The new trailer for this movie is awesome. This book is regarded as one of the most important, if not the most important, book in the series. Should be great.

Hopefully it sticks to the book....I understand omitting some parts for time saving sake, but I hope they don't butcher the most interesting book in the series.

I personally wish they would just make a four hour movie that follows the books.....I would watch it.

i think the deathly hallows is supposed to be even longer altogether. they're supposed to be splitting it up into 2 films.

they are going to split it, one coming out in '10, the other in '11. the only thing i think is going to suck about half blood prince is that the director said he's leaving out some of the horcrux stuff, which i think is definitely one of the most important parts of the series as a whole.

****MINOR SPOILERS****

as much i'm looking forward to this movie, i'm looking forward to the deathly hallows film in 2010 even more. i loved that book all the way up to the point where they have the break-in at gringotts. after that it went kind of downhill. don't get me wrong, the rest of it was good too, but i thought it could have been alot better. i'm glad they're splitting it up though. there is way too much in that book to be captured in even a 3 hour movie.

these next two(three) moves are going to be very very dark. i'm excited to see how they do hallows, especially the last quarter of the book. i'm ready for november, for sure.

if you all find anything else on this movie, try to post it if you can...i've been waiting too long to see anything about this flick.

the only complaint i have so far is that horace slughorn looks absolutely nothing like he is described in the books.

egotisticalmoron · 08-01-2008, 04:54 PM

yeah i know, i pictured him as perfectly round. short and fat.

I think it said he had a mustache as well...There was one part in the book that said he was so short , his feet did not reach the ground when seated on the couch....I hate when they ignore the books description of people.

I heard that the entire scene with Tom Riddle and the Gaunts flashback isn't in the movie and I can't remember but maybe another one as well.

Also they added a scene that was never in the book when Bellatrix and Greyback attack the Burrow during Christmas. That is the part in the trailer with all the running thru the weeds and Ginny is her bathrobe...
