I was wondering if any of you guys thought that they are going to cut out the Harry/Lupin argument at Grimurald Place? Do we have any clues or otherwise?

I'm hoping they keep this in because otherwise how does the audience know about Teddy Lupin? He was cast for the epilogue right? Plus I desperately want another Harry/Lupin moment since we haven't really had one since PoA.

[nicholasmanning]

Im really hoping they keep this scene in as well!!!

[decarus]

I really like the Lupin scene at Grimmauld Place. I do think it might be cut only because they have cut most of the Lupin/Tonks stuff from the other films. I hope i am wrong.

Teddy Lupin has been cast. They could just mention that Tonks is pregnant at the wedding and then have Lupin visit them at Shell Cottage. I am not sure if more is needed then that. They have cut out all of Lupin's worry about Tonks marrying a werewolf so it could just see them cutting his worry about having a child.

I hope they don't cut this scene. I thought that was why they were making two movies, so they wouldn't have to cut out too many scenes?

[nicholasmanning]

wait so its been confirmed that voldermort wont mock Bellatrix at malfoy manor for tonks marrying Lupin?

Well it is, but i still think they will cut some stuff because of pacing issues and whether it is import to the plot or not. We don't know for certain if it will be cut. We will just have to wait and see.

How do you think "The Tale of the Three Brothers" will be presented?

I don't know how is the best way of doing it on screen. I would like to see like some kind of flashback, maybe an animated one (at least it would be a great DVD extra ); but propably we will just see Hermione reading it...

[nicholasmanning]

i think the tale of the three brothers will be just like in the book with Hermoine reading it at Xeno,s house no need to deviate from the story in that instance

Lupin's "If we start fighting amongst ourselves, we're doomed" remark to Harry in HBP makes me think that the Grimmauld Place argument will be there.

I agree. They've changed the context of Tonks and Lupin's relationship by cutting all of the angst of Lupin rejecting Tonks and her subsequent depression and instead showing them as an established couple at Christmas in HBP. I had the impression that they were already married actually. In that context, revealing that Tonks is pregnant isn't really something that will need to be explained. They could have Tonks tell Harry that she's pregnant in Seven Potters instead of revealing that she and Lupin got married - or even have one of them mention that when Harry is at the Burrow.

I think it's possible that they will keep Lupin visiting the trio at Grimmauld Place because he does bring them information - i.e. explaining about how the attack at the wedding was part of simultaneous attacks on homes believed to be connected to the Order in an attempt to find Harry - and I think the discovery that the trio had somehow been tracked by Death Eaters on Tottenheim Court Rd. helped the Order figure out the Taboo. But I think they will probably either cut the argument between Harry and Lupin completely or change the context to fit the happy, established relationship shown in HBP.

However, they are likely to cut some of Lupin's scenes and if it comes down to a choice, I would prefer them to keep Lupin showing up at Shell Cottage to announce Teddy's birth over his appearance at Grimmauld Place. I think that would be better for establishing Teddy Lupin. And that would give us that wonderful moment between Harry and Lupin where Lupin asks him to be Teddy's godfather.

Oh yeah! I remember watching that and going "Oh My Gosh! That is so ironic!"

So...hopefully the writers thought so too, and meant for it to be foreshadowing! I guess we'll see!

So do you think that when the battle first begins that Voldemort will be standing back from the battle and he will send in his snatchers first to fight and keep the death eaters back. Then he will kill Snape and Harry will come to him. He will 'kill' Harry and then take his body to Hogwarts and only then will the death eaters and Voldemort join in the battle.

As someone mentioned these look like snatchers.

snatchers:    

---

I am not sure because in this shot all the death eaters have their wands out so they might be preparing to enter the battle.

voldemort and death eaters:    

---

I just think the death eaters and voldemort look up high and this may be right after Voldemort attacks the Hogwarts protection. I don't know.


Also i wonder if it is possible that the shots of Filch by the cell that then explodes could be shots of Hogwarts during the school year as in possible from Part 1.

filch:    

---

It just seems weird that Filch would be locking anyone up that look to be dressed like students right before the battle begins.

I can see it as Hermione reading it and it cutting into little animations. I can picture really simply drawn black and white with Hermione's voice-over for the narration.

I agree they could use a Lupin visit to give the trio information. I am not sure if that is even necessary and while i like the argument where Harry actually stands up to one of the older crowd and tells them they aren't doing the right thing. I could just see them cutting it.

I also agree that i would much rather have the scene at Shell Cottage where Lupin makes Harry the godfather then the scene at Grimmauld Place.

I have thought that screen cap you have labeled as snatchers was actually the defenders of Hogwarts coming over the hill side from Hogsmeade after Voldemort announces Harry is dead and hundreds of people coming running over the hill to join the battle and defend Hogwarts. That was my initial thoughts on that when we first saw it.

And I like your idea for that Filch screen cap because I was having a hard time believing that Filch (as grumpy and rude as he was) would ahve locked up students during the battle. It wasn't fitting in my mind. Maybe the explosion is DA members blasting a hole in the wall to free the students like they talked about doing in the book.

Yeah, this shot is most likely from part 1...it would be silly for it to be during the battle of Hogwarts IMO. I'm gonna guess that this scene is a sequence of rebelling students at Hogwarts being locked up to the delight of Filch and then the DA come and rescue them by blasting open the cell or whatever it is they are locked in.

[Beatifically]

For the poll, I chose the second option.

I'm not bothered about changes in The Flaw in the Plan. If they make it a bit more dramatic by having a larger, more intense battle, then they should go for it. The final battle between Voldemort and Harry wasn't very exciting (though I understand the beauty from a literary perspective), something I think works well for a novel but not so much for a film. Thankfully Heyman said they are drawing it out a bit and adding things to the battle

[Slartibartfast]

Ohh shiny new thread! These are filling up quicker and quicker!

That Filch shot looks like its showcasing whats going on at Hogwarts. Filch is getting more power to discipline the students the way he always wanted under the new regime. (Snape has little choice but to turn a blind eye.) So im assuming part 1.

That Death Eater shot is cool. Love the look on Bellatrix's face! (Whos that dude on the right of Voldy?)

Lupin at Grimmauld Place: Yeah i really hope they keep that in there. Its a small part of Lupin's character development (even though hes in the background so much after PoA) and also a character development moment for Harry. I assumed that they would reveal that Lupin and Tonks are married at the beginning of the Seven Potters scene.

I also initially thought that they were the defenders of hogwarts as well because they were running down the hill, but i think that some of them look like other shots we have had of snatchers. Two of them look familiar.

snatchers:

We have these really blury photos of snatchers leaving Swinley forest where they filmed this and one has those black around his eyes. Also in this shot when the snatchers are chasing the trio you can see the snatcher to the right looks like he has black around his eyes. I think there is a guy in that shot of them running down the hill that has the similar black around his eyes.

blurry photo of snatcher and harry running down the hill:

Then there is also this snatcher with these tight plaid pants. He also seems to be in the shot where they are running away that we were unsure of for so long. He looks like a guy similar in the shot where they are running down the hill.

After writing this i am actually a little unsure. The shot is too blurry and quick to i guess be able to tell. It was a theory.

Yeah that is what i was thinking. It seems a little odd that they would show that during the battle though i am still not sure that i am convinced that they are going to show any scenes at Hogwarts besides Snape scenes and Voldemort getting the elder wand in Part 1.
