PoA MOVIE DISCUSSION.

[Carol]

Potioncat:
> I paid particular attention at this part of the movie, because this complaint was made before. Honestly, it seemed to me that the crying noises had been dubbed later, and didn't even sound like Dan to me. So I was wondering if Dan/Harry was supposed to be crying in the first place.

Carol responds:

He had to have been, or Ron would have had no reason to want Hermione to stay back, and she'd have had no reason to gently remove the Invisibility Cloak. True, she xould have found him without the sobs just from his footprints, but what would he be doing just sitting out in the snow if not crying? I think the sobs, whether or not they're Dan's, were part of the script to begin with. (If they were dubbed, surely they'd get someone who can fake cry more convincingly?)

In the book, he just returns to Hogwarts unaware of what he's doing because his mind is racing (admittedly difficult to depict onscreen). Ron and Hermione are concerned about him because of what he's heard 9they heard it, too) and perhaps because he's pale or because of his facial expression and his silence. (Since the scene is written from Harry's pov, we can only guess what RH are thinking.)
