Way Ahead for Deathly Hallows Movie(s)

[decarus]

I apologize for being repetitive, but i am fairly certain that photo is not after the silver doe scene. In the photo of Ron and Harry alone Harry is wearing a grayish hoodie with a blue shirt and jeans, but in the silver doe scene Harry is wearing a high collared gray sweater/jumper with the cuffs folded over and jeans.

I also think that there is one shot of Ron looking very scared in the sneak peek that could also be from the silver doe scene, but that is just my speculation.

I think it's going to be really hard to decide where/when these chase scenes take place until we get more information. Pictures, interviews, another trailer maybe.

I don't think that that picture of Harry and Ron alone is the Silver Doe scene. I agree with decarus, because in the Silver Doe scene harry has a grey sweater with a high collar. In that picture of him and Ron he isn't wearing that sweater.

Aren't there supposed to be chases after both the Xeno scene and the Voldemort taboo "oops"?

This is what I'm talking about:

Posted by dream silently on December 13th:

Yes Alan Rickman has started shooting bits of his Hogwarts scenes.

Has he mentioned the scene since and clarified? I may have missed it.

Unless he shot stuff with Voldemort at Hogwarts (which I suppose is possible) or scenes when he was alone (also possible) then dream silently is mistaken (unless I'm not aware of more of his posts). On December 7th Alan Rickman stated that he had only shot scenes with Ralph Fiennes "a couple of weeks ago" which was around when he was stated to be on set during Thanksgiving week. He hadn't shot scenes with anyone else at that point. And he was in New York from the beginning of December to at least the first week of January. He was sighted several times, complete with pictures, and his assistant sent out letters to fans that stated he would be in New York until January and would be returning in the New Year to film DH.

Interestingly that video that I posted here of the Dec 7th interview was posted in the harrypotterforum thread on Dec. 11th. Dream silently posted on the 13th that AR had filmed bits of his Hogwarts scenes.

Anyway, it put a little bit of doubt in my mind. At the very least he hadn't shot the scenes that many people may be assuming he shot already (speech, second Trio stuff, battle) based on what dream said because he was likely not on set. He wasn't even in the country.

Another thing that made me doubt a bit is that he has given details on several occasions about Snape's memories and then he goes and says that he doesn't know much about them. Kind of conflicting info.

Anyway, just trying to clarify my earlier posts.

A lot of the stuff he says sounds really, really cool, so I hope he isn't making it up, but I'm just still slightly skeptical.

I just thought I'd comment on how I have that exact same gray high-collared sweater as Harry in that shot It was a Christmas present.

[JoAdams]

Well maybe Rickman shot scenes with Fiennes at the 'boathouse'?Or the scene where Voldemort takes Dumbledore's wand?
Both scenes happen at Hogwarts and they may even add more.
I wouldn't be that suspicious. Why don't we ask him the question and check what he answers? It will definitely be very suspicious if he answers the speech was shot during the Thanksgiving holidays. :/

I am totally with you here. I too dislike the idea of "destroying" a wonderful character moment by adding action. The scene has enough action, not to mention mystery, already. It is supposed to be about Ron defeating his fears and insecurities and it's a wonderful friendship moment. I want to see the hug between Ron and Harry. But then, the WB has, IMO, never cared much about characterization, character development, the dynamics between characters, motives or subtleties. Hence, I'm astonished where their notion comes from the movies were character driven. But maybe they'll surprise us.

Sorry I don't remember this very clearly but..he said something like that...
So he didn't say anything about the death scene not taking place in a boathouse...
Actually I thought that if it wasn't there he would have told us right away...it seemed like he hinted the scene does take place in a boathouse...

Yes, that's the comment I was thinking about. I took that to mean though that Snape's death does not occur in the boat house. But you're right, dream_silently does not outright deny it. On the other hand, if the location of Snape's death is supposed to be a surprise, the boathouse wouldn't fit that description, IMO. It has no significance whatsoever, not for Snape individually nor for HP as a whole. It has never featured in the books or the movies. So where is the surprise? What's so special about it?

You were there? Like in "in the same room with Alan Rickman"? You lucky one. Did you get an autograph?

decarus, I don't think the pic of Ron you posted is during the Silver Doe. At least not during the locket destruction, IMO. It looks more like a close up of a running Ron. Likely running from DEs or Snatchers.

I agree. I doubt there is a chase after the doe scene. I think the chases will be:

-The escape from the wedding
-Breaking out of the MoM
-The escape from Godric's Hollow
-The escape from Xeno's
-The chase after saying Voldemort
-The escape from the Malfoy's

I don't think I am missing any but I could be wrong here...A chase after the doe scene is not needed.

Yes, I agree those are possibilities. As I said, I am a little skeptical, not outright saying he's a fake. While I'm careful about unconditionally believing everything he says, I'm also not totally trying to say the guy is a fake, especially as I remember how badly people reacted to the HBP guy 'scoop'.

I agree. If the boathouse rumor is true, then for it to have any sort of surprise value they would have to come up with something new for the movie. The easiest thing would be to set one of the Severus and Lily memories there.

I didn't then, but I have one from another time. I'm glad he seems to like NY.

decarus, I don't think the pic of Ron you posted is during the Silver Doe. At least not during the locket destruction, IMO. It looks more like a close up of a running Ron. Likely running from DEs or Snatchers.

Yeah, I agree. Harry is dressed differently and it looks like it may be a warmer weather scene.

It is complete speculation on my part. There are no other photos of Ron wearing what he is wearing in that shot though. It could be from another scene, but it is not from the snatcher chase scene or the other chase scene.

If they show Ron after he leaves when he meets the snatchers for the first time, it could be from that. On the other hand, i do think the lighting looks similar to the shots of Harry walking from the sneak peek, but it is really just speculation. I may be wrong and am fine with that.

I wouldn't call all of these "chasing" scenes per se, but that's just semantics. If we're talking about action sequences, we would have to include the Seven Potters. The escape from the Malfoys can still take place in DH2, since we're still not sure where the split will be.

I am wondering about saying Voldemort's name. Is it confirmed or rumoured to be in?

Quick-k-k question! (Sorry this has nothing to do with DH; well, it does, in a way). Where do you get all this info. on Alan? I'd really like to see him in more interviews/get more basic info. about him, but I can't find it anywhere. XoX

This is where the Rickman info is coming from, at least this interview:

Alexandre Desplat will be composing DH pt 1. What do you guys think about this?

I won't give my full opinion until I've heard music he does for the Harry Potter movie. However, I will say that I listened to the song he did for New Moon, and it was excellent, quite dramatic. Given the storyline for Part One of Deathly Hallows, I say that he could do quite well. I can just imagine his music for the Silver Doe scene. If he does it right, it will be unforgettable.

However, I do want to see John Williams back for Part 2. Nobody besides him could make the Hogwarts Battle scene music more epic.

Hans Zimmer could, in my opinion, but that is for the DH Composer Thread.

I really think that they are overdoing all these chases. I liked the ones in the book a lot, and I am afraid this could be overkill. But I could be wrong.

Yeah I saw this on Mugglenet as well. I know nothing about Desplat and I have not seen any of Desplat's recent films like The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Julie & Julia, The Golden Compass, and The Twilight Saga: New Moon, but I have faith that, if true, they would not hire him unless they were sure he would do a great job.

[ronjalina]

So DH1 and DH2 will have different composers? I am not sure how I feel about that. Although I'm sure the WB will try to give both movies a feel of a complete stand-alone movie, they are still two parts of one. They are the adaptation of one book. Thus it's a bit different than with the other movies, IMO. DH1 and DH2 should feel more "connected", if you know what I mean. That, in my opinion, would mean, same cinematographer and same composer. Just as they have the same director and scriptwriter for both movies too.
