OMG!!!!!!!! Why can’t they keep more of Alan Rickman’s scenes in the movie?! He’s brillant! I can’t wait until they bring out the HBP Special Edition set with the deleted scenes added in the movie!:)
Wow! This scene is incredible. I absolutely cannot believe that they cut this out, it has a great sense of foreboding for what happens at Hogwarts before Harry and Dumbledore come back. Aaaahhh! I want to see more now!
That was amazing. I loved the music and the shot of Snape was just chilling. Really atmospheric, I also liked the shot with Ron and Hermione looking out the window at the end. And the Dark Mark – isn’t that Emma preparing to be Hermione turning into Bellatrix?
Wow, the look on Alan Rickman’s face speaks a thousand words. Perhaps that’s why they left it out, because it gives too much away with regards to how Snape is feeling. I’m still disappointed it’s been cut out though, it’s a powerful sequence.
Watching now!!!
