Mod Note: Movie Release reaction begins with LilyPotter at June 11,2007

Sexy-lass... please. No netspeak. You're an old member enough to know that now.

If you take a moment and check, this issue has been touched in this thread here, but seeing it's a combination with a few other question, I'll let you go with this one.

I highly doubt that the scene will make me cry -- I didn't cry when I read the book and I've never cried during a movie (not limited to HP), so I don't think I'm given to very emotional responses to this sort of thing. However, I do think that the director (whoever it is now; it's so hard to follow ) will play up Sirius's demise as much as possible. Audiences tend to be attracted to physical/emotional pain, violence, etc., all of which can be worked into the Department of Mysteries battle quite nicely. I hope that the battle is a long scene with a lot of action, but I do not care too much about whether Sirius's death is an enormous, protracted thing or just something fast that comes and goes. I personally feel that the bit with Harry in Dumbledore's office after they get back to Hogwarts has more potential as a painfully emotional scene than Sirius's physical departure, although I frankly hope that they'll breeze through Harry's little freak-out scene pretty quickly and get straight to the prophecy. Not that they will do that, of course.

They'll proobly do a slow motion very dramatic tye scene when he fallss over

i hope so. not that i'm happy about it, but it would be good if it had the right drama. i really dont know anything about the new director, i'm just glad arfonso isnt doing it. i almost cried when i read it, and i think i will when i see it, if it's done well.

I have this picture of Harry stopping what he's doing, and silence is all around, just watching Sirius. I think it'll be slow motion as well. I didn't cry when I read it in the book first time around - a girl at my school told me he was going to die... - but when I read it later, I sure did. And I cry at nearly everything - even adverts. Like the Cancer Research UK one had me going for about 20 mins! Hehe

itll be one of those scenes where the cameras flicking back and forth between sirius and harry, like in really slow motion, then maybe a closeup of harry and the emotion of loss behind his eye, a single tear runs down his cheek, then the feeling of anger...

(i should have been a director!)

I rekcon it'll be slow motion and he just disappears. I think they'll focus much more on Harry's reaction, (which i must say i thought was very realistic. Because i think that that's the more important scene.

Ygraine

i cried really hard in the book and i'll probably cry during the movie. i will be very mad if they don't do this scene good!

i think nthat scene will be very dramatic!
i was very sad when i knew that sirius was dead!
he's one of my favorite characters!
because he's really cool!
and i don't want him to die!

I was so so sad when I read thaht Sirius was dead...

I confess: I cried!!

I think that scene needs to be very dramatic as it is very important to the plot, simply because Harry is so close to Sirius. However, as the movies are aimed mainly at a young audience i don't think that Sirius' death will be a majorly dramatic, heart rendering, upsetting scene... because it might upset children... however, they might just put a warning or higher rating on the movie. It's debatable. Didn't they have to edit the original dementors because they believed them to be too scary fro children?!

how could they make them look scary..theyre things in black tattered robes that float around with a perfectly cirular mouth! lol ..getting off topic...i think they will show sirius's death exactly how it is in the book because all he did was look shocked and fall backward..i can already see it..and its not upsetting me lol its not like hes getting hacked with a blunt knife

I think the best way to do it is: slowmotion as Sirius is falling backwards into the veil showing his shock at what had just happend, then (still in slowmotion) switch between his face and Harry's and as soon as he's through the veil you return to normal speed and the camera switches to Harry falling to his knees(or somthing similar) and then going on with the rest of the story after that.

But they can't only target children in this one, it deals with to much dark and serious stuff. They have to raise the rating and waring level for it. If they don't it will destoy the movie.

And I must admit that I cried when I read his death, it was a good five minets before I could go on with the rest of the book. And I have never cried at anything else that was in a book, movie, ect.

This is one of the part in OotP I'm looking forward in the movie. It should be dramatic. This one of the parts in Harry Potter books that I cried. And if I'll cry on the theaters, it's effective.

Yeah, if it can make me cry again watching the movie when I know it's coming and all that it will be a truly meaningful scene. But I dougt that I will cry again sens I know it's coming.

It will be very sad... Everybody (?) love Sirius... I think that everything will be crying

Im sure it will be a really dramatic scene. I think they will show Harry's face and may be Lupin's. Ill cry, and my friedns will think ive gone mad.

I think if David Yates was smart he would make it so fast you almost miss it. thats how it was in the book. sirius was alive one line and gone the next. its a shock thing. Poor old Gary Oldman

If they adhere to form then I reckon it'll just get cut it out. Not like it's integral to the understanding of the story is it? Anyway, it'll need to be cut when they replace Daniel Radcliffe with Frankie Muntz and re-locate to California. In fact, just cut Sirius out altogether. Magic? Magic... No, that'll have to go too. Tell what we'll have instead - ROBOTS! Hundreds of big scary robotos! With the voice of Stephen Hawking...

* Oz shakes his head sadly *

i recon when he dies you will see the curse hit him and as ha falls they get the violins out and the camera will switch to harry strugeling against lupin, then as belatrix makes a break for it everythig goes back to normal.

They will make it slow motion and really dramatic. But I'm not sure whether i will CRY. Still it would be evry very sad.

I, for one, will definitely cry my sorry little soul out when I see that part. It's hard not to, (for me) even when it's in the book! So, (for me, again) it will definitely be very very dramatic. But anyway, that's because I'm a sad mush when anything sad happens.

~*Ozzi*~

I think they'll put teh scene in slow-mo and have the camera angle quickly switchin between harry and Sirius' face until he finally falls in and then it will speed up to normal again with harry peggin it after Bellatrix, it shud make it more emotional. And sorry tro any dudes who have put something similar to my suggestion its late and my brains running at half cappacity!

Sirius' death will not matter a jot if Oldman and Radcliffe don't have some serious screen time together. They will need to establish the bond between Harry and Sirius for Sirius' death to have meaning, for us and for the characters. All this slow-motion trickery will not matter a bit if there is no emotion behind the loss.

Yes, Aquiet, they do. Especially since in the book Harry comes to look upon Sirius as a sort of fatherly figure, going to him for advice, etc. They really do need to pay attention to the growing relationship between Sirius and Harry to carry the emotion of the moment when Sirius going through the veil.

omg...i cant believe Sirus dies!! He was so cool! And he loved Harry so much...i cried when Harry and Dumbledore had to talk about it...

I reckon, being the budding director that I am, that it may be similar to [if you've seen it] Gandalf on the Bridge of Kazhat-Dum...
[you might have to understand camera-speak]

-Everything fine and dandy..normal pace
-Gets hit by spell...kill music
-CU of face as eyes widen...slow-mo
-Harry watching...slow-mo
-Sirius falling...maybe play him in slow-mo while everyone else is normal pace
-Sirius reaches veil,CU of his face as he takes a final glance at Harry...slow-mo
-CU of transfixed Harry, watching Sirius
-Sirius falls through the veil...normal pace, camera momentarily looms over dais
-Harry shouts 'SIRIUS!!!'m realising he cant get back...normal pace
-Harry refrained, POV of Harry staring at Dais...slow-mo

And there we have it.. I thought it was bloody effective in LOTR..hope y'all can imagine what I'm on about.

This is how I imagine it.

Remember the scene in Star Wars: A new hope when Obi Wan gets cut down by Vader? Luke is just standing there watching while all these lasers and what not are flying around him. At the pivotal moment when he witnesses Obi Wan die, time stands still around him, but he can still move...scream and what ever....

That's how I picture it. Spells, screams, and mayhem all around, but it doesn't even phase Harry...

Sirius's death is still a bit confusing to me (and I think to quite a few out there too), because we still don't know how that veil killed him or if it was the spell or whatever... so it would be nice if the movie-makers consulted JK about it and she agreed on giving some information, so perhaps, with a special effect we can be sure that Sirius dies when he falls through the veil (non-fans would think "what the... he crossed the veil and he died?! I don't get it!"). Maybe Sirius falling and the veil moving very violently and some spirits coming out or in or smoke, I don't know, something that makes perfectly clear in a visual sense that by falling through that veil indeed kills you.

Althoug I have to admit that I still haven't see Gof (I'm a bad fan, I know!) I agree that they haven't made Sirius and Harrys relationship as close as it should be. In PoA the biggest mistake in movie was that if you haven't read the book, people won't propably understand how close Maradeurs were or maybe even who they were. And I think it's that way kinda impossible to make audience understand tricky relationship with Harry and Sirius. And 'cause of that the ones who haven't read the book propably won't understand why Harry reacts so powerfull to Sirius death( wow, I finally got to the subject). It would propably be best solution to left Sirius away for movie, but because the scene is important to plot,and in whole series, I don't think they just could left in away. But hopefully the don't do it over dramatic, or it will be ridiccilus insted of sad.it should be over quickly, meaning that they would just show the spell hitting and had enough time to show Sirius face still smiling before disappearing.Then Harry should just run after Bellatrics, likeit was in movie. 'Cause I think one of the reasons it was so powerfull moment in book was that Rowling didn't savor in it, but moved the scene quickly to Voldemort battle.
And I have to admit that I cryied when I read it, but I'm not sure at all will I cry in movies. I depends a lot how they make the scene

im not much of a cry baby but it will certainly be the climax of the story.not that everybody want's him to die but it plays one of most important parts of the story.but i hope they don't leave anything out of the last 200 pages or so.

i think it will be a bit dramatic, i mean , if they want to get as much as they can in to movie, they wont have enough time to make it really dramatic, however, what they do have of his death, i think will be dramatic enough to make those who had sirius listed as their absolutely favourite cahacter will possibly cry,

That really upset me, but I can't see how they could get away with leaving out/ not emphasising the closeness in OotP because if they do then the death and Harry's reaction wn't be as dramatic - A couple of people I know only saw the movies and didn't read the book and when I was all huffy after reading OotP they couldn't understand why I was so upset about his death - saying that he wasn't that important in the film or to harry, even when I explained (with my somewhat limited describing skills ) they still didn't 'get it' - so hopefully they will place significant emphasis on the relationship.

(or you know be really kind and leave out the death scene all together and pretend that it just didn't happen ) - ok ok wishful thinking, I just really like sirius

I know that I will ceratinly cry, once again more at Harrys' reaction like I did to Cederics' dads reaction more than the death itself (not to say that the death isn't upsetting, but it just happens so quickly, in both cases really) - I think that both JK Rowling and the films give an excellent portrayal of emotion (*makes a mental note to stock up on waterproof mascara*) - so I think that the drama will stem from the screams of 'Noooo' and stuff and Harry having to be restrained by Lupin, I could probably see it being one of the slowed down, the world has stopped, moments

Okay, yeah, what's bothering you is what's bothering me.. I see it as there is only ONE way to make the death dramatic..

Spend like the ENTIRE movie showing how close Harry and Sirius really are, then pray to god that Dan can do some INCREDIBLE acting in that scene,along with Gary Oldman and possibly David Thewlis, I think some great Harry/Sirius/Remus sort of 'last few moments' things in slow motion would positively add drama.

Honestly, if they don't do that, I'll still cry, but those who haven't read the books won't, and strangely, I'm trying to help them..so script writers/director/producers..If your out there..LISTEN UP!

sirius' death would really be dramatic. he's the person who has been helping harry. and because he's the only family member that harry liked. he never liked he dursleys, did he?
and in GoF it's really bad that Sirius and Harry didn't have a 'sirius' conversation.

I will be soooooooooo upset if they don't make Sirius's death sceen dramatic! I cried when I read the book so I will most likly bawl my eyes out at the movie theater!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was so sad when Sirius died !!
He was one of my favourite caracters.
But I wounder, what was the reason he died ?
Any ideas ??

I dunno...I hope that it would be a really dramatic and emotional scene. Harry crying and Lupin trying to talk to him, Bellatrix laughing full of irony, everything being silent...It would be great...i hope that they won't ruin it!!!!I don't know but I trust David Yates, I think that the whole movie is going to be unexpected, differnet, better, darker, adventurous, fantastic!!!It is the "Inner Eye"...Lol

i think they should keep the same guy as the man in poa, i forgot his name [tho]

MOD EDIT : Could you please have a read through the rules for the forum? Netspeak and one liners are not allowed here. Thanks.

i, for one, am really hoping it is not in slow motion. i hate slow motion in movies and i will walk out if they use it

i'm sure that they will make Bellatrix utter the words: Avada Kedavra!
Even though the book just said that "A jet of green light hit Sirius' squarely in the chest"

It's like what they did to the Old Muggle caretaker in the GoF.

the book also said that "A jet of green light hit the Muggle and left him dead" something like that. haven't read GoF for a long time.

I think it will be dramatic when Sirius dies in the 5th movie, I nearly cried while reading the book, I write tragic stories so I am used to that stuff. I will probably cry in the movie sooo...

i was realy sad it took me 1 year to read that book coz i kept losing my place and not reading it for about a month and this was before the gof film came out i didnt no wat was going on it was talking bout a grave yard nd i didnt get it then i acctualy finished that book and didnt understand so then i red it again then i borrowed the gof book off my m8 then i red that in 3 days the film came out i understood it then i red the ootp again then i got the newest book half blood prince nd i havent red harry potter for ages im gonna start reading it coz now i understand the 4 film i watch it every nite wen i go to sleep so im gonna read the books again and take it very slow so i can remember everything that happens coz some things i neva get lol i wounder wat will happen with those two way mirrows u no the ones sirius gave to harry so they can comunicate i hope those r in the next book

im so scared! he was like my favorite character! i hope its not too dramatic! :( :(

Hey I think it will be one ofo those suddle moments and it will go unnoticed for a moment but I do think it will be dramatic and you will not be the onlii one who cries becuz I cried in the bk 2. [font=Fixedsys][color=#CC66CC]

Hey I think it will be one ofo those suddle moments and it will go unnoticed for a moment but I do think it will be dramatic and you will not be the onlii one who cries becuz I cried in the bk 2.

I think that it'll be dramatic because on the home page of this web site, just a couple of days ago, it said that the director, David Yates, is aiming for an "emotionally-rich" Ootp movie.

I really really hope that they actually do make it dramatic and emotional - it would be doing justice to the book. Since the book was dramatic and emitional, it's only fitting that the movie be so aswell.

I hope they make it emotional, and dramatic. Really it almost has to be, Sirius is the closest thing Harry has to a Father, and it's just a major emotional moment for him. Personally, I'm hoping for the slow-mo fall into the veil. It's just how I pictured it in the book. I really would like to see the scene between Harry and Nearly Headless Nick about his death also.

I already know I'm going to get emotional about it, Sirius was my favorite character.
