Fortunately not. Neville kills Nagini, remember? She never reenters
the Shrieking Shack or anywhere else, thank goodness!

Why can't I type that word?]for him to bleed to death (though the
audience may think it's the venom that kills him). It doesn't have to
be graphic, just effective.

amount of the important scenes that were omitted, I am not so sure
that the picture of Nagini striking will be there necessarily IMO.

Carol:
Well, they'll need to make it clear that he's killed by the snake and
not by a spell, and he has to release the memories and ask Harry to
look into his eyes, so I don't see how they'll avoid showing the
blood. It will be a scary and horrifying scene even if they treat it
like Nagini's biting Mr. Weasley in the OoP film. (Not as horrific as
Bathilda!Nagini, though. I wonder if they'll show that?)

it is totally Okay for example if Trio comes upon Snape already 
bleeding and then he gives the memories. Not that I care one way or 
another, I mean, I do in a sense that I am easily scared LOL, but I
can close my eyes if I wish.

Carol responds:
I don't see how they can cut that scene, if only because it leads to
the Pensieve scene, which is Harry's reason for sacrificing himself
rather than trying to kill Voldemort. I also think that the whole
atonement/remorse/forgiveness/forswearing vengeance theme is crucial
and without Snape's death and Harry's forgiveness of him, that crucial
element is missing.

But, yeah. You can close your eyes, and I expect you'll want to more
than once. Even in HBP, there's the scene with the Inferi. And imagine
if they depict Regulus's death in the DH film. The Inferi actually
pull him into the water. Poor Regulus! At least his brother got an
easy death.

Carol:
Yes. Voile! And, speaking of easily scared, I wonder how they can make
these films, especially DH, suitable for viewers under nine or so
without ruining them for adults. (BTW, I didn't find the OoP Dementors
scary at all. The ones in PoA, with their scabby hands, were much
scarier.)

Carol:
Then we agree. I think Snape's head being pulled into the bubble will
be scary enough, thank you!

Carol, imagining herself screaming like a little kid in the theater
and embarrassing everybody
