Battle on the Tower

aaron

So, there's been a lot of speculation about this scene and how it goes, whether it is a dream or not (confirmed to be actually taking place in real life.) From the trailer, the cliff dive was my favorite part, but I noticed another part taking place atop this tower of interest. Let's take a look at what we know happens in this scene.


Harry meets Voldemort atop the tower.


Voldemort binds him, "Why do you live?" scene happens.


Voldemort and Harry seem to exchange spells, or at least Voldemort does. This is a mysterious shot. It could even be Voldemort binding Harry or trapping him somehow.


Harry, if he was even bound by Voldemort at all, edges his way out to the edge of the tower. Curious to see how this plays out, as it means that Voldemort isn't in complete control.


"Let's finish it the way we started it, Tom. Together."


They tumble off the tower.

So how do you think this scene is going to play out? IMO, it's one of my most anticipated scenes for the film. I think, if done right, Yates could really nail this one. It seems like a very great setup and duel here.

I think you may just have it all down right Aaron.

I just would like to know what part of the castle it really is.

I just would like to know what part of the castle it really is.

It is the stone bridge connecting the buildings surrounding the paved courtyard (near the iconic Grand Staircase Tower) and what used to be the Viaduct Entrance tower (but the Viaduct has changed position and purpose entirely, now extending from the entrance courtyard out to the grounds). I try to keep up with the changes made to the castle over the releases of the films hehe

Thanks!^

Hogwarts really has changed over the films. Really, I like the final Hogwarts the most. It's so much more grand than in SS.

I don't get how anyone could hate the tower jump scene based on everything we know about it.

Damn. I hated the cliff scene. HATED IT! It's totally odd and awkward. Come on... There's a reason why wizards use wands and spell. WTF with the physical contact? I'm so pissed. Totally unecessary and stupid. And, even worse, the line is totally cliché. Im the only one who thought that?

Damn you, Yates!

I cried when I saw that scene. And inside I went FUCKKKKK YEAHHHH MOTHERFUCKKERRR. KILLL THE BASTAARRDDDD HARRRYYY.

So yeah, I think the scene totally works for me, and for almost everyone else on this forum, I guess.

But alot smaller and compact, i digress.

I thought they actually had to expand hogwarts and make it bigger just for the battle of hogwarts?

Lord Stafford

No, everything has been bunched together, so that the Viaduct and Courtyard will play THE major role. By the way... i can see a giant in the courtyard at night! Can you? :-D

Lord Stafford.

YES! With the Quidditch goalpost!

YodatheHobbit

There are actually two giants!

They did have to make the courtyard a LOT bigger for Deathly Hallows. If you look at it in Order of the Phoenix you can really tell the difference, it's much smaller.

Lord Stafford

It's a shame, but oh well.

I'm worried about this cliff scene... It's very strange, if you remember the book!

It looks like they wanted to make the final duel bigger than it really is in the book and they are creating scenes :X I'm really worried... Harry cannot fight equal-to-equal with Voldemort :X

These two towers are different, I think. First, they face off on this closed tower. They exchange some spells, Voldemort binds Harry and they have the 'Why do you live?' short conversation. Somehow, afterwards, they end up on this ramshackle tower and then they fall and make a fly-tour around the castle. :P That's what I think .

Lord Stafford

No, they're not, they've just been changed slightly from the bottom one.
