Interesting Things In The Trailer

[Feyd]

In terms of the Snape protecting the trio I think it takes place when the Dementors come to get Sirius. In the book Snape was "out cold" when this happened and then awoke to the aftermath. Harry and Hermoine, when they had gone back in time, saw him levetate everyone to the hosptial ward (after he awoke).

However, in one of the POA reviews it is mentioned that when the Dementors attack Snape attempts to protect everyone (probably not Sirius though) but fails and it is up to Harry to "save the day". Therefore, it is probably a new scene. I imagine that it plays out with the trio, Sirius and Lupin escorting a bound Wormtail and unconscious Snape back to Hogwarts. Lupin begins to change, Wormtail scatters, Sirius pursues Lupin all the while the Dementors are closing in. Snape attempts to stop the Dementors and does something wrong; Harry then steps in to stop them.

Personally, I don't like moving too far from the integrity of the book, but I do think that a scene like that would be good, expecially for those who haven't read any of the "Harry Potter" books. Those that have read the books understand Snape's persona and "where he is coming from"; if you haven't read the books then Snape comes across as just a stuffy, grumpy wizard with a really bad attitude. Showing him protecting the trio kind of puts him that "grey" area that the book alludes to.

Just a thought. Who knows, the entire scene could just be Snape making up a story as to what happened with the Dementors in order to make himself look better. At the end of POA it is mentioned that he is up for the "Order of Merlin" award, "First Class", but I think that was for Sirius' apprehension and not for anything to do with the Dementors.

I think the dementor hood thing is because they needed the right rating for the film so they had to make the demetors less scary so i have heard. Therefore the hoods were introduced... a bit lame really but there we go, it is after all a kids film. No point in haveing a 12 rating on it, half the kids in the world would go mad.

Also anyone noticed how different the whopping Willow looks? In the second it is massive but it looks completely different in the trailer....or was that a photo i saw....either way it looks different.

OMG SIRIUS LOOKS LIKE A MENTAL PATIENT. i thought he would have dark black hair and he would be more muscular and he would be like handsome for a guy his age and stuff but . . . . . . .HE WAS TOTALLY UGLY

[danielkvc]

^Well that is because he just comes out of azkaban. the poa book says something like hes weakened beyond imagination... i'm sure he'll look better in gof.

Well i think hagrids hut is on a better (confident to the book) place now. and the willow was very close to the entrance in the second film would it really be there?

what i don't like is the new entrance to the griffindor common room, and the new fat lady is awful...

There's a pretty widley spread image of Snape seemenly protecting the trio; that isn't anywhere in the books, is it? I guess it would have to be inside the shrieking shack, but in that case his attitude in that whole scene would have to be really different. Or (since it looks like they're outside) it could be from the dementers, in a scene that wasn't in the book at all...

Snape defends the kids right outside of the whomping willow in the book I think
