At the end of the trailer, Mal said "What was THAT?" in the same tone everyone else was thinking.
I thought it looked sort of funny. Sara was giggling, anyway.
All right, no one's killing folk today, on account of our very tight schedule.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Hell, I'm sure a guinea pig could bite a half-inch deep wound in your finger... maybe the poop would be a better option.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Reading some Potter forums, there's interesting speculation that the DH movie will open with a marriage between Lupin and Tonks instead of Bill and Fleur. Since they've written out the whole Bill/Fleur storyline and they included Lupin/Tonks (albeit briefly) in this movie, that makes sense. Though now that the Weasley home has been torched I wonder how they'll finesse that.
The consensus seems to be that the ending was weak and I really don't understand why they didn't include the final battle in the movie. It was either a budget decision or they wanted to focus on Dumbledore's death as the movie's end-note.

Hec, I've thought for some time that they'd have to have the wedding be Tonks/Remus instead of Bill/Fleur since they have never introduced Bill or Charlie onscreen, and have left Percy unmentioned since PoA (except for his being an unnamed Minister henchman in OotP). I'm guessing that they'll have the wedding at the Tonks' house, so at least we'll meet Ted and Andromeda. That might end up being where they head instead of Shell Cottage in the final film.

I'm sure I read an interview with the director somewhere that they are saving up the battle scenes for the final film, to make it more epic. Which seems kind of lame to me. Fans can handle two epic battle scenes.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Kathy - Percy was in OotP very briefly. Smug and supercillious. But he was there.

Yes, shoving Harry around before Dumbledore took off with "style," but they didn't mention him by name, so his break with his family isn't going to be given any screen time in the final film.

Right, which kind of plays into Fred's death - Percy's joke is why he's smiling.

I've said it numerous times - as much as I love the three actors, I think they really jumped the gun in starting the movies before the books were finished. They've made all of these decisions about what and whom to cut, that I'm sure it made writing the screenplay for DH more difficult. Hell, how are they going to figure out where to start looking for the real locket if they've cut out Mundungus stealing shit?

I'm NOT spoilerphobic (about Harry Potter, anyway), and it sounds like none of that is much in the way of HSQ by any means, but I suspect you need to go back and white font some of your last two posts, Aims.
