Most Emotional Moment In The Series (Movies)!
In my opinion, Cedric's demise was the most emotional moment (this includes Harry's parents and Cedric conversating Harry during the priori incantum, and Harry's triumphant arrival to the crowd with Cedric's body).
I only hope they give more attention to Albus's death, not to make it as plain as Sirius's!

Whatever, it was a brilliant line to add in, and it really confuses me how this freak, Drake, on the imdb HBP board thinks it's stupid and simplifies things. I don't really understand, though, how a line with with such implications can be considered "dumbing down" (in her words).
i am not afraid harry,i am with you!
that was the best i think...
:/
Damn!!!!!!!
i am really mad about the books,but the movies...:/
I mean it was awesome when he pleads Harry and Victor to call Albus, and when Harry returns, Krum is severely beaten, and Crouch is gone.
Shame we didn't see that onscreen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Unfortunatley, some people believe HP is. They're gonna get a well-deserved shock when they see the cave scene. Mwahaha.
but who cares what they say?
after all,if they have a problem,then all they have to do is to not see it...
for gods sake!!!
we like it that way!!
:D
Well...I think that's the reason why they DO listen to what they say, lol
I only wish they don't cut violent moments to give it a PG-13 rating!
sorry
:/
1.The Return from the Graveyard: Jeff Rawle was extremely good and the entire atmosphere was sad and intense.
2.The End of GoF-Not Emma's awful lines but the entire feeling in the Great Hall, then the talk with Harry...it was melancholic and bittersweet.
3.Harry's Possession in OotP-That was a good scene, period. And I found Dan quite good in it.
4.Harry and Sirius talk in Grimmauld Place-It's nice, touching and moving.
5.Talk with Harry and Sirius in the end of PoA-It was nice and sad. Just this...simple but powerful.
I actually think that there are going to be three scenes from HBP which will top my list.
1.'I'm not worried, Harry...I'm with you' line is definitely in the film according to the script leaks and I think it will be moving .
2.Dumbledore's Death scene-No comments.
3.When Harry and the rest of the others find Dumbledore's body...this will be the most emotional scene in the series, in my opinion. I think it will look like the 'after the Graveyard' scene with Cedric but it has to be even sadder.
We'll see, though. But I'm optimistic about the climax of the film. It has to be a magnificent combination of action (Cave,Inferi,Battle at Hogwarts castle and grounds), darkness/seriousness (Draco,Dark Mark etc.) and powerful emotions (Dumbledore's Death, the confrontation with Snape)...
so I wish that everything will live up to my expectations. It's the most powerful climax in the series except DH (with GoF coming close at the third place, then PoA, then OotP and then the two first books) so it has to be amazing.
Along with the argument they have beforehand about Snape not wanting to do it. Harry chasing Snape and trying to curse him. Snape pretending to be evil.
Can't wait for HBP.
A BIG concern of mine is the cutting of Trelawney. They missed out explaining about her making the Prophecy in the Hog's Head in OOTP so they could explain that quickly in HBP before Harry and Albus leave for the cave. Also it puts more doubt on Snape's motives.
Harry returns Cedic's body to Hogwarts, and Cedric's dad's reaction (in the film)
When Harry says goodbye to the Dursleys (in the book. I don't know, it made me cry for some reason.)
When Fred, Lupin and Tonks die (in the book)
Those bits always make me cry. )'':
Dead Man Walking death scene : Musical Score ... Check!
Titanic death scene : Musical Score ... Check!
The Green Mile death scene : Musical Score ... Check!
See it's the score that makes the death scenes so emotional!
Certain scenes were made incredibly poignant and beauitful because of Hooper's choices. Such as, IMO, Sirius' death, the conversation Sirius and Harry have at Grimmauld place and of course the posession scene. I have yet to speak to a person who hasn't said how perfect the music is over the possession scene.
This is my opinion on the scores:
PS and COS: John Williams, I'm afraid, at his worst. The scores are still damn good, but they are loud and in your face with little or no subtlety, especially where it's called for. That I am putting down as Columbus' fault though because of course the director does have a say and an effect on how the score's produced, and the score matches perfectly the garish simplicity of the first two films. And also because of:
PoA: This, IMO, is Williams' best work on any movie. The soundtrack for this was just beautiful, and not the typical Williams affair. Which is not necessarily an insult to his other work, as I am a big fan of his other stuff.
GoF: The second best score, IMO. Reflects the epic-ness of the movie. Very memorable soundtrack.
The main problem I have with Hooper's soundtrack is not that he didn't put music where it needed to go, or vice versa, or that he even wrote music that was wrong for it's respective scenes. Because I think he did all of that absolutley fine. My problem is the lack of memorable material, lack of material that leaves an impression. I'm not saying there wasn't any, the ones that stuck out most and that I would be able to hum to you after I walked out of the cinema were Fireworks, Professor Umbridge and Possession.
And Roupen, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying death scenes don't work with music. I'm saying they can and do work, SOMETIMES better without. It can, as i've already said, make it more poignant. It can, when there's been powerful, loud music with a sudden cut off, as it did in this, feel like a smack over the head. A shock, a surprise whatever have you. IMO, it worked, in yours it didn't. But it is a technique widely used across the music and film industry and one which I think can be used to it's full effect when you have a death scene on your hands.
I adore the POA score, it's so fresh (like most things were when POA came out) and Williams seems to have used all these mad ancient instruments to make these sounds that just correspond with everything else in the film. My favourite on the soundtrack is Buckbeaks flight, gives me goosebumps when I watch the scene, I also adore Secrets of the Castle and the Portrait Gallery.
Btw Wilbo, you're British like me right? Since Dawn Frech made an amazing fat lady, did you also imagine Jennifer Saunders as her friend Voilet? Getting drunk together in the monk's portrait. Sorry, I've been dying to ask someone that for ages, I just kept forgetting.
The part in Prisoner Of Azkaban when Sirius is talking to Harry "It's cruel that I got to spend so much time with James and Lily and you so little. But remember this, the one's that love us never really leave us." (I cried.)
Also the part on the bridge when Harry and Lupin talked.
In Goblet of Fire when Harry brought Cedric's body back.
In Order Of The Phoenix when Sirius died and Lupin was holding Harry. Also both times Sirius talked to Harry at the train station and in Grimmauld Place next to the tree.
Nothing really in Chamber Of Secrets. Maybe when Hermione got petrified.

Yes, I love the change in the style from PS/CoS to PoA. The first two had such...I don't know, American music. But like you said, PoA's soundtrack felt sort of ancient, organic and completely natural. And it was gorgeous.
I didn't actually, I didn't really picture anyone specific. But if they were ever to bring the Fat Lady in again, with Violet, Jennifer Saunders should DEFINITLEY play Violet. It's the perfect match, LOL
Of Course Cedric's Death is the best 1!

Thank you so much.
It's so sad because you know that by reading the books they wont be a proper family again.
And when Sirius is over looking the lit up Castle in Azkaban with Harry next to him and He's telling him that he wishes he could walk back through their a free man.
And of coarse when he dies.
I cried and cried and cried and cried when he died.
