| | | Bill & Fleur Deathly Hallows wedding scenes filming begins August 10 Thewlis Rox were notified by staff members at the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry, which is currently hosting the first leg of the Harry Potter Exhibition tour, that some of David Thewlis's costumes for Remus Lupin were sent back to the UK, as the actor will be required to wear them for Bill and Fleur's wedding scenes in Deathly Hallows. Quote:
Additionally, staff at the museum notified us that one of David's outfits at the exhibition was recently shipped back to England for David to use/wear during the 'Wedding' sequence. That particular scene begins filming on August 10, 2009.

So now she would be about 20/21 when she marries Bill.It seems that alot of wizarding couples get married young,nothing strange in that.And it follows the book. |

It's basic film language; showing instead of telling. Books can get away with exposition, moreso than movies. Which is why I hope that scene with Neville, in DH, where he's guiding the trio, doesn't just include him telling them what they've been up to. They should show Ginny, Luna and Neville's shenanigans in a montage, at the very least, especially with two films to fill! That would actually be very cool, almost like the way they will most likely do that for Dumbledore's life story.

The wedding scene is very key, and I'm glad it is being left in the movie. It just wouldn't have been the same if it had been cut.

*runs away before she gets shouted at* No, I quite agree with you as well! They'll probably have some reference to the Burrow burning down in DH, unless they decide to have the wedding somewhere else, but that just wouldn't do! But yes, I agree with you all the way!

I hope it is at the Burrow but if its been burnt down it will be interesting to see how they re build & return it to the final films.

OK, we've seen shots of Bill with his face all slashed up from certain scenes already shot, how are they gonna explain that, is Greyback gonna be one of the ones who attacks?

I agree with what ppl on here are saying about the burrow burning down ...it was interesting for the film BUT
they should just have stuck w/ JK's material cuz they really messed up on a lot of the parts in the film. If they penetrated the burrow already then why couldnt they just kill Harry or take him hostage or something. There were so many things the death eaters could have done. There were member of the Order of the Phoenix there for god's sake! Kill them all is what they should have done! Plus where the hell was Ron in all of this if he was in the house wouldnt they have to run in and get him!!!! He was still inside and they were all standing there watching it burn!
It didnt have the "magic" that the previous movies had, excluding OOTP (which's the worst HP film yet). The burrow is a very homely place and they shouldnt have gone that far as to burn it...im just glad they're holding the wedding there.
In addition, isnt the burrow penetrated in the 7th book???!!!! That's when it matters. Anyways the following scene had no connection to any other scenes afterwards. It burned and they went back to school and lived happily ever after???!!! They put in an extra scene when they could have put in a KEY scene they forgot!!! What happened to the diadem when Harry hides the book? They couldnt jst have Harry hide the book and touch the diadem!!!! How are they gonna find it if Ginny is the one who hide it! Harry had NO idea where the freaking Diadem is. That wouldnt be hard! WOW i really went off topic there! lol.

Well, I already knew they confirmed the wedding scene. I dunno how it'll turn out, though. I've been let down too many times.
Ooh, August 10th? That's one day before I start school.

I disagreed with the burning of the Burrow....it was absolutely unneccessary.

WOW i really went off topic there! lol. Once again, Amen, and AMEN! It would have been like, to draw a fantasy parallel, the Nazgul burning down Bag End in Hobbiton. The Death Eaters in HBP showed about as much menace as Anakin Skywalker did in Attack of the Clones. These people are supposed to be, to draw a HISTORIC parallel, what the SS was to Hitler. God could I go on for months and months about just how much this movie ATE.

Yay! I'm looking forward to this scene immensly! However, it is going to be very very confusing for those who haven't read the books; there's been no mention of Bill and Fleur's engagement in the movies. But oh well, should still be awesome.

I understand why they needed the burrow scene in the sixth but it shouldnt have replaced the ending. Im so excited about the wedding. I wasnt sure if it was going to be in because they never introduced Bill. The wedding symbolizes that there is good in the world even though its surrounded by bad times.

That argument can be made for the books too - why not try and kill Harry earlier than May/June, every year? It's because we know the narrative would be dead as well, otherwise. Those are points at which you're asked to suspend your disbelief, yes even in the novels.
You just said it yourself; Ginny. If that means she doesn't hide in the RoR for the entire battle, like she does in the book, I'll be happy. Quote:

What is strange, is everyone marrying their high school sweethearts. But, you know, some of them could have got divorced *cough* Harry and Ginny *cough*. Quote:
I think we'll have to agree to disagree though, this scene is quite polarizing!
I see your point, too. I like that the scene is there, and I see its intention but, like you, I think it could've been executed a bit better. But, at the same time, I can sympathise with Kloves, because in a magical world, it is difficult to come up with something that cannot be undone by waving a wand, or administering a potion, etc...

Well, I have to agree, I was never so sad as when they burned down the Burrow. And I didnt realize until I saw it, how big the Burrow really was.... Its a great movie, even if they killed my favorite character. Glad to hear that the burrow wil be rebuilt in time for the wedding..lol...:luvpot:

Easy.  . I swear I did NOT hear that...might have had to do with the large daiquiri I had next to me, and the fact that my friend and I were cracking jokes at the screen the whole time.

So exciting! But doesn't David get a new costume?  Actually Remus is supposed to be shabby so I guess not...it seems kind of stupid that they've included the wedding and maybe the attack as well because the Burrow was attacked in HBP. Repetitive possibly?
