HBP Possible Spoilers..a whole new scene?

[charma_10]

There has been some pretty massive 'news' over on the imdb boards from Pheonix123, a stunt double on the movies. I am in two minds about this. He was completely legit before OotP came out, giving us parts of the script that turned up in the movie. Now though, he is saying:

A whole new action sequence has been added which involves the Death-Eaters (including Bellatrix) attacking The Burrow which results in The Burrow catching fire and being destroyed. There is then a fight in the reeds which surround The Burrow.

Now this could be plausible, as it does open up an opportunity to get everyone to Grimmauld Place and Harry can find the mirror and locket and all that jazz. But seriously? Why the FUCK would they destroy The Burrow. There is no way JKR agreed to that and I think even though she doesn't have much input she might have chucked a shit at that. I know I am.

There are also some script snippets...

RON
C'mon, Harry. We've got a game to
win.

CLOSE UP - QUAFFLE, as it ROCKETS into the AIR...

60 EXT. QUIDDITCH PITCH - DAY

Instantly, Slytherin snatches the Quaffle and rushes en
masse toward Gryffindor's end, weaving and passing with
wicked skill, culminating in a vicious, slicing shot on
goal. Just when it appears it will clear the hoop, Ron
streaks out of nowhere and sends the Quaffle screaming in
the opposite direction. Ginny pauses on her broom, stunned.

GINNY
What's gotten into him?

She glances up at Harry, circling high above and he grins.
Just then, Dean streaks by:

DEAN
Ginny! Let's go!

Instantly, she rolls backwards, jets off and races down her
fellow Chasers. Flying in spread formation, Dean--on the
far wing--starts the Quaffle "up the line" until it lands
in Ginny's hand. Pitching herself into a wide slide to
avoid a PAIR of WHISTLING BLUDGERS, she leans recklessly
off her broom and whips the Quaffle through the goal
untouched.

As the CROWD SCREAMS, Harry eyes the Gryffindor section,
where Luna's LION HAT ROARS, Lavender CLAPS for Ron and
Hermione sits with her arms crossed, a look of supreme
annoyance on her face. Harry grins, jets off.

61 INT. GRYFFINDOR COMMOM ROOM - NIGHT

The room teems with students celebrating Gryffindor's
victory. It feels like Mardi Gras. Or a mosh pit. Or a
riot. And Ron is right smack in the middle of it.

CROWD
Weasley! Weasley! Weasley!

Harry takes his backslaps on the periphery, smiling as he
sips a Butterbeer and enjoys Ron's turn in the spotlight.

HERMIONE
Ron seems to be enjoying himself.

HARRY
Yep. Apparently it's his lucky
day.

Apparently this happens when Harry is at The Burrow for Christmas.

84 EXT. REEDS (SURROUNDING BURROW) - MOMENTS LATER - NIGHT

Harry careens through the marsh, reeds flashing past, then
spies Bellatrix. She GRINS, looking like a crazed wood
nymph, then flits off, her LAUGHTER mocking him. As he
pursues, FIRE SNAKES through the reeds toward him.

NEW ANGLE

Fred, George, Ron and Arthur fan out, running full-out,
their feet kicking up SPARKS as SHADOWS splinter throughout
the reeds. It's like chasing ghosts.

NEW ANGLE(S)

Ginny, copper hair gleaming, races through the reeds.

Bellatrix leads Harry on, grinning madly.

Ginny comes dashing to a halt, chest heaving as she peers
into the smoking marsh. A HUGE FIGURE QUIVERS through a
veil of smoke. Ginny's eyes SHIFT, see Bellatrix racing
forward through the reeds, then SHIFT back as the veil of
smoke evaporates, reveals...Greyback. Bellatrix makes an
ODD, CLICKING noise--like a signal--and Greyback edges
forward, sweeping away the reeds in front of him and
revealing...

...Harry as he pelts forward.

GINNY
No, Harry! It's a trap!

Harry falters, looking toward Ginny's voice and spies
Greyback. Bellatrix stops dead, wheels in her tracks and,
seeing Ginny, SHRIEKS with RAGE. Raising her wand, she
fires a BOLT of RED LIGHT which explodes in a SHOWER of
SPARKS around Ginny. Ginny fires back, then wheels away,
flashing through the reeds coming face to face with...

Greyback, sharp teeth glittering.

GREYBACK
Don't you smell clean.

Just then, a BOLT OF BLUE bursts off Greyback's back and he
turns, sees Harry standing several yards off. As Greyback
gives chase, Ginny pelts after and we CUT back and forth
between Harry, Ginny and the beast between them, faster and
faster, their BREATHS shortening until...

Greyback rushes into a clearing, panting, glancing about.

Just then, TWIN BOLTS of light blast from opposite sides of
the clearing and Greyback is lifted in the air, slammed to
the ground. As he regains his feet he looks into the reeds
and sees Harry and Ginny, wands poised. He grins...when
Bellatrix's odd, CLICKING signal carries through the night
once again. Turning away, he exits.

Harry and Ginny slowly step out of the reeds, stare at each
other wordlessly. Then...Ron, Fred, George, Arthur and
Lupin come thrashing into the clearing, stop. All around
them, the reeds SMOKE, the flames dying. Across the marsh,
Bellatrix's cackle rises briefly on the air--then all is
quiet.

HERMIONE (O.S.)
You're lucky you weren't killed.

85 INT. CORRIDOR/HOGWARTS CASTLE - SAME TIME - DAY

Hermione reads the Daily Prophet as she walks alongside
Harry. The HEADLINE is GLOOMY: `MORE DISAPPEARANCES.`

HERMIONE
You have to realize who you are,
Harry.

HARRY
(sharply)
I know who I am, Hermione,
alright?
(frowning)
Sorry.

HERMIONE
So tell me what Arthur said.

HARRY
If Dumbledore's traveling places,
it's news to the Ministry. But
get this: that night at Borgin &
Burkes? It seems Draco was
looking at a Vanishing Cabinet.

HERMIONE
What would Draco want with a
Vanishing Cabinet?

HARRY
You tell me.

Hermione frowns, pondering this. Then:

HERMIONE
He looks different, don't you
think? Draco. Almost...ill.

HARRY
Who could tell the difference?

I think these are a load of shit. The writing of the script is shit and lame and it just doesn't seem right. There is no way Harry would call Malfoy 'Draco'. Nor would Hermione call Mr Weasley 'Arthur'. And I really don't think they would add that scene in if any. It would be an exciting action sequence, but bullshit all the same. That particular scene needs to come in the next movie.

Ok, when Order of the Phoenix was being filmed, someone on there lied about a new scene being added; where Hermione would be spun in the air by a Death Eater and fell into Ron's arms; that never happened. Don't listen to them on there, they all talk out their arse. Believe me.

And they wouldn't have The Burrow get ruined, it's needed for the next film. Because if they did, the Burrow being my favourite location in HP, except Hogwarts, I would be very pissed off! Haha!*

[charma-10.livejournal.com]

No I think that Ron/Hermione scene was in the initial script, but then cut. There was a much longer ministry battle in the original script. That came from about 3 different sources.

This time though I think someone has hacked his account or he's just lying or he got given fakes cause they know he's a leak.

I don't believe these ones. It just seems too far fetched about The Burrow But he was legit last time. He gave us scripts that were in the movie while they were still filming before we saw ANY promo videos.

[thenarnianqueen.livejournal.com]

Yeah, the Burrow thing is so ridiculous! I don't want to believe it even if it is true! Was the other scene filmed, then? Or was it just thought about?

[charma-10.livejournal.com]

I reckon it was nixed in the review of the script. It would have been totally SQUEE-worthy for us shippers, but I think it still needs to be more subtle.

[charma-10.livejournal.com]

LOL, just found this entry again...how wrong we were :P

[cuteej4.livejournal.com]

I call bullshit to all of that. Jo would never agree to burning down the Burrow. Where the hell would the first part of the 7th book take place? Nu uh.
(Shia isn't mad at you. He's telling off the person who wrote the script)

[charma-10.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah I am 100% on the bullshit wagon. It just sucks because this guy was so legit last time. Kloves sucks, but he wouldn't fuck it up that bad.

Did you hear the news over a HPANA? Apparently David Barron told them that there was possibly going to be an announcement soon that would tell us who is directing DH and whether it will be a 2 part film.

And apparently they got the impression it was David Yates (SQUEE!) and that DH will be a 2 part film, but who knows.

I am more excited for the press report and interviews though. They've been keeping them pretty quiet so far. But HPANA got an interview with Jessie so that should be good. From the clips of summerhill (someone posted the eps on You Tube) she strikes me as a good actress and quiet a sweetie.

[cuteej4.livejournal.com]

Okay so one. You need to link me the clips of Summerhill.

Two. NO FUCKING NEED TO SPLIT THE MOVIE INTO TWO!!! YOU DIDN'T SPLIT THE 5TH MOVIE INTO TWO AND THAT WAS SO MUCH LONGER!!! ARGH!!!

Thats Episode 1, Part 1.

The used has uploaded all of Ep's one and two so just click on her user name to find the other parts. The show isn't very good, but I liked Jessie.


I am in two minds about the 2 part movie. It's not confirmed so don't stress. I would love it to be longer and fights longer and whatnot, but I also don't want to have to wait to see a second part, which will happen. It could be quite effective if they ended it when Ron left. Have the screen go black on Hermione saying to Harry "He's gone - disapparated."

It's more money for WB. But as long as it was done well and was incredibly faithful to the book I wouldn't mind. DH was going to be a lot harder to get into one book because the content is so set in concrete. You can't much about with it. All you can really cut out is them plodding around camping and even then important stuff happens. So I think 2 movies could be more successful at telling the story. But I also don't want a borefest with every little thing like the first two movies.

[pigwithhairfics.livejournal.com]

*sigh* I have heard a lot about this but this is the first time I've read it. Dissecting it:

In the Quidditch bit at the beginning, if this was authentic, it would seem a perfect opportunity for Harry to throw a jealous look at Ginny as she races off at Dean's call, yet there's nothing there at all... no mention of Harry until he grins at the end of the passage. That seems to rig very off to me since Yates and Co. has been going on in interviews about Harry's unrequited feelings for GInny in much of HBP.

The battle scene at the Burrow seems like it would take up a huge chunk of screen time and for what reason? We don't need to go back to 12GP at all. We can simply learn of the locket's story in DH. It would have been a HUGE revision to the HBP script if Kloves had had the Burrow destroyed only so that Harry and the Weasleys would have been forced to go back to 12GP after DH came out. I can't buy that. Nor can I see a good reason for adding this. The cave scene with the Inferi at the end of HBP should be a huge scene, Dumbledore's death the climax of HBP. So any battle scene like this would take up too much screen time when you have two huge things at the end already with the cave (which it appears they've already filmed at least part of) and then of Dumbledore's confrontation with Malfoy and Snape.

So, no, I don't buy the whole battle thing.

Have to also agree with the previous poster who mentioned the oddity of Hermione addressing Mr Weasley as "Arthur" and Harry calling Malfoy by his first name.

Also this sounds like Harry had to have asked Mr Weasley if the Ministry knew anything about DD traveling and I can't see that in any real script, either. Harry wouldn't point out that Dumbledore had been gone, nor would he ask Mr. Weasley about that.

[charma-10.livejournal.com]

Absolutely. I just don't get why this guy could be so legit one time and give us this, this time...it all just seems so out of place. And I don't like Kloves, but he isn't THAT bad at writing.

[mysoulcries.livejournal.com]

i think it sounds awesome!
if its true i cant wait for the smokin reeds harry/ginny part!!

GINNY
No, Harry! It's a trap!

Legit or not, that line made me lol. XD

[brunette11.livejournal.com]

Well, I'll defiantly keep an eye open for those scenes...
I can't wait for it to come out!!!
Hmm, I was wondering...
If you'd like to join a challenge I posted on my page?
It would be a great pleasure to have you!
So be sure to tell me something later 8D

[charma-10.livejournal.com]

Hey, I've had a look, but I might have to pass on it at this stage. I'm pretty crap at banners/icons etc, and I have way to much going on to even be able to give it the time it deserves. Thanks for the offer though :)

[brunette11.livejournal.com]

Well, if you're too busy, I understand...
I'll check if your more avalible for the next one...
I just really liked what I read...
Well, I'll keep checking out your page to see what's going on...
Thanks for telling me about the extra scenes though...
