Harry Potter - Half Blood Prince movie discussion #26 (Trailers Inside!) - Page 5

I've been looking at other places and it seems there's a consensus that the Burrow attack scene is edited down. There just seems to be a lot missing involving Harry following Bellatrix and Ginny being stalked by Greyback. Plus, Lupin, Tonks and Arthur appear from nowhere.

My belief is that WB only wanted a small amount to be shown so they edited it down to the start of the attack and a little bit of action to fit about a minute and a half. I won't be mad if that is the final scene that's in the movie, because it is pretty amazing. Just wanted to get some opinions on the matter.

I figured it was edited down. Though just seeing what we got of it looks awesome. A lot of people on IMDb are loving it.

The clips are on Youtube now:

You and me both

I got to say I love both, but I love the burrow attack more, love the h&g parts especially when Harry grabs Ginny close to him when they are all fighting, so cute

Can't wait for the film.

Rickylious · 07-01-2009, 03:20 PM

The burrow attack sneak peek has got me more hyped up for the movie too.

Kgose · 07-01-2009, 03:36 PM

I can't stop watching it.

Bella Grint · 07-01-2009, 03:49 PM

Wait the Burrow scene might be the last scene of the movie itself?

I don't think I really care if the scene is edited down. I wasn't so happy when it was added in the first place but now I am interested to see how it'll play out after we've gotten the online version.

The Burrow scene is somewhere in the middle of the film.

Bella Grint · 07-01-2009, 04:11 PM

Oh wait I think I confused someone's post. I was about to say..I hope they wouldn't put the Burrow scene at the end of the entire movie

not looking forward to that scene mostly because RIP Burrow

TWIST exclusive: Countdown to Harry Potter!

Hey TWIST gals!

We're just weeks away from Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince finally hitting theaters (July 15!)! And for the next two weeks, TWIST will give you all the deets about the new flick!

Here's your first HP fact:
Get ready for loads of love in this movie! Director David Yates revealed that there's "more romance to the films than we've ever seen before!" And we're just dying to see the smooch between Daniel Radcliffe and Bonnie Wright (she play's Ginny Weasley!).

When TWIST was on set in London, England, we had to the get the scoop right from Bonnie! "It was slightly embarrassing because on set everyone knew that it was the day when we'd kiss," she spilled to us. "It was definitely a case of 'pass the mints!'" Aww, too cute!

Let's talk, TWIST girls! Who is your fave HP couple? Leave your vote in the comments!

XOXO,
TWIST intern
Rupal

P.S. Don't miss our new issue hitting stands THIS weekend! We have a whole in-depth report from our Harry Potter set visit! And Daniel totally kisses and tells, and TWIST has the deets from him, too!

and LA Times blog interviews Rupert:

Quote:

Today on the countdown to the July 15 release of "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" we bring you a doozy: An exclusive interview with Rupert Grint from the Hero Complex visit to the film set in Watford, England. Still to come this week: New interviews with the rest of the magical trio, Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson.

Rupert Grint may walk on red carpets but with his glum smile and complete lack of pretension he seems as unaffected as the pub regulars enjoying afternoon beers back in his home village of Watton-at-Stone.

Grint will be just 21 next month, but he seems older around the eyes and, like his character Ron Weasley, he doesn’t seem as driven as the other two members of his famous trio. Daniel Radcliffe wants to be the Laurence Olivier of his generation, and Emma Watson is sorting through a handful of career options, but Grint, well, he seems to be meeting the future with a good-natured shrug.

“I was thinking about what it’s going to be like when we’re done, after the last movie,” Grint said. “It is going to be really weird, actually. At the moment it seems quite far away. I don’t know what I’m going to do, really. I’m going to miss it, I think, because it’s been my whole life for a long time. I really enjoy it as well, every year we’ve come back and done it. All of this, this is what I know..."

Grint was sitting in his hushed dressing room at the cavernous “Harry Potter” set outside London, which has a pingpong table, a miniature billiards table, a huge television, a dart board and a giant cardboard cutout of his character. It’s a dorm room for a fellow who never had any interest in college (unlike costar Watson, who had her choice of universities) and only adds to the sense that Grint is a lucky and carefree passenger on the “Potter” express.

Guys I just posted this over at BWO.

Quote:

Thanks to Red for letting us know that some very short behind the scenes from the HBP set was shown on E! News tonight! It included footage of the kids in the Great Hall before the Quidditch match!

It’s repeated at 11:30PM EST, and 3:30AM EST, as well as noon tomorrow. It might be worth watching out for the Daily 10 as they might have included additional footage, which usually happens with the two shows.

If anyone is able to capture this footage then please email us!

Kgose · 07-01-2009, 05:24 PM

Thanks for that Fez!!!

Rickylious · 07-01-2009, 05:25 PM

Thanks for the info guys.

MischiefManaged1980 · 07-01-2009, 05:31 PM

Oh yeah there's definitley more to that burrow scene. They were just giving us a taste, and I love what I see! WOOOO!

I won't be upset either if that's the scene that's in the movie, but if given a choice, I'd prefer the unedited version. I rather missed Greyback's "You smell clean," because it seemed so utterly creepy and perfect in the script. It would be a shame to lose that. But I'm not unhappy with the scene the way it was shown here.
