    Part I's shooting hasn't finished yet. They haven't filmed most scenes with Lord Voldemort (they will finish these scenes in late January) and they are about to begin the shooting of the Ministry of Magic battle which will be epic. Imelda Staunton comes back and there will be three parts of the battle: first, duels with Umbridge and Death Eaters, then a Dementors chase (which will be quite scary) and finally a really intense showdown in the Atrium (which is completely DIFFERENT. Black tiles, very low silver light, rock formations and a very murky atmosphere.) In addition, they will travel to Scotland for more background shooting for both films (most part of this will take place next Spring, though).

    Concerning Part One: the Seven Potters battle takes place mostly in the air. Little Whinging, London downtown, English countryside and the exterior of the Burrow. When they all reach the reeds surrounding the Burrow there will be a chase inside the fields and marshes, similar to the HBP one. The Death Eaters will try to reach the house but there is going to be a gigantic protective sphere protexting the house from them. The entire sequence is going to be one of the best action sequences of the series (until Part 2). Furthermore, another battle happens right after the wedding. The protective sphere is smashed and the duels will be massive (wait for great action scenes with Greyback,Lucius, Bellatrix, Lupin, Tonks and the Weasleys). In addition, the Silver Doe scene will be quite similar to the Cave scene in HBP. It's happening in the depths of a completely snow-covered forest and the lake is going to be pretty big (not a pond). Harry will do a lot of swimming until he finds out the sword in the depths of the lake. The diving scenes (there is going to be lots of ice too) are going to be pretty scary and haunting. Furthermore, the Death Eaters will come to that place after Ron saves Harry and destroys the Locket.There will be a brief battle inside the snowy forest before they meet Hermione and apparate to a snowy mountain.
    There will also be lots of scenes with the Death Eaters. We'll see them wreaking some havoc. The film will feature few scenes at Hogwarts (and the Astronomy Tower set will be used for 2 scenes and it will be important in Part 2 too). In the beginning of the film, there will be a moment where Snape watches Dementors flying over the lake and mountains and Death Eaters guarding the walls of Hogwarts and invading the courtyards and the Great Hall.
    The film is supposed to finish when the Snatchers destroy Xenophilius Lovegood's tower-house and they chase the kids in the forest. There will be a massive fight scene but the trio will be captured and transported to Malfoy Manor. Voldemort will be at Numerngard and he will fly over the stormy ocean to go and catch Harry.

    Some few details about Part 2:

    it's turning out to be the most epic film of the series (and one of the most epic ones ever). The Malfoy Manor and Shell Cottage scenes have been filmed. The Manor battle will be MUCH MUCH bigger than what you actually expect. The set is HUGE. It's actually like a big castle and battles will take place in many places and towers. They have started shooting Gringotts scenes last week and they'll wrap sometime in January. The entire climactic war sequence at Hogwarts is going to be amazing. The filming started in mid-October and they wrapped shooting a part of it last week. They will continue shooting few stuff in December,January and February(but during that time they will be shooting mostly: Gringotts,Voldemort's quest,Ministry heist and Snape/Dumbledore pensieve scenes). They will focus on the battle in late February and they will wrap shooting it in early/mid-May before shooting the epilogue (which will be the last scene to film). They were filming the battle for 4 entire weeks and they haven't filmed more than 20% of it. It's going to be huge. And I'm talking about the BATTLE. Not the limbo scene with Harry and Dumbledore or the Pensieve or the forest confrontation with Voldemort.
    They have shot action scenes in the two main courtyards, in the Great Hall and the Entrance Hall and Moving Staircases. The Great Hall is really damaged. Finally, the Fiendfyre sequence was filmed in August and it's going to be the most amazing way to prepare the audience for the war scenes.

    That's all for now. I'll come back to update you.

    Got any proof this is true?
  3.  
    I'll give you some artwork pics at Christmas but now I am afraid I can't.

    The art department is working really hard these days. There are many different sketches for the Harry/Dumbledore limbo sequence.

    Part 1 will truly feel like a 'road film' as Yates said. All scenes will have a very eerie atmosphere of danger. Part 2 will be more straightforward, let's say. The really nice thing that they're doing is the fact that we will be able to see Voldemort's own journey to find the Elder Wand. So the first part will not focus only on the Trio.

    Personally, though, I think that the best action scene will be the Gringotts break-in. The artwork is mind-blowing.
  4.  
    I forgot to mention:


    Snape will not get killed in the Shrieking Shack. I'll leave it as a surprise but the place where he dies is very very very interesting.

    These scenes are to be shot these months.

    You will really like Ron's own journey after he leaves Harry and Hermione. There is a scene with him and the Snatchers and we see him being alone in the countryside and we see all the mysterious things with the Deluminator. When Harry sees the Silver Doe (the second time because he sees it in another forest before and as he approaches it disappears) we see a shadow. It's all very dark and intense but it's Ron. The Horcrux scene will be really frightening. The Harry/Hermione kiss has been shot months ago and they'll be like black/grey ghosts with red eyes approaching to kiss. Voldemort's voice will be heard, too. And Rupert did an amazing job (he was trembling and turning into evil and crying at the same time). As they leave, they hear strange voices and DEs apparate in the distant trees. They run and hide. The DEs fly in black smoke and they're all masked. Harry and Ron find Hermione and they apparate just when the DEs create some sort of a maelstrom around the place. As they apparate on a snowy mountain, they see Hogwarts far far away behind some mountains. It has a very nostalgic feel. Hermione gets all crazy with Ron but things get better when they begin traveling again.

    And about Shell Cottage. The exterior scenes are beautiful. The distant cliffs, the beach and the infinite sea, the cottage. There's a beautiful pic with Shell Cottage during sunset and Harry alone at the beach looking at the sea. The entire beginning of Part 2 will have this feel of the final 'golden' moments before the war at Hogwarts (the Dragon flight is also a beautiful scene).

    That's all for today. I'll come back in the upcoming days to update.
    Goodnight.

    It's a guess but Snape will be killed on the Astronomy Tower. It fits, and I would like that as it parallels with Dumbledore's death and harry can watch, again, from under the floor and the astronomy tower would be out of the way of all the battles right? Hmm. It would be immense, but every purist would kill themselves.
  6.  
    I won't reveal this. But it's surprising, yet it completely fits with the script.

    And I think that fans will love Snape's death foreshadowing. There is a scene where he completely feels that he is going to be killed. They haven't shot these scenes but they are about to.

    Overall, the entire Battle of Hogwarts is going to surprise you. There are many new sequences and some twists.


    Ask whatever you want about the films (especially Part 1 since it's 90% finished).
  7.  
    Ok..here are my questions.

    1)Is there a Hogsmeade scene with the trio in Part 1 ?
    2)Will we see DD's Funeral and if not how the White Tomb - Elder Wand thing will be introduced ?
    3)Someone told us that there is some kind of "fight-duel" between Cissy and Bella.Is that true?
    4)When DEs arrive at the Wedding do we get to see the battle that follows or we just see the trio apparating?
    5)How does Part1 start ?
    6)Tell us things that Yates has added to the films.
    7)What has he cut ?
    8)Do you have any script extracts?

    I know they're many but it would be awesome if you could answer them.Oh and please post something, that will make us believe all the things you say are true, soon.
  8.  
    I was under the impression the Cissy/Bellatrix scene was an argument that "almost" resorted to blows.

    Can you tell us though how much Greyback will feature? Will he really attack Katie Bell or was that just made up?
    Will Nagini still kill Snape?
    How big a presence will Voldemort have? Will he feature more prominently than in the book? And what about Snape?
    What is the DE attack at the cafe like?
    Will the Inferi feature at all again other than in Harry's dream?
    What are the scenes at Hogwarts?
    Will we see Moody's Death? Will the other's perspectives during the 7 Potters for that matter?
    Have they hired a composer yet?

    Not much then chris? Haha

    I don't want to get you into trouble, providing that you are legitimate, which is questionable obviously.
    All I'm really intrigued about is the scene in Godric's Hollow. How does the ending of that part pan out? I have this image of harry and hermione diving and smashing through bathilda's bedroom window as voldemort descends from the sky, and then harry seeing the flashback. I don't know I just have this image of a small baby covered in dirt and soot reaching for his mother, in the semi-demolished nursery and then harry landing on the floor, the sound blurred out, tears running down his face as hermione screams and tries to stop the flow of blood from Harry's wounds. Does it follow those lines? Is it like hyper-realism like the Dark Night, for instance?

    1. No they don't. The whole plot with Aberforth is a mystery (they discuss the mirror shard at Shell Cottage a lot) up until the entire sequence at Hogsmeade before the Hogwarts battles.

    2.No the funeral hasn't been filmed. But yes they show Dumbledore's tomb and there is a scene where Voldemort takes the Elder Wand (in the first half of Part 2)

    3.There is no duel between the two of them. But we see a lot more going on in Malfoy Manor and Spinner's End than what you might expect.

    4. There is mayhem. Absolute chaos. The Trio doesn't fight a lot-actually they apparate quite quickly. But we see others fighting the Death Eaters.Similar battle is happening as they reach the Burrow after the air sequence. The second time,though, the Death Eaters are not trying to attack from distance. Now they eventually break the protective sphere and wreak havoc.

    5.It's a very dark opening. There are 4 scenes but they don't know which is going to be the really first one: the Malfoy Manor meeting, Death Eaters invade Hogwarts,Hogsmeade,Diagon Alley and Knockturn Alley, Rufus Scrimgeour gathers all Aurors and ministry officials to talk about Voldemort's ascending and a long flashback of Dumbledore's death sequence.

    6. Why should I spoil this? I think I've said enough about some additional scenes.


    BRAVEHEART,

    Greyback doesn't only attack Katie Bell actually. You'll see more characters in danger as well as Bill Weasley and Ginny.
    Yes Nagini does 'finish' Snape. Won't say anything else. This is turning out to be the best moment of the series.
    Voldemort plays a lot. And yes he has a few more scenes than in the book. Especially in Part One. Snape plays a lot more, too because we see more scenes at Hogwarts in Part One.
    The cafe attack is really fast-paced and intense. I think you'll like it.
    There is a scene where Regulus and Kreacher go to the crystal island to get the Locket. The inferi are featured there. There are thoughts of adding them to the Battle but it's unlikely.
    There are scenes at Hogwarts that are completely new. I'll just mention that we'll see the Death Eaters patrolling around Hogwarts, the new D.A. making its plans and Snape moments that you'll enjoy.
    The Seven Potters battle will be quite amazing. We will see Moody falling but there's so much chaos that there is no time to think about it. The realisation comes afterwards.
    They're in negotiations about the score but I'm pretty sure they've already decided.


    Tom,
    the Godric's Hollow sequence is going to be really amazing actually. Do you really want to spoil yourself?


    Well I have worked on Godric's Hollow construction in the art department and I can tell you some more details about it, if you want.

    Death Eaters atacking Knockturn Alley? It looks HBP...

    Do you think that the end of DH1 is good?
    Tonks appears more than HBP? And Luna? And Greyback?
    There are some scene where Death Eaters atacking muggles?

    Sorry for my bad English.
  12.  
    Sorry about asking another question...

    Will Wormtail's death be the same as it is in the book? And will Dobby's be the same?

    Thanks
  13.  
    Sopho,

    Death Eaters attack Muggles in Part 1.

    The end of DH1 may change. There are two possibilities: the Snatchers capture the Trio and take them to Malfoy Manor or the Trio apparates to Sheel Cottage right after Dobby's death. The first is more possible though. I think it has a nice climax. Actually some people may get angry because of the many new battle sequences but the entire film will have multiple 'climaxes' let's say. There are very few calm moments and these moments are full of emotions and loneliness. 80% is this ultimate sense of danger and this endless chase in various places.

    Yes Tonks appears more. Luna has few scenes at the Burrow and at Hogwarts but she has more scenes than in the book. Greyback is an important character in both films. So no worries.




    Braveheart,

    both deaths happen the same way. Wormtails' death is shocking and creepy. Dobby has a few more scenes in Pt.1 (at the Burrow and another time while Harry is into the wild) and all his scenes are very cute. He is very lovable and nice and that's why his death will be really sad. That's the main reason they think about putting his death in the finale of Pt.1. They want to keep all his scenes in one film and not put his death to the opening of Pt.2 because the audience may not feel as sad as they should.

    Thanks a lot about the information)) how much screen time has Bella Lestrange? More then in HBP?) once again, thanks)
  15.  
    Bellatrix has more screen time than in the first half of the book but it's equal to her screentime in HBP. It depends, though. if they eventually add the Malfoy Manor sequence in Pt1 then she will have much more screentime because it's a huge scene and she has a really big part in it.
  16.  
    Has Greyback's appearance been made more animalistic?
    Is Serra giving the movie a harsher more gritty feel?

    Thank you!

    Three more question.

    Rita Skeeter is in the first film? I suppose that she will be in the Ministry during Scrimgoeur Speech.

    Who's in the scene of the 7 Potter?

    The snatchers are scary?
  18.  
    Thanks for answering my questions but can you answer the last one?Do you have any extracts of the script?Oh and can you releave us what concept art will you give at christmas?
  19.  
    This movie sound amazing.

    Just a few things, dream.

    1. Is Geroge Harris, aka Kingley, in the film?

    2. Is the Prince's Tale in the movie like 100% like the book? Did they even film that yet?

    3. Does Ginny get alot of screentime in DH 1 or 2? And have you seen any H/G kisses yet? I was kind of let down by the one on HBP, but DH had a great kiss in the book.

    4. And finally, how is Siruis' mirror introduced into the film? And do they leave Kreacher+Siruis' house in his will?
  20.  
    I would like to know how Bill/Fleur relantionship will be introduced in Part 1 . And about the first Harry scene in his room, can u describe a little about what Harry will do in his room, when Sirius Mirror will be introduced and about the 7 potters, Will we see Hedwiges death in the movie?

    I'm asking that cause in the stunts pictures, we didn't see the cage, so just aking about it.
    And really sorry about my english, I'm brazilian and, true or fake, I believe in you .
  21.  
    hi, thank you for all these answers.

    Is the flashback of dumbledore 's death a new material or is the same we saw in HBP?

    do you which scenes about dumbledore and snape we will see in part two?

    do you know if the scene with harry and mcgonagall in ravenclaw tower is in the second film? i loved that part of the book.

    will we see more mcgonagall?¿?
  22.  
    -Greyback is actually the same he was in HBP. He has more 'brutal' scenes especially in the Battle of Hogwarts.
    -Eduardo Serra's work is absolutely AMAZING. Have you seen his work on Wings of a Dove and Blood Diamond? Imagine these amazing differences in the colours of each scene. DH1 is extremely dark and gritty but there are many moments where it's extremely artsy and stylish. You will be dazzled.
    -Rita Skeeter plays mostly in Part 1. Her role in Part 2 is very small.
    -The 7 Potters have lots of characters: Harry,Ron,Hermione,Lupin,Tonks,Moody,Bill,Fleur,Mandungus,Arthur,Fred,Hagrid and George. Of course Voldemort,Lucius,Bellatrix,Greyback,Yaxley and other DEs.
    -The Snatchers are violent. You will like them.
    -Yes Kingsley is back. No worries.
    -They are to shoot Snape's memories. I won't say anything but imagine the combination of the extraordinary special effects of the memories in HBP along with the extremely dark,ominous and emotional story that unfolds Snape's true identity. It's going to be an amazing sequence.
    -Ginny doesn't play a lot in DH1 because it's more about the Trio traveling and hiding and fighting but yes she has a decent amount of screentime.
    -Sirius' mirror will be introduced very early in the film. I won't say much because I'll spoil it but it has to do with Grimmauld Place. I won't say anything else. You can guess though.

    Chris,
    I will post an artwork pic of Godric's Hollow and maybe Malfoy Manor. But you know, I'll try to hide as much as possible. It's risky.
  23.  
    could you answer my questions-, please? thank you so much
  24.  
    The flashback with Dumbledore will be a combination of the Cave/Astronomy Tower/Snape's flight scenes. It's one of the nightmares that Harry has throughout the first film.

    There are enough scenes with Snape and Dumbledore in Pt.2. No worries. Just not much stuff with Lily. There are fewer but really to-the-point scenes.

    McGonagall has a lot of screentime. Don't worry guys. There are two films. Everyone gets the screentime they deserve.

    Thiego,
    the scenes in Harry's bedroom are very small. Harry wakes from a terrible nightmare and we see the Daily Prophet. He checks his things and he sees dark figures in Privet Drive and clouds gathering in the sky. The foreboding is EVERYWHERE in the first part. And it foreshadows the battle in the air that is about to come.
  25.  
    just one last thing, could you tell us about the scenes betwen young dumbledore and gindewald? how is going to be the history of dumbledore in the film, flashbaks???

    thank you

    What is this first scene of the DE invading Hogwarts that you speak of? Do they attack early in the film too?

    Thanks for all the info by the way.
  27.  
    Gellert's scenes are very short and there are pictures in the Daily Prophet and in Skeeter's book. There are very very few and short flashbacks but we see much more of him as an old wizard who faces Voldemort. Voldemort is chasing him throughout various places.Voldemort's journey is longer in Pt.1.
    Harry is in denial. He doesn't believe a thing about Dumbledore in the beginning but later he is extremely frustrated. His scene with Dumbledore in the end of Part 2 will be one of the most emotional ones (along with Snape's memories,death and Harry's walk to Voldemort).
    Oh, the scene with Aberforth has been filmed and is very very powerful. The story with Arriana is touching. There is not as much as in the book but it's enough for the film.
  28.  
    And about Harry/Ginny kiss? Is it better than HBP?
  29.  
    Guys I need to sleep.


    Well braveheart,
    there is a scene where the Death Eaters fly over Hogwarts and invade the castle and patrol the grounds and walls. Snape watches the Dementors flying in the sky surrounding the mountains. It's a beautiful sequence in the script. There are many rumors that Kloves will change parts of the DH1 opening (to open immediately with Voldemort's scenes) but this scene is the second scene of the script right now.
  30.  
    I don't want to disappoint you, Thiego, but it's similar to the HBP kiss. It lasts a little longer but that's it. Though,they kiss properly in Part 2's finale.

    dream,

    Please one more question:

    Can you tell us about the further development of Ron and Hermione's relationship? Will we get to seem them acknowledging their feelings about each other, or show that they are moving past keeping each other at arm's distance?

    Sorry, hopeless romantic here and I love their relationship.

    Oh, and THANK YOU for all the info!
  32.  
    When you back tomorrow, Yates gave a interview yesterday about a scene that envolve a dance between Harry and Hermione. Can you tell us when this scene happens, he told the it was his favorite scene of part 1 , I'm very curious about that btw.

    Another thing, did we see Mundungus in Grimmauld Place?
  33.  
    Well there is a lot of build-up. From the very beginning, Ron is overprotective during the 7 Potters sequence. There are moments between the two of them but Ron is really jealous afterwards. When they reunite, Hermione is angry towards him and she eventually cries and falls on a chair and he comes and reluctantly hugs her. Then there are some short moments (when the Snatchers capture them and especially when Bellatrix tortures her) and there are tender moments at Shell Cottage where Ron is really taking care of her. Their kiss takes place in the Chamber of Secrets (much changed set).
  34.  
    Thiego, I'll answer your questions and I'll leave. Sorry.

    Mundungus...Yes and no. Well, there is a brand new sequence at Knockturn Alley where Kreacher finds him.I won't say more though.

    The dance scene is a cute moment. It happens before the Godric's Hollow moments. Both Harry and Hermione are devastated and they don't talk to each other. harry is thoughtful, Hermione cries or sits alone in the countryside and at the same time, we see Death Eaters following them. During these moments we see lots of Voldemort's quest and Hogwarts scenes. After some time, they are together and Harry tries to cheer her up and they have a quick dance (it's not a dance actually. Just few moves and turns and they laugh and talk about Ron).
    Hermione doesn't dance with Harry at the wedding. Actually Harry comes late and when he comes, very few minutes later, the DEs attack.


    That's all for today. I'm going to sleep.
    Bye. :)

    I'm under the impression all this is fake.
    You said the dance-scene happens before Godric's Hollow moments just because Snitchseeker wrote in their news: "After Ron leaves".
  36.  
    Thats when Ron leaves. He leaves, and they decide to go to Gordric's Hollow 'cause Harry heard of a person who knew his parents.

    And most if not all of the stuff he mentioned has mostly been true to whats been going on.
  37.  
    Um no.

    After the Godric's Hollow scenes there are extremely few scenes before the Silver Doe sequence.
    And I think it's logical that this scene happens after Ron's leaving. It's Harry's way to cheer Hermione up. And that is the moment they first talk about Ron.

    Anyway, if you don't believe me it's perfectly alright. I haven't given any proof so it's completely OK. I just wanted to inform you.
    That's all.

    Goodnight you all.

    We don't, but the sheer amount of detail in his/her descriptions says it's more than just some 'fly by night' person who types a post full of stuff, but is making it up. There's no contradictions in this person's story, either he/she has WAY TOO MUCH TIME on his/her hands, or he's/she's legitimately telling the truth. And quite frankly, there's been those people who pop up saying stuff posing it as real info and shortly disappear, but the detail here is incredible. It's too much for any person to just make up, even trolls with no life would put this amount of effort in this.

    Some pick-up scenes were filmed today according to SCOOP the insider.


    Quote:
    i arrived on set, again everyones phones were confiscated.

    The biggest sound stage had been transformed over the weekend into the cave set for the climax of the film.

    There was a huge rocky wall with a crevase sticking out into the lake. There was a small boat docked into the rocks and on the raised rocks there was a stalegtite with a font sticking out from it. There was a greenish glow coming from the bowl.

    The scene was shot on a crane camera and showed Dumbledore drinking water from the font! He was screaming 'Kill me' and 'no More' but Harry just kept feeding him the water. Then they cut and did another set up.

    They got massive wind machines and blasted Harry. Dumbledore was slumped against the font and Harry was firing spells from his wand. It kind of reminded me of when they were filming the veil for film5. The camera was zooming in and out and craning everywere. Then Harry picked him up and Dumbledore was leaning on Harry. Most of the dialogue was inaudible because of the wind machines.

    On another stage in the afternoon Jim Broadbent was kitted up in a fez and jacket for a scene with the actor playing the young Tom riddle. They were discussing Horcruxes.

    Slughorn had big rosy cheeks and his big warus moustach and he was eating sweets that Tom had brought him from a little tin.

    Tom Riddle was saying he'd been reading a book from the restricted section of the school library. Slughorn was saying that he was 'clever than most of the staff in the school'
    Then Tom mentioned Horcruxes and Slughorn looked flustered and angry and chased him away. It was a nice little scene and Jim broadbent really captured what Slughorn should be. Hes got a girly little giggle.

    Brilliant days shooting.


    And some follow ups to questions on HarryPotterForum.com

    Dumbledores clothes are very different to his usual clothes. They are whiter and he kind of reminded me of saruman from Lord of the rings. David Yates was saying that he wanted Dumbledore to be very vulnerable and the one way to do that visually was to have him in pyjama's almost. Im assuming this was Dumbledores nightware,

    Tom Riddle was great
    ...

    No hat for dumbledore. Bellatrix's hair is flatter.


    I'd post a link but it's to another forum which isn't allowed here.


    ETA: And more from SCOOP

    Belatrix looks more refind. Like shes had to time to groom herself somewhat and scrape back some of her former beauty. Her hair was less wild and she looked 'cleaner'. it was stilly curly and there was a patch of grey near roots.

    The scene with Dumbledore and Harry in the cave was intense. Michael Gambon was 'amazing', His best performance yet. Dan looked truely terrified. I saw some concept art for the inferi and they looks truely scary. David Yates was saying that they would motion capture the inferi later.

    Of the cave David said he wanted it to be hostile and dangerous, waves crashing against the rocks etc etc.

    If youre trying to picture Slughorn imagine an older version of his character 'Zidler' from Moulin Rouge' Less hair, Bigger white moustache etc.

    The call sheet for tommorow has Jessie Cave (Lavender) Rupert (Ron) and Emma (Hermione) so im assuming its some lovvie dovey stuff in the morning and then Dame Maggie Smith is on set later that day in Dumbledores office!

    Imelda Staunton was apparently in the studios over the weekend filming something else but popped on stage to see the action. One of the girls on the crew said that David told her he is planning a massive wand battle for her for film 7!


    Is this enough of a sheer amount of detail to prove this is not fake? Cause it was.

    Yeah... those quotes don't go near as deep into detail as dream_silently has here.
  44.  
    1) how's the moment when Neville kills Nagini?

    2) how's the Molly and Bellatrix fight?

    3) does Hermione see anything evil when she tries to destroy the cup like Ron does with the locket?

    5) does Greyback give Bill Weasley his scars? You mentioned he might attack Katie Bell and Ginny too? When?

    thanks for answering these.

    hi,

    wow, this is a lot of information. i was wondering about some casting, though. you mentioned above that older grindelwald is going to see voldemort (i guess like the book). do you know who's playing him, and have they shot that scene already? thank you. :)

    Dream-Silently

    Can you tell us about the creatures in the battle of Hogwarts? Have they been making spiders, house elfs, and giants etc?

    Also what do you know about the final scene of part 2? I heard it has been extended

    How graphic is the torture scene with Hermione.? does Bellatrix pull her hair and drag her around?

    Hi dream_silently, you said we see more of McGonagall. Does this include scenes from the book where she battles with Snape and then again with Voldemort? Does Slughorn battle Voldemort alongside her also?

    Hey, dream_silently. First of all many many many THANKS for all of the info you've given us. It's extremely great stuff and has me so excited for the films. I do have a couple of questions:

    -This may have been asked but can you give us details on the epilogue scene? There was a report that it was modified and was a bit of a montage of clips of the characters in 19 years time (similar to LOTR) including the new students arriving at Hogwarts, the families at the Burrow and a few other things. Is there any truth to this?

    -Can you tell us anything you know about the final showdown with Harry and Tom Riddle? Is it alot bigger and flashier than in the books? Is it longer or shorter?

    -Do you know what old characters are going to be returning

    Hello dream_silently. If what you are saying is true, I must send you compliments. Now , my questions :

    1.Nobody asked you about Bathlida Bagshot. So I do it - how this scene looks like?
    2.There are a youngest versions of Snape/Lily/ Petunia in the Part 2 in flashbacks?
    3. When we first see Dobby - how they introduce him (is it mention abou his kitchen work)?
    4. When they are going to say anything about the Hallows and the famous logo for the first time ?
    5. Are they planning a crowd of house elfs in the battle in Part 2?

    Ok, thats it, I hope you answer me,
    Thanks for your other responses :)

    1. The Neville VS Nagini scene hasn't been filmed yet. But the artwork is jaw-dropping. Every moment in Part 2 finale will be brilliant. Trust me.
    They do as much as possible. They want to give the series a proper-epic-climax.

    2. The fight between Bellatrix and Molly is...different. Not much different but it happens in a different set. Molly shows her real powers and, I've got to tell you, Bella's death is sad. The way she collapses and Voldemort flies and screams and blasts almost everything will be epic.

    3.That's a really unpredictable and smart question. Yes she does. And it's a moment that all Ron/Hermione fans will love. Do you really want to be spoiled?

    4.Yes Greyback truly attacks Bill in the first battle sequences of Part One. He also fights Lupin-twice-, threatens Tonks and attacks Katie Bell and Ginny. Some scenes are at the Burrow attack but most of it happens during the Hogwarts battle. Oh, and don't worry about Molly's fury towards Bellatrix in the end of Part 2. Bellatrix is not a really pleasant character. She does A LOT to the Weasleys and to Fleur (not to mention that she kills Tonks, who is like Molly's daughter in the films).



    Avangelis,

    -Well, don't expect too many creatures actually. It's 90% a wizards battle. And that's what they're aiming.

    -Not really. It's slightly different but it has this nostalgic feel. It happens at King's Cross as in the book. It finishes though with the train approaching Hogwarts. And we see the Castle at the sunset in its old beauty (because the battle has damaged half of it before). It's a similar shot of the first scene we see the castle in the 'Philosopher's Stone'. It is more majestic though. The artwork is beautiful.

    -The torture scene is quite shocking. I think you'll love it. Bellatrix does slightly a bit more to Hermione.In addition to this, Draco is shocked and hides in the shadows. He is disgusted. It's a very sad moment of Draco Malfoy who keeps showing his vulnerable side in both parts. Even Narcissa and Lucius are slightly shocked. Ron sheds tears and shouts desperately. There are two brilliant tender scenes at the Shell Cottage where Hermione breaks down in Ron's arms at the beach and later, Ron takes care of her inside the house. In the end, when the Trio discusses the Gringotts break-in Ron tells her that she is too weak to participate in this dangerous mission.

    Electrix,
    There are few scenes with her in Part 1. In Part 2, yes she does confront Snape and she is absolutely breathtaking in some scenes where she fights MANY Death Eaters.

    Slughorn doesn't fight that much but there is a really emotional scene with him and Harry before the battle.


    Leo,

    -Well the Epilogue is at King's Cross. It ends with the train traveling through Scotland and reaching Hogwarts. It's a truly beautiful scene. It's sunset and we will see some amazing aerial shots of the castle and its grounds. It's quite similar to Half-Blood Prince's final scene concerning the sky's colours and the peaceful atmosphere.

    -I don't know if fans will like it because it's a much longer fight. The Great Hall is completely smashed and there is no ceiling-just ruins. We see all the towers surrounding them and the dark red sun is rising behind the gigantic black and grey clouds (because of the fire and the ashes and the storm). It's going to be epic. Harry and Voldemort exchange more spells. They collide or are blocked from protective spheres. The final moment is so intense that everyone goes away because of how fierce the confrontation is. I think you'll love it. But maybe not. Imagine the Great Hall set without the tables, without the ceiling, without half its walls and all its windows completely smashed. All the ruins are on the floor and we see the deep red/black-grey cloudy sky over Voldemort and Harry and all the half destroyed towers and bridges surrounding them. I think it's a great improvement.

    -Well, lots of characters return! The Dursleys, Moody, Kingsley, Umbridge, Oliver Wood, Angelina Johnson, Dobby, Kreacher, Lucius, Ollivanders, Fleur, Viktor Krum, Madam Maxime, Sirius and Harry's parents, Dumbledore, Voldemort (obviously), Rita Skeeter etc. Almost everyone returns.
