First post! Interesting........

I'm rereading the last book, and I'm on the chapter where Harry, Ron, and Hermione are planning to infiltrate the ministry; in other words, this scene. I'm excited to see it, 'cause it's so early in the story, and I think--if done well--this scene can be a big-time clincher for the audience. There's a lot of suspense in this one scene alone (in the entire movie, actually). Will they get caught? Crap! That's Umbridge and a bunch of Death Eaters! Yeah, this is gonna be good; and it'll be nice to return to the ministry after Ootp and see how much it has aesthetically changed. They have so much time and space in this movie to achieve all the action and all the dialogue-driven scenes, and I believe it will all balance out nicely. I doubt there will be a scene in this movie where people will get bored, just because there is so much going on, and just enough time to do it(unlike in Goblet of Fire).

i cant wait to see this scene. i wonder when we wil get the 1st DH trailer.

This part in the book was epic, frustrating and heart pounding. I hope they can translate those feeling while watching the movie.

I essentially agree with all the previous posts. :P I really hope they do well with acting like the Trio, and I think they are on the right path to doing that by studying those characters. I wish that dude would actually *read the books* though... Maybe they could make it a rule that everyone has to read the books before acting in the movies....???

Who's Reg Cattermole?

I think it's really cool that they took time to study the trio's mannerisms! I can't wait for this movie :)

I"m so excited to see this sequence in the movie!!! I love it in the book! It's so intense and suspenseful! I hope he at least watched the other films since he wants to learn Rupert's mannerisms...that would help a lot. I saw a clip of them filming this scene with the trio and it looks like it's going to be so amazing!! I can't wait!!!

Reg Cattermole's the guy Ron impersonates in order to infiltrate the Ministry in Deathly Hallows. * I still can't get over the fact that it's Dave from Gavin and Stacey. When I see the film I'm half going to expect him to walk on and say "Eh, Ness, what's occurrin'?" in a Welsh accent.

this was a great scene in the books, and if it's half as exciting in the film it'll be good. i'm glad to see they're trying to keep the mannerisms of the trio in acting this. i have high hopes for it.

Mottocat, it wouldn't be necessary for Mr. Rhodri to have read all of the books for his role.

are they going to keep these actors voices when ron harry and hermione turn into them?

I agree with Mottocat, I think the actors should all read the books. I hate it how they don't feel the need to. I think Michael Gambon should especially, but Alan Rickman does a nice job without reading them.
