Sounds good. They were never going to get that into the film without an extra scene.

So far the non-book scenes have been alright, haven’t they?

I dunno, none really stand out in my mind.

I can’t believe some people are taking this Imdb scene seriously :D I immediately read it as a joke, all the wood nymph, chest heaving stuff for one thing. For another, some of the dialogue is Americanized, especially Harry’s line about DD, and if there’s one thing the HP films get right it’s keeping the British feel to everything, including script (even if it does get cheesy from time to time).

I’m so glad that they’re doing this. Of course, I know what’s going on in the movies, but I want the people I take that may not have read them to get it too.

Oooh, intriguing quote! Can’t wait to see what they’ve added.

I’m still not 100% happy about this considering they have cut the Gaunts, Hepzibah, Bill, Fluer, and as far as we know Dobby & Kreacher.

I’m especially PO’d about the Gaunt’s or Hepzibah considering they are Voldys memories which is important.

Oh well just goes to show that the IMDB was correct

I’m all for tying up missing pieces of real plotline but PLEASE, no more talking heads! There is so much brilliant stuff written by Jo and cut from the movies that it is a total waste of film time to include non-canon material that doesn’t amount to anything.

I know Leif – this is quite a coincidence, who know if the stuff you heard about will be in there too. It just think that it will be strange to suddenly introduce Lee Jordan since he hasnt been seen since the Chamber of Secrets. But obviously now anything is possible. Others have said that this new scene will give Bella more screen time- Heck yah thats great! And I think the Hermione calling Mr.Weasley “Aruther” is a foreshadowing of the marriage of her and Ronald.

im not sure im buying that ‘new scene’... its just too out-of-nowhere to throw in. and the burrow is a safe haven, why mess that up now. cuz in dh when the patronus is like ‘the ministy is fallen, scrimegour is dead, they are coming’.... WHOA. scary! if they put that scene in hbp, when it happens in dh, ppl will be like. WELL YEAH, whadya expect!?......... i agree with those who think it will be something more subtle.. like hearing over the radio. that would be a very good moment, with all the weasleys (oh and i wish bill and fleur!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) and harry, and the tension in the room…. and what if it was by hermiones house or something.. oh and assuming they knew where she lived, ron got all flustered. that would be GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) yikes.. idk… i had really high expectations for hbp.. but no bill/fleur… ahh… that means no shell cottage… witch SUCKS.. and im sure they will just do lupin/tonks… but man…. and where is ron going to stay when he runs off? im so upset about that. AND freaking the gaunts arent in it. thats terrible…. wb…..shakes head... your killin me!

so they are adding an inconsequential scene and leaving out, Fluer/Bill, and Rufus Scrimgeour? Wow, inventive and yet very clearly Warner Brothers.

If you read the interview from above, David Barron says, “So (the extra scene) comes in the middle of the film and it just reminds us the world is no longer a safe place. Even in what would normally be considered the safe haven of the Burrow, nobody’s safe. I think you’ll like it. It’s quite effective.” I take it that the extra scene does take place at the Burrow.

but is theregoing to be two movies?

It should be a crime that they remove important scenes from the book to make room for lame irrelevant fight scenes in the films… oh well

Well, if that scene is true, technically it doesnt take place AT the Burrow, but in the reeds and marsh near it. Could be that the DE’s have an idea where Harry is, but not exactly. Part of it sounds like they’re trying to draw him away. That could still preserve the Burrow scene in DH (which technically isnt a DE attack, it’s the new “Ministry” coming to look for Criminal Number 1 (or whatever). No one is hurt in that scene, I dont think, just questioned).

This could be interesting, showing how unsafe things are, but I am also sceptical that it is real. There’s Herms calling Mr. Weasly “arthur”, the crazed wood nymph thing, Ginny’s “copper hair gleaming” (do scripts really look like that?). Maybe my number 1 issue with it is Harry and Hermione calling Malfoy “Draco”. Do they ever? Dont they always call him “Malfoy”? Tho I LOL’d at the “who could tell the difference” line.

I guess I dont have an issue with the Gaunts/Hepzibah Smith not being in it, if that’s true. It’s not them themselves that are important, its their story. We can have Dumbledore tell Harry their stories all at once, and just have the pensieve scenes go back to Riddle at 11, and Riddle wanting the DADA job or something.

I guess I’ll just wait and see.

OMG I wanna see that movie now, NOWWWWWW!!!!

I suppose I can understand why Warner Brothers decided to include this scene. While I have been less than enthralled by other news we have received about this adaptation, especially on the omission of the Gaunts, I think the inclusion of this scene is justifiable. In a film, it just wouldn’t work to interrupt every other scene to emphasize that Voldemort’s reign of terror is becoming more and more potent. Including a single scene on this point would help far more solve this problem.

My question is: How can anyone doubt the guy who leaked the script snippets? Do you think it’s some huge coincidence that he happened to call all this stuff almost a month ago? He called Greyback being in the film before the news broke that confirmed it a few days ago and now David Barron has confirmed a new Burrow scene.

It’s funny how people are still doubting the guy and saying the pivotal scene is probably Harry and the Weasleys’ sitting around and listening to news on the wireless. lol Yeah. Talk about denial.

I’ll take the fight scene in the reeds with Bellatrix/Greyback vs. Harry/Weasleys over that any day of the week, thanks. I definitely believe the script snippets are real now. Any doubts I may have had are gone. WB have Jo’s blessing and if she’s fine with it why shouldn’t I be? I think it has the potential to be a great moment and I’m going to enjoy it.

Well I only ever expect the movies to vaguely resemble the books so I’m not upset about this at all. Having read the scene it sounds totally badass and I am ALL for that so we’ll just have to wait and see how it ends up! This movie is definitely going to be a strange one but hopefully it’s enjoyably strange.

woah! sounds great….

Is this scene from the same guy who leaked the Ron/Hermione scene in OotP that turned out to be fake? I can’t remember much about that scene but it was written very much like this one (script format, but little random bits were ‘off’). I do remember something about them running from Death Eaters (in the DoM maybe?), Hermione falling from somewhere, and Ron catching her in his arms. Thought it was weird to start for how far they’d supposedly progressed by OotP (not to mention how little we’ve seen of Hero!Ron), and lo and behold – it never showed up. So I’m a bit skeptical.

I think we might have Scrimgour then.
