Carol earlier:
> > Also, can anyone help me with Mrs. Cole's words? I can understand
"Since he's been here, he's never had a visitor," but not what comes
before that.
>
> Jen: Wah. I wrote a long message with snipped comments, etc., and
lost it when my computer shut down. :(
Carol again:
I hope your computer problem is fixed! That happened to me several
times last year--turned out to be a faulty power supply, which,
fortunately, was covered by warranty. I can't tell you how many times
I've lost message on various Yahoo groups for various reasons thar I
won't go into here. Anyway, I sympathize and empathize.
Jen:
> Mrs. Cole: "In all the years Tom's been here, he's never once had a
visitor..."
Carol responds:
Thanks. That's what the shot-by-shot analysis that I linked to in the
movie group said as well, so it must be right. Also, now that I know
what she's saying, I can "hear" (understand, interpret) her words. I
don't know whether it's my ears, the sound quality (does HD relate
only to the video or to the audio as well?) or just my relative lack
of exposure to British accents other than "received pronunciation." (I
have no trouble understanding Hagrid, though.) Anyway, did anyone else
find Mrs. Cole difficult to understand?
Jen:
> I agree that's Greyback, Kemper, because there's a throaty growl
when the guy comes on-screen.
Carol:
Yes. so do I, just from the look of him. And Ginny, on closer
examination, has been hit by an Expelliarmus--her wand flies out of
her hand. I'm afraid that's the added scene, which suggests,
unfortunately, that thy'll leave out "The Flight of the Prince." I
hope I'm wrong!
Jen:
And Carol, I looked at a cast list and only see the Carrows & Yaxley
from the DEs we met in HBP. Guess that means they'll take liberties.
Carol responds:
I agree that they;'' take liberties, but I imagine there will be some
unnamed DEs in the fight with the Order members and the DA (Ron,
Hermione, Ginny, Luna, Neville). The DEs in OoP aren't all named,
either. Interesting, though, that the named DEs (plus Greyback) are
the ones on the tower. That scene will probably be by the book, but,
obviously, the long conversation between DD and Draco will be
shortened. They always cut the exposition (too much, in OoP, IMO). I
expect that the hospital scene will be cut, too, since Bill isn't in
the cast.
Jen:
> Oh! One interesting thing is Regulus is in this movie, something
about appearing in a photo in Slughorn's office and some other scene
the actor can't reveal. (Tom Moorcroft is the actor). <snip>
Carol:
Yeah, I know. We talked about that on the other list. I guess they
realized that Regulus, who'd been omitted from the OoP film, had a
small but important role to play in DH and had better be introduced
somehow!
Carol, noting that Narcissa, Slughorn, and the actors who play them
have also been discussed on the Movie list, along with various photos
that have appeared online, if anyone wants to check it out
