runaroundkid and Emma06, thanks for the answers! [b]I also remember one little itsy-bitsy question: Who did they show dancing in the movie? Did they show Draco and Pansy(and if so, what were they wearing cuz in the book they said that Draco looked like a vicar(priest) That i would like to see)! Also, did they show Hagrid, Fred and Angelina, Neville and Ginny, Cedric and Cho, and Hagrid and Madame Maxime, and Moody dancing? As well, did they explain that Hagrid and Madame Maxime are half-giants,(even though Madame Maxime denies it!!) [/b] They didn't explain about Hagrid and Madame Maxine, but they really liked each other. Lots of people were shown dancing, but I only really remember Hermione and Krum, because they were having such a good time. Who's Fred and Angelina? Neville danced, but I can't remember with who. Was it Ginny in the book? The scene earlier where Neville was teaching himself to dance was dead sweet. Ron and Harry watched him for a while, but didn't break in on him. He never knew they were there. You knew that Neville had a tremendous time at the ball, because Harry wakes up and hears creaks. It's scary until you see Neville, just getting in. I don't remember Cedric and Cho dancing, but they probably did show it. Everyone danced except Ron and Harry and their unfortunate dates, until someone asked Harry's date to dance and she happily accepted. Then the other one stomps off. [b]What is the reveal of Hogwarts like (when the students first arive)? or was that special effect not yet finished?[/b] Lots of scenes showing Hogwarts weren't finished. [b]Also, Does Myrtle mention any of the events from COS? Does she say "why haven't you come to visit me?" or anything like that?[/b] [b]And, Does Dumbledore mention gathering a group of wizards together in the end? Something about "the old crowd"?[/b] [b]Are the events of any of the previous film discussed?[/b] [b]Is it mentioned that Cedric beat Harry at quidditch or that he played quidditch? [/b] [b]I'm an adult fan, and while I'm definitely interested in Ron, Hermione and Harry, I'm also very interested in the portrayal of the adult characters. If I have any critique of the movies thus far, it is that they sacrifice the adults' stories in favor of the students'.[/b] [b]Coming away from the screening, do you feel as if you learned anything more about the adults and how they factor into the overall story? [/b] [b]For example, does it seem that Harry and Sirius have developed a godson/godfather relationship? [/b] [b]Did the movie leave you wondering about Snape's past at all, or was the revealing of the Dark Mark tattoo just a side-note? [/b] [b]Was there any indication of Dumbledore directing Sirius and Snape to put aside old grudges since they're going to have to work together, now? [/b] [b]Is the scene in the forest where fake Moody's father shows up in the movie?[/b] [b]On that note, may I ask about Ginny? You said she was in about three scenes, and I'm curious as to how many lines she had, because in the last movie she only had one.[/b] [b]I wanted to know what they were yelling at each other about. It could be the Ron stuff, it might not be. It might be that and more than was in the book. You haven't seen the movie either. And you don't see me making sarcastic comments about the scenes Ron/Hermione shippers are asking about. [/b] [b]I just have a question about house elves. Are they in the movie at all or is there any mention of them? [/b] [b]How much Snape is seen in this movie?[/b] [b]1) What type of rating do you think the movie would be getting, do you think it would pull a pg-13 rating?[/b] [b]2) In the Graveyard scene does Wormtail (petter) cut off his hand, and then has it later replaced by Voldormort by a silver hand?[/b] [b]3) During a defence against the dark arts class does Moody show off all 3 curses to the class on some spiders? [/b] [b]4) You probably wont remember this cause it is a one line thing, but does Dumbledore mention anything during the bale scene about a Room of requirement where he found some nice chamber pots in at one point (deals hugely with the 5th book)[/b] [b]I am curious, you said that Harry was running from the dragon...did he not have his broom?????[/b] [b]1.) Is there some sort of explanation of Voldemort's clever plan to place Crouch Jr. (the guy who was at the end, who looked like Mad-Eye Moody) at Hogwarts, how he had Crouch Jr. as Moody enter Harry in the Tournament ect.?[/b] [b]2.) Is there a scene where Harry is (how to put this....) seeing what Voldemort is seeing? (In the book, there is a scene where Frank Bryce [the old man] is killed, Harry sees all of this, even though he is not there. And again in Trelawny's classroom) This is essential to the plot of the next book. Is it in the fourth movie?[/b] [b]3.) You already confirmed no hospital scene. Is there a scene where Dumbledore forces Harry to tell him everything about what happened on the night of the third task? At the part where you see who is Imposter!Moody, is there a potion given to the Imposter? A potion perhaps called Veritaserum? [/b] [b]4.) Does the movie partially focused on the devoloping relationships and teenage-ery moments? Did it seem that the film was targeted at a certain age group? Were the directors trying to make the characters seem more like modern teenagers?[/b] [b]5.) Did it FOCUS on the tournament, and Harry's extreme procrastination in getting the needed information on the tasks? [/b] [b]6.) Did you get the interaction between Sirius and Harry? Do you get some sort of an idea Sirius is a lovable, loyal friend of Harry who is in touch with his inner child? I know you said he was only in CGI format in the fire, but was there letters, notes, telepathy - something to get you attached to Sirius???? What about Cedric (the other Hogwarts student in the tournament)? Is it a painful shock when he is killed?[/b] [b]7.) What is Harry's attidude at the end of the movie? After witnessing Cedric's death, Canon!Harry shuts himself away from the outside world. He talks only to Ron and Hermione, and they don't even talk about the events of the last task. Does this happen in the movie, or does it just end without any insight on Harry's emotions of the graveyard sequence?[/b] [b]8.) Is there any talk of Dumbledore's plan now that Voldemort is back? How Dumbledore is handling this situation by himself - sending off Hagrid and Madame Maxime (Giant Woman) to make friends with the giants, Snape to go spy on Voldemort, and Sirius to go get Lupin and restart the Order of the Phoenix (A group against Voldemort)? [/b] [b]In the movie do they show the Leaving Feast or is it left out? Because thats when Dumbledore tells the whole school and guests about Voldemort's return.[/b] [b]Were these lines in the movie: Dumbledore said, "And if ever there should come a time when you have to make the choice between what is right, and what is easy, remember a good young man (paraphrasing) whose only sin was to come across the path of Lord Voldemort. Remember Cedric Diggory" (It was at the goodbye feast, they all raised a goblet to Cedric and said his name aloud...it was beautiful. I'm dying for this to be in the movie.) {{BY Kyrane: This line was partially on the trailer}} Then Hagrid simply said "What'll come will come, and you'll have to meet it when it does." [/b] [b]Do we find out why Neville lives with his grandmother in the movie? (it would be in the pensieve scene) [/b] [b]1. Do they show the entrance of Hogwarts (the castle). Like do they show the front doors and some of the grounds.[/b] [b]2. Do they have the part where Hermione captures Rita Skeeter in her Beetle form? (Rita is an animagus so she can turn into a Beetle if you didn't know since u didn't read the book =) )[/b] [b]3. In the bathroom scene, were there many taps that released many different colors of liquids and bubbles? Or was it just clear water?[/b] [b]4. And lastly, did they show Harry giving the password to get into the prefects bathroom?[/b] [b]5. Oh wait lastly again haha.... Did the Fat Lady have some lines?[/b] [b]Of the Grave Yard scene, when Harry fought Lord Voldemort, did their two wands connect with any kind of numinous beam or thread? I believe that I have read all of your replies thus far and have found no news on this particular detail, if the movie deviated from the book’s account of this moment, then how did Lily and James Potter appear and help Harry?[/b] [b]Oh yeah, did anyone else besides Harry's parents come out of Voldemort's wand? Cedric, Frank Bryce (the old man in the beginning), and Bertha Jorkins should have. (Dunno if Bertha was mentioned in the movie)[/b] [b]What about the interaction of Harry and Serius, and I know he was only shown in the fire but do you remember him interacting with a black dog? (would be what you would remember from the third movie) Basically, If he interacts with a dog at anypoint, chances are its also another form of his godfather(serius) [/b] [b]To help some people out who were asking about the voldemort thing with those dots on his face, I work in movie cg/special effects (im a compositor) so if I know what unfinished scenes look like (by description) I can probably help out with what there end result will be. Like those dots, there tracking markers, if I know where the dots are, I can tell you what features will probably be taken from them (if theres dots or circles around the eyes/eye area then we will obviously get the snake eyes) but if all the features as in cheekbones ect, key spots we can expect the face to be morphed into another shape, the hands we probably wouldnt see anything at all they would just be cg added later, IF any of the house elves are in it, they would probably just be orange balls (or a diff color ball on a stick) that harry (or one of the other characters) were interacting with[/b] [b]Also you said that the part where Moody/Crouch Jr had the grasshoppers that effected the kids, were they grasshoppers or spiders? (book uses spiders, i find it an odd thing to change to, but considering rupert really does have a fear of spiders, maybe they were being nice lol) the one under the impirius curse should tapdance, im guessing that would be later, cruciatus would have been the one that effected longbottom the most, twisting/convulsing lil spider as if every 'bone' was beign put in ways it shouldnt, and the killing curse would have killed the third one, was there three at all or was it just the one with crucio? also dumbledore.. how was his attitude throughout the movie? I ask this because Richard Harris's acting was more in key with how his character should act. and Michael in the third movie really.. overdid it. He was very loud (as apposed to the more quiet composure of Harris) and He talked with his arms alot very.. oddly animated-like. I was wondering if he continued the same attitude for him in this movie, or if he was more like the dumbledore from the first two. Also I am curious sense it has been a constant debate in the forums and I was wondering what the director did on it, in the graveyard scene, how you say Malfoy, and the other characters in the circle, do you remember seeing snape in there? (voldemort should have said there were 3 people missing, 1 who was a coward, one who he has lost forever, and one who was loyal) im curious if the director took it into his own hands and put snape IN the graveyard as one of the hooded men, or if he didnt, also if he mentioned the missing people (not just the ones who were missing due to azkaban) Also at the end did Dumbledore ask Snape to put himself in danger, that he knew what he must do if he was prepared to do it? or something along those lines? and then have him (snape) leave the room abruptly / swiftly) at the same time hagrid should also exit the scene because something was asked of him? [/b] [b]You mentioned a band at the Yule Ball playing something punk rock-ish (the band is the Weird Sisters). Were there lyrics to the song, and if so, were they magical world oriented? And can you describe the appearance/instruments/etc. of them? [/b] [b]You said Dan's crying scene over Cedric was very emotional, was Dan's crying convincing? Did it seem realistic? How was Dan's acting overall in this film? [/b] [b]What did the Death Eaters (Voldemort's supporters) look like? I keep picturing them as these great hulking, masses in heavy, flapping robes with a 'ghost' mask like you see on kids during Halloween (yes, a very childish view) or one of those white masks that just covers your eyes and nose.[/b] 2. You mentioned that Harry's parents help him in the graveyard. The fans understand the exposition here, but did the movie make this event clear to you? Did you get what happened to Voldemort's wand? Or was it like "What the heck?!" 3. Did Harry and Voldemort's wands magically "lock together" in the graveyard? If so, did this make sense as well? And if so, did the filmmakers get carried away with flashing lights and plasma and that type of junk during this particular scene? One of my pet peeves are these boring "light shows" that so many big budget films include now adays (the climax to the HULK and the patronus climax in POA are examples). 4. Was the scene where Wormtail chops his arm off graphic? I don't understand how they'll get this type of self mutilation in under the PG rating. Or do you think this movie was aiming for the PG-13 anyway? What everyone wants to know is: is Fudge in the movie at all, speaking to Dumbledore, McGonnagall, Snape, or Harry about Voldemort being back or what happened to Harry in the graveyard? Is he in denial about it and doesn't want to believe Dumbledore or anything of that sort? And most especially, is there any part where the whole school is in the Great Hall (where they eat) with Dumbledore giving a speech about Voldemort returning? Please describe how violent you would consider the scene when Peter Pettigrew cuts off his hand and takes blood from Harry. Did they show it in shadow (takes away from the violence level) or did they show Pettigrew actually take the dagger to his hand? Does Voldemort torture Harry at all using a curse from his wand? The same goes for Moody/Crouch, Jr. when they are in class. Is Harry put under a curse where he must fight it off (should cause him to be very tired or weak)? ChaserGirl: do we see Malfoys date for Ball? is she blonde or black haired? is she pretty? Kaena: (Too long to quote. See post #157) Mike: You said Dan's crying scene over Cedric was very emotional, was Dan's crying convincing? Did it seem realistic? How was Dan's acting overall in this film? FreedomStar: What did the Death Eaters (Voldemort's supporters) look like? I keep picturing them as these great hulking, masses in heavy, flapping robes with a 'ghost' mask like you see on kids during Halloween (yes, a very childish view) or one of those white masks that just covers your eyes and nose. Here's another little question, how are the actors playing Krum, Fleur, and Cedric (the other 3 competitors for the tri-wizard cup)? Is there a teeny tiny owl in the movie? His name is Pig or Pigwidgeon. Well, I would really just like to know whether or not Dan's/Harry's crying was realistic or not? Like, were there any tears? At any rate, was it convincing? Oh! So that's in... does she kiss Ron too? And if so, does Hermione get jealous? Did you think the movie's climax was scary, as it was in the first three movies? well you said that Hermione did Kiss Harry at the end, and that there was a big party...a party for what????? Does the character of Emma Thompson appear? Do the House Elves Appear? Does the Fat Lady (the "door" for the Gryffindor Comoon Room) appear? what did you make of the dress of the teens. When they were in plain clothes, was it very modern or more middle of the road. (Everyday jeans and Tees for example). And the Wizards at the World Cup, were any dressed oddly (like the didn't know how to dress like Muggles)? How much time do the Weasleys get at the beginning. Was it rushed, or was there a nice family dynamic there (even briefly)? Were there hints of the developing friendship of Hermione/Ginny? (I love this little sub-textual friendship in the book, it becomes more text in OotP. But I like Hermione with a GIRL friend) Where/when did Hermione ask Ron to 'ask her first' if there's another ball (after the ball or at the end of the film)? You say there's a final embrace at the end (for the trio), is this at school, at the train station, somewhere else? How do the boys react to girls in general? Did Ginny have significant lines in her scenes at least? And did the Weasley Twins have any intresting moments? (beyond defying the age line). Does Krum talk a lot/have a lot of scenes? Is he ever shown to be worried about the Harry/Hermione relationship? How often do we see Viktor Krum and Hermione together? Does Dumbledore's office look any differant than in CoS? Do Harry parents look the same as they did when they had Harry in PS/COS (James with short dark hair, and robes and glasses) or the picure of them when they were younger from PoA (James with longer hair, and smaller glasses)? 1. Does a scene take place after Harry's name comes out of the cup, where snape says somthing like "He [Harry] has been known to break rules?" 2. Does Snape and the teacher from the other school (Krum's school) discuss anything - like running because the mark is getting darker? 3. Does Moody confront Snape? 4. In what context does Snape show that he has the dark mark? Do you remember a scene where Harry throws a 'Potter stinks' badge at Ron? And did it hit his forehead? I need to know if Hermione kissed Harry... So this wasn't explained either? The reason Harry's and Voldemort's wands locked together was because they were BROTHER wands, and BROTHER wands cannot fight one another or that effect happens. that. If you read GoF then maybe you could answer questions or comment more. Why did you not decide to read them before ?? Oh yeah and before you read then.. On mugglenet they said the last 10 minutes was dull.. did you feel the same or is it just because if one read the books one would expect more? What rating do you think it will get? PG or PG-13? 1) Do the Durmstrang (Bulgarian) students dance when they enter the hall? And was this good? 2) Do we see more of the school, different corridors/classrooms etc? 3)Do we see the scenery seen in the POA movie, the hillside down to Hagrid's Hut etc? I have a question...There are a ship in the movie..of the dumstrang students? I am wondering whether or not you get to see the Beauxbatons carriage with the big horses, or the Durmstrang Ship coming up from the lake? 1. In the trial scene, he is meant to be about fifteen years younger - does it look like that or do they just leave him about the same? Also, how disturbing is it? It's very harrowing and shouty in the book. 2. He's meant to be mad, but does he play it loud or quiet? 3. (bit silly, this one)The book says he's blond, but I can't picture it myself so ...er.. what's his hair like *rolls eyes at self*. I know loads of people who want to know, as he's become a bit of a star since filming this. You had mentioned that Ron and Harry make up from their fall out. In the book the trio hug after the first task(forced upon by an emotional Hermione). It reads very humerous. Does this make it to the film? === Aseldar: Oh, and I have one final question: Was it ever revealed, or were you able to guess that Neville's parents were tortured into insanity by Barty Crouch Jr...which is why Neville lives with his Gran and which is also one of the reasons Barty Jr. was in Azkaban in the first place? Also, in the book, it is revealed that although Crouch Sr. HATED his son, his mother loved him and used a polyjuice potion to switch places WITH him in Azkaban--which is how he escaped. She died in Azkaban, and was buried. (Sorry if I revealed anything you didn't know; I'm just curious as to whether or not these details were put in) Also sorry if those questions have already been asked...I've skimmed over this thread and read all your replies in full detail, but 32 pages and my brain starts to stop collecting information... === LivT: Okay, here's two questions (sorry to add to the long list!): Did the pensieve scene strike you as, in any way, disturbing or scary? If not, what was the overall feeling of this scene? I mean, Crouch Sr. sentences his own son to Azkaban! Were you able to identify that Barty Crouch, Jr. (the son/ fake Moody) was in the pensieve? What about Karkaroff (the teacher guy who lists off names)? Or did you find the scene difficult to follow, as you have never read the books before? Was it a cool scene? Also, were you impressed at all with David Tennent's character, Barty Crouch, Jr.? Thanks so much, Equipoise! We all really appreciate this! === javadoc: Thanks for the info, Equipoise. I have tried to monitor the entire thread, but I might have missed some things, so please ignore any questions you have already answered. 1. In the opening scene, when Frank Bryce discovers Voldemort and his cohorts in the Riddle house, is there enough overheard dialogue to hint at the plot they are concocting? Do they mention the Quidditch world cup, and placing someone at Hogwarts? Or did this scene serve only to show that Crouch Jr, Pettigrew, and Voldemort were working together at the Riddle house? 2. Were Harry and co. sitting in a special section at the Quidditch match, or did it seem to be "general seating" amongst the crowd? Were there any notable wizards seated near them, especially the Malfoys and Barty Crouch Sr? If Crouch Sr was there, was there an empty seat next to him? (In the book Crouch's house-elf sat in the top box with the honored guests, with Crouch Jr next to her under an invisibility cloak, and controlled by a spell of Crouch Sr's). 3. In the chaos after the match, when the Death Eaters are tearing up the camp... can you tell us a little more about how Harry sees Crouch Jr shooting the Dark Mark into the sky? Where does it happen? Is Harry by himself? Does Crouch Jr use Harry's wand? Is it clear why Crouch Jr is there at all? What happens after the Dark Mark is fired - do other wizards show up to investigate? Do they use a spell effect on Harry's wand to see what were the last few spells that came out of it? (This is important because this is where we are introduced to the idea that one wand can force another to show the last few spells it has cast - it is this effect that causes "ghosts" of Harry's parents to come out of Voldemort's wand at the end in the graveyard scene, along with the "ghost" of Frank Bryce.) 4. What does Sirius talk about when he appears in the fireplace? Does it involve warning Harry that Karkaroff (the head of the Durmstrang school) was once a Death Eater? 5. Is it explained how Neville acquired the gillyweed that he gave to Harry? You said that Snape confronts Harry about having stolen it... did you assume that Neville had stolen it and given it to Harry? 6. When Dumbledore, Snape, and McGonagall arrive in the nick of time at the end, did they play up how powerful Dumbledore is - does he get to kick butt? Was there a battle, or does Dumbledore simply blast Moody/Crouch Jr unconscious with one massive spell? 7. Do you remember any mention of a truth serum called Veritaserum? Does Snape threaten to use it on Harry? Does Dumbledore use it on Crouch Jr at the end to force him to reveal how he infiltrated Hogwarts? 8. Was there any mention of an "incident" in which Mad-Eye Moody was attacked at his house shortly before he reported to Hogwarts to teach? 9. Did Moody have a wooden foot, and walk with a limp? Was there evidence that his rotating blue eye could see through things? Thanks in advance! === Madame_SugarQuills: Equipoise, I just wanted to thank you for putting up with my questions!! I know that ever since you started this thread people have been bombarding you with questions, and I hope that your head isn`t splitting right now! Thank you so much! P.s I kno that you have already answered my questions but I just have one more thats been bugging me. Did Dumbledore mention anything about assembling "the old crowd"? Did he say any names such as Mundungus Fletcher, Arabella Figg, and Remus Lupin? (this would be mentioned towards the end of the film-after Harry comes back with Cedric and they gave Barty Crouch Jr. the dementor`s kiss-by the way, did they put that in the film-and if not how did they arrest Barty Crouch Jr.? Also, did they completely shrug off Crouch Sr.`s death?
