David Yates confirms two nude Harry scenes in Deathly Hallows
 

While it was announced earlier this week that Daniel Radcliffe would be appearing nude in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, more information about the scene has been released. Director David Yates, from the set, informed La Vibra that Dan doesn't get nude just once, but twice in the last installments, mirroring Harry's state of undress in the book.

Yates also mentioned a new scene added to the films, where Harry and Hermione are dancing (presumably after Ron leaves):

David discussed Dan, Rupert, and Emma's possible long-term career plans, from his perspective:

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows will be out November 19, 2010 and July 15, 2011.

GASP! TWOOO nedudy patoody scenes???

Dancing?! Well I'm curious to know about that but when is it exactly in the film after Ron leaves and why would they be dancing? Don't really have a problem with it I suppose as long as it's only friendly and nothing towards them getting together.

Well at least he's going to appear nude where he's suppose to be in King's Cross and I suppose for those that haven't read the books, it will be easier to understand Ron's jealousy with the nude scene added in...eh. Will Emma be nude too then?

I'm excited about the film but I wish the whole being nude wasn't brought out in a dirty way in that scene where they fight the Horcrux, it was all about the depth of emotions there; Ron had been gone for weeks, having no idea what could have transpired between his friends and his jealously always being there of course, but I don't understand why nudity is taken in that form by Yates. Nudity shoudn't be used to show sexuality etc. in HP because it doesn't always mean that. The real nude scene in the book where he dies wasn't a big deal because it made sense for him to be naked...nobody thought, ok so he's naked like OMG! It was like whatever for them because it wasn't dirty or nasty. Wish Yates would have been a little more thoughtful

Uhm...I wonder what this is going to be rated :lol: Definitely not 'PG' like HBP I'm guessing. It's kinda weird but I'm excited to see how the do this though! :D I don't really think it's that big of a deal :P And the dancing would be a bit weird but I think it would be sweet :)

I'm pretty glad he explained it so well. Sounds good.

I think I will skip these movies now.
Harry is supposed to be in love with Ginny yet, stupid H/Hr shippers Yates and Kloves have him in a nude scene with Hermione and dancing with Hermione after Ron leaves.
I HATE this!
When Ron leaves they are suppossed to hardly talk to each other, yet here is this dancing scene!
I am mad and will boycott both DH movies!

Whoa whoa whoa. Okay. I am sorry, but I am not really liking the sound of Harry and Hermione dancing. Why is this needed? I don't want another pointless scene like in HBP where the Death Eaters burn down the Burrow. (Don't get me wrong, that scene was okay, but really? It was a waste of time and they could have used that time to explain more about the Horcruxes) I am a big R/Hr shipper and Harry and Hermione dancing = no. But that doesn't matter anyway, everyone knows Ron and Hermione like each other. I just have no clue why they'd do a scene like this. Are they going to be randomly dancing in the tent? *confused and a little annoyed at the thought of another new scene*

awww.im a h/hr shipper and that'd be nice :D and yay at dan naked!!

I'm getting the feeling I'm going to hate these movies :(

Personally I don't really mind the dancing scene. For all we know it could actually be a very good scene.

I also like the fact that he explained the nude scenes better. I was confused at first.

I don't know what to think about this, but I'm glad that they're taking the 'Kings Cross' chapter serious, Dan is supposed to be naked there, and so he will.

However, Dancing in the middle of a war and right after their best friend leaves will be weird, but on the other hand a moment of fun, joy and it's also a moment of 'we need other things on our minds than only the war and fear of death' as well and i'm very interesting about those 'secrets' between Harry and Hermione......

Yates said the dancing is a new added scene wich is not in the book. Well, personally I think that is not a good idea, because in my opinion the extra scene in HBP (the fight around the Burrow) was utter useless. Why? because everyone knows the current circumstances in the Wizarding World.

But on the other hand, a new film, a new story but also the same, and new chances to learn from mistakes from the past.......

uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh ....

do they really need to have a nude scene to let people know how Ron will be feeling? gosh...I knew there was a reason I didn't like Yates.

Kids do not need to see that sort of stuff, and it's really not necessary. It just makes it look tacky and prove that the director wasn't creative enough to implicate that there's something going on between Ron and Hermione.

I wonder what Rowling thinks about this. I'd be right mad.

edit: Okay, read the interview... Sensual isn't really sexy though...so *phew*

Wow, I really liked this;

"It's very difficult to find a favorite scene, but something we just did as part of the movie truly is priceless. It's a scene where Hermione and Harry dance together and is not in the book - it's something we created for the film and is actually very tender, very nice and respectful, and they also reveal some secrets about each other while dancing," said Yates."

I think it would be a really... personal experience between the two, and I think it will be able to show the close - but not romantic - relationship between Harry and Hermione. It really is something two siblings might do; dance for fun and reveale secrets to each other.

I'm really excited because the secrets will be able to let us get into the minds of the characters more in the films, because we can't read how they're feeling or what they're thinking. It's up to us to interpert their acting, but if they reveal some secrets, it'll make it easier for us and give us a look into their minds.

And who know what the secrets will be. Personally, I'm hoping for some Harry/Ginny secret from Harry and some Ron/Hermione secret from Hermione. Maybe Harry will make her dance to cheer her up if the scene is after Ron leaves. (which I'm assuming it is) It would be a good thing for them to do, to release some of their stress and anxiety and heartache. I think it's actually a really good idea.

I think that, seeing as they have two almost three hour slots to fill, adding a small scene with the two dancing is not that bad. And really, we all know what exactly is going to happen because most who will go to see the films will have read the boks. With a new scene here or there that was added that was not in the book, it'll add a little excitment and energy and give you a feeling that you're not seeing something that you've read about before. It'll be something entirely new for you to see, which personally is very exciting for me. :)

Personally, I liked the Burning Burrow scene a lot in HBP, and I think people really need to let go of their annoyance at the books not following the exact order and sequence and such as the books. Be glad that the book is being split into two films and not that much will be cut out. Don't whine that they're adding a possibly only three to five minute scene.

Anyways, seeing Dan nude twice will be very interesting. I doubt very much that we'll see anything R or 18+ rated, since they'll lose at lot of their audience, but they'll probably show his striping down and above the waist and below the thigh shots.

I think what Yates was trying to say about the sexy kiss or whatever is that Harry will be naked because he just jumped into the lake to get the sword. I think the kiss is supposed to be sexy, with the Horcrux Harry and Hermione. Why would Harry be naked for the kiss? If you remember in the book, Harry strips down to his boxers to go get the sword, and then Ron sees an intense kiss between Horcrux Harry and Hermione. Maybe Dan will be naked to get the sword, not in the kiss. Try to think of all the possibilities.

By the way, I am a supporter of Harry/Ginny and Ron/Hermione and hate Harry/Hermione. I don't think they're oing to be showing support for Harry/Hermione. Period.

At the moment I am very upset about this little "dancing" scene! After Ron leaves, Hermione is utterly heart broken! I feel that the scene is saying something like "Well now that Ron's gone, we're much better off so lets dance together and forget all about him!"

I really hope if they are going to keep this in the movie that it's not right after Ron leaves and that it's not implying that Harry and Hermione might get together when in the book, they barely even talk! (after Ron leaves that is)

This is making me a little more mad everytime I read this over. I like Yates, but I don't love him. And this is the reason why I don't love him! Why? Why add a scene like this? But hey, maybe I'll like it... And as for the nude scene, I just don't see the point. Yes, it'll be "sexy" as Yates said ... but that's what makes me angry. He just does things that don't really make sense or they don't even go with the plot. And Harry doesn't even need to be naked for that. Ron would still be extremely angry if Harry kissed Hermione fully clothed.

OMG! I am so excited for the dancing scene :D I CAN'T WAIT !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank god their doing the kissing scene, now this !!! WOOHOO this movie sounds more and more better each day !!!!!

Most likely they would dance at the wedding if they are going to dance not just in the tent. Can we get an actual translation of the article?

OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!!!!!!!! I can't believe how infuriating this is!!!!! A dancing scene?? Harry and Hermione??? I mean come on people....Harry is in love with Ginny and Hermione is in love with Ron...why destroy the perfectly amazing storyline JKR wrote? HELLO we like it the way she wrote it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh God if the last movies are as inacurate as the rest I swear I'm gonna hunt Yates down for real!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay....I must calm down now....
About the two nude scenes....well I guess we all really know the point but I guess I'm gonna be the one to say it...after Twilight and New Moon and all the sexy vampire stuff they have to come up with something to compete......
Well, personally I don't mind about that...actually I'm kinda excited about that :drool::drool::drool::drool::drool:

Just don't ruin my H/G ship PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! At least I hope the H/G kiss will be better than that hidious peck on the lips we got in HBP!!!!!!!

If it's not for the wedding I fail to see where a dancing scene would fit in the context of the story.
*Thinks, thinks* >>>>>>>>>> Nah I got nothing! <_<

Glad he explained the nuddy scenes a bit better.Although I still don't understand WHY he needs to be nude for the horcrux scene.....But hey ho. *shrugs* We'll wait and see.

I don't exactly have a problem in the dancing scene. If they push it toward romance then yeah I will. But for all we know Harry could somehow be tryng to give some sort of comfort and Hermione admits she's in love with Ron and him Ginny or maybe they liked each other when they were younger but grew past it. It could be good.

Not sure about the nude thing. Hopefully this film will be pushed to Pg-13 again.

GUYS !!! Settle down, we all know who gets with who in the end. Just because Harry and Hermione are dancing together, does not mean anything. It just implies how strong their friendship is !!! I think it's an excellent idea :D I am not a fan of R/HR, and since I can't have H/HR together I think this is a great way to express their relationship :)

I think that little secrets like that would be cute as well and I think it's a good idea too. People are making this some big deal because they don't want it to look like they love each other. But I love their friendship and I think this scene will show how much they care for each other as friends! I am major H/G sjipper but this scene dosn't bother me at all.

As for the nude scenes...the King's cross one I definitely don't have a problem with it since he is actually nude in that part of the book. The horcrux one...eh I don't know yet.

Can't wait for the H/G kiss by the way!!

oH MY GOSHHHHH

Why the Horcrux became a magical creature?

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.

:P

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.

It's December!!!
 

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.

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.... :worried:

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...:lol:

Well done interview. :D And I figured the last Kings Cross scene would be nude, as in the novel.

IMO I think the dancing sceen will be around Christmas time. I am not sure how I feel about it though. I also do not think the other nude sceen will have H/H nude together I belive it refers to when Harry has to take off his clothes to get the horcrux from the water!

There is NO reason to believe they are dancing after Ron leaves. That's ridiculous. I have no clue why snitchseeker is assuming this. You are getting over excited for nothing ollie. Think for a sec. The dancing could only be at the wedding, there is no other place for it, and that's just to help set up the "I get it, you choose him" part of the story.

I swear people get there knickers in a twist SO easily! With just a few words! From only one interview!!!!!!

Now that it is explained better I think the nudity makes sense. the Horcrux is supposed to bring out these extreme fears in Ron and by making Harry nude I think it adds on to the extremity. the horcrux doesn't just bring out fears it makes them unbearable. harry nude kissing and holding hermione would be ron's biggest fear because he loves her and would be scared while he was away that something might have happened between them. i'm also sure they consulted JKR before they made this final so if its good for her its good for me
i think the dancing scene will not be happy like everyone seems to think it is. i think it will be sad. i think harry will be just trying to make hermione feel better and they'll end up dancing slowly and hermione will start telling harry about how scared she is or how much she loves ron. i dont think it will be romantic at all. more just to show the close friendship between harry and hermione.
i have complete faith in the cast crew directors and JKR to make sure these last to films are the best and i think people who say they are boycotting the movie should think about what they are saying. people have been angry when they hear about stuff the crew put in the other hp movies thats different but all the films have turned out fantastic. i'm not worried at all about whether they will do justice to this film and neither should any of you
Im sure Dan Emma and Rupert will perform these scenes brilliantly

The dance scene seems interesting, I'm not too worried about it, probaly only like 15 seconds long or something anyways if it's during the wedding, if its not, hmm that will be rather odd or it could be quite alright, I want more info on this dance :P

I personally think everyone who is freaking out over the dance and the nude scenes needs to calm down. I think the dance will be super cute and I am happy they are having that. By the way I am in no way a H/Hr shipper…at all. In fact I am a huge H/G and R/Hr shipper. This scene will show their close friendship and I like that because I am a big fan of their friendship. As for the nude scenes…I’m sure it’s not going to be anything over the top. Harry is supposed to be naked during King’s Cross and the horcrux scene dosn’t sound too bad to me. I am excited with all of this news and until we actually see the movie I don’t think we can judge. I have a feeling I will like this movie the best out of all the HP movies.

what the heck is with the dancing scene????!!!!!!
even in the wedding!
this is R/Hr! :r/hr:
not H/Hr!!!!!!
the other scenes im fine with tho
he was in the horcrux scene i think

Everyone seems to think that because there is a dancing scene, it's a happy moment. However, there are quite a few waltzes, for instance, that are very forlorn. There is also a dancing scene in Evita that is the Waltz between Eva and Che, something that is very passionate and heated, even as it portrays a very powerful scene of the fight between Eva's public figure and Che's representation of public view.

I've danced under the starlight to no music, simple and quiet, just to embrace the stars.

Storm and I have danced in friendship, sometimes to hold onto what little sanity is left to present itself.

I think there is no way to judge a dancing scene until we see it for ourselves.

OMG! Dan is going to be naked!

Obviously one occurs when Harry *spoiler* dies and goes to Kings Cross Station.

The other is the horcrux version of Harry and Hermione, so that makes a lot sense because what kind of clothes would two representations of voldemort's soul be wearing. It would be cheesy if they put them in all black or something lame emo getup. :D

The dancing scene sounds very sweet and I'm sure it will only add to Ron's jealously and make the locket scene more effective. Plus Harry and Hermione are tight like that so of course they would dance together. :happy:

Yates also mentioned a new scene added to the films, where Harry and Hermione are dancing at the wedding of Bill and Fleur (presumably after Ron leaves):

Logic would dictate that the dance takes place after Ron leaves the dance floor, not after he leaves the camping tent.

It was also never stated that the dancing took place at the wedding either, which is presumptuous in itself.

GOSH!! I disagree with the H/Hr dancing together...

I'm not sure how I feel about the dancing scene or the nude scenes, but I leave it to the producers to make it acceptable for almost all ages to see. I can't imagine that they would do it just because....

I copied and pasted the quote I italicized from your opening post.

what is wrong with the dance scene? Ron leaves the dance floor for some reason, he hasn't left theburrow to go on the search, harry and hermione dance as friends. whats the problem with that! If it feeds into Ron's insecuritiy about H/He, then it plays into the whole jealously thing he's feeling when he betrays harry by leavng them in the lurge, As for the 'dirty' scene as someone calls it. It's voldermort playing mind tricks, not a bloody tea party! and why does nudity equate to 'dirty'.It's a test for Ron's friendship . twice in the books he's let his feelings get in the way of friendship. Does he destory the horcrux or harry, does he trust Harry?
Time and time again we get this over reaction to something we haven't seen, only read about. Wait til the film comes out before casting such final judgements as 'i'm not going to see the final two films' talk about cutting your nose of to spite your face!

That was edited in by one of the other reporters, not me. Apologies for that, but I never implied it. What's there now is what I had in the beginning.

Well..on the first time I read it,I felt sick. But,slowly I can take it a bit..If we think the bright side,it will okay.. We must keep support their plan and support all the people who involved in the film to do their best for J.K Rowling's creation.
And I love "Rupert, definitely in acting." thing.. :D

Urm... I think I actually like these changes. :'D

I'm a fierce H/G shipper, but the dancing scene between H/Hr sounds really cute. They're close friends, it's a symbol of respect and adoration for what they are. A nice way to show their friendship throughout the film.

BUT NOW I HOPE THAT THE H/G KISS WILL BE IN IT XD!!
(Or else I'll be Avada-Kedavraing someone. *evil laugh*)

And I can see why they couldn't JUST STICK TO THE BOOK . They are supposed to be almost deprest not dancing around! If they are already messin with the book then maybe they should add scines abouth other caracters when Harry is not around.There is already enough good material for Harrys caracter in the books( we see everything thru his eyes)!
Scenes with Snape at Hogwarts :snape2: , Hermione destroying the Horuxes (We don't know what she saw :r/hr: , Harry wasnt there) ...............................................

David yates is an idiot!
 

"something that feels very sexy" Haha...how funny...

But seriously, what is this? Starkers ville!

"It's very difficult to find a favorite scene, but something we just did as part of the movie truly is priceless. It's a scene where Hermione and Harry dance together and is not in the book - it's something we created for the film and is actually very tender, very nice and respectful, and they also reveal some secrets about each other while dancing," said Yates."

WHAT THE HELL IS THIS ^^^^^^! Gah! David Yates, the respect you finally earned back from me has just disappeared again!


"Daniel will probably continue acting or directing. Rupert, definitely in acting, and Emma, if she wishes, could be a movie star or whatever she decides to be because she is very talented and very intelligent."

This makes it sound like Dan and Rupert sre stupid!

Yes, THANK you! I was saying earlier that I didn;t think the interview sounded very authentic - in fact, it doesn't sound like Yates at all. People, let's wait for a real confirmation from WB or an english video interview with Yates instead of referring to a poorly-translated and probably misquoted article by some obscure 'news' source!

WOW! COOOL! EXCITING! EXCELLENT! ASTONISHING! BRILLIANT! FANTASTIC! PERFECT!
DAN AND EMMA ARE THE BEST COUPLE EVER, but Harry and Hermione are just REALLY REALLY GOOD FRIENDS! So don't be mad R/HR shippers Ron is Hermione's husband NOT HARRY.OK?
Hi to all Dan/Emma shippers!

someone may say, you can't expect them add nothing new in three hours movie or you can't expect director to exactly follow the book~~~~understandable~~~however, can't they at least present something with clear storyline or make sense?? for example HP3 added a lot of new things into the movie and looked awesome~~~~but in HP7 with H/Hr dancing~~doesn't make any sense at all!!!

And here they go again, one of my friends already said she'd defiantely not watch DH~~~~may lose me as well if they continue doing so~~~

So r/hr don't dance at the wedding, which is IN the book. But h/hr dancing is added to the film? Oh, that's fair. *rolls eyes* That's what really ticks me off. They gave their dance to H/hr. Actually, they've given a few things to H/hr.

And if it's to show Ron's jealousy like some people are saying, then WHY wouldn't ron BE there, witnessing them dance? It's like a slap in the face to ron, and showing that H/hr are ok and can be happy without him is FALSE. They should be miserable FFS. They barely even talked to each other after he left, why are they freaking dancing? harry and hermione would not dance anyway, and they're not as close as the movies make them seem. R/H are the best friendship in the books really. And as for these "secrets" they BETTER involve Ron/Ginny and not some BS about how h/hr used to like each other because that was never the case. Plus, it would change the damn plot. The viewer is supposed to see that it's only in ron's mind that they like each other, not that they like or ever liked each other. "She's like my sister, always has been though you knew" hello!

ok rant over. :P

I like how he described a Horcrux as "a magical creature." Haha! Definitely not. But I suppose Horcruxes are rather complicated to explain.

I don't like that there's an added dancing scene with Harry and Hermione. I wish that they'd just stick to the book.

presumably after Ron leaves presumably after Ron leaves presumably after Ron leaves presumably after Ron leaves presumably after Ron leaves presumably after Ron leaves presumably after Ron leaves presumably after Ron leaves presumably after Ron leaves presumably after Ron leaves presumably after Ron leaves presumably after Ron leaves presumably after Ron leaves presumably after Ron leaves presumably after Ron leaves presumably after Ron leaves presumably after Ron leaves presumably after Ron leaves presumably after Ron leaves presumably after Ron leaves presumably after Ron leaves presumably after Ron leaves Read it until you understand what it means. stop freaking out because they scene MAY be there. Its not a big deal and what if it is a scene that ron is seeing in his head because of his jealousy

i agree with you 100%.... 'nuff said.

Great balls of fire, this is getting ridiculous. EVERYONE is being so presumptuous with regards to the dance scene. Nobody said it where it was, and nobody said Ron and Hermione wouldn't dance at the wedding either! And as far as what's relevant to the book, when's the last time the filmmakers listened to the fans with regards to what THEY want to see, rather than the studio heads who write their paychecks? But seriously people, C-A-L-M D-O-W-N. Everyone is getting their knickers in a bunch over something that, compared with some of the fairly blasphemous additions and deletions to the films when translating from the books, is pretty minor as far as I'm concerned. Why do so many people care about a dance between Harry and Hermione, yet I didn't hear anywhere NEAR this much of a stink when Tonks and Remus got cut down to one scene, the Burrow was burned down, the Gaunts and Hepzibah Smith were left out, the Dursleys were left out, Harry and Ginny's kiss was a grade-A FAIL!, Dumbledore's funeral, Bill's attack, the backstory of the Marauders, Marietta Edgecombe, Neville's role in the prophecy, the botched revelation of who the HBP was, Fudge meeting with the British PM, not getting to see Snape teach his DADA classes....should I go on? Because IMNSHO, these scenes that were deleted and changed around were of far more vital importance to the entire septology of the Potter universe than a single scene of Harry and Hermione dancing in circumstances we're not even fully aware of yet! :hairpull::hairpull::hairpull:>:/>:/>:/:arg::arg::arg:

Nude?? Woweeee, that should be interesting :P

a new scene??? I have never been more excited about added scenes??? Dancing? that should be cool... I love H/Hr relationship...i love how confusing it can be... I am SOOOOO lokking forward to this...to DH in general of course...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!! :)

I has to be while ron is gone...that is when in the book h/hr are close and interesting together...when i read the book i felt the tension so now they are taking it to the screen with some added details...also when ron is there they are the TRIO when he is gone they are a duo and they dance and reveal secrets to each other...it makes complete sense...at least to me :)

Maybe it will be around christmas...they are alone in the woods, depressed, lonely, sad, stressed out...all of that contributes to their closeness, to their realtionship, yes at the end is only Friendship...but well... there is a point in the story when they are each others only thing in the world, there nothing else apart from each other, because of what they are doing and going through...i like it...i love the idea of it all...

I don't think it makes much sense at all tbh.

I don't remember this much nudity in the books. As long as we don't see "anything" I really don't care. If anyone wanted to see "Harry's wand" THAT badly, they would have seen Equus.

WHUT

Oh dear Lord.

H/Hr dancing randomly? NO

End of.

GASP!! lol wow nakedness :whistle:

I was hoping that they would make these movies actually close to the books but I guess not! TWO nude scenes AND dancing with Hermione?! Why the HECK can't they just get a good director to make the movies close to the books and just stick with H/G and R/Hr?! I don't believe it!

Wow. You must really love H/Hr. Hah. But they barely even talked after Ron left. Harry himself said he loves Hermione like a sister.

Of course we're all mad about all of those cuts! I'm extremely angry at the lack of information on the Horcruxes! So this new scene with Harry and Hermione is just being added to my pile of Angry Thoughts. We don't need a new scene. There are more important things than a dancing scene. Seriously. But again, I may end up liking this scene. Just gotta wait until I see or until Yates talks about it. I do hope it'll be brought up on the Live Chat they're doing...

Yates also mentioned a new scene added to the films, where Harry and Hermione are dancing (presumably after Ron leaves):

it's going to be part of the wedding, just dancing between two friends and talking about Ron and Ginny

Haha! As CoMC Professor I have to say that got a huge laugh from me as well. Maybe I'll teach a lesson on the Horcruxes in some future term. :xd: Not likely, huh?

Thanks for the info guys.

a magical creature? like, are they making it a magical creature, or has he just got it wrong?

harry is a bad boy, nude scenes!
that's a little out there, i mean dude this is harry potter
but harry & hermione dancing sounds really nice, i mean they're best buddies
they need to have a moment together, but how would they fit that in?
ron's just so left so hermione is upset, so maybe he's trying to make her feel better,
that's what i'm guessing

well the speculation also makes the movies more fun

I knew the last potter would be rated R...j/k. It's gonna be pg13 w/dan naked.

The added scene sounds sweet and I can't wait 2 see it

That sounds very interesting. I'm really curious to see this dancing scene..

The King's Cross scene... maybe, but the other invention still bothers me a lot. I really don't find the point other than a very distasteful publicity stunt, which the film certainly doesn't need.
