WHAT'S WITH HIM PULLING VOLDY OFF A CLIFF THING?! FOR SERIOUS WHAT?! :blink: :blink: :blink:

^It's been way too long since I've read the book, but my guess is that Harry's pulling him down for that final confrontation after battling in the castle for a bit. Don't take my word on it though.

But the final confrontation is in the Great Hall! My geography is shaky at times but I'm sure the Great Hall is not down some bottomless pit :unsure: I need to watch the movie now just to find out what the [bleep] they've done.

Didn't the confrontation start outside?

Outside on the grass in front of the castle then it lead inside... this random falling is driving me crazy D=

Yeah there definitely was no "z0mg let's pull Voldy off a cliff" part in the book :XD:

I hope they don't change it too much..They kept pretty true in part 1 'cept for little bits here and there.

Harry Potter's finally coming to an end, I'm graduating university in two weeks. I think it's a sign it's it's time for me to grow up. :(

No. Never. HARRY POTTER WILL NEVER DIE.

I was also very suprised to see that, WHAT I DON'T REMEMBER THAT.... AND THAT.... WHAT!

 

I hope atleast they don't mess up with the Serious Snape part!

I, too, am terribly, terribly confused about the Harry/Voldemort scene.

 

So far (knock on wood) this looks like the most disappointing part of the movie.

 

Eight movies later and they still haven't learned that you DON'T ADD RANDOM STUFF THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN IN THE BOOKS. You can elect to not include trivial details or scenes, but please please please don't try to rewrite original material. I understand that it was likely done to try to make the film more dramatic... but really... it's cover-to-cover 739 pages of nonstop action. It's times like these that have you wonder why J. K. Rowling gives her approval on the films.

 

Can you imagine how shocking it will be to have Harry fall off of a bridge/battlement, and then suddenly appear on screen... surrounded by mist... quite dead and quite nude?

Meh, in a way I can understand why they do it, after all not everyone going to the movie has read the books. Probably the filmmaker's way of saying "GUYS THIS IS THE BIG FIGHT!", since you don't have all the narration you have in the books on a movie screen. Anyway, as long as the movie's good, which judging from the trailer, could very well be the case, I don't mind. The only thing I really minded regarding things being added was the stupid-ass scene in Half-Blood Prince where they get attacked when they're at the Shire.

I agree. It looks like they jump off the top of the castle or something.

You know how they have that courtyard thingy in the movie version of Hogwarts? It looks like they're falling from the clock tower to that place. Which is where the final confrontation will take place instead of the Great Hall. Big whoop. It's the same general idea.

 

Looks awesome.

Agreed with many above. I have no clue where they got that from.

Meh. These films (since the second) have been so far from the book that I can't imagine how anyone who hasn't read the books can actually understand what's going on. That said, hp7 part one was a bit better so I'm looking forward to this one anyway.

Well, what I found for a lot of them is that they seemed a bit rushed. Especially the 5th film. They didn't even show the Quidditch match at the beginning. It's probably due to time constraints, but still... I guess it gave HP7 part one a bit more room for error in the time department since they split it into two parts.

Coming from someone who has just started watching and reading the books, I can understand where things come from when felt rushed. I have enjoy all the movies so far except the latter ones (not 7p1, sooooo good) just because I'm like "wait, what just happened?" That's probably because of lack of character developement that the movies have had to portray due to time restraints. The books offer so much more in that case and I can see why there is a rage when it came to the movies. Oh well, I still have liked them all and I can't wait for the last part to come out in the summer. :)

Going to go see it in about 10 hours, exciting :thumbsup:

 

EDIT: Just got back, good stuff. Some bits were a bit too corny for my liking, but overall I'm happy with it!

Elighten us on the Voldy and Potty going mouldy and shoddy down the crumbled tower of doom.

 

Yes, I made it sound like Peeves. I should've done it in capital letters.

 

EDIT: feel free to add in spoiler tags, I don't mind spoiled movies.

I'll see if I can watch it Friday.

For those of you (like me) who don't mind spoilers, like watching trailers and love watching interviews of the cast, etc., I would like to point out that Trailer Addict has EVERYTHING you'd love to see here: http://www.traileraddict.com/tags/harry-potter-and-deathly-hallows-part-ii

 

Oh -- and as of the time of this posting, Rotten Tomatoes has rated Part 2 at 95%.

I am thinking of trying to get into a midnight showing tomorrow night.

My friend's dad works at a movie theater so me, my friend, and his brother get to see the movie early tomorrow. Not a midnight release, but at 7 PM, 5 hours before pretty much everyone else in the US.

 

Normally I could care less about the movies (The books are at least 18x better), but this being an early screening of the last movie, I'm wicked excited.

29 more hours until I'm in the theatres for a midnight release! I've only watched the two trailers as I want to be spoiled as little as possible, then as soon as I've seen the movie I'm going to watch every interview/all the clips. :P

Gonna try and see the midnight release of it. :thumbup:
