I mean, if Harry and Hermione are dancing at the wedding (As FRIENDS) then thats sweet. But if they don't have Ron and Hermione dance, I WILL FREAK.

OMG! TWO! If I tell my mom... SHE"LL NEVER TAKE ME! AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Geez, does Yates know what hes doing?



OO YA! HE'S CRAZY! CRAZY PEOPLE DON'T KNOW WHAT THERE DOING! OMG!

Well I think it's a RUBBISH idea!
They DID NOT have that kind of relationship!
Harry says she was like a sister to him!
Dancing is used to symbolize romantic feelings!
I think this is being done to lure in all the disgruntled H/Hr fans who probably hated the book and didn't want to see the movie because it ended up H/G and R/Hr.
They are giving them something to bring them to the movie and it, totally, disgusts me.
I hope on this question link next week, some fans take Yates to task about this nonsense and tell him to stop all this H/Hr trash and make sure we get a proper H/G kiss in DH to try and make up for the pathetic effort in HBP.

In order for Harry and Hermoine to dance, they will need music and they don't have potterwatch yet so how is it possible? I can imagine Harry trying to ease the tension and make Hermoine feel better by getting her to dance with him they while its pouring rain outside after Ron is gone. Personally I really wished Harry would do something to make Hermoine feel better in the book rather than just avoiding her.

I hate it when movies change it!! For one thing, I don't remember Lucius Malfoy at the Quidditch World Cup in GOF (tell me if i'm wrong) but really, dancing, WITH HERMIONE??

It might be okay with you because you're a H/Hr shipper and from what I can tell, a Dan/Emma shipper too. I, on the other hand, am a R/Hr shipper and this little dance is making me uneasy. I just do hope that they're adding this in to show how good of a friendship the two have and that the "secrets" are that Harry loves Ginny a lot, and Hermione loves Ron a lot.

You said it my friend! Ron and Hermione MUST dance. I thought that part was so sweet. They just have to or my heart will be crushed. (Like how it is right now at the thought of Harry and Hermione dancing together.) The way I see it, if Ron and Hermione don't get a dance in the movie, then Harry and Hermione don't get a dance!

I'm really getting tired of all these unnecessary changes. Having Harry naked twice, the H/Hr dance, ...

Don't get me wrong. I have nothing against H/Hr moments. I love their friendship but they way they write it in the movies really damages the dynamic of the trio, in my opinion. I don't see the point of making their Horcrux!kiss more sensual than it actually was in the book ("their lips met"). Ron didn't need so much to react. And what could they talk about while dancing ? Their respective feelings for Ginny and Ron ? That was already done multiple times in HBP. Plus, in the book, they barely talked to each other during Ron's absence.

I'm sorry but why must they always diminish Ron's importance in Harry's life (and in Hermione's) ? Ron is Harry's best friend just as much as Hermione is. Ron's the person Harry would miss the most. They're like brothers. I'm tired of them making it seem like Hermione is Harry's one true friend, the one who never makes mistakes. Having them dance after Ron left, if it turns out to be true, is just insulting.

I trusted David Yates after OOTP but HBP was, in my opinion, a disaster. Wasting precious time on useless added scenes (the waitress scene, the Burrow burning down), reducing/cutting out crucial parts of the story (DD's funeral, the battle, the Half-Blood Prince and the Horcruxes) and ending the movie with Ron standing in the background, remaining silent while Hermione speaks for him made me angry. I fear the same thing will happen with those two movies.

That being said, this is only my opinion. I might turn out to be completely wrong. But, if I'm not, I will be furious. I guess I'll just have to wait and see.

That is so right! I mean, H/Hr dance is fine it shows friendship but husband and wife also need a dance. But still, the 2 nude parts. It says nothing about being stripped clean of clothes in the book! If there not going to show the bad parts of the body then at least have something covered up there. I know he has done it before but he is doing it in front of people he knows in this and its kinda embarrassing.

Could it be that the dancing scene is at Bill & Fleurs wedding? An excellent opportunity for Hermione to talk about Ron & Harry to talk about Ginny.

I'm glad that they're making these movies legitly, like with the King's Cross Station. And I'm sure the dancing has nothing to do with any sort of romantic attraction between Hermione and Harry. It'll be nice, they're best friends, and im sure they'll work it into the movie in a way so that it's not completely out of the blue and wierd. I can't wait for the movies to come out!

I'm pretty sure that this is like when harry and hermione are in a muggle town and hear a christmas song and dance, its probably before godric's hollow and then they trandform to the muggle couple and they probably talk about how he misses Ginny and she misses Ron and how shes was devastated, something like that idk

Well, HBP was quite good ( no where NEAR as good as the first 4 movies, though. A 3/5 at most). But a few extra scenes should be quite interesting. Plus, JKR doesn't describe every single day after Ron leaves. She clearly writes "There were days when they both hardly spoke to each other." Maybe during one of those sad, moody days, they danced together! Besides, Harry and Hermione are more than friends- they are like brother and sister, and have never had any romantic feelings toward each other. So the scene will probably be really sweet, really innocent. Either way... CAN'T WAIT FOR NOVEMBER 19!!!

I am really angered. But, I will admit that I hardly have a right to be as I do only know the bare bones of the situation. I do not know what is happening in detail. However, I feel as if I have a right to be annoyed by this - I'm beyond annoyed. Steve Kloves has screwed up again. Big time. And I actually liked David Yates because when he directed Order of the Phoenix, he actually brought canon back to the movies. He had the characters with the right personalities. And I respected David Yates. I do still respect him, but after hearing this, I must say, that it has slightly reduced. Maybe even more than slightly. I will just have to see how things go.

First I will start with the nude scenes. This is going to be PG-13 no doubt. It will not be anything lower (too intense), nor will it be anything higher (loss of revenue, and we know how much that means to Warner Brothers). I am 99% sure that Daniel Radcliffe's erm... parts will not be shown in the movie. It will just be above the waist, and below the thigh shots. That is not too bad. I do remember that he appears naked once in the books. Once in the King's Cross chapter. I also remember that he is not naked, nor is he supposed to be, in the chapter of the Silver Doe. In that scene he has simply stripped down so the clothes do not weigh him down. He has stripped down to his underwear - not nothingness. D. Yates talks about sexiness of the scene. Sexiness? I must ask, what is sexy about - never mind. There are two possibilities about the nakedness of this scene. One, it is where Harry strips down to prevent being weighed down by his clothes. Two, it can be horcrux Harry - which I very much doubt. I doubt it because it logically makes more sense in option one. Option two - I'll get to that right now.

Okay, so according to Yates, horcrux Harry/Hermione are "kissing and embracing". In the books their lips met. The words: their lips met. And then Ron finished the horcrux off. There was no embracing, there was no kiss. There was no sexy stuff either. It was not hot, nor was it supposed to be. It was meant to be evil, and a heartbreak for Ron who already had insecurities to begin with. He did not need more of the letdown, and always being put in the shadows of his siblings, and his best friends really would be a big pain would it not? So the Harry/Hermione kiss is not supposed to be hot at all.

And now, finally, a very widely debated topic on websites everywhere. I'm not kidding, I've seen it literally everywhere: the Harry and Hermione dance. Before I say anything, I will tell you that I am trying to speak from as neutral a point of view as possible, as I am indeed, a Ron and Hermione shipper. No, I do not know the details of this, so I will be considerate when I speak of this. And this is merely an opinion of mine as well, and I would appreciate if you thought about what I am going to say.

The dance could be located anywhere in the movie. Nobody knows, and it is not mentioned. A lot of you assume that it is after Ron leaves. If it is when Ron leaves then that does mess up the personalities of the characters a lot. Due to the fact that Harry did not do much to comfort Hermione in the books, if he suddenly decides to dance with her in the movies, he will not be as shy or scared as he appeared to be in the books. He did not provide much comfort to her then, so it would be pretty mucked up. Not to mention the fact that Ron is now gone, and Hermione is heartbroken and thinking that he might never show up again. She might be thinking that she lost him for good. It would not be a very sensible area to add in, and I would really mind this.

Another location possible for this particular scene could be the wedding. Bill and Fleur's wedding. I think that it would be more sensible and much more possible that it would be added here. Ron and Hermione (hopefully) have a dance in this scene, and Hermione and Harry could have a dance here as well. I would not mind this too much as they are purely platonic friends, and dancing would not be unusual here. I personally believe that the scene would be added here. Here they could also tell each other whatever secret they want to.

Speaking of secrets, I have a few speculations. If they have secrets, then they would have no reason not to tell Ron. Harry's best friend is Ron. As much as he considers Hermione his best friend, he considers Ron his much closer best friend. So, if what he tells Hermione, he cannot tell Ron, then it probably is about Ginny. Hermione, if she cannot tell Ron this secret, then it probably is about Ron as well. If it is some next random secret then I will be very annoyed. Yes, I will be because Ron is as much a best friend to them as they are with each other. So, yes, I believe that their secrets are indeed about Ron and Ginny.

In conclusion, I must say that I do not believe that this will be too bad, provided that they put in the proper scenes in the proper areas. I believe that we should not jump to conclusions. I must say that I was really angry when I started to write this, but I am loosening up as I am concluding. Writing this made me realize that there is so many possibilities, and we should not be closed minded about this. Perhaps it will add up to be good. Oh, and do not forget to consider the books and the movies completely separate things, otherwise you will definitely be disappointed. That is what I have chosen to do, and there is definitely less disappointment now. And now I'll conclude my 1, 062 word speculation.

The way I think it could go down is that Hermione is devastated that Ron is gone and Harry says let's dance or something to cheer her up and maybe then Hermione says something like Harry dont take this the wrong way and then Harry says I know you wish I was Ron you were dancing with and then Hermione nods her head and says to Harry I am so in love with Ron it hurts. Sorry R/Hr shippa here and really would love to see it played out like that!!! I am not gonna judge anything until after I have seen DH's. DH is gonna RULE!!!!!!!!!!

personally, I think that the dance is fine unless they take it too far. the radio is probably on in the tent or something and they talk about their various relationships... unless it gets all h/hr i'll be fine.

As for the nude scene, I wish they could just stick with the king's cross scene, because everyone will be like "oh look, harry's naked again, oh gosh..." he could just take his shirt off for the horcrux thing or something.

oh and question, in the book, why wasn't he able to cast impervius, and then he wouldn't be so cold and wet...?

If harry and hermione are kissing and one or both of them are naked, I may just have a fit, because that is quite sketchy

And with this, these movies continue to screw over canon fans with complete BS like this. Not to mention screwing over Ron.

So let me get this straight.. we don't get a sweet R/Hr dance at the wedding(one of the best r/hr moments), which is in the book(GOD FORBID WE EVER USE WHAT'S IN THE BOOK KLOVES) but we get a random H/hr dance that WASN'T? AFTER RON LEAVES?! That's gonna send the wrong message and make it seem like harry and hermione don't need ron. They were miserable when he left, the whole point was to show how they needed him and he needed them. But no - let's have H/hr dance their cares away, bye bye Ronniekins!

Seriously. These people who make the movies are effing idiots.

Erm, is it just me, or does this interview sound a little...unauthentic? I know it's a translation and all, so that accounts for the odd way in which some of the things are phrased, but if you look at David Yates' other interviews (and i've seen/heard/read a LOT), you notice that he doesn't sound ANYTHING like he does in this interview.
Yates has this very calm, soft-spoken way about him and would not blatantly say that Harry would be naked for a 'sexy' scene just to get a reaction out of Ron.

I think that whoever conducted or published this interview is taking things out of context. (Come on, for one, Yates would NOT make the mistake in saying that a Horcrux is a 'magical creature'). I think they are tryign to make it seem as though the Horcrux Harry and Hermione are engaging in a very sexual nude scene. I think the nudity just pertains to the fact that (as was the case in the book) Harry stripped down to his boxers to get in the frozen lake. Is there a love scene between Horcrux him and hermione? Probably. But I highly doubt Horcrux Harry will be portrayed as being naked.

Don't blame Yates yet people - let's see the movie and get some confirmations either that what Yates said in the interview was quoted properly or at least get a better translation.

I totally agree! I hope hope HOPE that it'll play out like that. I'm fine with that then. As long as they mention Ron and talk about how she loves him or something to show that she's not into Harry.

I hate how they screw Ron over too =( I mean, what kind of ending was that to HBP (movie)? I admit, it was nice, but Ron didn't even speak, he just sat there and smiled a bit. I hate how every dang conversation that Harry has is almost always with Hermione. I know she's the smart one and all, but really? Ron is always left out in the movies.

Not to mention there are probably more H/Hr moments than there are R/Hr. That makes me very annoyed. If they do NOT put in 1) Ron and Hermione dancing at the wedding 2) Ron's and Hermione's fingers inches away from each other while sleeping in Grimmauld Place and 3) Ron calling Hermione's name in Malfoy Manor - I will go crazy on Yates and Kloves. Let's just hope that Deathly Hallows will have more R/Hr moments than H/Hr!! =D I'm not going to like it when Ron leaves the two of them...

- End of rant -

I bet the dancing scene will be at godric's hollow when they hear the joyous music outside of that one church.... as long as it's not romantic, I would be fine with it. It might be a very sweet insight into the two characters.

And people need to CALM DOWN about the nude scene... Guarantee the movie will be PG-13, and they will probably do the scene very tastefully. Yates has got my full trust after watching HBP

Well I mean I'm sure they won't put the dancing scene right after Ron leaves. Hermione basically spends most of her time crying and is really upset that Ron isn't there. They've got to include how much Ron and Hermione care about eachother, otherwise it will just be...stupid. I think Yates understands that and he'll make the scence fit properly into what's going on in the movie.He knows that this is the final film and if he screws it up not only will us Harry Potter fans be mad but that's it, he can't redeem himself. I'm really hoping they don't make the dance too romantic and just forget about Ron (like they do alot in the past films). I guess I'm just not going to judge until I see the movie for myself :/

Ummm...o-kay....

I read the original article, and it doesn't sound as bad as the translation makes it out to be. The "nudity" will probably be just like goblet of fire, maybe a rear-end in the Kings Cross part, but I don't think they'll go full-frontal. As for the dancing thing, it might be at Christmas Eve when they go to Godric's Hollow.... just putting that out there. Well, I know they're working hard, so I'm sure whatever they make will be brilliant.
All this news is making me incredibly excited for DH. Can't wait till November!

THANK YOU! Wow, this is quite polarizing. For all we know the dance scene might be Harry's way of trying to cheer Hermione up after Ron's left. And as far as the nudity goes, I have zero problem with it. For once, it sounds as those the additions will enhance rather than detract. Like I said in another thread, it's not nudity for the sake of nudity, it serves a purpose. It's not like this is going to be Showgirls or a Tarantino film for Pete's sake!

sorry emma now you have to kiss rupert and dan

oh well! this movie will be amaaaaaazzzzzzinnnnggggg!

woaw...there is gonna a be quite a change here....harry and hermione dancing...no comments about it but let us see...bring it on DH! waiting...
