They didn’t cut the Gaunts?
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Good, but It is really time for some official pictures and for the teaser trailer to come out.

ugh goshh theyve yet again changed something about hogwarts?? since when was a huge tower protruding out of the side into a courtyard :// this really gets on my nerves!! use a tower already in the hogwarts set than just all of a sudden creating one out of nowhere :/ anywayss well good :]

I can see the video, and I’m in Italy…. ???? (it’s probably Linux powers!!!!! MWAUAHUAUAHUAGAHUAHUAH!!!!!) BTW this is awesome!!!! I could see the Gaunts’ shack, Hogwart’s yard, Hagrid’s hut, Privet Drive, possibly a part of Hogsmeade station with the train, and… what else? I think there was something that looked like a forest, and a beautiful little entrance of an ancient building surrounded by blue-screen. Did you catch anything else????

rose the entrance to the ancient building you saw was the bridge linkining the clock tower to the hogwarts grounds.

Simon,
You have no idea what that tower will become. For all we know they’ll cover it in orange screen and film Mrs. Norris flying on the back of a tea kettle, who knows.
Don’t just run off and start playing Tom Smykowski’s “Jump to CoNclusioNs” game. (office space for those not informed)

I think that picture is of the Burrow. Remember how they supposedly run through tall grass during the scene? It makes sense, especially if the house supposedly catches on fire.

I can’t view the damn video. When I click play it’s freezing. Can somebody give me a full description of the video plz.

Awesome. Its going to be nice seeing the Burrow back. :)

They did cut the Gaunts. It was reported by the Snitch months ago. What you see here is the base of the Burrow. I’m guessing they add the rest by computer. Compare with this image: http://www.veritaserum.com/info/places/images/burrow.jpg
If these grounds in the closed square walls are the base of the Astronomy Tower, that’s no good. I imagine it will look stupid to see Dumbledore fall in there. It should have been an open space with slopes and all the Hogwarts outside grounds. That’s my vision of this epic scene. It won’t look so epic inside these walls. It’s just way too small…
And I’d love to know what’s this sort of path with trees on both sides and what looks like gates. Maybe it’s the gates of Hogwarts that Harry will enter after being stuck on the train?? Or maybe some other part or property that he visits with Dumbledore in his memories…

I got to c the video and i am all the way in BELIZE!!! There were some cool shots of Privet Drive and Hagrid’s Hut alsoThe Burrow. It was pretty awesome to c those while they are still in production. ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!

gutted (n) cant see the bloody video over here in england! :(

That definately loked like the Gaunts place to me…heres hoping they didnt (cut it I mean).

I can’t see it here in the US… then again the school computers are pretty crappy. Ughhh. I can’t wait to see this, and I wish they’d release a trailer alreadyyy!!!

I can’t see the video. I’ll have to wait for a kind soul to put it on YouTube…

To view it if anyone else has a problem on the left hand side of the site there is a section where you can view the UK version of the site and the International version….pick the UK version and it will work for you.
