow and become the character they have shown since the third film, we also miss out on her emotions such as crying when belittled by snape or when Harry and Ron get back together; we miss out her covering her eyes in fear during the first task, panicking in the devils snare, hating to fly, and more... It is sad that film audiences will miss out on these flaws and her growth, because it truly makes her character great. Although it is too late now I still see them making the same mistakes with the new film. I will watch it for what is, but lament for what it could have been.

The good thing MRDOPEY is that you know that, as many other fans know as well. But for many of the people who see her in the films she is a lovable character and much more important (also for me, but its not the most important in any case) she is beautiful................ .......... DARKINRONPOTTER: i also agree with you. I have loved all films, even OOTP which was the less attached to the book, but turned to be a great film
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2010-03-20 10:10:00
alvispotter, I agree, but I think the way they portray her takes away from her as well as Harry. He is alot smarter and tougher than the films make him out to be, not to mention the reluctant leader. Giving her character flaws doesnt make her less lovable or less attractive... in fact it makes her more so, because she becomes more relatable.
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2010-03-20 11:22:15
MRDOPEY i get what you are saying. Of course they are better characters in the books but i have loved their portrayal in the films as well, but they cant make them the same way because first of all they need as much character development as in the book (which is impossible because they cant have the same ammount of conversation in the films) and as great as i consider the younger HP cast it would have to take a breathtaking actor to translate the feeling of each character, as well as th writing. There are many things that take part on this issue
|

mrdopey, youre right that in the movie hermione seems perfect. Yet she isnt always. I agree that in the book shes quite different, but not that much. Dont get me wrong, as i love all the books even more than the movies, but i think emmas portrayal is really good. She is smart, yet jealous and sometimes overreacts. She laughs, yet cries too. Okay, shes preetier in the movie than she should be, but who cares. I love her in the two ways, book and moviewise, because in the end, shes not THAT different.

About the footage, i admit i only wanna watch the official trailers before the movie, cuz i dont want it spoiled. But it looks awesome!!! About hermione flying on her own broom, well its obvious in the books that she can fly, even though se doesnt like it. But i dont mind about this change; think it can be great. The dragon, the tent, the battle, the forest, the wedding.... cant wait, REALLY. About the so-called "cheesy line", well how about you wait till the movie and find out. For example, some people say that the final line in HBP: "Id never realised how beautiful this place was" was cheesy, but for me its epic, makes me cry and i think its been the best ending of them all, let alone the best movie. The ending of OOTP with that line wasnt my favourite, but i wasnt bad at all. And i KNOW yates will nail it, so i have no doubt that the line will be put into good use. Its gonna be awesome, remember that.

THIS SOUNDS AWESOME!!!! Im so jealous!! I want to see this! I hope someone got video of it! The very mention the Seven Potters sequence gave me chills!!! I cant believe theyve filmed all of this stuff!!! I want to see it now!! Hermione flies a broom in the books, so its not too out of the ordinary. The trio, Draco, and Goyle escape on brooms, so they probably just decided to have them all on the same one.

@mrdopey--1. Anyone with any half way decent reasoning skills can deduce which character was which maurader; 2. Professor Trelawney having made the prediction about Harry and Voldemort will most likely be in The Princes Tale scene; 3. Harry can simply state to Ron and Hermione that not long before Dumbledore died he saw some memories in the pensieve and tell them what the other horcruxes are when theyre at the Burrow at the beginning of DH I.

plum_cake 13 I am not going to argue with you, but simply point out that many of my friends who have graduated from college with degrees in international business, Law, and film who have not read the book had know idea who wrote the map. To say that anyone with half a brain could figure it out is condescending and still doesnt address the form of Harrys patronus. It is barely even implied other than Lupin knowing it was a map. As for earlier posts about my comments on Hermione, the movies portray her the way she ends up in DH through out the film series, I only wanted to comment that we miss out on her growth. It would have been easy to show. In PoA makeup could have made her look continually more tired and show her with way to many books would got across the taking on more than she can handle idea. In GoF she could have been terrified hands over her eyes at first task, rather than dictating to harry to use his wand. They could have easily kept her bossiness more to school work than anything else as well as making less athletic. These small things would have greatly shown the change in character without everything else. As I said I enjoy the films for what the are, but lament for what they could be.

My father saw the clip!
He was in Las Vegas all of last week, and attended ShoWest. He went as a representative of BAM Rose Cinemas.
Im not sure if this is important or not, but I thought Id let the people at Mugglenet know anyway. :)

mrdopey, my friends which never read the books could tell who Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs were. Mostly because they say Padfoot and Wormtail through out the films and the way Wormtail said, Sirius, Remus, my old friends!
They just guessed they Prongs was Harry father because they knew the four of them were friends.
Anyways they could of done a better job explaining it.

Moony...moon...full moon...werewolf...Remus Lupin. Wormtail...a tail that looks like a worm...a rat has a tail that looks like a worm...Peter Pettigrew. Padfoot...an animal that has a padded foot...a dog has a padded foot...Sirius Black. Then since Remus states that they were all friends together at school, one could come to the logical conclusion that Harrys dad was Prongs (deer antlers=prongs).

First to all you guys out there they do not say Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs through out the movie. In fact they are only referred to by Fred and George and when the map insults Snape. In the movie the characters are continually reffered by there their names not nicknames. And yes I get the reason for the names even lupin itself refers to to the term lupine which when used as a adj. means characteristic of or resembling a wolf. My friends who had never opened the books at all heard Peter referred to as wormtail in GoF and then began to piece it together. As for prongs we only really see Harrys patronus as a stag for a brief moment and it is never mentioned at all that his dad turned into a stag. I appreciate your comments, but you all still miss the point. It is not just about a particular incident its the whole thing. The films capture the feeling of the individual book wonderfully, but they miss the mark on capturing the feeling of the overall series by leaving out some of the little things and replacing them with "little old lady at 12 oclock", dragons flying around the school, Hermiones apparent flawlessness, missing character (Dobby and Bill), and other unnecessary added scenes.

"Broom-riding Hermione is simply a byproduct of the Harry Potter and the Movies That Love Female Empowerment error."
Actually, Hermione rode a broomstick in the first book. Her, Ron and Harry all rode brooms trying to catch the flying key to open the door to the Chess Room. She may not like flying but she can do it.
And being sexist is really old, please cease and dissipate.
