> Some posters wonder, and rightly, IMO, why this Pensieve scene is
different from how those scenes are shown in the books and in the
previous movies. Harry is supposed to be present there, walking after
DD and witnessing the whole thing. Harry was present in GoF Pensieve
scene, he also was in SWM scene in OotP, but was cut, together with
Lily (I bet now they regret cutting her :-)), after they decided to
"shorten" the scene. But he is absent from this one. I wonder if they
thought Harry's presence would have distracted the viewers from Tom-DD
conversation.
Carol responds:
It could just be the camera angle, with Harry and the older Dumbledore
following at a distance and off-screen most of the time to keep the
focus on the flashback. I don't think we can judge from the teaser.
Harry's face pressed against what looks like water is different from
previous films, though.
Maybe they'll put Lily (and a differently dressed Harry) back into the
SWM scene in DH. Maybe they realized that Lily would be important
later. Or maybe they'll have to recast her if she now looks too old
for the Teen!Lily scenes. (Guess I'd better not expect too much of
"The Prince's Tale," though. They'll cut as much as they can without
losing the point of the scene, including possibly the whole juvenile
portion.)
Carol, focusing on HBP now and wondering when the Prince himself is
going to show up in all this publicity (setting aside his Potions book
one or two photos of Snape previously shown)
