Sneak Peak of the Deathly Hallows
Fri, March 19, 2010 Sounds like a lot of cool stuff was shown at the 2010 Showest convention this week: early screenings of Toy Story 3, Clash of the Titans, Prince of Persia, Kick-Ass, footage from Inception, hell...I'm even hearing terrific things about the Karate Kid remake.
But today, the final day of this annual movie theater owners convention, the lucky attendees got to see some early footage of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. And not just scenes from Part 1 of the final chapter of the Harry Potter film series either. Going from this description on Comingsoon.net, it sounds like they got to see stuff from both parts of the final film(s).
Unfortunately, no one has been kind enough to sneak this footage to YouTube yet (and I doubt it would stay up there long if it did), but even though it was reportedly unfinished, just from the description it sounds like it looked pretty damn awesome.
So what was seen? Plenty of Voldemort plotting Harry's demise, the revolt at the Ministry of Magic, the Seven Potters escaping from Privet Drive, a glimpse of Bill Nighy as Rufus Scrimgeour, Bellatrix doing her crazy Death Eater-thing at Malfoy Manor, the trio being chased by the Snatchers, some of the Harry-Ron-Herminone arguing in the tent during the Horcrux hunt, a dragon and some thestrals, and what sounds like a bit of the Battle of Hogwarts.
My favorite part of the footage description is the ending shot of Voldemort (presumably at their final confrontation in the Great Hall) asking Harry, "Why do you still live?" to which Harry reponds "Because I have something to live for."
Wow. It sounds like it's going to be amazing. Word is we will get a finished trailer at some point this summer, but until then I think my excitement level has already gone up a bit.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 will be coming to theaters (in glorious 3D, of course) on November 19, and Part 2 arrives on July 15, 2011. Which seems like a really long time away.
