Harry Potter and The Half Blood Prince

Uh-Oh....not that debate again:eek:
Do we or don't we include spoilers for HBP and DH???

It would be horrible if you hadn't read the books and you came on here and saw bla bla bla but i would have thought people would be wary of reading forums in case they do have spoilers and they don't want to know.

I bet if you go back a few pages, I've said the exact opposite as above:)

Ooh, we haven't had people's favourite trailers???

I like Goblet of Fire for the music - I think it's ace :D
 
> Could you please describe how the Poisoning scene happened in the movie with Ron? Starting from the spiked love potioned chocolates to when he collapses from the poisoned meade.

The scene opens with Ron staring lovingly at the moon from the boys' dormitory window (lol). Harry comes into the room and Ron tells Harry that he's in love. Harry sits on his bed and Ron climbs on right next to him (more lol) and the dialogue follows about the same from the book if I remember correctly. Harry says, "I thought you were getting tired of her" or something and Ron gets offended, Harry gets confused, thinks they're talking about Lavender but Ron says he's talking about Romilda Vane and asks to be introduced. Harry asks if Ron's eaten something, Harry sees the empty wrappers and box and puts two and two together and gets him to Slughorn's office. Harry asks Slughorn for the antidote, Slughorn lets them in, and he concocts the potion. At one point Ron comes from behind Slughorn and hugs him and so Harry sets him down on the couch (scene is shot with Harry and Slughorn infront, couch behind). Slughorn wonders why Harry couldn't just perform the potion himself but Harry says it's particularly strong and Slughorn agrees. Ron is acting goofy in the back, at one point he sits on the back seating of the couch and falls off! After they get Ron right, Slughorn pulls out a flasks, pours glasses, and they toast to their health. Ron of course slurps his down before the others and he immediately collapses. He starts going a bit gray, convulsing, foaming at the mouth a bit; Harry freaks out, tells Ron to breathe, yells at Slughorn to do something, Slughorn is too stunned to move so Harry hurries through his potion supplies, pulls out a bezoar (sp?) and pops it into his mouth. I forget the transitioning but we find Harry, Slughorn, Ginny, Hermione, and Ron at the infirmary wing.

This was such a good scene by the way, Ron was a laugh!


> How did people react to Ron in particular?

Definitely laughing at Ron. He was hilarious under the love potion, very sensitive, very touchy to those close next to him! It was a well-done scene I thought.

>Can you describe the hospital scene when he breaks up with Lavender?

Ron is lying unconscious on a bed with Ginny to the left and Hermione to the right. Harry and Slughorn are standing at the foot of the bed and Pomfrey enters to tend to him. McGonagall, Snape, and Dumbledore enters, inquires what happened. Slughorn said it was the meade which was gift and "actually it was a gift for you." Lavender bursts in, cries about her Won-Won, sees Hermione, is indignant and angrily wonders why she's there. Hermione retorts back and says she should be asking the same thing. Ron begins to startle and Lavender rushes to his side, holRAB his hand, and exclaim that he knows it's because she's there. Ron begins to mumble and eventually says, "Her-Mion-Ne." Lavender looks angry/hurt and runs out of the room and Hermione looks triumphant. Dumbledore comments something along the likes of, "Ah, the pangs of being a teenager in love." McGonagall gives a look, I think Snape rolls his eyes, lol. They start out of the infirmary wing and Harry is the last to leave, he looks back and Hermione is holding Ron's hand (still unconscious) and leaning over his bed. She looks up at Harry and says, "Oh, shut up."

I forget how this went in the book, but the next day Ron has no idea how he broke up with Lavender (although he's pleased) while she's giving him the stink eye at breakfast across the great hall, aha.

:D
 
MTV has two new articles online relating to the recently released teaser trailer for “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.”

In the first article, actor Rupert Grint says that while he has not yet seen the new trailer, he is looking forward to watching it, especially as it contains a quick glimpse of Ron and the poisoning scene.

At least, i have a little more time than you, humbug. My mother was married before she met my dad - got married when she was 30 and then had my sister, brother and I in her late 30s! I mean you still have plenty of time.
I think the more you're looking for Mr Right, i think the less likely he is to see you and you to see him.
 
Aww I reckon you just caught him on a bad day, Sam. Maybe he had other things on his mind. It's a shame though, as it will be something that will stick in your memory. I would have been gutted too. :(

My favourite DH chapter is 'The Prince's Tale', without a doubt. I love the whole book though, and it replaced OotP as my favourite book. I like all the chapters, even the long camping ones. :D I didn't like the torture scenes though *shudder* and foetal Voldemort. I'll probably have to close my eyes in the films.

I'm such a wuss. :D
 
In reply to the whole, how much input does J.K Rowling have, I can't remember where I saw it but it was either David Yates or David Heyman that said that she was present at the read throughs of the script and througout the whole thing she would be making notes. Now I am pretty sure that they would have taken these notes into account.
 
They were all amazing chapters, the best in DH!

But there was one chapter that i love, Godrics Hollow. I may have cried during this chapter a bit... It was such a beautiful chapter. Christmas eve, snow, graveyard seeing Harrys parents. It also shown the close relationship that Hermione & Harry had developed like a brotherly sisterly love. When they had there arms around each other in front of the gravestone.
It was just so... emotional! It just felt so still, and different from the feel of the rest of the book.

Sorry... rambled :o
 
I didn't get why she wasn't wearing Wizard robes. Her costume worked but it looked more muggle like than anything else

I know that's being picky....can't help it sometimes...
