I was really looking forward to the scene in the Minister's office at the beginning of the book-why put the stupid waitress scene in there??? They left out way too many memories, how are they going to tie those in-they are pretty pivotal to the plot in the next book? Dumbledore's wand in his office-not buried with him--leads me to think the whole hallows part will be left out but HOW since it is the name of the book . Overall I have been disappointed in all the movies since they stray so far from the books.

When Snape told Harry not to say anything, I thought that it gave the impression that he was going to help Dumbledore. Remember that Dumbledore trusted Snape always and Harry knew that. In OOTP, Harry even sought help from Snape to check on Sirrus. He didn't like Snape, but because Snape was in the OOTP and because of Dumbledore's never wavering trust, he would have assumed he was going to help.

I guess I am the odd man out on this scene, because I liked the way they did it. I think, for someone that had not read the book, it gave more surprise to what happened.(that is assuming there is someone out there who had not been told what was going to happen by someone who had read the book) Again, it gave the impression that Snape was there to help not to harm.

OTOH, knowing how it all plays out in the end; it also showed Snape's was protection of Harry. If Belatrix or the others had known Harry was there, he would have been toast. We haven't been shown that protection a whole lot in the movies; except for in the first movie when he was trying to undue the spell on Harry's broom during Quidditch.

You are not the only odd man out. I liked the way they did that scene too. I think Harry will be tormented over it in the next film but in the end it plays to the Snape protecting Harry theme very well, as you mentioned.

As for others saying it went against Harry's characater to stay out of sight I don't think it did. We finally see a more mature Harry in this film. He is transforming from a fumbling young wizard who gets by on luck into a purposeful wizard.

To me he was following Dumbledore's orders. Dumbledore told Harry he would only be allowed to help if he (Harry) followed every order given by Dumbledore- even the unthinkable. Harry gave his word that he would. Harry remained true to his word - he followed Dumbledore's orders just as he promised - even in an unthinkable situation.

I think they will tie the wand in by Harry remembering it being in the office and possibly Voldmort trying to get it from there. Remember the wand actually belongs to Snape now so they may tie more into that.

I agree that the movies have strayed from the books but the only one that has really disappointed me was Order of the Phoenix. I just thought they left too much out and made it too hard to follow the story.

The actors aren't redheaded. I saw both of them last year(?) at Dragoncon. Nice guys but both have dark brown hair.

You are so right! Harry has really matured since the death of Sirrius. And of course he would be more careful of doing things without thinking and of not doing what he was told.

No, the wand belongs to Draco, not Snape, which is why it didn't help Voldermort after he killed Snape.

ahhh, you are most correct! I had to go look it up in book 7 to be sure. It became Draco's when he disarmed Dumbledore.

That is so cool!

mad eye's son
voldemort's nephew

Yeah, sure is. I have to say, Ralph Fines's nephew was really adorable (and did a great job).

 

[Eeyores Butterfly]

They were actually going to have Hary end up with the wand (clearly evident by the scene in Dumbledore's office) but changed it after the 7th book came out when they realized it was crucial for the wand to remain at Hogwarts. Since we never see the burial, it leaves it open that Dumbledore was indeed buried with his wand.

I think the one thing I missed the most was Snape's reaction to Harry calling him a coward when Snape is fleeing with the other Death Eaters. I just felt that was such an important clue to Snape's character, and that over everything else was what convinced me that Snape was good.

actually the wand belongs to draco not snape so it doesnt' matter who has it - it knows who it's rightful owner is

 

[disneyworldluvr349]

So wait the young Tom Riddle was Ralph Fiennes nephew?


Woah!

right you are - and looking on the nerdy side don't ya think lol;

 

[disneyworldluvr349]

Nerdy yet oddly appealing :}

Yes, that bothered me too. Additionally, in the book, Harry tried to attack Snape with the cruciatus curse and Snape defended himself against the curse saying, "No unforgiveable curses for you, Potter" and spoke of him needing to close his mind. He was teaching and protecting Harry as much as he could to the end. I wish they would have included this in the film. It certainly wouldn't have taken much additional screen time.

Yeah, I went back and looked at book 7 and found that. You would think after all the times of reading that book I would have remembered that particular piece of information!
