How will Half-Blood go if *spoilers*
I was just thinking about well, pretty much, what ever popped into my head, and the thing was Harry and how will the Snape scene at the end of the sixth book play out. Then I remembered what I read a while ago on one fansite about a transcript on info on HBP
It said that film-makers didn’t want to have a big battle at the end of the movie six since there was one in the fifth and will be one in the second a.k.a. they don’t want two Battle of Hogwarts. Now, if the battle doesn’t happen but they keep Malfoy’s plot line in, which is seems like they will from the photos of Slughorn’s Christmas Party, does that mean that there will just be a bunch of Death Eaters running around Hogwarts? With no opposition? That makes no sense.
There needs to be something to get Dumbledore to go to the Astronomy Tower (like a Dark Mark) and Snape needs to kill him, run out, not be harmed because he’s ‘in’ the Order, have Harry run after him, have Snape yell at Harry and say he’s the Prince.
Wouldn’t that all make more sense if there is a battle rather than Malfoy lets the Death Eaters in to watch him complete his mission, Dumbledore just happens to meet him somewhere on the grounds with Harry after the cave, Snape comes over perhaps by luck (oh, he can have Harry’s Felix Felicis), Dumbledore begs to die and Snape does it after which he has a monologue about his nickname.
Not to sound mocking, but that is a very likely scenario (minus perhaps the potion part). I understand the budget thing but what’s the Attack on the Burrow all about and where is Bill, Fleur, and Dobby and the ghosts like The Grey Lady? They do play a vital part in the seventh book after all.
Maybe everything will work out fine, and I feel that it will for the sake of the movie franchise but why can't we just stay truer to the books that practically alter an entire plot line (if not the whole plot). Visions of Golden Compass come to mind.
I guess we'll have to wait and find out in July (if they don't push the date back further)
