HBP..No fight scene or dumbledores funeral?? huh??

I just read this while doing research for my site. Did anyone know this whats going to happen in the movie then?



While conducting interviews for his new film "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas", producer David Heyman has offered some reasons and explanations to answer several "Harry Potter" fan sites' questions over "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince". Through it, it is revealed that the battle at Hogwarts and Dumbledore's funeral have to be eliminated to avoid repetition as well as provide the right ending to this sixth film.

Explaining his reason for the battle omission to Snitch Seeker, the filmmaker spelled out, "The reason why we left out the Battle at Hogwarts is because we have a battle at Hogwarts in the Seventh film and we are avoiding repetition." He then added on Dumbledore's funeral scene, "Dumbledore's funeral was something that I really loved and is a fantastic part of the book and part of me would have loved it in the film. But we decided that while we loved it that what we came up with was the right ending for the film that we had made."

Heyman also gave time to address the impact of characters cut to the last two installments of "Harry Potter" franchise, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I" and "Part II". "Inevitably there will be certain things that we will probably have to introduce and emphasize in the Seventh film," he answered The Leaky Cauldron's question. "Before we read the Seventh book there had been things in the earlier films that we had not realized how important they were."

"There was an example in the Fifth film when we were considering cutting Kreature but Jo [Rowling] said to me..."I wouldn't do that if I were you"...She didn't tell us why, but she said we would be advised to keep him. And of course in the Seventh book Kreature is an important character. It has been a while, for example, since we have seen Dobby and I suspect we are going to have to make more of Dobby in Seven than we might have done. I think we have done a pretty good job of what we need in terms of the plot." The written scripts of all the Q&A with Heyman can be read at Harry Potter's Page.

Dealing with a darker matter than previous "Harry Potter" films, "Half-Blood Prince" resolves around the ever growing threat built by the evil dark wizard, Lord Voldermort, to the wizarding world. Being the only one who has survived his attack years before, Harry accompanied by his two loyal friends, Ron and Hermione has to prepare for his ultimate battle while the walls that used to keep him and his friends away from danger may not be a safe haven anymore.

The sixth movie adaptation from "Harry Potter" book by J.K. Rowlings, it stars Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson, Bonnie Wright, Michael Gambon, Tom Felton, Alan Rickman, Helen McCrory and Hero Fiennes-Tiffin. The flick coming out on July 17, 2009 is directed by David Yates and written by Steven Kloves.

What did they make the movie about then?

Whats the movie about then??????? let me know!

Good Grief!!! Is it going to be all Snape and Draco. How could you not have the battle of Hogwarts!!!

Stoopid moviemakers

EVIL MOVIE DIRECTORS!!!! They really should read the books. Or at least discuss the plot with J.K.R or something...

One fact....J.K.R. has to aprove every script to the movie....Because they are her books....She has the finale saying to the movie scripts....

I think ill sjip it in theaters and then buy it!

Why do they always screw up the movies so much? Is it really that hard? Pretty sure I could have written a better screenplay for the 5th one. And I'm 14...
