David Yates spoke to MTV about a deleted scene shot for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I involving an intimate and tender moment between Ron and Hermione while the trio were on the run, which, thankfully, will make the DVD extras, out next year.

Aww,that sucks!But I guess they already had the Harry and Hermione scene...so that was enought tenderness in one movie! = )

I wanted to see more of the Wedding, Grimmauld Place, Rita Skeeter's Book, & the Extended Version of Hermione being tortured in Malfoy Manor.

i want a lot of deleted scene...anyone knows when the Part 1 dvd is coming out?

So we got an awkward Harry and Hermione dance scene over this one? Hmm. Glad we get to see it on the DVD though. Rupert and Emma have wonderful chemistry, and both of their performances in this one are phenomenal.

Shannon :hello:

That explains that one pic that was circulating a few weeks before the movie came out where it looks like Ron and Hermione are picking up rocks!
They could include the dance with Harry and Hermione for lightness but delete one with Ron and Hermione ( who ACTUALLY become a couple) that has lightness? Grr.

Well at least it will be on the dvd!! Can't wait to see it
My guess is sometime in March. I seem to remember when the movies are released in the theater in November, the dvd comes out around mid March.

First of all lets start off with how much I loved the movie. However, I am so, so, so upset I could cry at any moment, cutting a Romione scene is a big no! I totally agree with you Shining Star "They could include the dance with Harry and Hermione for lightness but delete one with Ron and Hermione"!

So when David Yates says "but it ended up on the DVD" does that mean it will be in the movie on the DVD or just as a deleted scene?

Why couldn't the get rid of the Harry and Hermione dance scene? I hated that so much. What would happen to Harry and Hermione when Ron left? We know what happened. It's in the book what happens. JK Rowling's ideas! :yes:

That makes me quite disappointed.. But at least I can see that scene on the DVD.

What a hypocrite!
He can find time for that stupid H/Hr dance scene to supposedly "lighten the mood" but he can't put in a great R/Hr scene.
I have lost all respect for the man.

PS He ruined H/G in OotP, HBP and DH, as well!

I wanna buy the DVDs as early as possible! :lol:

yay can't wait for DVD Hermione and Ron ><

Why couldn't he added it on the movie? It'd definitely satisfied us instead the H/Hr dance

But the deleted scene is from Haryy Potter I or II?

Yates why you didn't include it?¬¬

Yates should of kept this scene in! I love Ron and Hermione's relationship!

isnt this obvious?? yates wanted to create silent shipper war among harry potter fans..
for this moment, im forgetting that im an hp fan, and being a critic i must say that daniel has acted very "un harrily" in DH.. and more of the credit goes to yates for making him do things which are not like harry potter at all.. i dun know why he always kills the spirit of the film.. :(

He is just dragging out the Ron/Hermione thing which is unfortuante at this juncture but what can you do? I do hope they add the deleted scene to the movie on DVD so that we can see it in its entirety along with other deleted stuff.

awww that sounds sweet. Can't wait for the dvd

I highly disagree. I think that Dan has got the essence of Harry spot-on.

As for the Ron and Hermione scene? I don't know, I'd have to see. However, not being a "shipper" in the least (I don't particularly care for either of the romances - I'm more of an action person), I will have to say that I've always thought that strictly from an actorly standpoint - Dan and Emma have much better on-screen chemistry than Rupert and Emma. That's why I think they left in the dance. (also face it - even if you're hooked up with someone else, if you're on the road for weeks at a time alone with one person, not knowing if you're going to live to see the next day, well - in real life, Harry and Hermione would have been comforting each other a bit more)

That's a bit odd because there really wasn't any Hermione and her parents in the book, so how could you possibly complain on the one good thing that has been added?

That's the fun of books, it stimulates your own imagination rather than seeing it on a screen!

...

15 minutes! Oh boy I really have to buy it! When will the DVD come out?

Ooh, 15 minutes of deleted scenes!! That'll be fun to watch!! I am assuming that the DVD would come out some time in between the first and second part, correct?

I'm just hoping that those 10-15 minutes actually do end up on the DVD.

I'm not upset at stuff being cut out because there is more to film making than what we as fans may or may not want to see. If the scene didn't work with the tone or the pacing of the film at the point where the scene should fall then I can see why they would cut it.

Happy :) to know that I'm not the only one who's not that interested in H/Hr dance scene. <_<
Rupert might be so shy and quite, but he's a good actor and he and Emma do have a good chemistry. I think, H/Hr in the film have more romantic time than they are in the book.

Is Yates a H/Hr shipper?? I know it's silly to think about it.. :upside:

How exciting!!!! The DVD will be amazing! I just love the scenes in DH. I think Yates and his crew did a great job. Many Kudos!

I really loved the movie but I wanted to see when remus comes to Grimauld place and that he is going to have a baby with Tonks. And I am little disappointed with the wedding because those of my friends that haven't read the book still don't know who was getting married :blink: But I can't wait untill next movie :D :woot:

i loved the dance it was a light moment between friends..i thought it was good to show because it showed how stressed and tense it was to be on the run and how little they had any happy moments

i agree i would have liked to have seen more ron and hermione moments obviously because i love them but i thought there was enough little moments in the movie that im not in a this would make it or break it for me for the film..

if anything im more mad about harry not saying the line about hermione being like his sister..or the fact that no mention about harry's wand casting the spell on its own in the battle..or the lack of fear from voldermort.. or not even mentioning the other horcruxes possible locations while they are on the hunt for .. the horcruxes!

and i thought dan did a great job with harry <3

i wish they hadnt deleted the scene
:)

I tend to agree, but the fact that he shot it with the intention of putting it in the movie does say something about him at least. Don't forget, that scene isn't even in the book and he had no obligation to even shoot it, it was his own idea! And it's not like he added a brand-new cute Ron/Hermione stone-throwing scene just so that he could tick off Ron/Hermione shippers by saying he deleted it in favor of the Harry/Hermione dance scene. He shot it because he wanted to give the shippers another cute scene, and he thought it would be a great addition to the movie by showing Ron/Hermione starting to get a little more physical with each other. And maybe he really just didn't think that it fit in context, in the end. That whole sequence with Ron feeling paranoid and jealous and angry was pretty dark, and it did set up his leaving well, so maybe Yates genuinely thought this scene was just TOO cute and romantic in the middle of all that. At least the Harry/Hermione dance scene has a really sad and dark undertone to it that fits the movie.

Had Yates stuck with the book in terms of Ron dancing with Hermione at the wedding i would probably agree with you. However, even the small moments that Ron/Hermione had really wasnt enough and still left a lot of doubt there. I think adding the "stone" scene would of set it up perfectly because according to the book Hermione becomes "devastated" by Ron's dept. I think the stone scene would of made everything better personally. And of course the line about "Hermione being like a sister" would of helped dramatically as well.

I agree with that too, and yes, more context to Hermione's devastation (which I think was still portrayed very accurately) would always be a good thing. But as someone said above, there are so many different facets that go into making a decision on a movie, and I think the real problem isn't that Yates ships Harry/Hermione or anything, but it's just that he seems kind of disorganized and like he doesn't have a really clear idea of the movie in his head before he shoots. It seems like he's more the kind of director who likes to shoot a bunch of scenes and then string them all together in the editing room. So he was probably out in Scotland, thought "Hey, Rupert and Emma! I got a great idea, let's shoot some footage of you guys throwing stones together!" and then in the editing room, thought "Aw, this is a great scene, but doesn't really work in the movie like I hoped." We saw the same thing happen with the ending of Part I, where he had to change it last minute because it didn't work like he hoped it would. That's the real problem.

Yea, cant argue with you there. I dont know if Yates is a shipper or not but i think you hit the nail no the head in terms of if he has it planned out before shooting. I have no problems with the last two movies in terms of how they unfolded or were shot but this one seemed very chaotic in terms of direction for me. I do realize he only has so much room to put scenes in but the going back to the dancing scene i half way expected the song to be playing to be a more upbeat and light hearted tune. Now, if Harry is going to cheer Hermione up it would be that kind of song in my opinion not a more down trodden and weepy song. Either way, i just hope Pt 2 can rebound and finally clear the air of some of the sketchiness from Pt 1.

Why oh why wasn't that scene in the actual film?! I absolutely adored the scene of Harry and Hermione dancing but i think this went the wrong way around. That scene should've ended up on the DVD extras instead. I don't understand why they cut out scenes that actually follow the storyline of the book and then add scenes that aren't really in the story... well, that Ron/Hermione scene wasn't in the book either, but it certainly would've been more true to the storyline. But i don't want to complain too much, i loved the film and the dancing scene :) at least we'll get to see that deleted scene later. Looking forward to it :)

Do you think that WB will send an ultimate edition of this movie like with the first and second one? I hope so! Because if they do that we'll can see the scene include in the movie *_*

I thought the dance scene was a nice way to show how Harry is thoughtful of Hermione and wanted to cheer her up a bit (and as we see at the end it didn't work anyway). Because there's nothing worse than a miserable stop-Voldemort mission partner. :P

I hope that's on there! Besides, what happened to that bit during the wedding where Hermione is dancing with someone and Ron looks on jealously? [:/]

And we'll have to wait to see a bearded Ron during Part 2. :lmao:

YAY 15 extra minutes WOOHOO!!

People keep mentioning the lack of a Ron/Hermione dance scene at the wedding. Well, there really wasn't one in the book. Here's what happened: Krum sits next to the trio at the wedding and Hermione "looked pleasantly flustered". He asks about Lovegood and Ron says he's the father of a friend of theirs in a "pugnacious tone", then he "added abruptly to Hermione" "Come and dance". "She looked taken aback, but pleased too, and got up. They vanished together into the growing throng on the dance floor." Then of course Krum asks if they're together now and Harry says "Er - sort of."

But that's it. There's no description of any dance, they just go off together and the focus shifts toward Harry and finding out about Gregorovitch - which is the scene they *really* should have left in.:blink:

Fair enough, but i did find it odd that Yates actually filmed Hermione dancing with Krum (which of course he left out but may put in the DVD). The thing for me is that the whole R/HR relationship still remains stagnant to me and it really should of focused on them coming closer and although there were a couple of moments it just didnt seem any different than stuff we've seen before. I know what is supposed to happen in Pt 2 but i think Yates missed the boat with how he handled the relationship in Pt 1.

Aww that sounds so cute! I can't wait to get the DVD :D I kinda can't believe people are getting so angry though :lol: Come on guys, there were still some sweet Ron and Hermione moments like the piano scene! And him wiping the blood off her cheek! At least they kept the bit where they hold hands at Grimmauld Place :D And besides it not like you can't just watch that part on DVD :D Plus, lets remain positive maybe there'll be more Ron/Hermione in part 2! I for one, thought the Harry and Hermione dance was really touching, and I'm glad they added it to the movie :)

I cant speak for everyone else but im not angry about it. I still enjoyed the movie as ive seen it twice now since its release which i have never done with any of the other films. But, i did go into it with certain expectations and hopes which i felt they fell short upon. Wont stop me from loving the series or even watching it again i just felt it could of been way better. But like you, i did love the piano scene.

You took the words right out of my mouth. This is exactly how I feel. :yes:

Can't wait for the DVD and all those deleted scenes! Hope they'll release the DVD before Part 2 comes out.

Dissapointed
 

I hate that they had to delete any scene. I know it's unrealistic, but I'd love the whole book to be filmed!

I'm really glad they cut it. I love Ron and Hermione, but if it was that or the dancing scene I would gladly take the dance. We saw a lot of Ron and Hermione in the movie, and this scene sounds a lot like the one with the piano. I definately am very happy with the fact that they cut out the rock scene but kept in the dance.

i COMPLETELY agree with you. those were actually some of the things i hoped would be more apparent in the film.
but at the same time, i'm glad that they cut out this "tender" scene between ron and hermione because already there is so much being revealed about their budding relationship, that anymore would've been too much.
(it would've taken away from their final kiss)

:banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead: :banghead::banghead:WHY was this left out? It would have made the relationship's development more realisitc! As it is, the dance with Harry and the Horcrux scene sort of highlighted that Emma and Dan have amazing chemistry, and that translates onscreen for some people that Harry and Hermione belong together. Heck, even I'M beginning to believe that, since Harry and Ginny's relationship as seen on in the films is decidedly lukewarm. More was spent on his "relationship" with Cho! This one's going on my (already long and growing longer by the day) list of "Asinine Decisions Made by the Harry Potter Production Team".

Actually, he ruined those movies PERIOD, but that's another topic.

He cut so many important scenes from the book, why not cut another invented scene?

Deleted Scenes
 

I wish all the movies included deleted scenes on the DVDs!

This is actually a good Question will part 1 & part 2 be in the same dvd
or will they be in different dvds...

He is so stupid he kept this ridiculous dance of Harry and Hermione and deleted a scene with Ron and Hermione:gasp::no::huh::hairpull::(
I hate you David Yates

I'm telling ya - what I'm kind of starting to "hate" are all of these "shippers" who are so obsessed with Ron and Hermione and think the whole movie should be about them. Well . . . it's not, and neither is the book - not by a longshot.

I havent seen anyone say anything about the whole movie should be about them. They are simply talking about one aspect they really like and in this particular case about a scene that was deleted.

OMG! I wish they kept that scene in there. I'm so happy that they're putting a lot of extras on the DVD though!

That's not the point, not even NEAR the point. The point is that I think there is a rather vocal group of fans out there, myself proudly included, who are aggravated, disappointed, and flat out HURT by the fact that scenes that should be considered vital and pivotal to the overall arc that covers the seven books are being removed from the films, and being replaced by scenes of no consequence, scenes that bear no fruit involving the plot, or scenes that make no sense in the context of the films OR the storyline.

Aw, that sounds like a cool scene! Can't wait to see it.

gosh, i wish Yates had kept the R&Hr scene in. because i watched the film with someone that hadn't seen any previous movies, nor read the books, and my friend wondered what hermione even saw in Ron? he wasn't upset that ron left at all, other than abandoning his friends when they needed him. yates and co., had time to explore the R&Hr relationship, but they put the harry/hermione relationship in front of it.

YAY. I can't wait to see the stuff on the DVD :loved:

Aw! that would've been awesome to see!
Maybe they could have replace that with the dance scene in the camp?

Glad we will see it in the DVD but I feel they should of kept scenes like that and cut the hermione/Harry dance scene.

Just read the rest of the replies. Seems a lot of people agree that the hermione/Ron. Scenes should of taken the place of Harry/hermione scenes

How people who haven't read the books can interpret the story as jk has meant it to be confuses me

Wish that they hadn't deleted it... :( :P
