Hello all!
I was thinking of the Deathly Hallows movies, and realize there are many problems to overcome. Some are the film makers doing and some J K Rowlings.
The way the book is written, there are some issues with filming.
1. There's all the poly juice potion scenes. It seems as though they shot some scenes at the ministry and there were three "strangers" that will been H/R/H. It may be difficult in the film to adjust to these people and keep track of them. More problematic is the scene at Godrics Hallow. There is no way we will see two strangers here. We've waited all this time for Harry to visit GH and his parents graves. We need the emotional impact of Dan Radcliffe acting this out. Will H/H just show up there as themselves? (I hope they leave the 7 Harrys and Bella/Hermione ones in though)
2.The trio will NEED to apparate in the film, many times. It's never been mentioned they learned. Filmgoers know Harry has never apparated because of his reaction to doing it with Dumbledore. Will Hermione teach them at the very beginning to do it?
As for some of the many ways the filmakers have boxed themselves in
1. Sirius mirror-no show
2. Phineas Nigellus portrait-no show
3. No mention of the prophecy being overheard in Ootp or that it was Snape who overheard and told about it in HBP
4. No mention of Harry inheriting 12 GP or Kreacher
5. No sign or mention of Dobby since CoS
6. No Bill or mention that he's marrying Fleur (though that does seem to be in the movie) and the Weasleys house burning down!
There are more, and I have some ideas about these, but it will have to wait for another time. I need to put the kids to bed. What do you all think?
