How close to the book do you think HBP will be?

I have serious doubts about this matter! Although i believe that most of the dialogues will be verbatim from the book (as in the 5th movie) i think that the script will be cut to their needs! I mean that i dont have any problem if the cut any short parts but it makes me crazy to make a new story based on some parts of the book I want to believe that the movie will be as close as possible to the book although the will never be the same!

I think it will be the closest since either PoA or Chamber.

Surprisingly little has been cut. The Gaunts are cut, but not completely cause we will still hear their story, Hepzibah's cut, but again, we will hear the story. Bill and Fleur are cut, though there is a teeny possibilty we might hear about them, Myrtle's cut, Vernon's cut...I can't really think of much else.

The Gaunts are important,i would like to see them....that's one of most interesting parts in the book..Bill and Fleur aren't important so much....WB delayed movie,so we are expecting best film in HP series....what do you think??....i hope this is all dream(delaying)....Why did they show us the trailer?????

Wilbo421 · August 2008

We don't need to see the Gaunts at all. We just need to heard about them at least, and we will.

The delay means nothing for the quality of HBP. They aren't spending any more time on it than they ewre oringinally planning to, they still have to stick to the original deadlines because they've already assured us that they will start filming DH in February, and there's a LOT of preperation work for that filming that they've got to do.

I would like to see Gaunts...Yeah,i know delay means nothing for the quality of HBP,i mean that if they are trying so hard to delay the film,because they want more people to see it,then MAYBE HBP film is fantastic(they are expecting extra income)..But I don't think so...Money is most important.But if they are expecting so much money like TDK,it's because movie is great....

True

Well, if HBP is going to be junk movie i'm going to throw eggs on Warner Bros building....

I think it will be. Even though I hope that the film is 'great'-but clearly it can't be-it's mostly because of the title of the film...'Harry Potter'.
They don't really care. They claim to have seen the film and they called it 'fabulous'. Really? I hope so.
BUT, with all the hype and promotion, the film is going to be their big blockbuster in 2009. Even if the film is crap, oh boy, it'll make 200M$ in the US and another bunch of 500M$ internationally FOR SURE. So, they have 700M$...now, of course it can make even more but it's definite to make 700M$.So they will have a big income.

after watching the trailer it seams that the main plot will be about the memories and the cave will obviously be a big scene.I dont think the the whole "half blood prince" part of the book will be that big,it will probably be mentioned but i dont think hermione will seam as woried,about the potions book,in the film like she is in the book.she will probably say something like"that book is trouble" and that will be it.she probably wont go on about it like she does in the book.also the spell that snape created himself(which hangs people by their ankles in the air)was used in ootp,i think.so that scene with ron hangin upside down from his bed probably wont be in it either.im glad they have brought quidditch back though,im looking forward to seeing ron play

Actually, I think that they were focusing on Riddle because they're trying to fool people into thinking he's the Half-Blood Prince. We know there's at least one scene where Hermione's talking to Harry about the book. I think there'll be more than that.

I'm sure they'll handle it just as the book handled it.The film is called the Half-Blood Prince. We know they've got plenty of Snape. Trust me, they won't just ignore the book, there will be a pretty big focus on it. It think. Considering the photos we've seen of Harry carrying it around with him.
