Had a thought on the lack of 2 way mirror….first they could show Harry with it during HBP just mentioning that Sirius gave it to him…..could be in DH too at the beginning, cleaning the trunk.

Second without it, you could just have some sort of unbelivable moment where Harry says Help and Dobby just appears….don’t know how to explain it. Hopefully somehow the mirror will make an appearance even in a mention at the beginning of DH. Even a flashback scene….or crazy as it seems have him find it in Sirius room???

Who knows…just hope it shows up.

Hmmmm. Well, that’s cool….. . . . . . . . . I just hope they give Snape’s story the attention and time it deserves.

::looks meaningfully at WB:: Please.

All right! I’m so glad that Sanguini is going to be in the movie. And it’s nice that WB is thinking ahead and including Regulus, too. Haha. XD ^^v

WHY?

Perhaps when Dumbledore picks Harry up, and tells him about Sirius leaving everything to him, he gives him the mirror. Kreachers Tale is not till DH. So to cast him for HBP is rather bizarre. When they have cut other characters who are actually in the storyline, is just crazy IMO.

Haha. I once commented on a story that if they did not have Sanguini in this film I was going to boycott. And lo and behold they cast him! lol.

Heck vampires can sell any movie. True fact. XD

regulus is PERFECT! though I am confused as to where he would fit in.

WAIT!

When did we ever see Regulus in HBP???

Tom Moorcroft looks like a young Snape!! And Charlie Bennison gives me the chills :D

If they can cast these two they need to cast scrimgeour and others that haven’t been cast yet.. some that are more important… just a thought.

I have to agree that while it’s admirable that they want to slip little fun things in like Sanguini, I also would appreciate sticking to the main story and portraying at least the Gaunts because that whoe business is integral to understanding Voldemort. Without it we have nothing but “A guy named Tom Riddle rose to power and called himself Lord Voldemort and was powerful and had his soul in random objects that are not special to him.” Grr. However, again, it’s fun that they like including things only readers get.

I’m hoping with all my might that they will include the scene from the Christmas party where Snape is wandering and Slughorn decides to make things awkward by grabbing hold and hugging him. I desperately desire to see this scene. Besides, it’s necessary because Sluggy talks about Lily and I think the movies need some ounce of hinting now about that.

“Regulus is way too old, but then again Sirius is way too old, so I suppose it works…” ^ ^ The actor is 18 years old actually, according to his bebo profile.

I think it’s absolutely necessary to introduce regulus, even if only briefly. Movies and books work differently from one another. regulus has been mentioned before in the books but not the movies, so in the movies he was introduced in the books. in a movie, the audience needs to be able to visually see characters that are being talked about. that’s the point of the movie, for the audience to be able to see something, not just hear it. if regulus is only mentioned through the actors talking, then the audience might miss the whole plot twist in deathly hallows. the audience should be able to get what is going on the first time around, especially if whatever is happening makes a huge impact later on. regulus needs to be seen on screen.

and i think that it’s awesum that theyre putting Sanguini in there. HBP sounds like its gonna be the best of the movies so far:)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

its interesting reading the posts…we sort ourselves into the film fans, the book fans and those who enjoy both while recognizing the differences between the two forms

Regulus is mentioned to Harry by Sirius in OooP novel, but does not get mentioned in the film. Therefore, to build in the clue about RAB, Kloves and Yates must back track and put Regulus into the HBP film somehow, probably fairly early in the film. It will probably be just a passing reference or a picture, as some have suggested, but just enough to give those who know the films but not the novels the necessary clue

As some of us mentioned above, there also need to be mentions of the Locket and the two way mirror left out of the film version of OotP (along with other less important clues and plotlines!). And of course the fact that Dumbledore personally heard the prophecy concerning Harry and Voldy, that the prophecy had been made by Trelawney, and that they were interrupted by “someone” eavesdropping were important clues totally missing from the film version of OotP—somehow, that needs to be worked into HBP or the entire story line surrounding Snape, Lily, Dumbledore and Harry will have problems

in the film version of HBP there must be some references to Hufflepuff’s Cup and the Perevell Ring, or else those crucial clues will need to be worked into the DH film… somehow.

as for Dobby, perhaps he’ll just suddenly reappear in the HBP film, working at Hogwarts?

only seven more months and 16 days until we find out!!!!!

Idunno, maybe it was better for the movie to not include the mirror just yet. People in the audience might have wondered why harry didnt just try and get ahold of sirius in the mirror during the movie first rather than first having using the floo network, it would make more sense when analyzing it.

is it just me or does the actor portraying Regulus look alot like snape?
