Предварительный показ ГПиПП
Один из читателей TLC побывал на предварительном показе 6-го фильма в Чикаго и поделился своими впечатлениями о нем. К сожалению, этот товарисч оказался шиппером гарриджинни, поэтому складывается впечатление, что Джинни в этом фильме будет в каждой бочке затычка
Про Снейпа он сказал только то, что он вместе с Минервой появится после Сектусемпры, вылечит Драко заклинанием, похожим на песню, и не будет использовать легилименцию.
Также он сказал, что снарри-сцена в конце идет пока что на синем фоне, она сделана близко к книге, хотя Снейп мог бы быть более сердитым, когда Гарри назвал его трусом. В конце Снейп говорит Гарри пару ласковых: "Пусть у вас глаза вашей матери, но вы такой же идиот, как ваш отец!"
Рассказ выложен за морем. Кто-нибудь может его перевести?
Today I got to see the test screening of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. It took place in Chicago at the AMC River East. It was a secret screening, no one in the audience was supposed to know before hand what they were seeing. I was one of only a small handful who already knew what we would be seeing, but I was sworn to secrecy. It was truly the hardest secret I ever had to keep.

It was not entirely complete, however aside from a few blue screens in the background, and one or two special effects missing, it was barely noticeable.

I am a huge fan of Ginny and Harry so I will start with them. There is a lot more Ginny than ever before. She nearly equaled Ron for screen time. We first see her at the Burrow when Harry arrives outside and the first thing he sees is her reading through the window. Harry Just stands there for a moment, gazing up at her. Although she is dating Dean Thomas she never looks happy with him, except when she is snogging him at The Three Broomsticks. She was on the Gryffindor Quidditch team. But the only game we saw was from the Felix Felicis chapter when Ron believes Harry has slipped him the potion. During Christmas at the Burrow, Ginny and Harry wind up on the stairs alone and start to lean into each other to kiss, when the attack on the Burrow interrupts them.

The Burrow does not burn down, but it is surrounded by a ring of fire conjured by Bellatrix. Harry, seeing Bellatrix, runs after her, and Ginny runs after him, right into Greyback. But Harry comes to the rescue and the two of them stand in a very high growing cornfield fending off attacks from the deatheaters. Lupin and Tonks come to the rescue, but that is I believe the last we see of them. There is no Tonks and Lupin relationship and although Tonks’ hair is brown there is no notice taken or any explanation given.

Tom Felton did a fantastic job in this film. Draco character remains true to the book, he even stamps on Harry’s nose. But, sadly, we never get the pleasure of seeing Crabb and Goyle disguised as girls. In fact, they are hardly in this movie. The Sectumsempra scene was really good, even without moaning Myrtle. As Harry and Draco throw spells at each other poor Nigel sits frozen on one of the toilets. Snape runs in shortly and McGonagall is in the doorway after Harry cast the spell (Draco never yells Crucio) and he does do a cure his wounds with a spell that sounds almost like song. But he does not use legilimency on Harry, who runs straight out of the bathroom to McGonagall. In the next scene Hermione and Ginny band together and tell Harry to hide the potions book so not even Harry can find it. Ginny takes Harry to the room of Requirement, and makes him close his eyes while she hides the book. Then she kisses him briefly. By the time he opens his eyes she has vanished.

There was definitely tension between Ron and Hermione. In the very beginning at the Burrow, Ron cleans off a bit of toothpaste from Hermione’s cheek. Later in Slughorn’s class she describes what she smells in the love potion and trails off with “spearmint toothpaste…” Lavender is quite nauseating and although she never gives Ron a necklace she does something equally as vomit worthy, steaming up a window on the Hogwarts Express with her breath and drawing a heart with “R + L” inside it. His relationship ends when he is unconscious and moaning Hermione’s name after being poisoned. He remains confused about why it ended but very relieved.

The kid who played young Tom Riddle was Brilliant. His voice and demeanor raised the hairs on the back of my neck. There is no mention of the Gaunts, but the scene in Slughorn’s office is there. Dumbledore however is truly surprised to learn that Riddle made 7 Horcruxes. It is in that scene that he realizes the ring is a Horcrux. He realizes what it was because when harry handles it briefly he moved his head like Voldemort.

We do get to hear Hagrid and Slughorn singing about Odo the Hero, and Harry is funny and a few lines where true to the book while under the influence of Felix Felicis. There is no Professor Trelawney, or the Dursleys. No Kreacher (no mention of inheriting Grimmauld Place whatsoever) or Dobby, or Bill and Fleur. There are no scenes with the Minister of Magic, and I don’t believe they even mentioned Fudge was sacked (though I may have missed it).

Oh and most sadly of all, no description from Luna about the dangers of the Rotfang Conspiracy. Nor does she commentate the Quidditch match. Luna’s role was very small, but she does have the lion hat and she is the one to find Harry on the train under the invisibility cloak with the help of her Spectrespecs.

Weasleys’ Wizard Wheezes was awesome!!! I only wish it were a real store. Unfortunately no U-No-Poo sign, but it was still a sight to see.

The scene with Harry and Snape at the end was the least finished of the movie; the background was mostly screens and lights and occasionally a sound persons head. It was very close to the book, though I thought Snape could have been stronger and angrier, when Harry called him a coward. His some of his last words to Harry are “You may have your mother’s eyes but you are as dim as your father!”

As a huge fan of the books I have found myself getting more and more disappointed by all the changes in the movies and especially in Michael Gambon’s portrayal of Dumbledore who is my favorite character. That being said I was really pleasantly surprised by this movie. Many of the changes were actually entertaining and Gambon has improved enough to be tolerable. It was so much better than Order of the Phoenix. Overall I really enjoyed this movie and can not wait to see it again.

"Сегодня я пошел на тестовый показ "ГПиПП". Он был в Чикаго, в кинотеатре AMC River East. Это был секретный показ, никто из зрителей не знал, на что именно идет смотреть. Я был из тех немногих, кто все знал, но с меня взяли клятву хранить все в тайне. Этот секрет, пожалуй, было хранить труднее всего.
Фильм еще не полностью закончен, но, не считая нескольких синих экранов и отсутствия пары спецэффектов, это трудно заметить.
Я большой фанат Джинни и Гарри, так что начну с них. Джинни в фильме намного больше, чем в предыдущих. У нее едва ли не столько же экранного времени, сколько у Рона. Впервые мы видим ее в Норе, когда Гарри подходит к дому, и первое, что он видит - как она читает у окна. Гарри стоит несколько секунд и смотрит на нее. Хотя она гуляет с Дином Томасом, она им не очень довольна, не считая того момента, когда она с ним обжимается в "Трех метлах". Она играла за квиддичную команду Гриффиндора. Но единственный матч, который мы видели - из главы "Феликс Феличис", когда Рон думал, что Гарри подлил ему зелье. Во время Рождества в Норе, Джинни и Гарри оказываются наедине на лестнице и наклоняются друг к другу, чтобы поцеловаться, но в это время на Нору нападают.
Нора не сгорает, но ее окружает кольцо огня, созданное Беллатрикс. Гарри, увидев Беллатрикс, бросается за ней, Джинни бежит за ним и натыкается прямо на Грейбэка. Но Гарри приходит на помощь, и они отбиваются от нападения УпСов в высоком кукурузном поле. Люпин и Тонкс спасают их, но больше, по-моему, мы их не увидим вообще. Между Люпином и Тонкс нет никаких отношений, и, хотя волосы Тонкс коричневые, это никак не объясняется.
Том Фелтон играет просто фантастически. Характер Драко полностью соответствует книге, он даже ломает Гарри нос. Но, к сожалению, мы не увидим Крэбба и Гойла, замаскированных под девочек. Их вообще почти в фильме нет. Сцена с Сектумсемпрой была хороша, даже без плаксы Миртл. Пока Гарри и Драко кидаются друг в друга заклинаниями, бедняга Найджел опять это чудо в пёрьях в ужасе сидит на одном из унитазов. Вскоре прибегает Снейп, а в дверях, когда Гарри использует Сектумсемпру, стоит Макгонагалл (Драко не кричит "Круцио"; Снейп залечивает раны Драко каким-то заклинанием, звучащим почти как песня. Но он не использует на Гарри легилименцию, и тот убегает к Макгонагалл. В следующей сцене Гермиона и Джинни вместе заставляют Гарри спрятать учебник по зельеделию так, чтобы его потом не смог найти даже сам Гарри. Джинни отводит Гарри в Выручай-комнату и заставляет его закрыть глаза, а сама прячет книгу. Затем она целует его. Когда Гарри открывает глаза, Джинни уже нет рядом.
Между Роном и Гермионой отношения явно напряжены. В самом начале фильма, в Норе, Рон снимает со щеки Гермионы кусочек зубной пасты. На уроке Слагхорна Гермиона описывает, какие запахи чувствует в Амортенции, и замолкает после слов "мятная зубная паста..." Лаванда весьма тошнотворна, и, хотя и не дарит Рону ожерелье (?), делает нечто не менее гадкое: дышит на окошко "Хогвартс-экспресса" и рисует сердечко с надписью "R+L". Их отношения заканчиваются, когда Рон после отравления, едва придя в сознание, произносит имя Гермионы. Сам Рон так и не понимает причину разрыва, но явно чувствует облегчение.
Мальчик, игравший молодого Тома Риддла, просто великолепен. От его голоса и поведения у меня просто волосы дыбом встали. Гонты не упоминаются, но сцена в кабинете Слагхорна присутствует. Дамблдор, однако, сильно удивлен, что Риддл сделал семь хоркруксов. Именно в этой сцене он понимает, что кольцо - хоркрукс. Он понял, что это, когда Гарри, ненадолго взяв его в руки, стал двигать головой, как Волдеморт.
Хагрид и Слагхорн пели про героя Одо, Гарри забавен; несколько фраз, которые он произнес после того, как выпил Феликс Феличис, даже на самом деле были в книге. Нет профессора Трелони, нет Дурслей. Нет Кричера (вообще не упоминается, кто унаследовал дом на площади Гриммо), Добби, Билла с Флер. Нет сцен с министром магии, вообще не упоминается, что Фадж был уволен (хотя, возможно, я что-то упустил).
Самое печальное: Луна не рассказывает о страшном заговоре Гнилых зубов. Еще хуже: она не комментирует квиддичный матч. Роль Луны вообще очень маленькая, но она носит шляпу со львом, и именно она нашла Гарри в поезде под мантией-невидимкой с помощью Спектральных очков.
Волшебный магазин Уизли великолепен! Хотелось бы настоящий такой магазин. К сожалению, на нем нет афиши "U-No-Poo", но все равно посмотреть стоит.
Сцена с Гарри и Снейпом в конце практически не закончена; на заднем плане в основном экраны и освещение. Она довольно близка к книге, хотя я думал, что Снейп мог бы и побольше разозлиться, когда Гарри назвал его трусом. Последние его слова, обращенные к Гарри: "У тебя, может быть, глаза твоей матери, но ты такой же тупой, как твой отец!"
Как большой поклонник книг, я все больше разочаровывался изменениями в фильмах, особенно тем, как Майкл Гэмбон играл Дамблдора, моего любимого персонажа. Тем не менее, фильм меня приятно удивил. Многие изменения были действительно хороши, а Гэмбон играл, по крайней мере, терпимо. Фильм намного лучше "Ордена Феникса". Он мне понравился, хочу снова сходить на него".

Jenni не поленилась и собрала все ответы на вопросы с форума TLC

The movie opens with a scene from OOTP, of Dumbledore and Harry at the ministry on the night Sirius dies, standing in front of a barrage of flash bulbs. Then it cuts to an interior shot of an ultra modern office building overlooking the Millenium Bridge. There are dementors flying through the air and then the bridge starts to wave violently and then collapses with lots of people on it.

In the next scene we see Harry reading about the bridge in the Daily Prophet at a tube-side coffee shop in Little Whinging. He flirts with the waitress and asks her what time she gets off work. But he is distracted by a passing train. When the train finally clears out, we see Dumbledore standing importantly on the platform. Harry joins him and immediately he is whisked away (side-along apparition) to Slughorn’s house.

Yes Harry and Ginny kiss. But not as a result of winning the quidditch house cup. That game is never played, only the one of Ron thinking he is on Felix Felisus is seen. And the kiss is very short and brief Ginny dissapears before Harry opens his eyes and it takes place in the room of requirement when he is hiding the potions book. Actually she hides it and makes him close his eyes so he won't know where it is then she kisses him and vanishes. We never see the tiara.

And despite what we thought we saw, the Burrow is not burned down or on fire. Bellatrix set a fire around it but the burrow is fine. Actually the attack at the Burrow interrupts Harry and Ginny as they are leaning in about to kiss...

Oh I should tell everyone for the record that I absolutely detest Michael Gambon as Dumbledore. So I am very biased against him, just so as you all know...

That being said Gambon did better than usual. I usually cringe when he is on the screen, but not so much this time. I shed no tears at Dumblerdores death. When I read the book for the first time I cried so much you would have thought I lost my grandfather. But no tears for the end of Gambon, but the scene itself was pretty good. Although it was not just like the book, Harry is not frozen he is watching through breaks in the wooden floor from below. It is hard to describe that scene but it there was a moment that made my heart tear slightly.

The editing was so much better than ootp. It was not, as my sister so brilliantly says, very "Staccato."

I don't remember any drawings, but I may have missed it. I forgot the actors name who played Young Riddle but he was truley brilliant. As a relation of Feines (sp?) he does look like him and his voice especially as a teenager raised the hair on the back of my neck.

There is no "I must not tell lies" scene with Scrimgeor (sp?) no new minister whatsover is mentioned as far as I can remember.

Harry is asked by Dumbledore to allow Slughon to aquire him. THe problem is that Slughorn is not interested for any particular reason. Yes the costuming was bad, as was the directing for him. But his lines were equally as unfitting. He should have boasted more, and been very comfortable and at home socializing. This Slughorn reminded me of a very rundown Joe Leiberman (I don't know why I picture him in comparison, I just do).

For what it was worth it was about 2 1/2 hours. Though we waited a long time for it to start, and I don't remember exactly what time it was when it finally did, then we filled out a survey. that may be interferring with my memory about the length of the film.

the Movie ends with the trio plus Ginny on top of the Astronomy tower talking and Harry saying he is going alone to find the Horcruxes. Hermione says something like, yeah right, you think your going alone? We are coming too. (major paraphrasing there) Then Ginny not saying a word sadly just walks away and leaves. She actually does not speak during the entire scene. Nor is she spoken to. She just listens looking sadder and increasingly heartbroken.

So when is Spinner's End if not before Budleigh Babberton?

It is right after harry arrives at the burrow. I personally did not like the person playing Narcissa, not what I pictured at all. Bellatrix was good but she did not question Snape's loyalty. A big mistake because I don't think many people were unsure of Snapes loyalty. The audience did not seem surprised when he killed dumbledore.

She runs on the table right after Dumbledore is killed. She is so excited, no euphoric and that is one of her ways of celebrating I suppose.

Harry and Ginny are hugging in greeting. Harry arrives unexpectedly at the Burrow. No one there knows he is going to come and stay. THey are all completely suprised. Although they scene is completely unfaithful to the book it is rather funny. Harry's trunk and Headwig suddenly appear and, oh it is a highly visual scene, can't explain it without it losing its humor.

I Personally think it is deplorable that the writers and directors of the HP movies thought it was necessary to change so much of the last few books when I believe part of the brillance of Rowling is how easy it is to form a clear picture in your head of the scenes she writes. I have always thought the movies, especially the last two did a terrible job mainly because of Gambon and also because of the diluted belief that people would not find a movie true to the book entertaining enough.

That said I was terrified that this movie would ruin the story, we all knew already how much was going to be invented. But this is the first time I think that their invented scenes actually worked (for the most part). I actually enjoyed watching it, I was honestly expecting to cringe throughout the movie like I have in the past.

So would I have prefered them to have been true to the book? Absolutely
But the previous movies have already ruined that possiblity. To much was changed and left out for them to start being faithful to the story now.
So that all things considered this was much better than I would have thought possible.

its the another day they go up there. Yes Harry chases snape, i think through the forest although that scene was mostly unfinished, mostly screens and lights and sound equipment in the backround

No DADA class at all. The only class we actually see is potions

The settings were eerily beautiful..it was so other-worldly.... man, i wish i was living in it!!!
Also , i must say... the background music was just amazing, very beautiful...i think the best so far!!!
I absolutely loved the way all of Ron & Hermione's romantic interludes and squirmishes were handled...they got some of the biggest laughs out of the audience... and talking abt laughs, this movie is definitely the funniest one so far..there were lots of humorous moments, and lots of inside jokes for those who have read the books!!! much much funnier than the Order of the Phoenix...

About Quidditch:

"quidditch - bloody brilliant!!! done in a never before seen sorta way, and it was pretty cool to see it in a snow & ice sorta setting "


Hermione showed big time jealousy! Emma Watson is excellent in these scenes. Hermione mentions asking McLagan out to make Ron jealous they do not show him being aware of their relationship on screen. The make up moment is sweet and touching but also kind of funny because Ron's in the infirmary and the R/L break-up and Hermione make-up is witnessed by their teachers.

...

Ron and Lavender snogged a bit, not full time though, like in the book!

WON WON was bleedin hilarious...!!! lavender got laughs every time she was on screen

nope, ron wasnt made out to be a jerk at all actually!! very toned down compared to the book!


What they said abput the setting is right, It is by far the most beautiful view of Hogwarts I have ever seen and completely different than previous movies. The views of the moutains are new and most of the outside lanscape has been made far more majestic and beautiful. Though some of it was blue screened. Enough was left the same for continuity sake but many of the scenes we are used to in the movies now look far closer to what I imagined while reading than the way they have in the past few movies. I think the Sectum Sempra scene was in Moaning Myrtles bathroom, but it was almost unrecognizable. In a good way. Whoever was in charge of the lighting for this film did a beyond superb job. It was not prepared for the beauty of this movie.

If memory serves be I don't think Hermione is at the Burrow during the attack. It was during Christmas and she was upset with Ron about Lavender during that time. Ron was not the focus of the attack on the Burrow Harry and Ginny were.

The first kiss of Lavender and Ron was witnessed by both Harry and Hermione. Harry watches with a stupid boyish grin and Hermione faces slowely turns from a smile to looking utterly heartbroken. She quietly turns away to leave, and just as she leaves Harry turns and notices. She is far less angry than she is just heartbroken. She does send the birds she conjures at Ron but she is not so much furious as she is crushed and hurt.

She does say to Harry later on in the movie when Lavender calls Ron "Won Won,"
"Excuse me while I vomit"

The scene opens with Ron staring lovingly at the moon from the boys' dormitory window (lol). Harry comes into the room and Ron tells Harry that he's in love. Harry sits on his bed and Ron climbs on right next to him (more lol) and the dialogue follows about the same from the book if I remember correctly. Harry says, "I thought you were getting tired of her" or something and Ron gets offended, Harry gets confused, thinks they're talking about Lavender but Ron says he's talking about Romilda Vane and asks to be introduced. Harry asks if Ron's eaten something, Harry sees the empty wrappers and box and puts two and two together and gets him to Slughorn's office. Harry asks Slughorn for the antidote, Slughorn lets them in, and he concocts the potion. At one point Ron comes from behind Slughorn and hugs him and so Harry sets him down on the couch (scene is shot with Harry and Slughorn infront, couch behind). Slughorn wonders why Harry couldn't just perform the potion himself but Harry says it's particularly strong and Slughorn agrees. Ron is acting goofy in the back, at one point he sits on the back seating of the couch and falls off! After they get Ron right, Slughorn pulls out a flasks, pours glasses, and they toast to their health. Ron of course slurps his down before the others and he immediately collapses. He starts going a bit gray, convulsing, foaming at the mouth a bit; Harry freaks out, tells Ron to breathe, yells at Slughorn to do something, Slughorn is too stunned to move so Harry hurries through his potion supplies, pulls out a bezoar (sp?) and pops it into his mouth. I forget the transitioning but we find Harry, Slughorn, Ginny, Hermione, and Ron at the infirmary wing.

This was such a good scene by the way, Ron was a laugh!

How did people react to Ron in particular?

Definitely laughing at Ron. He was hilarious under the love potion, very sensitive, very touchy to those close next to him! It was a well-done scene I thought.

Can you describe the hospital scene when he breaks up with Lavender?

Ron is lying unconscious on a bed with Ginny to the left and Hermione to the right. Harry and Slughorn are standing at the foot of the bed and Pomfrey enters to tend to him. McGonagall, Snape, and Dumbledore enters, inquires what happened. Slughorn said it was the meade which was gift and "actually it was a gift for you." Lavender bursts in, cries about her Won-Won, sees Hermione, is indignant and angrily wonders why she's there. Hermione retorts back and says she should be asking the same thing. Ron begins to startle and Lavender rushes to his side, holds his hand, and exclaim that he knows it's because she's there. Ron begins to mumble and eventually says, "Her-Mion-Ne." Lavender looks angry/hurt and runs out of the room and Hermione looks triumphant. Dumbledore comments something along the likes of, "Ah, the pangs of being a teenager in love." McGonagall gives a look, I think Snape rolls his eyes, lol. They start out of the infirmary wing and Harry is the last to leave, he looks back and Hermione is holding Ron's hand (still unconscious) and leaning over his bed. She looks up at Harry and says, "Oh, shut up."

I forget how this went in the book, but the next day Ron has no idea how he broke up with Lavender (although he's pleased) while she's giving him the stink eye at breakfast across the great hall, aha.

There is no battle in hogwarts like in the books. Bellatix and the others run through Hogwarts triumphantly and Hagrids house is set on fire. But no one but Harry takes any action and that is only on Snape as far as I can remember. Snape blocks all of Harry's curses.

For those asking about the bloodyness of the Sectum Sempra scene, it was not very bloody but many of the wounds on draco did not appear to be gushing. Before you all get upset, I think the extra blood is probably just a special effect not yet added. The scene implied much more blood than was seen. I am pretty sure this will be added in later.

There is really no implication that Ginny and Harry are dating, much to my dismay. It seemed much more that their feeling were both made very clear but no further action was taken. No implied stolen hours in secluded corners in the Hogwarts grounds.

ну кто у нас из любви к фандому все это переведет?=)

Похоже, сценаристы решили придумать для нас лишнюю снарри-сцену: Meanwhile under the floor Harry who is watching terrified with his wand at the ready is sneaked up on by Snape, whose wand is also out and puts his finger to his lips to make sure Harry stays quiet. (с) Jenni

Продолжение отчета.

I am so sorry everyone, in my haste to write my review I completely forgot the cave scene! So here it is-

Dumbledore meets Harry at the top of the Astronomy tower and they apparate to outside the cave. As they are leaving Harry is surprised that that they can apparate from within the Hogwarts grounds, and Dumbledore says something along the lines of “That’s the beauty of being headmaster.”

The scene they apparate to, despite being slightly unfinished was nonetheless absolutely breathtaking. Cliffs and huge waves dominate the scene. Dumbledore finds their way to the anti-chamber and slits his hand (for you star trek fans – he does it in a Klingon way – straight across the inside of his hand). The wall crumbles away and Dumbledore explains to Harry that Voldemort would have set up defenses around the Horcrux.

The cave is very different than what I had pictured and than all the fan art I have seen, but still a chilling and amazing sight. It reminded me a bit of a normal cave mixed with the ice crystal place Superman goes to in one of his movies. The whole cave is a vast formation of huge crystals, jagged and rough, jutting out from the ceiling walls and floor.

They make their way to the water and Dumbledore cautions Harry not to touch it and he starts to raise the boat with magic. Then he has Harry reel it in with a very heavy long chain.

The island is a formation of crystals as is the basin. Now the only really cheesy and unspectacular thing about this whole scene is that they use a large white clam shell partially imbedded in a small rock to scoop up the potion. In my opinion it looked rather silly. Dumbledore tell Harry to force him to drink the potion and Gambon once again does a slightly better than usual job being forced to drink the potion.

At one point towards the end you can very softly hear Dumbledore mumble something like “please don’t hurt them, it’s all my fault.” But it was almost inaudible and I doubt anyone who has not read the book caught the line at all. Then after the last scoop is drunk, Gambon kind of goes back to his rather poor, unresearched acting and says with far too much strength. “Harry, Water.”

But first Harry goes back to the Basin and recovers the locket and in the background we can hear Dumbledore saying “Harry, water” getting slightly weaker each time he says it. Harry attempts to fill the basin with water the aguamenti charm, but can not get the scoop the water up with that silly shell. After trying several times and Dumbledore starting to collapse he goes to the lake to fill it there.

Suddenly the light that was emanating from the island with the basin goes out, and Harry lights his wand (most unfortunately with the non-existent spell luminous-maximus, or whatever it was he used in the beginning of the third movie), and slowly reaches down to scoop up the lake water. The moment he touches it a hand reaches out and grabs Harry’s wrist. The whole audience jumped in fear. Harry tries to fend off the inferi with all the spells we hear him try in the books. But in the end he is pulled down into the water.

Before I go on I must say the Inferi scene was one of the most spectacular of this movie. They looked a bit like the newer version of the Dementor, but much more human shaped and brownish. I fear I am not describing them well, because they were truly a scary site to see. The camera angles captured the scene of Harry trying hopelessly to defend himself and Dumbledore from them as they clambered onto the island from all different angles and the sheer number of them eventually overwhelms Harry and he is pulled down deep into the lake.

While Harry is underwater the view we have is from below him looking up and we can see the whole island from below as well. Suddenly the Inferi holding Harry releases him and he swims up to a surface covered in ferocious flame. The “ring of fire” Dumbledore conjures is an unbelievable sight, far more than I think anyone pictured in the books, but incredibly spectacular. Harry and Dumbledore climb back in the boat and the scene then cuts to Harry helping Dumbledore through the cave.

The every so anticipated lines of (I am paraphrasing) “Don’t worry sir, I’ll get us back” and Dumbledore replying “I am not worried, I am with you” are said. Executed very well by Radcliffe though rather poorly in my opinion by Gambon who clearly does not know the significant emotional value we fans know those lines have.

They then apparate back to the top of the astronomy tower. There is no dark mark in the sky. But as Dumbledore says he needs Severus not Madame Pomfrey they hear a commotion and Dumbledore orders Harry to go and hide and not come out or interfere. A command the book Harry would never have followed, but that the movie Harry would obey. Harry goes underneath the wooden floor of the tower where Dumbledore is standing where he can see everything through large gaps between the wood slates. Draco arrives and Tom does a brilliant job as a boy trying to be fierce and terrified at the same time. Some lines from the book are rather butchered by Dumbledore saying things like “Draco, you are not an assassin.” Then the Death Eaters arrive all in masks except Bellatrix and Greyback. Bellatrix urges Draco to do it though his wand lowers slightly.

Meanwhile under the floor Harry who is watching terrified with his wand at the ready is sneaked up on by Snape, whose wand is also out and puts his finger to his lips to make sure Harry stays quiet. My description does not quite capture that scene well enough, but I was surprised to find my heart ripping, perhaps because I knew what was going to happen when Snape appeared there. Snape quietly appears above, and Dumbledore, with far too much strength says “Severus Please.”

And Snape does the Avada Kadavra, and Bellatrix is ecstatic. The scene with Dumbledore being lifted into the air was unfortunately unfinished because we see him up in the air and then apparently falling down the side of the tower, but there was no motion yet. He is stationary in both scenes. I am sure more special effects will be added later. Then Bellatrix casts the Dark Mark (another amazing updated special effect with a black smoke skull and snake tongue). The Deatheaters all run out, destroying a bit of the castle in a euphoric tantrum along the way. There is no battle inside Hogwarts and the only one to chase them is Harry.

There was no Amycus or Alecto anywhere I could see. Oh, and there is no Rosmerta either. Forgot to mention that before.

Anyway, the Deatheaters set Hagrid’s hut on fire and the scene I already described happens between Harry and Snape. Harry then returns to find the whole school gathered around Dumbledore’s body, McGonagall in the front completely stunned and silent. Harry kneels down at Dumbledore’s side, brushes a hair out of his face and finds the locket, but does not open it. Clutching the locket He starts to cry and Ginny goes and holds him also crying. Then following McGonagall’s lead, everyone lights there wand (I think they all murmur something in unison but I can’t remember what) and slowly raise them as one in the air. Final shot of that scene is from above with all the lighted wands surrounding the tower, Dumbledore, Harry and Ginny.
