We are IMMERSED in PULSATING DARKNESS. We here screams of agony -- snatches of Death Eater attacks form VAGUELY in smoke then dissolve to OBSCURITY.
We hear Dumbledore's distant screams -- KILL ME! -- Harry and Dumbledore stagger out the cave as STRANDS of smoke and the image fades as...an eerie light PULSES closer -- rumbles distantly as it approaches. It's faintly green.
It FRAMES the WB Logo as we track through: finding Snape on the tower, LIGHT from his KILLING CURSE blazing, the rumble maginfied now -- Dumbledore careens once more over the edge -- the SKULL drags itself from the clouds -- MOUTH wide, dark, inviting we drift through it --
INTERNAL LIGHTNING resolves into --
1 INT. MINISTRY OF MAGIC-ATRIUM-NIGHT
A sea of FLARING CAMERAS.
RUFUS SCRIMGEOUR stands proud before an ONSLAUGHT of JOURNALISTS. RITA SKEETER regards the MINISTER OF MAGIC sardonically, QUICK QUOTES QUILL poised.
RITA SKEETER
How do you intend to combat the situation Minister?
SCRIMGEOUR
Dumbledore's death is of course a devastating loss but I believe if the Wizarding community pull together we can to overcome the Dark Lord. I warn against underestimating the current danger. The Death Eaters and their forces are a very real threat. Only together can we defeat them.
Rita is unceremoniously swallowed by a sea of surging photographers. FLASHBULBS blaze around Scrimgeour. He regards them QUIZZICALLY then departs.
2 EXT. HOGSMEADE-NIGHT
A vortex of JET BLACK CLOUDS writhes over the village and distant HOGWARTS CASTLE. A crowd of FROZEN VILLAGERS watch...enchanted by prickling ambience -- a hawkish man (ABERFORTH DUMBLEDORE) watches with deep TREPIDITION -- an unearthly roar swells as -- BLACK STREAKS ROCKET through the village. Fire rains in all directions.
CHAOS! Villagers run in all directions. DEATH EATERS appear and blast them away. With a wave of his arm Aberforth sends a hulking Death Eater flying then disappears into the night. ARMS of flame enclose the village and the Death Eaters turn their attention towards Hogwarts.
3 EXT. HOGWARTS-VARIOUS-NIGHT
Black streaks CAREEN through the defenses and in moments the whole castle is CRAWLING with Death Eaters -- jagged cracks of light illuminate the courtyards and bridges as security is swiftly eliminated.
The Death Eaters are everywhere -- taking over the walls. The MAIN GATE CONTORTS and explodes -- a horrifying wail of metal as more Death Eaters flood into the grounds.
BLAZING SKULLS appear over the towers they have taken control of. A solitary jet of black flies to the --
4 EXT. HOGWARTS-ASTRONOMY TOWER-SAME TIME
And forms into -- SEVERUS SNAPE. He looks out over the castle, watching the Death Eaters progress. He directs his own skull into the sky. All around victorious cheers can be heard. Then:
MCGONAGALL
Do not move Snape.
MINERVA MCGONAGALL directs her wand at Snape. He does not turn but smiles.
SNAPE
Good evening Minerva. Come to witness the fireworks?
MCGONAGALL
I should have known I'd find you here of all places.
Snape turns to her. She keeps her wand level.
SNAPE
What do you intend to do? Murder me like I murdered Dumbledore?
MCGONAGALL
Perhaps. You Death Eaters are unwelcome within these walls.
SNAPE
I'd never have guessed. And yet nothing can repel us like the power of Dumbledore. The power which died with him when I blasted him from this spot.
MCGONAGALL
Then so it is with you.
She moves to attack but just then -- WHAM! Death Eaters grab her from the shadows. She thrashes but can't get free.
SNAPE
Don't kill her. I want to watch her suffer under the Dark Lord's rule.
They drag her away. Her protests slowly die. Snape looks out over the castle again, now PATROLLED by Death Eaters. Far in the distance DEMENTORS swarm over the FROSTING lake and WITHERING TREES of the FOREST. A smile of PURE SATISFACTION plays across his face.
Good evening guys.
Well I don't have much time at all.
Too much work and pressure.
During these weeks they're shooting Voldemort's scenes with Gregorovitch and battle sequences at Hogwarts.
Furthermore filming has begun at the Gringotts sets and they are about to start shooting the Ministry of Magic infiltration.
There is so much pressure on set; it's crazy.
We're having a tough time in the art department too.
Back on set, they're building the Forbidden Forest set where Voldemort and Harry have their first confrontation. It's due to be shot next year but the set is challenging. Different than the forest sets you've seen.
I'll try to update as much as I can but I'm afraid my free time will be really limited from now on.
Dream silently,I know you cant be here all the time so thanks for giving us so much information.You have made it possible for me to have a great vision of how DH will be.I really do trust you and I think you are great for giving us all this information.
OH MY GODric Gryffindor!
You're Back! Thank-You for coming back!
I have a few questions...
1. You said "Bellatrix does slightly a bit more to Hermione" What does that mean? What does she do? Please tell me!
2. Oh also in the Deathly Hallows trailer when Hermione has the blood on her hands do you know whether she's putting up defensive spells or if she is surrendering to someone off-screen?
3. You mentioned Greyback fighting Lupin-twice, threatening Tonks, attacking Katie Bell and Bill and Ginny Weasley but does he attack Lavender Brown like in the book?
4. Lastly, does Hermione go mad and punch ron alot when he comes back like in chapter 19?
Thanks again
uhmmm....................what?...............that cannot be the script.............this has to be fake...........or the script sucks!..............I'm sorry...........but that's just horrible.............you got 2 films to do it right...............and this cannot possibly be the end product...........
hey, pipl...
why do you ask this stupid question?
are dream_silently a liar, or not? i don't care! we'll see the movie in Nov. 2010, less than a year...
3. You mentioned Greyback fighting Lupin-twice, threatening Tonks, attacking Katie Bell and Bill and Ginny Weasley but does he attack Lavender Brown like in the book?
Jessie Cave confirmed that she will have a scene with Dave Legeno and she's really afraid ^^
Nice wildworld, how you're trying to use the name of a poster on here who gave us genuine info for HBP. Unfortunately, that is not the exact username he had. This is fake.

4. Lastly, does Hermione go mad and punch ron alot when he comes back like in chapter 19?
1. She's torturing her. Way too much.
2. Yes she's putting defensive spells around the place until they help Ron recover.
3. Lavender Brown? Yes. But it hasn't been filmed yet. As I've told you they will be shooting battle sequences until next Spring. The sets are numerous.
4. She doesn't punch him exactly but she's very angry yes.
dream_silently, the Ron/Hermione kiss, could you please give us a little more detail?
If it's passionate or not? Well I think it will be. Everyone was talking about the scene on set. It's going to be a moment that all fans will love I think. :)
And the interesting aspect is the fact that it happens in the Chamber of Secrets and the battle has just begun.
Updates:
Well they keep shooting battle sequences. Though this week they will start shooting Ministry of Magic scenes.
We finish our work in the art department in February. Though they'll wrap shooting sometime in late May/early June.
Emma returns on set next week too.
Hi dream_silently, I have some questions, lets see:
1. You told us that the kiss between Hermione and Ron will be in the chamber of secrets, is that set the same as in the second film? Or do they rebuild it?
2. In the seven potters scene, Harry and Hagrid go on the motorbike, but what about the other characters? Do they go on thestrals and brooms?
3. Will the trio use the invisibility cloak? As we saw in the trailer/sneek peak, they wont use in some scenes that they should do
4. The gringotts bank set is the same as the philosophers stones one?
5. You told us that we wont see too many magical creatures in the final battle of Hogwarts, what will we see? centaurs (is Firenze on the script?), houselves, ghosts, armors, giants, dementors?
6. You said that Oliver Wood will appear on the second film, Sean Biggerstaff will replay his role? and what about Lee Jordan?
7. How many parts of hogwarts will we see in the final battle scene? the chasing stairs? (we didnt see on the half blood prince)
8. What about Charlie Weasley? Is he going to appear on deathly hallows? is our last time to see him on screen...
9. This is my last question, is 100% confirmed that we wont see ravenclaws common room and Helena Ravenclaws ghost? this may change?
Im from Spain so I dont speak perfect english, still and all
Thank you
i didn't know which thread you were checking, so reposting this here:
dream-
do you mean they haven't shot the silver doe scene? if so, do you remember the early pictures released (dan in a thick gray/offwhite sweater with high coller) - where it looked like he was going towards a patronus light - what were these from? the other time he sees the doe?
the part 1 ginny kiss - who initiates this? does ron break it up?
how has the chamber of secrets set changed? and why did they do this? are they going to expect us to believe someone went down there, moved some furniture, but left a giant basilisk corpse lying around?
is there any reminder/build up to the significance of the destruction of the phoenix wand before godric's hollow?
frank dillane is rumoured to come back. does this mean we'll be seeing hepzibah or other memories cut from HBP?
For those people who still doesnt trust dream_silently, Im going to shut them all..

"Emma Watson is back in the UK after her first semester at Brown University to continue filming scenes for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows."

I have seen a lot of interviews from the DH set lately from Dan, Rupert, Tom, David Heyman.. but I was wondering why we didnt get any interview from Emma.. now you see :)
I am not certain that the fact that Emma is back on set proves anything. Anyone who doesn't live under a rock knows that Christmas break is now and that most likely Emma will be on set for some part of it.
I am not saying that i don't believe dream_silently simply that the fact that Emma is on set like he said doesn't prove anything.
have to agree with decarus. i checked the brown university website a couple of weeks ago just for my own knowledge, figuring she'd have a few days back in england before starting shooting again.
as of yet, we have no proof at all about dream_silently, which he knows and understands. we should all take what he says as rumor until he is able to confirm.
Hi Dream, I'm not sure which thread you are cheaking either so I'll post my question here too. There is a set photo showing Hermione carrying Dobby's body in what looks like his funeral, is this what its going to be like in the film cause Hermione should have just been tortured and to weak to do this. Thanks
