В журнале EW появились новые фото Гарри в Гринготтсе, Невилла с мечом, Волди и Беллы в Хогвартсе и трио в Хогсмиде. Заодно повешу сюда же вчерашнюю фотосессию Джинни и парадный портрет семейства Малфоев.
Пили сегодня весь вечер с Бритвой за грядущий отпуск, и, вылезши в тырнет, внезапно обнаружила в черновиках валяющийся там с воскресенья пост с кадрами из ГПиДС-1 и игры по 7-му фильму. Повешу уж, пусть будет.
В сети появились новые фото - Гермиона и Крам на свадьбе, Орден Феникса в Норе вокруг раненого Джорджа, Гарри и Гермиона в Лондоне и поцелуй Гарри и Джинни.
Ровно через 10 дней в это время наш самолет должен будет приземлиться в Майами. Так хочецца побыстрее убежать от этого надоевшего снега к тамошним +31, сесть на белый пароход и поплыть к экватору...
Спасибо Морриган за ссыль на то, что фирма Medicom Toy собирается выпускать куклу Профессора в масштабе 1:6. Гарри они уже выпустили - к премьере 1-й части 7-го фильма.
Я их хочу!
ЗЫ. Пошатавшись по тырнету, нашла, что кукла Гарри на одном из японских сайтов стоит 211 баксов, на другом - 169.
В Чикаго прошел предварительный показ ГПиДС-2, и зарубежные новостные сайты наперебой рассказывают нам о том, что мы увидим во 2-й части 7-го фильма.
Очень хочется надеяться, что кто-нибудь добрый и знающий аглицкий язык переведет для широкой аудитории то, что под катом.
Пока что напишу коротенько о том, что касается Профессора. Заранее простите мой промтовский))
- Фильм начнется с того, что покажут директора Снейпа, который из окна башни смотрит, как студенты под присмотром дементоров маршируют во дворе замка в стиле третьего рейха. - Будет показана сцена противостояния Гарри и Снейпа в Большом зале. - Будет дуэль Минервы и Снейпа, Снейп убежит в окно через облако черного дыма - но без снейпообразного отверстия. - Мы не увидим, что Нагини укусит Снейпа. - В воспоминания Снейпа добавлена сцена, как он находит тела Лили и Джеймса в Годриковой лощине. Игра Рикмана в этой сцене названа чуть ли не лучшей во всем фильме.
Апдейт №2. TLC выложил подробный рассказ о показе. Снарри-сцена в Большом зале все-таки будет))
читать дальшеThis afternoon, I was lucky enough to be among 400 other movie fans to attend a test screening of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2" in Chicago, Illinois. Rumors had been circuiting around the internet about this screening, but confirmation that it was Harry Potter didn't come until just before the film started. Since this was a working cut of the film, many effects and scenes were not finished. At least 50% of the special effects were still in the CGI rendering stage, and green screens were visible throughout the film. Also, a number of specific shots were title cards on the screen as placeholders for the full, finished shot or effect. The film itself focuses on the battle to defeat Voldemort. Three quarters of the film takes place at Hogwarts during the final battle for the school. Hogwarts is torn down around us with the violence brought by the thousands of Death Eaters, army of spiders, giants, and dementors. Even without all of the special effects complete, you can already tell how grand and cinematic the final product will feel. The second half of the "Deathly Hallows" film is an action-packed adventure where good and evil come together for the final showdown. The way Harry moves through the film, discovering what he needs to know in order to ultimately destroy Lord Voldemort is paced perfectly, even if the journey he takes is not what was outlined in the book. Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint continue their high caliber of performances as Harry, Ron, and Hermione from the first part of the film, but Alan Rickman (Snape) and Maggie Smith (McGonagall) really do steal the show. Snape gets to become a fully emotional character in this film, as evidenced via the phenomenal Prince's Tale memory sequence, slipped into the ranging and bloody battle for Hogwarts. Snape is a heartbroken shell of a man when Lily is killed, and we see every level of those emotions in Rickman's performance. The Prince's Tale scene is one of the best moments in the entire series, and stays with you long after you leave the theater. The look of the film suits its mood and the kind of action which takes place; the battles are raw and dark, the lighter or tender moments are warm, and the glow of the Epilogue seems radiant after an hour of nearly non-stop battles, death, and destruction. Following a short montage of Voldemort taking the Elder Wand from Dumbledore's grave, the film opens with Hogwarts Headmaster Snape observing as students are marched, in lock step, across a courtyard in the castle. We are then taken to Shell Cottage where Harry, following the burial of Dobby, speaks with Griphook and Mr. Ollivander. Warwick Davis does extremely well as Griphook and gets to truly flesh out the conniving goblin part of this role. The film moves quickly onto the Gringotts heist scene, where we see excellent work by Helena Bonham Carter who picks up on Emma Watson's nervous sighs and mannerisms as she pretends to be Hermione pretending to be Bellatrix. For the first time in the films, there is a special effect used to fade Harry and Griphook in and out of the scene under the invisibility cloak. Harry and Griphook become translucent in several shots in order to indicate their invisibility and location in relation to the others. The cart ride down to the Lestrange vault offers more loops and spins than the most intense roller-coaster out there. At the bottom of a particularly deep cavern we see the old, abused, and neglected dragon guard, as--clangers in hand--the group makes their way into the vault. Inside, the multiplying artifacts quickly make the massive room cramped, but allow Harry to ride the growing tide of objects to retrieve the Hufflepuff cup. While all the special effects were not 100% finished, this looks to be one of the coolest sequences in the film. After escaping from the vault, Hermione jumps on to the spiny back of the dragon--Harry and Ron close behind--and rides the creature out through the glass-domed top of the bank over London. We get the first of many mind/memory connections between Harry and Voldemort in a riveting intercutting of Voldemort killing a large number of his Death Eaters with Harry, Ron, and Hermione swimming their way to shore after dropping off the back of the dragon. It seems as if the Malfoys are the only ones standing after the Dark Lord learns of Harry's trip to Gringotts and takes his anger out on his followers... even Griphook doesn't make it out alive. In this mind/memory connection, we see a quick glimpse of the Grey Lady and Hogwarts in Voldemort's mind, informing Harry on his next move. Setting off alarms as they apparate into Hogsmeade, the Trio are beckoned inside by Aberforth. Ciaran Hinds gives an excellent performance as Aberforth Dumbledore, and even manages to resemble and emulate Michael Gambon's Albus Dumbledore. Hinds' scene at the Hog's Head is chilling as he delivers a monologue to Harry, trying to convince him of Albus' uncaring actions towards Harry. All the while, the portrait of Ariana sits over Harry's head, observing the scene before being sent off to retrieve Neville and reveal the passageway into Hogwarts. A bloody and battle-worn Neville leads them into the castle where the final battle really starts. In another fantastic scene which follows, Harry reveals himself to the assembled school and calls Snape out on his murder of Dumbledore. Before Harry and Snape can duel, McGonagall pushes Harry to the side and engages Snape herself. They whip spells back and forth before Snape turns himself into the inky Death Eater smoke and smashes his way though the Great Hall window... without leaving a bat-shaped hole, sadly. While Harry searches for the Grey Lady, with some sage advice from a surprisingly forceful Luna, McGonagall and the other teachers secure the school. Smith does a top job here, commanding the Knights of Hogwarts to defend the school... a spell she almost giddily admits to being one "[she] always wanted to do..." A forcefield of protection domes the school, which, we later find out, has the power to disintegrate Death Eaters on contact. Neville has an early BA moment where, alone, he faces off against an army of Death Eaters unable to get past the protective charm. "You and what army!?" he cries. It is here we can see the rebel leader Neville has become. For the last hour of the film we are taken along a series of interconnected journeys and battles that are mixed in with flashbacks and mind connections between Harry and Voldemort. It is truly impressive to see how so many different characters and sequences are tied together. Nothing in the last hour felt either sloppy or pieced together. It flowed so well it was as if you were panning around the castle seeing elements of everything happening at once. There are flashes of Percy Weasley, Trelawney, Sprout, and other familiar faces fighting alongside the Order. The entire last act truly feels as epic and thrilling as you'd want it to be. A particular highlight is when Aberforth casts a mega patronus over the castle and grounds to repel a swarm of Dementors that are about to envelop the castle. In a change from the book, a number of shots were added to the memory scene showing Snape at Godric's Hollow, discovering the dead bodies of Lily and James. Snape falls to the floor upon seeing Lily's body, and then cradles her in his arms, sobbing, as the year-old Harry Potter looks on from his crib. Rickman's scenes with Michael Gambon (Dumbledore) also hit the mark, showing the backstory of Dumbledore's search for the horcruxes and Snape's love for Lily. Young Snape, Lily, and Petunia have been cast perfectly as well... even young James Potter seems to have been captured the way Snape's character remembers him from the book. In Snape's death, Rickman gives a chilling performance along with Ralph Fiennes, who goes on a Death Eater killing spree as he learns the last bits of his soul are being systematically destroyed. A man who will stop at nothing to live forever, Voldemort slashes at the air in front of Snape, which results in a thin trail of blood to start staining the white collar of his cloak. Nagini then bites Snape multiple times, shaking the glass window onto which Snape has collapsed. We see this from the outside of the Boat House where the Trio are crouching out of sight. As mentioned above, the Prince's Tale memory is the emotional high point for the entire film series. It flows beautifully among the battle going on around Harry, and allows for a quick breath and dose of reality for Harry. Lasting for about six minutes, the sequence was set to the temporary score of "Dumbledore's Farewell" from "Half-Blood Prince" which worked beautifully in this edit, even though it is sure to be changed for theatrical release. From Young Snape meeting Lily under an old and decaying monument of a tree and their relationship before and during school to James' bulling of Snape and his pain upon discovering their deaths, the entirety of his history is depicted in these scenes. In the category of 'applause and cheers moments' falls Bellatrix's duel with Mrs. Weasley. "Not my daughter, you bitch" is delivered exactly how one would imagine it, and their fight atop a raised platform in the Great Hall is a momentary show stopper. This is juxtaposed with the heartbreaking moments when we realize that Fred, Tonks, and Remus have all been killed. J. K. Rowling's source material is used nearly verbatim in the forest scenes. Harry walks into the forest, after passing off the duty to kill Nagini to Ron and Hermione, and discovers the resurrection stone in the snitch. His parents, Remus, and Sirius continue with him until he faces Voldemort. A white flash brings us to King's Cross with a fully clothed Harry, Dumbledore, and the red, slimy, breathing thing that is a piece of Voldemort's soul. The film maintains the illusion that Harry is dead until he leaps from Hagrid's arms in the Hogwarts courtyard. Narcissa is seen checking for signs of life, but none are visible at that moment. The final battle between Harry and Voldemort spans the last fifteen minutes of the film, which is intercut with Ron and Hermione's attempts to kill Nagini. They do not deprive Neville of his moment, however, who stands up to Voldemort and gives a rallying cry to keep fighting for Harry even after it is thought Harry is dead. Neville steps in to kill the snake seconds before it is set to pounce on Hermione and Ron. Harry and Voldemort's final duel is as wide-ranging and epic as the rest of the film's action. It goes so far as to have Harry grab a hold of Voldemort and send the pair careening off a tower into the depths, forcing Voldemort to fly with Harry across and through the castle. In the end it is just Voldemort and Harry facing each other. With Nagini, his last horcrux, finished, Harry is able to end the Dark Lord's mortal life with a spell as simple as "Expelliarmus." The wand flies from Voldemort's grasp into Harry's hands, and Voldemort slowly decays into dark nothingness. In the final shot of Harry, Ron, and Hermione as seventeen year olds, they are shown standing together looking out into the expanse of the future, while the crumbling remains of Hogwarts sits behind them. Nineteen years later, Harry seems to have aged a bit more than the others, but Ron's figure is noticeably plumper round the middle than before. The dialogue between Harry and Albus Severus was taken directly from the book and delivered beautifully. Following the screening I was able to speak with David Heyman who commented that they may tweak some elements for the sake of clarity, such as the succession of the Elder Wand occurred in the story. These alterations, Heyman said, could happen in a flashback or memory sequence. The working cut of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2" showed the talents of the filmmakers and actors involved in the creation of this film, even without every element being 100% complete. I can only imagine how much more amazing the finished cut will be when it premieres in theaters this July.
Апдейт. Огромное спасибо Спектру за перевод!
ПереводДиректор Снейп смотрит из башни на студентов Хогвартса, которые маршируют а-ля Третий Рейх в замке, охраняемом дементорами. Начинается фильм с разговора Гарри с Грипхуком и Олливандером в коттедже "Ракушка". Затем - сразу сцена в Гринготтсе, где Хелена Бонэм Картер играет Гермиону под Обороткой. Есть забавный момент, где Беллатрикс пошатывает на высоких каблуках. Сцена в хранилище Лестранжей - такая же, как в книге, куча предметов размножается и заполняет комнату. Над драконом из Гринготтса хорошо поработали дизайнеры (ах, какой у нас дракон!) - он старый, потрепанный, за ним явно плохо ухаживают. Связь между Гарри и Волдемортом используется для охоты за хоркруксами. Гарри заглядывает в разум Волдеморта, чтобы узнать об оставшихся хоркруксах. Когда Волдеморт узнает об ограблении банка, он приходит в ярость и убивает нескольких УпСов и гоблинов - в том числе Грипхука. Только Малфои остаются в живых. Меч Гриффиндора исчезает прямо из руки мертвого Грипхука. Трио аппарирует в Хогсмид, где их спасает Аберфорт, похожий на гэмбоновского Дамблдора. Над камином портрет Арианы, рядом с ним - второе зеркало Сириуса. Сиаран Хиндс отлично справляется со своей маленькой ролью. Гарри противостоит Снейпу в Большом зале, когда тот обращается к студентам Хогвартса. Макгонагалл и Снейп устраивают дуэль (один из фантастических моментов для дамы Мэгги Смит), и Снейп убегает в облаке черного дыма через окно (к сожалению, без дыры в форме Снейпа). Начало битвы, когда Макгонагалл и другие профессора поднимают над замком силовое поле, невероятно эпическое и цепляющее, даже несмотря на то, что готова не вся компьютерная графика. Макгонагалл призывает Рыцарей Хогвартса, доспехи спрыгивают со стен Большого зала и встают на страже ворот Хогвартса. Будет длинная сцена между Гарри и Серой Леди (которую хорошо играет Келли Макдональд) - он убедит призрака Равенкло рассказать, где находится потерянная диадема. Рон и Гермиона спустятся в Тайную Комнату и уничтожат клыком василиска чашу Хаффлпафф, после чего наконец поцелуются. В кинотеатре громко аплодировали. Вместо Крэбба в Выручай-комнате будет Блез Забини. Погибнет Гойл. Трио видит смерть Снейпа в сарае для лодок у озера. Волдеморт перерезает горло Снейпа Сектумсемпрой, после чего Нагини несколько раз бросается на Снейпа и кусает его. Мы не видим нападения змеи прямо - только через окно, где стоит Трио. Трио возвращается в Большой зал, где видит тела Фреда, Люпина и Тонкс (их смерти в фильме не показаны). Рон рыдает над телом Фреда. История Принца: Гарри смотрит воспоминания Снейпа в кабинете Дамблдора, все выглядит очень эффектно. Мы видим встречу Снейпа и Лили в детстве, потом распределение в Хогвартсе, судьбоносные разговоры Снейпа и Дамблдора о Гарри и - самое печальное - Снейпа, который находит тела Лили и Джеймса в Годриковой Лощине. Лучшая игра Алана Рикмана в фильме, а, возможно, и во всем сериале. Беллатрикс и Молли сражаются на приподнятой платформе в Большом зале. Молли произносит свою фразу про сучку (под БУРНЫЕ аплодисменты), после чего убивает Беллатрикс. Спецэффекты не были закончены, но, если верить субтитрам, заклинание разорвет Беллатрикс на несколько кусков.
ОригиналTLC The movie clocked at almost exactly two hours, without end credits. The screening was an open secret on Twitter so a lot of fans attended (most seemed to be aware the "unannounced" screening was of Deathly Hallows, as there were leaked photos of the line outside the theater. The film was very much a work-in-progress, with less than half of the visual effects finished. A good portion of the film was in green screen or a form of CGI renders. Unfinished shots of the film were marked with placeholders or title cards, such as "Sweeping wide shot of castle." After a quick reprisal of the final seconds of Part One, the film opens with now Headmaster Snape looking out from a tower at the regimented Hogwarts students, as they march in Third Reich-ean lockstep across the courtyard of his Dementor-guarded castle. We begin with Harry at Shell Cottage as he talks to both Griphook and Ollivander, as in the book. The film moves quickly from Shell Cottage to Gringotts Bank, where Helena Bonham Carter (Bellatrix) manners herself off of Hermione, who has taken polyjuice potion. There is a funny moment where Bellatrix (who is really Hermione) wobbles as she walks in Bellatrix's high heels around the bank. The scene inside Bellatrix's vault occurs as it was in the book, with the objects in the vault multiplying and overtaking the room. There was very nice design work on the Gringotts dragon, which is old and rickety and shows serious signs of abuse and neglect. The connection between Harry and Voldemort is used quite often in this film, especially in the hunt for the horcruxes. Harry uses his insight into Voldemort's mind to identify most of the remaining horcruxes. When Voldemort learns of the bank heist, he goes on an enraged killing spree of several Death Eaters and Goblins-- including Griphook. Only the Malfoys are left alive, and the sword of Gryffindor is shown vanishing from Griphook's dead hand. The trio apparates to Hogsmeade and saved by Aberforth, who looks considerably like Gambon's Dumbledore. We see Ariana in the portrait above the fire place, and the other half of the Sirius' mirror set on the wall next to her. Ciaran Hinds is excellent in his brief role. Harry confronts Snape in the Great Hall, while the headmaster is addressing the Hogwarts students. McGonagall and Snape duel (one of several fantastic moments in the film for Dame Maggie Smith), and Snape escapes via a cloud of black smoke through the window... without the bat-shaped hole, sadly. The beginning of the battle--with McGonagall and the Professors conjuring a protective forcefield around the castle--is as epic and stirring as we could have imagined, even with CGI elements missing. McGonagall summons the Knights of Hogwarts, who jump down from the walls of the Great Hall and lineup to stand guard at the entrances of Hogwarts. There is a lengthy scene between Harry and the Grey Lady (very nicely played by Kelly Macdonald), as he tries to convince the Ravenclaw ghost to reveal the location of the lost diadem. We follow Ron and Hermione into the Chamber of Secrets as they use the basilisk fang to destroy the Hufflepuff cup, after which they finally kiss. The theater cheered quite loudly. Blaise Zabini takes Vincent Crabbe's place in the Room of Requirement sequence, and Goyle is the one who perishes via the Fiendfyre. The trio witness Snape's death in a boathouse at the edge of the Hogwarts lake. Voldemort uses Sectumsempra to slash Snape's throat, after which Nagini repeatedly attacks and bites Snape. We don't directly the snake attack directly, but via the Trio's point of view outside the boathouse window. The Trio return to the Great Hall, where they see the bodies of Fred, Lupin, and Tonks. (Their deaths are not shown in the film.) Ron breaks down and sobs over Fred's body. The Prince's Tale: Harry views Snape's memories in Dumbledore's office, and this sequence was nothing short of spectacular. We see Snape and Lily meeting as children, their sorting at Hogwarts, Snape and Dumbledore's fateful conversations about Harry, and--most hearbreakingly---Snape discovering Lily and James' bodies at Godric's Hollow. Alan Rickman gives his best performance yet in the series, and possibly the best in the film. Bellatrix and Molly have their showdown on a raised platform in the Great Hall. Molly gets her signature line in (to RAUCOUS cheers and applause) before delivering the killing curse. The effects here were unfinished, but if the subtitles are to be believed, the spell will blow Bellatrix into several pieces. Neville gets not one but multiple B.A. moments in the film; not only the Nagini scene, but an impassioned rallying speech in the courtyard, and fending off hoards of Death Eaters on the wooden Hogwarts bridge. The final showdown between Harry and Voldemort is much extended from the book, as Voldemort chases Harry throughout several different parts of the Hogwarts castle. At one moment, Harry throws them both off a high tower, and their duel reaches its climax in the castle courtyard. The death of Nagini is held until the last possible moment, and Voldemort disintegrates into nothingness as Harry's wand overtakes his own. The epilogue is included, but only Harry looks noticeably aged while Ron and Hermione look hardly a day older than the rest of the film. But it ends the series on a satisfying, emotional note, ultimately closing on a shot of the smiling, content Trio as they watch their children depart on the Hogwarts Express.
MuggleNet
Thanks to MuggleNet reader Mercedez, we heard about a mysterious test screening taking place in Chicago this weekend. Based on test screenings WB has held for Potter in the past, we assumed that the time and place was right for this one to be Deathly Hallows - Part 2.
We were very nervous going into the screening as we still didn't know whether or not it was Potter. Once director David Yates had entered we knew we were at the right place. He was joined by producers David Heyman and David Barron and editor Mark Day.
Since this screening took place so far in advance, we know you don't want to be spoiled. We're keeping this report as spoiler free as possible. A separate report will follow at a later time with spoilers if you wish to read them.
The film was exactly two hours in length. The plot line followed the book plot line better than the other films had. While you may think that two hours is short (especially compared to the other films), we actually found it to be a very satisfying length.
Fans will be pleased with the adaptation when it comes to the crucial scenes, but at least one important scene left us feeling underwhelmed.
The large majority of this film is the Battle of Hogwarts. As interviews had revealed in the past, the battle itself is close to a hour and keeps an impressive pace. Intermixed with the fighting is, like in the book, Harry's hunt for the remaining Horcruxes.
It was interesting to watch Voldemort and Harry's reaction to each Horcrux being destroyed. In the book we see Voldemort's rage as he realizes what is going on. This is brought across nicely in the film.
Unlike in the book, we get to go to the Chamber of Secrets with Ron and Hermione.
You'll find that the filmmakers attempted to insert humor into the plot at some points. While the book doesn't strive for those laughs, the film does. It's understandable that the filmmakers did this as it's what makes a good movie. There are a couple of times where the laughs - in at least one of our opinions - was not needed. This part of the story is obviously very serious and the large amount of action makes up for the need for a laugh or two.
Two surprisingly prominent characters in this film were Neville and Professor McGonagall. They both have shining moments that will get the theaters cheering.
Harry's decision to go to Voldemort is easily one of the best moments of the film. You're pulled into his realization and execution and it will make you emotional.
The Epilogue is bittersweet, but several people who saw the film say they wanted to see more.
Snape as Headmaster is great. Alan Rickman puts on his Snape character more than ever when it comes to the way he speaks.
An interview with Ciaran Hinds suggested that Aberforth Dumbledore's role in this movie was a "blink and you'll miss it appearance". This is not the case. You see Aberforth for a good bit of time, but there are adjustments from what's in the book.
Overall, this film is quite the thrill and will live up to the expectations of most fans. A couple of changes left us bothered, but we won't get into those here. More to come!
Братцы Ворнеры обнародовали четыре новые вырезанные сцены из 7-го фильма: Гарри в облике Ранкорна предупреждает в лифте Артура Уизли, прощальное рукопожатие Гарри и Дадли, трио говорит о хоркруксах и расширенная версия сцены, где гудшип кидает камни - с Гарри в палатке.
В сеть просочилось видео с начальной сценой ГПиДС-2 - Гарри разговаривает с Олливандером о Дарах Смерти. Братцы Ворнеры очень резво удаляют это видео с ютубовских аккаунтов, так что смотрите, пока оно еще цело))
Помнится, кто-то когда-то возмущался огромными баннерами то ли ШХ, то ли еще кого, рвущими фленту. Чую, скоро и нам придется ваять баннеры формата А4 и писать там мелким почерком все правила очередного мероприятия. А то, при наличии на баннере Хагрида и Добби, догадаться о том, что речь идет о мини и макси, оказывается, очень сложно
