Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part Two [incl. SPOILERS] v.2

[decarus]

I hope they keep the "i think they might have noticed we broke into Gringotts" line. I am usually not that specific about things i want them to keep especially dialogue but that was something that was so funny in the book. It was such a great light moment between the two heist and the battle. They usually don't keep things that specifically and i can always laugh at the book but it would be nice.

It's a puzzler why they do this since it is widely known what actually happens.

You know what it really does... its demeans the deep, abiding love that Harry and Ron have as friends, and deep abiding love Ron and Hermione fall into from Harry's perspective. I think pushing the fake love triangle actually cheapens part of the story.

It is??? Well they walked there from school. It didn't seem like a strenuous hike. Can't be that far with an underground tunnel leading to it. I don't remember snow in the book either. It is May. I understand it's the movie not the book, but it doesn't make much sense. Dementors guarded Hogwarts and it wasn't snowing. None of that makes sense or lines up with past info. The scenes from the trailers seem straight out of the timeline of on the run but don't carry into Hogwarts.

I think it is fair to remember that the Dementors are breeding and in huge numbers at this point. Their numbers would increase their ability to change the weather, and it is even mentioned in canon.

Fair to mention, but unless they mention it specifically as a cause it just looks like a weird inconsistency to a movie viewer.

True but at this point to most "movie only" fans they are all kinda lost these days due to empty spots and unexplained things in HBP.

[decarus]

I wonder if they will say it. I like the idea of the snow being caused by dementors a lot more then the snow being caused by Hogsmeade supposedly being above the snow line on a mountain. I think that is rather stupid because how far are we supposed to believe the students walk to get there. I agree it will seem like a weird inconsistency if it isn't mentioned. The thing is i think that if they have decided the reason for the snow is because it is above the snow line then it won't be mentioned.

And odd that is...we've watched the movies, seen the walk, seen the tunnel, not to explain is weird.

9th Wonder and myself decided to retire the All-Inclusive List for both parts and have now started up the All-Inclusive DH Part 2 List with just the chapters for Part 2. We have finished a major revision in preparation for the featurettes we are supposed to get this week and we have ordered the timeline to the best of our knowledge at this time. There are major spoilers in the list so if you don't want to know then don't read it. If there is anything we missed feel free to owl either myself or 9th_Wonder.

The All-Inclusive DH Part 2 List

I was wondering, do you think we'll see the dragon blow fire?

Oh joy. Notice we don't get a take on Ron's and Harry's relationship or Ron's and Hermione's relationship. Instead we get stuck with more Harry/Hermione relationship talk.

Someone should really tell the makers of these movies that Harry and Hermione are nothing but friends, really good friends but still friends. They are not even remotely attracted to one another.

The word relationship has many meanings, it doesn't have to be romantic. Harry and Hermione's bond is important to the books so talking about it isn't an issue to me and I think it's totally allowable that they discuss it.

Maybe thats what they will say.

[Sacred_Memories]

I'm not trying to start a shipping war, but Rowling herself said Harry and Hermione felt charged moments for each other when they were alone together. Anyway, that's not the point. Harry/Hermione have an insanely powerful bond of friendship. I'd argue moreso than Ron/Harry, especially during DH.

She also said that people who thought Harry and Hermione would get together were "delusional".

Plus as far as i am aware Harry and Hermione should have no special moments in Deathly Hallows Part 2 as from memory i don't think they really have a scene together without Ron being there.

It just annoys me that Yates is going to discuss Harry's and Ginny's relationship and then he is going to discuss Harry's and Hermione's relationship. I guess in the world of David Yates Ron doesn't exist.

Maybe he will say something about it, this announcement might as well be a shortened summary after all.

I think Ron and Hermione will get their moments in the movie, imo it really doesn't matter what the director says in interviews as long as the movie is done correctly. And maybe making assumptions about characters that the director doesn't like should be done with some care. Unless he tells us and we have definite proof.

[gabriele87]

If you notice, the featurettes are not limited to Part 2 content. There's a featurette about the Marauder's Map. So I don't think that a featurette about Harry/Hermione means that there are more Harry/Hermione moments to come. Anyway, there is a separate thread for discussing this issue.

We do have definite proof that David Heyman wanted Harry and Hermione to get together.

[Hes]

Yes, but that's just the personal opinion of a person involved with the movies and not of JKR. She has such heavy involvement. Heyman's views doesn't mean this ship will happen at the end of the movie. Why care what others think of Ron? He gets his girl in the end and rightly so. So I would just ignore anything else, it only works people up.

And yes as gabriele87 so rightly points out, we do have a thread for this topic, so I am leaving it at that.
