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.
Tracy: Well-- That call -- That call means you just murdered me. Mal: No, son. You murdered yourself. I just carried the bullet a while.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
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.

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.

Oh! I figured stuff from the past movies and books were ok. I'll go back.

I really don't know what's from what, but some of the remarks made seemed to have future implications about this or future movies. Even if the actual subject matter in question was about past events happening or not happening.
If I'm wrong, don't worry about it. It just seemed like the discussion was about how current or past events will effect Deathly Hollows, and that may or may not ping somebody, if not white fonted.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
For the record, the mention of Fred's death pinged me, although I don't know if any Buffistas who care haven't read DH yet.

No worries - better safe than sorry.
