Way Ahead for Deathly Hallows Movie(s) v.5

I'm considering seeing it in Imax. Has anyone seen an HP movie in Imax before?

Now IMAX is different. ;) While 3D is too distracting for me I find IMAX to be an interesting and often exciting way of shooting the movie for how much room you get in the shot. Big battle scenes benefit a lot from IMAX becuz you get to throw your eyes around and find some new detail with each viewing. I imagine the scene with the dragon breaking out of the Gringotts would be especially thrilling to see in IMAX format.

36. What did you think of the MTV Movie awards sneak peak? What is your favorite scene/shot/sequence we glimpsed from the MTV preview?

It was OK, but scenes from part 1 that they chose for the preview are not nearly exciting enough. I've had enough of trio running through the forest and Hermione raising her hands.

37. What did you think of the recently released official trailer? What is your favorite scene/shot/sequence we glimpsed in the trailer?

I was spoiled again and again yet it still blew me away. I know the word epic is overused by this point but I can't think of anything else. Even my friends who are not huge HP fans are getting excited about it all over Facebook. :)

My favorite scenes: every part with Voldemort. I really missed him in HBP.

- Voldemort standing on DD's grave shooting spells triumphantly into the sky. Really awesome shot. I hope the music will be epic enough to match the visual. Also, I love how they utilize the little lake island that has been there since COS film and put the white tomb in the middle of it. Really beautiful.

-Voldemort casting a super epic massive awesome spell at Hogwarts' protection.

-The ROR scene. FINALLY it looks as grand as described in the book.

-The brief shot of Snape being attacked, maybe by Nagini or other teachers. That man has great poses even when he's about to die.

38. Do you think the new trailer showed too much of key scenes from the film?

Not really. The forest scene is a good choice to excite people, and if they are extending the final duel (which we know they are), then we have only seen just a fragment of it.


39. What are your feelings, thoughts, opinions on the changing of the final duel? Do you mind that they expanded it?

I'm relieved that they've decided to do so. However, I hope they keep it true to the logic of the story (Harry not being too powerful, ending the duel the same way as in the book, etc.)

40. How do you feel abodut waiting for these films now? Does it really feel like the end is coming now and not just in theory? Did you cry during the trailer?

I did tear up a bit :p And yes the end is near. I'm working on finding new things to obsess with right now.

41. What do you think about the trailer calling HP the motion picture event of a generation? Truth or hyperbole?

No other film franchise in history can create 8 films in a row, all of which are (most likely) critically well-received and financially successful, not to mention being able to maintain almost all of the cast from the start to finish. So yes I think it is true.

42. What do you think about the HP lego preview, the new T-shirt designs (Harry Potter Undesirable No.1 and the DH symbol), the new HP production book and the other DH merchandise?

The lego one is disappointing. I LOVE movie production books and WB/Heyman should have made them for HP ever since the first movie was made. The guys working hard on set design, costume design, and concept arts deserve much more credit than they currently are.

36. What did you think of the MTV Movie awards sneak peak? What is your favorite scene/shot/sequence we glimpsed from the MTV preview?

I absolutely loved the sneak peak we received via this MTV awards show. I was rather intrigued and excited about Harry and Ron's confrontation. But what really excited me about this sneak peak was the Harry/Ginny kiss scene. Here in the DH thread, it certainly sparked some hopeful speculation of correcting the HBP Harry/Ginny failure throughout DH. I liked that :p

37. What did you think of the recently released official trailer? What is your favorite scene/shot/sequence we glimpsed in the trailer?

When I first watched the trailer, I couldn't really decipher what I liked and what I didn't like. I couldn't really even pay attention for hints about certain scenes that I had been pondering in my mind. No, during the trailer's release I was simply overcome with a feeling of emptiness. I think it really hit me that this is it for all of us fans. We never get the chance to do all of this waiting and crazy discussions/speculation about the upcoming film. That really took the wind out of my sails, so to speak. But now, my vigor has been restored, and having viewed the trailer several more times, I would have to say my favorite sequence of the trailer is that of Hogwarts on fire and being blown to smithereens. I can't wait to see what they do with the entire battle itself. I am expecting a battle of such epic proportions, and as of late, am not expecting at all to be let down :cool:

38. Do you think the new trailer showed too much of key scenes from the film?

I really thought that the scenes we saw from "The Forest Again" were a bit too lengthy. I mean, really? They thought it wise to show Voldemort actually casting the Avada Kedavra at Harry? Completely unnecessary, IMO. I really wish they would have cut the sequence right after the line: "The boy who lived, come to die"

39. What are your feelings, thoughts, opinions on the changing of the final duel? Do you mind that they expanded it?

See, this is what has got me most in knots about the trailer. I don't want the shot we got of Harry and Voldemort's wands connecting to be the final exchange. For me, the whole Final Confrontation will be ruined if Harry does not kill Voldemort in the Great Hall in front of everyone who fought the Battle of Hogwarts. I think that most imperative to really capture the magnitude of what Voldemort's death means to the entire wizarding world. If, in this case, they have expanded the battle, I've already shared my take on how it should be done, with the shot of Voldemort holding Harry's face somewhere high up in the castle. I see the extension coming from using the conversation between Harry and Voldemort from the book and having Harry deliver his points amidst fighting Voldemort around the castle. Eventually they end up in the courtyard, which is the shot we have seen, then they will be pushed back into the great hall where finally Harry delivers the last blow.

40. How do you feel about waiting for these films now? Does it really feel like the end is coming now and not just in theory? Did you cry during the trailer?

Waiting is hard, anticipation comes like a thundering freight train, but doesn't stay long in the absence of new excitement. But for me, that's the fun in it. I love waiting for these films and all of the discussions it spawns here in CoS. The trailer really did make it seem like the end is getting so much nearer. I did not cry during the trailer, but I felt like I really wanted to.

41. What do you think about the trailer calling HP the motion picture event of a generation? Truth or hyperbole?
I would say this has to be truth. 10 years. Every record smashed. Enough said.

42. What do you think about the HP lego preview, the new T-shirt designs (Harry Potter Undesirable No.1 and the DH symbol), the new HP production book and the other DH merchandise?

I am so so excited for the HP production book, but I don't expect that to release until quite some time down the road, unfortunately. The shirts are pretty neat. I think someone should design and market a shirt with just the DH symbol on the front and "Do You Believe?" on the back. I would wear that no question. The lego preview was clever on WB's part, but was not too stimulating for anyone who has soaked up every bit of information out there presently, such as ourselves :lol:

Hmm, interesting article- http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/abraham/detail??blogid=95&entry_id=67019

So what does this mean?

It means that if Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows can stir up this much buzz with the release of a trailer, and months before its November 19th release, it will set box office records when it's released. I will go so far as to say it will break Twilight Eclipse' opening day mark of $68 million.

Stay tuned.

Hope so :)

Hmm, interesting article- http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/abraham/detail??blogid=95&entry_id=67019



Hope so :)

Oh there's no doubt about that. I think it will strongly pass Eclipse's opening day. And I'm not just saying that to diss Eclipse. Between now and November, everyone will have seen the new trailer, and there will be more hype as the months go on. This is one of the most highly anticipated (if not the most) movies of the year.

Hmm, interesting article- http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/abraham/detail??blogid=95&entry_id=67019

Hmm...never heard of that feature on Google.

That's pretty exciting news considering we only have one trailer. And it is strictly online and in theatres. Wait until advertisements for DH1 hit television in October. That's going to send those numbers through the roof.

In regards to the comparison to Twilight, how much effect do you think Harry Potter having video games and the like has on these results. Twilight only has the books and three films. Does size really matter here? Or is it just the simple fact that Harry Potter continues to rule the decade with its legacy?

Oh, and then there's this too...going back to a recent discussion :p

http://moviesblog.mtv.com/2010/06/29/deathly-hallows-trailer-declares-it-the-motion-picture-event-of-a-generation-do-you-agree/

http://moviesblog.mtv.com/2010/07/01/harry-potter-and-the-deathly-hallows-really-is-the-motion-picture-event-of-a-generation/

Okay guys we have a Twilight: Eclipse movie thread in the Cinema forum (and an Avatar one too). Also be reminded that making fun of movies can be hurtful to people and making fun of people who like them can be considered insulting. Let's keep this one focused on DH. Thanks

Melisssnellis tweeter this in regards to the "why do you live" line in the trailer:
DH trailer: "Why do you live" - is post Ch. 34, post Kings' Cross. Harry's wrapped in DE clothing.
I don't remember this and haven't had a chance to look at my book. Anyone remember this?

I'm looking for it, and can't find it anywhere.

But now that I read her tweet again, I think she doesn't mean it is in the book, but that it is past the King's Cross scene. We already knew that.

She also tweeted that they wrap Harry in death eater clothing in the forest. Does that happen in the book?

Nope. After Voldemort thinks he is dead, Narcissa checks on him, then Hagrid picks him up and they go through the forest back toward Hogwarts.

I think it can only mean that this scene is part of the extended final duel. If it is, then we can be sure that the duel will take place in more than just the courtyard.

The courtyard confrontation we saw in the trailer is, I believe, the beginning part of the duel (since we knew LV's army will march through that bridge, and the 2 armies confrontation will take place in that courtyard).From then, Harry may run into the building behind him to avoid LV's spell and maybe run upstairs (which is why they seem to be on a high floor when this scene takes place). We can also see that the light in this "Why do you live?" scene is much brighter than the courtyard scene (suggesting that the sun is about to rise?)

BTW can anyone post a link of this twitter page? Thanks!!

I'm considering seeing it in Imax. Has anyone seen an HP movie in Imax before?


i saw HBP in OMNIMAX. I'm not sure if you know what that is...but its HUGEEEE. Its like one step up from IMAX. It was pretty awesome. I think I'll definitely see DH in omnimax [or imax, whichever] after I see it in regular.

Melisssnellis tweeter this in regards to the "why do you live" line in the trailer:

I don't remember this and haven't had a chance to look at my book. Anyone remember this?

Huh, well that's interesting. I must say I think that was the most awesome part of the trailer...I don't even care that it wasn't in the book. The delivery on both sides there was perfect and the imagery is really creepy. I am anxious to see how this scene works in context. :drool:

I had to check this out, what with the rumours of Snape's death being changed to the Boathouse.

In PS/SS, the Boathouse has a different shape to the one we see in the DH trailer. See -

http://harrypotter.warnerbros.com/harrypotterandthedeathlyhallows/ (DH Boathouse - You can just about see it a bit before the halfway mark.)

http://harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/File:Boathouse_PS.jpg (PS/SS Boathouse)

And then there's this shot of Snape: http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100629120217/harrypotter/images/archive/b/bb/20100701091015%21Dhsnape.jpg

This has been speculated that it's his death scene. I looked very closely at the DH Boathouse and can almost see a checked pattern on the side of the building. This links in with the above picture which shows a similar pattern on the window.

So, Snape's death may take place in the Boathouse. Or, I may be looking too far into this.

I don't think you're looking too far into it. It could be the boat house. I don't know where it is in the DH trailer though. Can you give us an approximate time stamp? If it is the boat house it would make some sort of sense as to why the windows look grimy, and why the place looks neglected. I know some might say that it's still the wrong time of day, but it also may not be the finalized look of the shot. They shoot day for night sometimes...

Obviously, in the final confrontation between Harry and Voldemort the spells are not connecting, but colliding and thus people assume it's not Priori Incantatem...How come it looks exactly the same then? This "spell colliding" effect might be called something else than Priori Incantatem in Yates' imagination, but I simply don't care because it looks too repetitive. It's awkward that they can't come up with something new and refreshing for the ultimate duel.

The video link doesn't say the timing, but you can see the boathouse in the shot of Hogwarts' protection decreasing. It's right after the title card that says ''Finale of the wordwide phenomenon''. A bit before the halfway mark.

OK, I see what you mean now. It could be the boat house in that shot of Hogwarts and it does look like the windows have that pattern. And it would make sense that the windows would be the same or similar. Most of the windows at Hogwarts seem to have the same pattern. I still wish we knew the source of the boat house info. I know it was one of the HP news sites but if I remember right they didn't list their source.

So the battle.

Then we have the battle going on in the dark. I think someone mentioned that it looks like snatchers running down the hill and not the good guys. I think that might be right. Maybe they have snatchers attack first and then the death eaters only attack with Voldemort after Harry's death. Just a guess.

Harry sees into Voldemort's mind and he goes to Snape. Snape dies. Harry watches the memories and then goes to the forest.

Harry dies. They carrying his body back to the school. I don't see Hagrid in these shots, so i wonder if it is possible that they just float Harry's body back or if that is what the black robe that looks to have him tied up is all about. I don't know.

The battle then begins again. This time the death eaters join in.

Then the bizzare shot where Voldemort has ahold of Harry's face.

http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk18/decarus427/DH/final%20confrontation/Image188.jpg

Harry must get out of this. The fighting must still be going on. We know Bellatrix is killed in the great hall.

Then Harry and Voldemort go at it in the courtyard.

I am not sure about this shot. It could be after Voldemort died or before.

I hope hagrid carries Harry. I didn't see him in the picture though either

I hope hagrid carries Harry. I didn't see him in the picture though either

Couldn't he just be in front of the camera, though? Or to Voldemort's left?

yea that could be he,s just not in that particular shot

Hagrid might just be out of the shot, If you remember in the book harry didn't see him until Hagrid speaks. He was tied to a tree.

First poster!!

I Love That Poster! Omg!

I LOVED IT!!!!!!!

Think the tower destructed seems a bit fake, but anyway I love it.

I love it! Love the color of the sky! The left side looks like the sun is
Coming out like on the US cover. I love the reflection in the water.
I LOVED IT!!!!!!!

Yeah the tower looks a little weird lol

Craziness. It's really cool. :)

:wow:

Wow, that looks pretty fantastic...although perhaps a little too dark (the color scheme I mean) and too CGI'd :whistle:

Yeah, a structural engineer would say if the support below were blown away like that the cone shape would probably topple :lol: Oh well :shrug:

Really? I think it looks more like a painting. Hard to tell without a higher quality one, I guess.

I dunno, I suppose some of it look like painting...I'll have to look at it closer it in the store. I'm tempted to buy it. But you know, is anyone irritated that once again they're just doing basically Part 2 marketing? I mean it didn't bother me so much with the trailer, but I was hoping the teaser poster would just be for Part 1...like The Silver Doe or something, I love that fan poster that was done of that :)

Oh wow...I just...it's just.....I....I cant even talk! I think its perfect. I seriously think they are doing such a good job so far on this movie. November is much too far away!! That poster is honestly SO amazing looking!

Out of town for three days and I come back to a new version with 22 pages :lol:

That poster is amazing.

that poster is AMAZING. you guys, it also totally mirrors one of the first posters we got for the first film... the one of hogwarts and the boats moving across the lake.

everything is coming full circle. does anyone want to post the SS poster and the DH poster side by side?

Do you remember? :(

I absolutely love the poster!!! ALL you [staff edit] its awesome and Epic and there,s nothing FAKE about it. its official from WB

awww the first poster: The Magic Begins
the last poster: It All Ends Here

makes me wanna cry :[

I absolutely love the poster!!! ALL you NITPICKERS be dammed its awesome and Epic and there,s nothing FAKE about it. its official from WB

Oh I know, it's def official...we just meant the blown up tower looks a bit unreleastic is all. I wish the castle was a big larger like the SS one

But make no mistake, that's cool how we've come full circle and have like mirror images of Hogwarts

Love how the first and last teaser poster come full circle!

The poster is amazing! I love it. But I'm sort of not liking how they're promoting DH2 all the time. This poster would've been great DH2. They should've done something that was more for DH1, like the fan-made poster of the Silver Doe like someone above said. I love that poster!
And I love how it mirrors the poster for Philospher's Stone. Even the tagline kid of miiros each other.

PS: "The Magic Begins"
DH: "It All Ends Here"

I'm okay with the part 1/part 2 stuff. In my opinion, we should look at this as just ONE long movie. Because if it was one movie, nobody would have anything to say about them showing all this stuff from the end. I understand there is a 6 month gap between the two, but still, it is essentially one movie.

But it is still two movies.

I mean after the first film comes out, are they still going to show that footage in the 2nd films trailers? :lol:

This poster is truly astonishing, it's ominous and creepy yet beautiful and even somewhat nostalgic (the teaser poster for PS). It's just like a realistic oil painting capturing all te action from a distance.

About the destroyed Central Tower: you can see huge pieces of wreckage coming down, so it'll definetely come down eventually. That could be happening in the trailer (when Harry Ron and Hermione look up in awe), kinda spectacular and high in the sky too.

I do think they're hammering this epic Part II thing too much, they shouldn't be revealing this much of the climax already. The poster's PERFECT and EPIC though, exacty what I was hoping for DH!

They just might! They'd probably want to remind people of what happened in the first film, you know?

I dunno...it doesnt bug me at all that they are doing part 2 marketing for the most part. It kinda makes sense anyway...it is the most action packed of the two. They probably want people to get pumped for it and go see Part 1 THINKING it will have all that cool stuff.

ANDDD for all we know, they will release a JUST part 1 poster. After all, this poster does mention both parts.

So false advertisement. :err:

Well I dont know ahah. I'm not one to bash the first half of the book, because I do love it...but I know they want to suck in as many people as possible to it. I can see them hyping up the second part so people will want to go see the first part so they can eventually go see the second part and know whats going on. You know?

I love that too, how it mirrors the beginning! This is fantastic! I just love it!

So false advertisement. :err:

It's not like that would be much of a surprise...false advertising occurs all the time. I can think of a most recent example with another film even, IM2...they released an all AD/DC soundtrack leading people to believe IM2 would be filled with AC/DC awesome...but in reality there was only 2 songs out of the 15 on the soundtrack actually used in the movie :relax: But nah, I expect they'll only give us part 2 trailers after...

BTW, you still seem confused- DH is ONE movie (albeit presented in 2 parts) and it will be the "Motion Picture Event of a Generation" ;)

I'll agree when the Academy confirms this and/or they don't make me buy two different Blu-rays.

Which they will not.

Good poster. I agree though i am not sure if that tower would make it. I wonder what sort of spells they are sending that are causing this fire.

When trying to figure out where that Snape clip in the trailer takes place I noticed a lantern. This supports the guess that the scene's in the boathouse. When the boats go across the lake at the beginning of each year lanterns are held to guide the way.

It is so random though. The boathouse. I wish that it was a set they had used previously. I think that the films could have been better if the books had been finished, but i don't know if you get one without the other. The films were made because the books are popular now. The books are popular because of the films.

Can you see grass outside the window?

I'm good with the marketing for both parts. What they try to do is to make it clear for the general audiences that there are going to be 2 parts, that it is ONE film divided into TWO parts, so they understand that they will have to see both of them XD

But I guess since know, we'll see just Part I footage; you know, we'll have a teaser trailer for Part I and a teaser poster for Part I, etc :D

Filch has a lantern in pretty much every film though right?

I think that the films could have been better if the books had been finished, but i don't know if you get one without the other. The films were made because the books are popular now. The books are popular because of the films.

Can you see grass outside the window?

It could be grass. It could be murky water. We just don't know.

I'm good with the marketing for both parts. What they try to do is to make it clear for the general audiences that there are going to be 2 parts, that it is ONE film divided into TWO parts, so they understand that they will have to see both of them XD

Right, it makes sense what they're doing...but once that's taken care of (informed the general public it's one film in 2 parts) hopefully they'll move into part specific marketing. I don't mind seeing both but I don't want ALL the trailers between now and November showing both...

I think there's water!!!

If you see at the left bottom it seems like there's some firm land, but then it dissapears in what must be water ...

**** - epic poster!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW

Love the poster! :love:

When trying to figure out where that Snape clip in the trailer takes place I noticed a lantern. This supports the guess that the scene's in the boathouse. When the boats go across the lake at the beginning of each year lanterns are held to guide the way.

I've been thinking about this scenario, which I like because it mirrors Dumbledore in the watery cave. The image that came to my mind was Snape's dead body being brought across the water in one of the boats, sort of like Boromir in LotR! Plus Slytherin is connected to the lake and water, and I would personally be happy not to see Snape die in the Shrieking Shack which seems like such a depressing place to die considering his youth.

why would voldermort be in the boathouse? i honestly think that snap,s death will take place in a place we have already seen

A new short trailer was released (very much like the MTV clip with more Part 1 scenes added in) - look at the scene of Harry/Hermione in the graveyard - the cinematography looks much bleaker. I'm disappointed.

Wow that teaser poster is amazing, It's been a very long time since we had a good one in my opinion ever since either Chamber of Secrets or Prisoner of Azkaban. I still cant get over how good this poster looks. I like the artistic posters a lot more than the photo-shopped cutout looking ones like the Half blood prince poster with Ron,Harry,Hermione and the city in the background.

Well done WB this time!

Nice Poster!!!

As for the boathouse theory, im wondering why its not the Shrieking Shack. Theres already a set for the Shack, so why make another? I dunno. Seems strange.

I'm sure they have their reasons. Also keep in mind that the Shrieking Shack set may have been taken down. They may have assumed they wouldn't need it anymore.

The shrieking shack was sort of a crazy set in the film. The entire set was like rocking back and forth wasn't it? Also i am not sure where they would hide in that set. In the book the shrieking shack was just one room and the secret entrance was hidden. In the film the entrance was just in the basement or something.

About the poster...
I love it! It's depressing yet beautiful! the colors are great and much better than the usual blues with Harry's face. I like how it looks like the SS one too. I really don't have a single complaint about it and I hope eventually they make this available to buy. Gorgeous!

Do you have a link? Are you talking about the LEGO footage?

That new poster is perfect!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well done Warner Bros.

Between the trailer an the poster I really wanna read DH again. I think um gonna start it

It is pefect. It is the most perfect HP poster we have had so far, imo.

Oh and by the way...the Voldemort pic in your siggy is so funny. His face is pretty disturbing haha. Love all the new DH siggies lately.

Great teaser poster! Everything coming full circle from film one to now was a great idea for a teaser poster, and the tagline fits the two part finale quite well.

Here (http://www.mugglenet.com/viewer/?image_location=/movie7/hp17postercompare.jpg) is a side by side comparison of the SS and DH teaser posters, courtesy of MuggleNet. Seeing the castle in all its glory and then in ruin is such a stark contrast, and I can't wait to see everything looks in the film.

Also, since this is a joint DH 1 & 2 teaser poster, should we expect separate ones for each part? If so, I wonder if they'll have two more taglines, or at least a new one for Part 1 since this one wouldn't really fit it.

I like this. Nice thoughts!
I'm starting to like the idea of the boathouse instead of the Shrieking Shack or the Astronomy tower.

I don't know how to put the picture drop-down:

Between the trailer an the poster I really wanna read DH again. I think um gonna start it

I just finished a reread a couple days ago and already want to read it again.

I wonder why they chose to write 'HP7' instead of 'harry potter and the deathly hallows'

So we could see more of the actual poster. In addition, many people will be seeing the trailer with the full title when they actually walk into the theater to see their movie. A teaser poster is just to get people interested, not to reel them in.

I wonder why they chose to write 'HP7' instead of 'harry potter and the deathly hallows'

They chose to write HP6 on one of the first Half-Blood Prince posters, so I didn't put it past them.

I think this poster is AWESOME! It's really cool to see it side-by-side with the Philosopher's Stone poster :)

Ah, easy enough answer haha. I think the HP7 looks really cool, honestly.

I'm looking up old HP posters and theres really a lot for each. I hope we get this many for deathly hallows.

Oh wow! That Poster is epic beyond words! I had a good feeling when we heard the tagline that we would see something like that with Hogwarts in the background.

I also love the way they mirrored SS/PS. Just amazing! :clap:

I love this comparison! I cant believe its coming to an end.

Poster looks great. I like the dark scheme to it. November can't come any sooner.

I don't mind them doing the HP7 thing. I think it looks pretty cool as well. They did that with HBP so I don't really care that they did it with DH. Plus I bet they will put the entire title when the Part 1 poster comes out. I really wish we had more posters already! This one is just so beautiful. I can't stop looking at it! It seems like so much DH stuff has been released lately. Feels like HBP all over again except this time I'm 1000x more excited!!

I hope we get as many DH posters as we got HBP posters.

Me too and I hope every DH poster is amazing just like this one. I siriusly don't think I've seen a better movie poster.

I like the HP7 titling and one of the reasons is it's almost as if they're saying "We don't even need to say the full title. People know what it is."

Me neither. It's giving me goosebumps.

As for the Snape scene in the trailer...it does not look like his death scene to me. It really looks like the part where he is fleeing the school. With the look on his face and the way he is posed, it makes the most sense to me.

Yeah I really don't think that was Snape's death scene either.

"We don't even need to say the full title. People know what it is."
So true.

Those are both true, Heather, but when he flees the school doesn't he just jump clean out the window? He's not retreating frightened from anything or anyone. He just goes for it and flies. In the trailer he's laying back against a surface.

Well yes, but the movie could differ from the book in that part. He could run, McGonogall could follow him and he could cower against the wall while McGonogall says some empowering words to him and then he can jump out the window.

It just seems more likely than the death scene, because I pictured that more calm and less panicked. I realize in the book he was pleaing nervously to Voldemort, but in this shot he seems TOO panicked for it to be that scene.

The only things that would make Snape fall back like that are Voldemort or Nagini. I don't think he'd be that intimidated by McGonagall.

The movies don't make him nearly as menacing as he is in the books. I've heard that HP moviegoers were saying things like, "I thought Snape was good!" after HBP. In movie canon a good talking-to from McGonagall as Harry stands there might be too much for him. Seeing Lily's eyes look at him like that...

That is very true. Snape never came off as mean as he is in the books. I too have heard people say "I thought Snape was good". The books made it harder to say whether or not he was good because there was actually evidence that he could be bad. Mcgonagall in the movies may very well make Snape cower. And yes it may be just too much to see Lily looking at him through Harry. I wonder...guess we'll just have to wait until July to see...

I dunno...the fact that he ran away so fast in the books just proves, in my opinion, that he was intimidated and scared.

I dont mean McGonogall would give him a speech but I can see her saying a few words right before he jumps. Nothing too long.

In the books he's a bully and in my opinion a very unlikable character. The films have made him out to be very different from that.

I agree. There is an obvious difference between book and movie Snape. I was rereading PoA for the first time in a while and because of the movies I had forgotten just how horrible Snape can act. Especially toward Harry and Hermione. It's just too hard to tell from that little snippet in the trailer what part it is.

While it is hard to tell, it really intrigued me when I saw it. I'm curious to see what it actually is.

Me too. Maybe it's neither scenes. Who really knows...

I noticed it was Snape but I never gave it much thought until I was looking at the picture by picture thing that Mugglenet put up. I also noticed the picture in someone's siggy.

If you skip the trailer you can see a wider version of the poster.

I don't think that Snape would be cringing back against the wall like that. He looks like something is attacking him up close. It is true though that we can't know for certain, but i think it is from his death also.

ooo, and one with better coloring too. Thanks for pointing that out :tu:

If only I could figure out how to set this as my desktop background without stretching it. I usually just use the default but it would be nice to use this poster.

The aggressive marketing campaign is just beginning. It's barely started and I'm already this excited. I hope I make it through!

Yeah, now THIS really does look like an oil painting :cool:

EDIT: The fire near the two towers at the right side of Hogwarts is also a lot further out in the website background, too - probably just to get the image wider.

oh my god...it's...so horrible to see Hogwarts like that.. :( I can almost cry....that's devastating....look at the gryffindor tower!! :sad: Brilliant observation to the person who linked this poster to the teaser poster of PS/SS! This poster is a masterpiece. It's great..it's just kinda heartbreaking..I mean look at it! Look at Hogwarts!! :upset:

Wow, great observation!

They probably put more work into the public poster that will be in many movie theaters across the world. This is just on the website. Though I have to say the colors on the website poster is much better than the poster one.

The website is SUCH better quality. The colors and everything! But yeah, I'm sure the poster is getting much more detail. Dang, I hope we get a poster a week for the next month! haha thats probably wishful thinking.

I updated my post - they also added a fire a little further to the right of Hogwarts on the website, probably to make the spectacle wider.

I'd love to see these fires animated on the website - THAT would be cool :)

Just came back from a trip , I confess I have not read any of the posts since I left but I am tired and will do that tomorrow, right now I just wanted to have my thoughts of the poster out of my head. Its wonderful as a visual, it says soooo much without the need of a lot of words and yet its soooo very , very sad. I am not going to say I dont like it , cause I honestly do, it is a brilliant shot of the casstle, but add this to the sadness of it all comming to an end , and it is quite emotional. my beloved Hogwarts burning. :sad: It is sad, sad, sad.
trying to look at it from the bright side. Trying very hard to do so, it promises an EPIC battle of Hogwarts , just like the one we have all wanted. But to actually see it , not only imagine it, its sad. I know I am being silly and its probably only me who thinks its sad. I cant help it. It makes me sad.

It is sad, but that's why I like it. It's an emotionally-driven poster.

Oh trust me...you are not the only one! I literally said out loud 'oh wow...' when I saw it and put my hand to my mouth. I got goosebumps and my eyes welled up. It is a very sad thing to see something we all know so well in ruins.

t is sad, but that's why I like it. It's an emotionally-driven poster.

Instead of getting me pumped for action..it makes me despise war! :lol: Which is a good thing...since when has a mainstream movie of this magnitude really show the horrors of war and how much pointless destruction and chaos it causes? How it destroys everything that was once pure and innocent and wonderful and magical...It's actually very poignant. The HP films are finally coming near to their potential. No film series has gone from a children series to an adult one in such a brilliant way. Now an image of our childhood is being burned and tattered mirroring what war does to people's homes and children's homes in the real world. It's art, I don't care what anyone says. Art mirrors life and also points the way in the right direction.

Great observation, MOD. That was one of the things Jo set out to do in writing Deathly Hallows: illustrate the horrors of war. I feel like she would be pleased.

Es impresionante! Es ver un lugar mágico , un lugar en el que todos hemos deseado estar, en total destruccion y ruina. Es triste y schockeante, por lo cual creo que es un poster fabuloso. Una obra del diseño que ha logrado sin mas ni mas expresar en una foto lo que la pelicula nos va a contar. Me parece magnífico, esta chilerisimo, y aun asi , el sentimiento que me embarga no es de emocion sino de una nostalgia y tristeza tremenda.

( Sorry, it was easier to write in Spanish and then translate it. )

I agree, good post Vince! :tu:

I was saying in Spanish, that is impressive , but what makes it so, its like you point out, to watch a magical beloved place, where we all have wanted to be at some point, totally damaged and destroyed.Its a sad and shocking image, therefore I think its a brilliant poster. A graphic display of such magnitude that says so much with so few. Its feaking awesome and yet the feeling of sadness and nostagy remains. This whole Deathly Hallows thing will be very emotional to me. I had anticipated feeling like this, but I had hope it would not be so, seems it will be and very , very emotional.

*wishes he could like this post* I agree, its so very poetic. The posters are mirrors. SS is the begining and all lively and pretty and mysterious, but DH is all creedy and desolated and devoidd of life. The sky is even rather forboding, where as the starry night sky is like "Welcome to your future"

I saw another post but I can't find it right now:

If muggle repelling charms and everything was broken down, then wouldn't they just see a burning castle, screaming, corpses, jets of light ?

That's a great way to look at the poster, as an anti-war poster! :clap:

Whether we believe war is necessary or not (and I do believe it is necessary under certain circumstances in a primitive world unfortunately) we can't deny the enormous consequences and costs of war. Rowling did set out to show the horrors of war with DH and I'm happy and proud the films are doing their part to honor this theme of Rowling. Even the shot of the death eaters trampling dead student's bodies says a lot about the horrors of warfare and it wasn't necessary to include that. IMO, it's important that when a film depicts war, even if it's fantasy it has to stay true to circumstance. Sure, there's heroics and enormous courage and bravery displayed in war that movies are so good at depicting but you also need to show the carnage and the destruction and the loss, otherwise you're over-sentimentalizing and glorifying warfare.

Thank you all for your kind comments about my post. This poster just really struck me. I had to express how it made me feel. It's art.

And this is why I think many people re-read the entire series. After the battle of Hogwarts its really a bitter sweet ending. On one hand you have voldy finally defeated but on the other you loss so many people and destroyed a very special place. Even though you have the epilogue that kind of gives you that "Happily-Ever-After" feeling things just aren't the same and definitely not so innocent.

So this only makes the reader go back and start again and remember the school and the wizarding world back at better times.

Which is funny because 99.99% of te kids out there feel like they have it rough, only to grow up and find out those were the best times of their lives and wish they could relive them again.

I'm loving my new desktop background (especially nice to have a change since I've used a Northern Lights type theme for ages now!) - thanks for the upload! :tu: This one works better than the theatrical poster with the wider scope of it and the more vibrant colors.

Yep, this poster is now my wallpaper as well..even though it's depressing to look at.

But on the other hand, it has a 4th of July vibe to it. :lol: I guess it's because the fire and stuff could almost pass for fireworks. Maybe it's the sky..I don't know but it feels like 4th of July. Perfect timing. :p

Tom Felton confirmed that he has no dialogue in the epilogue scene:

"I had a monologue prepared, but time was short," he joked. "No, it was all in the presence and the look."

What I bolded is how I've always felt about Draco in the epilogue. Excellent.

I'm so buying the poster. It's awesome. There's a place on the wall in my room that's perfect for it.

The poster is amazing!!!! Really painting-like. I hope the rest of the posters will continue using this style instead of photoshopped trio with different backgrounds like we got in the past...

I think it would be really hard for them to go back to the old poster style now. This is it. They have no choice but to keep going up.

Thank goodness. I was a little worried about how that would all play out with his wife.

yes im also quite glad draco has no speaking part for the epilogue as well

This may be old news and maybe some of you do not want to see this yet but I just saw on Bonnie Wright's fansite the pics of her filming the ending at King's cross. I was shocked they let that footage get out. Well, anyway now that I saw it I must say I like the way it looks so far and it and I am pleased they seem to be making a great effort with this crucial scene. :)

Oh my gosh. Shame on me. But thank you!

I just love this poster. Its really grown up and sophisticated, and so SO beautiful. I like that they chose to show Hogwarts burning, it just seems to opitimise whats goes on in DH.

That is a great image to use for an initial poster! Really beautiful and effective; I love the way it evokes both the Hogwarts teaser poster for Sorcerer's Stone and the final chapter of the book. More than any hyperbolic (or not hyperbolic) copy in any trailer, this visual says, "This is the last film in a truly epic story. It will be exciting, and devastating, and you have to see it."

(And I also love that the films are being referred to as HP7: Part 1 & Part 2 rather than HP7 and HP8.)

(And I also love that the films are being referred to as HP7: Part 1 & Part 2 rather than HP7 and HP8.)

Yeah - prior to the release of this poster, it had always been referred to as Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2. The HP7 thing really shortens it up - and everybody refers to it as "the seventh Harry Potter movie" anyways. Somebody said a few pages back that it's sort of representative of how everybody knows what HP7 is, even though it's not even the name of the movie.

HP8 just sort of destroys the integrity of the series and the fact that there are 7 stories. They've really been marketing it as one film, because it's one story. Marketing them as HP7 and HP8 just makes it seem like there's two separate stories in the film, and they seem like they are not related.

Yeah, I'm just saying that I appreciate the distinction that this is one film being released in two parts rather than two films produced from one book.

I had to take my girls to see Eclipse :rolleyes:. I've seen here people mentioning seeing the DH trailer with Eclipse, so I called the theater the day before and asked if they were showing the DH trailer. I was told that Eclipse was showing in 5 theaters and 3 theaters would have DH. He suggested that I call back the day I was coming to ask which theater time to attend...wouldn't you know that manager that day had no clue....so we ended up in a theater that didn't show it. Boy, was I miffed!!!

btw....that DH movie poster totally rocks!!!!!

The same thing happened to one of my friends. She saw it in one theater that didn't show it, but in another theater that one of her friends was in, they did show it.

Speaking of which, when the Deathly Hallows trailer played in my theater at the Eclipse midnight premiere it got so silent you could hear a pin drop and when it was over the theater erupted with applause.

It was such an amazing moment. I had a tears painted across my face and so did my friend on the side of me.

I like things like that because it creates an unspoken camaraderie and a mutual feeling of love and adoration for a specific thing. Even though it's obvious that a lot of people love Harry Potter.

That must have been amazing. I wish I could experience that but their is no way that I am seeing Eclipse.

Same here.

My sister and mom saw Eclipse at midnight and my sister told me that there was a girl behind her that came just to see the DH trailer. It didn't show and that girl was angry.

That picture of Hogwarts burning is chilling yet amazing. I'm really looking forward to this film. Now moreso than ever.

I agree. I wish that DH1 came out this summer and DH2 came out in November. Everyone is totally hyped up already. I am losing patience haha. I'm planning on going to the New York premiere of DH2, though. That should be amazing beyond belief.

I know I am nearing a week late with watching the DH trailer. I was in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter the Monday it was released, and I have spent the last couple of days debating whether I wanted to see the trailer. Finally, my desire to know a little more about the films paid off.

As you can likely tell, I am avoiding most spoilers for these films (so I apologize for this post, seeing as I am posting just my reactions and not keeping up with the discussion). I keep up with some of the news and some of the newly released pictures (mostly due to Mugglenet posting them as icons for news stories), but that is the extent of it. I watched the first clip, and I have now watched this official trailer. I am amazed.

Based on the trailer, the films look incredible. I certainly have a couple of qualms (being a strict "canonist"), but, overall, it looks magnificent. The trailer captured most of the main aspects of the film in just two and a half minutes. Here are a couple of my thoughts (from a relatively ignorant enthusiast) and questions (though I may not even return to see them answered!):
I hope we get a more conversation from Voldemort (i.e. "It appears, I was mistaken...") before he sees Harry, but, overall, I think this will be an incredibly emotional scene. I cannot quite connect with Harry's emotions in the trailer, but his appearance and outward emotions imply, to me, that his walk to the forest will be shared by all in the audience.
I cannot divine Ron's disguise or the wizard/goblin behind Griphook in Gringotts - but it already guarantees to be an incredible scene.
The protection around Hogwarts is intriguing. I never imagine such a visible defense, but I think it is a clever way of showing the defenses around Hogwarts slowly falling (and perhaps this is not even what it means, but that is my impression).
I am not sure who the wizard standing in front of the Hogwarts Express is. I expect it is a Death Eater coming to take Luna, or else searching the train for the trio.
I believe it is Gregorovitch we are seeing backing into the closet teeming with wands - it does not look like Ollivander, and I cannot think of anyone else it can be. I am glad this scene will be kept in the film. I think it will be incredibly suspenseful.
I wonder why Hermione's hands are no longer bloody? Is it an effort to tone down the bloodiness and violence of the film? If so, I do not think cleaning Hermione's hands in this scene is the way to do it. After all, I cannot imagine that bloodied hands are enough to push the boundaries for a higher rating.
Personally, I preferred the bloody hands, as it makes sense that Hermione would try to help Ron first and then put up enchantments. However, in the trailer it appears that Ron's wounds are much less bloody. Did Hermione/Harry attempt to heal him without touching him? Or are they just going to have Ron's wounds not be blood wounds? I think it would make much more sense to retain the bloodiness of the scene, as it would make it much more poignant.
Perhaps the blood was toned down purely for the trailer? If so, I think it would make the trailer a much more cheapened representation of the film.
I love the dragon. It is not how I imagine it, but I like how the filmmakers have made it very pale, like a cave dwelling creature would be. Overall, I was less than enthusiastic about the dragons in GoF, but I do not think I will be dissatisfied with this one. His break-in to the Gringotts hall looks incredible.
I find it interesting that Ron has fully transformed back into his usual appearance as he flees from the Ministry. Is the reason why all the Weasleys went into hiding not because Ron was discovered at Malfoy's Manor? Will they just have no one see the re-transformation (like in CoS), or are they going to deal with Ron's appearance at the Ministry in a different manner? Will the Weasleys be in hiding from the start, with no ghoul with spattergroit?
I do like seeing Kingsley on a thestral. I think this is just one of many clips demonstrating the attempt to make these films much more accurate to the books.
From the glimpse we see of Nagini's attack on Harry, it appears that Harry is not transformed. Does this mean he just re-transformed back to his usual appearance, or that he never uses Polyjuice Potion. Given the cemetery scene in the first clip, I think it is much more likely that Harry and Hermione do not use Polyjuice at Godric's Hollow.
I much prefer it this way (despite its inaccuracy with the book) because I think it will make the entire scene much more poignant for the audience. I have been an advocate from the beginning for them not to use Polyjuice Potion in this scene, and I hope this clip (and the first teaser) implies that they will not.
I liked seeing this version of the Room of Hidden Things. I was incredibly disappointed with it in HBP, so I hope it is more book-accurate in DH - which it appears to be.
I see Harry at a Muggle diner. Is this going to be a repeat of HBP? :lol: ;)
I am unsure how to feel about the final confrontation between Voldemort and Harry. From the trailer, it seems dramatically changed from the book. I hope the film does not embellish the confrontation like the trailer seemingly shows: I would much prefer the book version, but I do understand why the filmmakers may have been tempted to make the scene more cinematic.
As for the official poster for the two films, I am impressed. Although I hate seeing Hogwarts in ruins, I love its comparison with the first film's poster. It captures everything Harry, as well as the films, have gone through during these seven years. Magnificent.

I just love this poster. Its really grown up and sophisticated, and so SO beautiful. I like that they chose to show Hogwarts burning, it just seems to opitimise whats goes on in DH.
I agree. Both the trailer and the poster are so much more sophisticated than any we have seen for a Potter movie. And I'm very glad. This book was a departure from the previous ones and so much more grown up, and I'm glad those making the films are going to capture that.

Yup. I was always one to say that DH was in it's own league. It surpasses the rest of the books by a landslide, imo. The movie shouldn't be any different.

The protection around Hogwarts is intriguing. I never imagine such a visible defense, but I think it is a clever way of showing the defenses around Hogwarts slowly falling (and perhaps this is not even what it means, but that is my impression).


I don't think the actual protection is visible. I think it's on fire from Voldemort's spell and that is what we are seeing.

Hmmm that could be an idea. I think you might be right because the protection of Hogwarts doesn't extend as far as is seen in the picture/trailer.

I'm really glad they made the protection an actual bubble that we can see (even if it is only outlined when Voldemort destroys it, as Fury speculated) - it was also a good idea to have it raining fire down on the defenders of Hogwarts, and should make it a visually stunning scene.

As an aside, I hope we see a similar protective sphere over the Burrow when Harry arrives. I wonder if it would also break like the one over Hogwarts once the Death Eaters crash the wedding?

if you remember in HBP (movie) you can see the bubble protection from the outside.

i would absolutely agree with this. in the past movies we have seen spells hitting objects with a similar burning effect.

I have been wondering about this myself. Not that I am against it, I personally would prefer the use of polyjuice potion only for the Ministry heist and for Gringotts As for the other two ocassions they use it in the book ( Hary at the wedding and Godric´s Hollow) I would prefer to have the Harry and Hermione appear as they are. I had trouble imagining other people . Harry infront of the grave for instance, I could only imagine him. But anyway, from the clips we have we can assume Godric´s Hollow will not show a polijuiced Harry and Hermione.
What about the wedding, will Harry appear as himself or will he be cousin Barny?
I dont recall reading about this in the list.

Because we see Hermione and Harry as themselves in the graveyard, I think it is best to assume that they will not be polyjuiced in Godric's Hollow.

I see Harry at a Muggle diner. Is this going to be a repeat of HBP? :lol: ;)

That clip is from the conflict at Tottenham Court Road after the wedding. It's in a diner in the book as well.

Yes Fury, as I stated in my post , I assumed that as well, thanks . But what about the wedding , we dont know about that part yet, do we?

I believe it is Gregorovitch we are seeing backing into the closet teeming with wands - it does not look like Ollivander, and I cannot think of anyone else it can be. I am glad this scene will be kept in the film. I think it will be incredibly suspenseful.
That is Gregorovitch. It has to be. I just watched the HBP film and in the very beginning they show The Death Eaters kidnapping Ollivander. Hes got a bag over his head and hes being tugged away by the ear or arm by Greyback.

Yes Fury, as I stated in my post , I assumed that as well, thanks . But what about the wedding , we dont know about that part yet, do we?

Nope, we don't know about that. I don't think there has been a single mention of the kid to play Harry as "Barny Weasley".

So I guess it is safe to assume Harry will be himself there. I'm trying to think if we saw Harry in that BTS clip when Bill and Fleur are dancing.

I'm sure most (if not all) of you have seen that they've released a new promotional poster for Deathly Hallows, but I've included it below anyways.

My reason of posting this is to ask if anyone has noticed that the largest tower (Gryffindor Tower?) has a cross on top of the spire? This was not any of the previous films and is obviously an inconsistency. Perhaps the building they based the tower on has a cross on it in real life and they forgot to edit it out when assembling the Hogwarts castle...

It may seem trivial, but considering the series steers clear of religion (for obvious reasons), something as significant as a cross on a spire, especially on the castle's most important spire, is a big issue.

Your thoughts...

If there is no one cast as cousin Barny , then I too think we can assume that. Thanks for clarifying that. I was not sure about that.:)

One more question if you dont mind. What do we know about Elphias Doge? has he been cast?

side note: I could look up for it in the list , but my eyes are sore due to crying so forgive if I dont and simply ask, I am trying to keep my head busy and forget about the Argentinian humiliation today. Nothing better to keep my head busy than Potter. do forgive me , I am quite a pathetic girl who feels very strongly about the things she likes and supports.

Yes, he was cast. He's going to be portrayed by David Ryall.

I think it will be Harry. In the DH Sneak Peak from the HBP dvd there was this photo of Daniel Radcliffe at the wedding, in the tent.

http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk18/decarus427/DH/wedding/sneakpeak31.png
Also the person who was on set that day when they were filming wedding scenes mentioned Harry arriving at the wedding. I am not sure if that person would have known that it was Harry arriving if it wasn't Daniel, just based on how the set report was written.

I guess we can't be a hundred percent certain that Harry won't be polyjuiced, but i think most likely he will not be.

I decided to brave the thread, despite potential spoilers, and peek at any replies to my post.
I don't think the actual protection is visible. I think it's on fire from Voldemort's spell and that is what we are seeing.
That is an interesting idea and concept: Voldemort's destruction spell that makes an invisible barrier visible as it is being destroyed. The imagery there is quite nice, I think.

Yes, I realized that. Hence the :lol: and ;) ! But thank you, nonetheless. I am glad they are keeping the Tottenham Court Road scene -it is a huge basis for the taboo and how the trio must act throughout the book/films.

That "cross" is on the castle in the other films, beginning with Prisoner of Azkaban. Having just visited The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, I can vouch that it is on the tower of that recreation as well.

Judging from the pictures I took at the theme park, it is not a perfect cross. The arms bend slightly downward, similar to a fleur-de-lis (or else they simply get bulkier outwardly), and the tip of the spire tapers like any other spire.

Yes, he was cast. He's going to be portrayed by David Ryall.

Thank you very much:)I think it will be Harry. In the DH Sneak Peak from the HBP dvd there was this photo of Daniel Radcliffe at the wedding, in the tent.

I think this pic kind of settles it , thanks decarus.:)

This is another world building problem, but in some ways you cannot steer clear of religion. There is mention of all the major holidays as well as the fact that two verses from the Bible were quoted in DH.

Also the castle has so many inconsistencies over the years it has almost become a running joke. Sort of so i wonder what they will do to the castle this time.

One more question if you dont mind. What do we know about Elphias Doge? has he been cast?

Doge was cast and Heyman mentioned him very briefly once.
Heyman discussing Dumbledore's past: DAVID HEYMAN: 'We have Hermione reading parts of the book and we also have a character at the wedding who talks about Dumbledore's past. There's Elphias Doge, who also has a more favorable opinion of Dumbledore. Hermione finds Rita Skeeter's book and she reads the book to them.'

i love the teaser poster!! it speaks volumes about the tone of the movie

It isnt really supprising that their is atleast one cross at Hogwarts as the castle has existed for over 1000 years in a christian country.

Geez i must be addicted i watched the trailer a total of 45 times today!!! November needs to hurry up. This movie will be Epic

Well, it is by far the best trailer ever for the series. It shows you everything or at least enough to really get you revved up. The music is a little generic sounding but the overall footage they show is fantastic! I myself have seen it a lot too. I presume most fans will wear out the trailer by November. I can't imagine another trailer. what is left to show really? Other than King's cross and Charity's openeing scene(a personal favorite of mine). ;) Maybe some stuff from Malfoy manor? Either way it's finally getting to the point and reinvigorated my interest in the movies for the series. I had trouble caring about stuff in HBP becuz the books were over and I knew what was gonna happen and it was taking so long to just get the movies out (instead of the back to back style of the first 2) so I was getting frustraited with the movies and the way they were being made(HBP delay and splitting DH) ....until now with this new trailer that seems to be spot on so far with all my favorite elments of the series. ;)

Yes, I imagine I will...

But I disagree it's the best of the series. It's 2nd best, behind the 3rd HBP theatrical trailer (which I must've watched close to 100 times :whistle:)

I can't imagine another trailer. what is left to show really?

Well seeing as the trailer only shows about a minute and a half of what's expected to be at least a 4 hr movie...LOTS :lol: :p

I'll go out on a limb and say we'll have at least 3 trailers total (the one already released, a Part 1 specific, and a Part 2 specific)

However, if they plan to release a Part 1 specific trailer to cinemas, WB has limited options from what I'm seeing...

The Sorcerer's Apprentice (July 14) - Walt Disney
Inception (July 16)- Warner Bros.
Scott Pilgrim vs. The World (Aug. 13) - Universal
Nanny McPhee Returns (Aug. 20)- Universal
The American (Sept. 1) - Focus Features
The Adjustment Bureau (Sept. 17) - Universal
The Town (Sept. 17)- Warner Bros.
Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole (Sept. 24)- Warner Bros.
Hereafter (Oct. 22)- Warner Bros.


It would be REALLY smart of WB to place a new DH trailer with Inception later this month considering that movie is supposed to be their summer tentpole and is a huge gamble...it appears to be one of the most anticipated films of the year, but it's very uncertain how it's going to perform at the box office. Adding an exclusive Harry Potter trailer would be a little extra incentive to get people to go watch it. ;)

Your thoughts...


I don't think I agree that the movies (or the books) have steered clear of religion. They show the Christmas celebration in almost every movie, even with people singing carols. I don't think it's that big of a deal, actually.

There are other images of crosses and angels in the other movies. I couldn't find a good picture of the crosses in the GoF graveyard, but there's a prominent statue of an angel (not just the grim reaper that traps Harry while Peter is bringing back Voldemort, but a an angel statue besides that).

http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x151/rattlesnakeroot/hp/Cross-GoF-RiddleHouseAngel.jpg

More recently there is the prominent memorial statue with a cross in Buddleigh Babberton in HBP when Harry and Dumbledore arrive to visit Slughorn. It's what you see when they disapparate into the street.

http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x151/rattlesnakeroot/hp/Cross-HBP-BuddleighBabbington.jpg

I'm sure there are other crosses in the series if we had time to look at every screencap, and I bet we see many more in DH just because of the symbolism of death and resurrection. In The Prince's Tale, the handle of the Sword of Gryffindor is referred to as a "silver cross." And then there is the obvious meaning of "King's Cross Station."

Yep, King's Cross Station certainly alludes to the afterlife and/or the resurrection of Jesus Christ. :)

Religion IS in the books throughout the series...it's just not explicitly mentioned...it's alluded to or implied. As for the cross atop Hogwarts in the poster, I dunno if it's been there in past films or not (apparently some say it has) but who cares? I mean really, it's quite irrelevant...

I don't recall seeing it in the other movies. If it isn't really there in the previous movies, then its really wierd to put it there the year for Voldemort takes control of the school.

Anyone else seen this ?

I'm really certain about them adding the Official Theatrical Trailer for Part I with Inception, because by then, it's been a month since the Teaser Trailer, so there's a nice period of time between them.

Furthermore, I'm really praying they'll just release 2 more trailer for Part I, not containing anything of Part II. They shouldn't be spoiling too much, as they did with HBP.

But they did say, the Teaser Trailer was the beginning of an aggressive marketing campaign, so I think we can be certain of Inception.

I know one: I believe it was "The last enemy shall be defeated is death." from the words on Harry's parent's gravestones. That is from the bible.

I dunno the other one though.

What is this all about? Very strange. I would think it would have to be early on.

Speaking of which, when the Deathly Hallows trailer played in my theater at the Eclipse midnight premiere it got so silent you could hear a pin drop and when it was over the theater erupted with applause.

It was such an amazing moment. I had a tears painted across my face and so did my friend on the side of me.

I like things like that because it creates an unspoken camaraderie and a mutual feeling of love and adoration for a specific thing. Even though it's obvious that a lot of people love Harry Potter.

That's awesome. It's just like when the other films have started in theatres...just a hint of the music and you can feel the excitement and people clap at the title on screen...

This Erik guy will most likely end up being another "Sophie the boardroom lady" or "the Carrow twins". We speculated about them so much and they end up appearing in the background for just a few seconds. He could be another random Ministry employee or a wedding guest who happens to have 1 background line or something (actually, the purpose of the Carrow twins was so that Harry could look at them and had an idea that there might be a "twin" for the vanishing cabinet, but that scene ends up as a DVD deleted scene). :lol:

And this Hermione's friend.....wasn't her boyfriend the footballer who was said to appear in the film since OOTP because he was close to Yates or something? Maybe they did actually film some scenes but did not survive the cutting room?

How can Hermione have a Muggle friend who watches a Wizarding sport? That doesn't make a lick of sense.

decarus, do enlighten me please.Last question , I promise.:)
What do we know about Dobby?
Will he be reintroduced somehow, or will he just appear at Malfoy´s Mannor ?

I promise after today I will reread the list. :)
