Instead of making up scenes, how about adding some more information about the prophecy that was left out of “OOTP.” Like how Snape was the one that passed the info to Voldemort. If this is omitted completely, a lot of what’s to come isn’t going to make sense.

I think we might have Scrimgour then. This would give him a reason to go to the Burrow and talk to Harry. Since Percy has been shafted.

We dont find out about Snape being the evesdropper until Book 6, so it wasnt left out of 5. I expect we’ll probably see that scene.

Jeff, this is an added scene that wasn’t in the book. It’s not Scrimgeour.

David Barron spelled out in his interview that the new scene is there to show that Voldemort is reaping havoc on the world and not even “safe havens” like the Burrow are safe. His quote heavily implies something bad happens there to threaten the inhabitants.

I’m actually glad about seeing this scene because it will keep me from getting my hopes up too high about the movie. I was really hopeful that this would be a great movie, but after reading this scene, I now know that it will just be like the other movies, with lots of made up and re-arranged stuff and only a line or two from the actual book.

Enzie that was the same guy. But that scene was filmed, and subsequently cut down in the editing room. The surrounding scenes that he gave us were all accurate, the use of flashbacks when Harry is possessed, the DOM scenes that were kept in the film were all given in snippets months in advanced. He is legit.

This was discussed on the IMDB boards a while ago.

Phoenix123 posted it, and I can see someone else posted the script here.

So yeah. Weasley’s house gets burned by Bellatrix. At least we know it’s in the middle of the film. Maybe at Christmas?? Ohh, exciting! And with JKR’s consent, I’m up for it!

I want to know what the scene is so bad. i’m not worried htough because they added a scene that wasnt in the fourth movie and it was awsome. so i know it will be okay i just want to know whats going to happen. its eating my brain.

it can’t be the princes death. just reread the first chapter doesn’t fit. and if i remember right year six is on 96-97.

though i do hope they’ll keep the minister chapter in, it seems right to keep it in.

I am not sure yet how I feel I think we have to see it in the film to really judge it. I am still hoping for the Gaunts some how making it in. Wasn’t there something in the OOTP extras about the mother going up to the orphanage? Maybe they will be in flashes so the people playing the parts won’t actually get names or billing or maybe I am just grasping at strings right now. The Spoiler some one posted does look a bit odd in the writing style. The scene is taken out of context so we don’t know if it is believable as a scene since we don’t know exactly what leads up to it. Also, you never know if it will make it into the final cut of the movie anyway. When they go and edit the movie they may not like how it feels with the rest of the story and could end up on the cutting room floor.

Yes, by all means. Put things into the movie that aren’t in the book, but please keep cutting things that the fans would really love to see. Like Grawp, a loong scene with a character who isn’t significant to the plot whatsoever. I’m betting the fans would have preferred Harry and Cho in Hogsmeade or Ron playing quidditch and Weasley is our King to that. Talk about priorities. I’m praying for a new producer for DH, one that actually gets Harry Potter and his world of fans would be really nice.

I am looking at it as the “added scene” has nothing to do with the “leaked scene” Things can change during the filming at any time, the “leaked scene” may never make it into the film, the “added scene” may not have even been filmed yet and still could change.

Since the “added scene” has JKR’s full blessing, it may just tie all those little bits & pieces from all over the book into one spot, the only thing being “new” is that they are in one spot.

I have always said that “the book is always better than the movie/musical/play/tv series.” I love Tolkien, yes the LOTR movies were great, but many bits & pieces were left out, incorporated into/onto different characters, and the order in which theywere written switched around for continuity as a movie. Les Miserables, I fell in love with the book during English class in the 9th grade. (I reccomend the Penguin Classic translation) The musical is phenominal, but to get 1400+ pages to the stage believe me thay cut a lot. Eponine actually has a sister and Gavovroche is really her brother, never mentioned in the play for example. Gone with the Wind. It took just under four hours to squeeze a 1000+ page book into a film. Some things just get dropped/changed.

My point is, from book to film, things will change or dissappear. If the whole story, every scene were to be put on film, it would wind up being a ten hour mini series shown on TV. (and take more than twice as long to make) I am not going to get my wand in a knot worrying about what will/won’t make it into the movie, inevitably something will.

Why are people still discussing if this scene is in the movie or not. PRODUCER DAVID BARRON JUST (kinda) CONFIRMED THAT THis IS THE SCENE. How better to show the world has gotten dangerous, than by letting Harry get attacked. You can make it clear by a message on the radio or a vissit by fudge. There has got to be visual prove. The scene makes sence.

okay, I said ‘can’, I wanted to say ‘can’t’.

to liby, I don’t think the Burrows gets burned down; that is going wayyyy to far.

and regardless of who said this scene is in the movie there still a lot of editing, so maybe it can change.

because I still think RELEVANT PLOT-wise that the burrows Can’t be attacked in the 6th book.

how will they deal it on the 7th then? Harry going to a random place before he goes hunting the horcrux? how can Ron and Hermione go with him if the only place where they usually meet up is the burrows and they can’t meet at private drive and leave because private drive is important for other reasons.

Hogwarts? it’s been taken by voldemort. the only place left is the burrows. *not because of the wedding- because I think that is one of the things that is going to be cut down but for the trio to hear and receive the stuff in the will and THAT stuff is crucial to the plot

and like I said before If Harry got the Weasleys attacked in this scene he probably wouldn’t want to risk going there again. BUT HE NEEDS TO, therefore if the burrows is attacked it kind of screws the plot.

so yeah, still skeptical

Yeah, I agree with Nylorac… they put in what they can, they dont what they cant. They’re going to try to make the best movie for ALL fans, not just the 1000’s here on Leaky. (we are the minority, people)

You cant just say, “why did they put stupid grawp in, when they could have had Ron playing quiditch”. Well, first of all, Grawp is important in the end of the film, when H/HR have to get away. Second of all, Grawp is one scene (two with H/HR’s escape): they involve 4 actors at the most, the rest being special affects. Putting in Ron playing quiditch with Weasley is our king would involve filming SEVERAL scenes, all with stars and minor players, special affects, not to mention all those extras, when it adds NOTHING to the plot. That’s what the book is for, for all those nuances. You dont need it in the movie. You did need Grawp, so H/HR could get away from Umbridge and the Centaurs, and for future use in DH. Just because you didnt like a character (I hate grawp in the book!), doesnt mean he isnt needed.

OMG..

Long live Phoenix123 And a big Fyou to the people who said he was lying!!

Once again Phoenix proves to be fantastic and that he is trust worthy.. like i once said before.. at least the people who believed Phoenix now know cool script bits of HBP, and the people that didn’t believe him are feeling bad for calling him names..

Hail to Phoenix123

You do have to be aware if you look hard enough you can find fake scripts or real scripts on the net. Sometimes on ebay even.

Cool a new scene. I bet it’s going to be something that involves an attack in the muggle world or maybe it will show something else. he mentioned the burrow, so maybe something will happen there. but then again the burrow is pretty well protected by the ministry because they know harry’s going to be there. I don’t really care what the scene is, JKR has given it her approval so it can’t be bad.

I think there are three things we need to consider about this “leaked script”. Just small details that make me think of it as utter nonsense: 1st, The burrows is an important part of the 7th book, as well as the 6th book. This has been already pointed out. 2nd, Death Eaters don’t have the ability to make such an attack because they don’t have control over the government yet. They resign themselves to attacking muggles, and waiting for Dumbledore, who owns the Elder Wand and therefore works like a protecting force over Harry and his schoolmates. Besides, They couldn’t possibly find out where Harry was since… 3rd, if they did know where Harry was, and they had the ability to make such an attcak, do you really think it would be Bella and Greyback? As happens several times in the last book, they’d probably call Voldemort as soon as they found the boy. Voldemort knew he had to kill Harry.

Because of all those things I consider that scrip to be fake. To any of you who have read the books, please think to yourselves, does that scene make sense? It doesn’t, and I don’t see ow Rowling could give her blessing on that, unless she had completely lost her mind. And if I actually happen to be wrong, and the scene is in the movie, then I’ll just skip it and reread the book. A shame, I had so much hope on this one.
