Welcome to Gaia! ::

I'm anxious about the movie, as always. I don't expect it to measure up to the book, because none of them really have. I always worry that they're going to cut out my favorite scenes, and so far they have without fail. But I am pleased that the pensieve scene, one of my favorite scenes in the entire series, won't be cut. So I'm looking forward to that. 3nodding

I think Luna and Umbridge look okay.

I think this movie may follow the book closest because, not to totally dis the 5th book or anything, but despite the fact it is the longest the least amount really happens in it. So unlike past books that were action-packed, this one is a little slower.

The following scenes are confirmed to be in the movie:
-Harry teaching the D.A. in the Room of Requirement
-Ron and Hermione practising spells together (for the shippers no doubt)
-Hermione blasting Ron against a wall due to a 'patronizing, sexist comment' – Emma Watson confirmed this in an interview with the Australian talk show "Sunrise". (This is not in the book.) (I repeat, for the shippers)
-Harry's trial at the Ministry
-Umbridge sacking Trelawney
-Fred and George's mayhem as they leave Hogwarts (I should hope so!)
-Umbridge and Inquisitorial Squad restraining Harry, Ron and Hermione right before Umbridge is led into the Forbidden Forest to be attacked by centaurs (During this scene Harry gets slapped, perhaps by Umbridge, though this is not confirmed. He is not slapped in the book.)
-Professor McGonagall being hit by Stunning spells when Umbridge and Ministry officials try to take Hagrid away.
-McGonagall's recovery, where she is in a wheelchair.
-Ron and Hermione as prefects
-Great Hall scenes
-Potions classes (YEE!)
-Hagrid introducing his fifth-year Care of Magical Creatures class to Thestrals.
-Scenes at Hagrid's Hut
-Occlumency lessons
-Severus Snape's Worst Memory in the Pensieve
-Grawp- and centaur-related scenes
-Thestrals
-At least one scene with Peeves was filmed, though not assuredly included in the final cut
-O.W.L. exams
-Scenes relating to Privet Drive, including the Dementor attack, and at least one scene with Arabella Figg, due to her casting.
-Snowy Opening Sequence
-Kreacher-related scenes were confirmed by David Heyman, however there has been no casting announcement in relevance to Kreacher's voice artist.
-Harry arriving at Grimmauld Place in the Summer. The scene will take place near sunset.
-The Order of the Phoenix getting ready to fly to Grimmauld Place from Privet Drive
-Moody, Tonks, Shacklebolt, and the Weasleys escorting Harry to Platform 9¾.
-Harry walks at King's Cross Station and sees Voldemort. (This is not in the book.)
-Harry and Cho's kiss
-Arthur Weasley at St. Mungo's
-Hogsmeade scenes
-Hagrid, Harry and Hermione visiting Grawp.
-Department of Mysteries/Ministry of Magic scenes

Scenes that have been cut from the movie:
The following scenes or plot elements have been confirmed not to be in the movie adaptation.
-Molly Weasley's boggart at Grimmuald Place.
-Knight Bus scenes
-Scenes with Dobby.
-Harry's interview with Rita Skeeter in the Quibbler (!!!)
-Lucius Malfoy and Fudge talking in the Ministry after Harry's trial.
-Quidditch scenes (Ah well)
-Slytherin chants of "Weasley is our King" (I was looking forward to that sad )

Sorry for such a long post. But, as you can see, they have prety much everything important, plus some.

I looked at the credits and a bunch of other things concerning the fifth movie, and I was pleased to see that they had actors for young Snape and the Marauders. I was really afraid that they would cut that part out of the movie.

Now all I have to worry about is if they do Fred and George any justice. The parts of the book concerning those two were my favorites.

I'd like to hope that they will do a good job and not cut major parts out but i understand when they do cut the parts out. Can you imagine how ling the movie would be if they did it all according to the book. They would have to make some changes but hopely nothing to drastric.

Yes, I really enjoyed the movie, despite the things that were cut and changed. I don't compare them to the books, really. I thought Bellatrix and Luna were both great. "I killed Sirius Black! AHAHAHAHAHA!" and "You're just as sane as I am." were two of my favorite lines. But my favorite overall was "Obviously.".
