Severus Snape walking towards what I believe is Spinner’s End (His childhood home where he met a certain young lady *cough*) edit: Obviously I souldn’t be making posts after a party.. But anyway, yup this is Godric’s Godric’s Hollow.  Thanks for the heads up. 

Lily Evans (Lily Potter ie Harry’s mum) and Aunt Petunia when they were young

And Lily shows her sister the peculiar ability to manipulate a bud into a a flower. Considering Lily comes from a muggleborn family she doesn’t know why she is able to do so. It is only after a young Severus Snape explains magic to her that she knows.

Tom Riddle’s Diary (also know as Horcrux number 1) after it was destroyed by Harry with a Basilisk fang.

Rowena Ravenclaw’s Diadem which is also a Horcrux

Two mysterious male,  female hands. Could be young Severus and Young Lily.

I didn’t think much of this image until I noticed that Voldemort is on the ground. I think it’s after he hits Harry with the Killing curse and they simultaneously faints.

Outside Shell cottage (Bill and Fleur Weasley’s house) next to Dobby’s grave.

Inside Gringotts, after Voldemort kills of most the staff in a fit of anger. EDIT:  Not Gringotts either.. This is the Malfoy’s place..  

Close up of Voldemort in Gringotts as he realizes Harry knows about his Horcruxes.

Harry, Ron and Hermione escaping Gringotts on the back of the blind dragon that was supposed be protecting Gringotts.

The Gringotts carts taking the trio to the Lestrange’s vault.

Another view of the Spinner’s end (if it is the place)

Professor Mcgonagall’s transfigured army getting ready to protect Hogwarts

Kinglesy throwing hexes or maybe more protective spells.

Super pretty (cackle) hexes coming towards Hogwarts

Narcissa Malfoy (Draco’s mum). They had better have kept her part in the finale.

I don’t know why but that looks like Percy Weasley

Another view of what I think is Professor Mcgonagall’s army.

Nagini appearing to either kill Snape or to get killed.  * sniffle* <-Definitely not sobbing for Nagini

Fred Weasley’s Death scene..  :(

This is either after Fred’s death or the Lupins or it’s after Harry comes back from his supposed death

Ginny Weasley about to get ambushed by Bellatrix Lestrange

Remus Lupin and his wife Nymphadora Tonks

Completely random, Hollywood moment which was definitely not in the books. Oh, well, I suppose they wanted the last battle to be more visually exciting.  And it makes me so glad they stuck to British directors through out.. I can’t image what Harry Potter would have turned out if they had Hollywoodized everything from the beginning.

Snape apparating out of Hogwarts after he gets ambushed by Professor Mcgonagall and co.

Random destruction of Hogwarts

The “Not my daughter you BITCH” moment where Molly Weasley kills Bellatrix

I think this is the part where Hagrid brings Harry’s body back. This is where Neville realizes that he needs to kill Nagini..

Why is Mr. Weasley Blonde?

The screen shots are in no particular order.

The minister of magic, Rufus Scrimgeour making a speech in front of press. He’s been appointed after Fudge was sacked. He’s trying to clean up all the mess Fudge left behind and prepare the Wizarding world against the darker times that are approaching.

Rufus Scrimgeour, mid speech.

Dumbledore’s rather cool looking grave.. We haven’t seen any funeral shots so I’m thinking that’s been cut out.

Wasn’t fast enough when taking the screenshot but it’s Voldemort leaning over Dumbledore in a creepy, weird way, that freud would love, so he can take his wand. I believe these scenes have been confirmed as the last scenes as the last part of Harry Potter part1.

Harry, after burying Dobby, and maybe set around the same time as the  Dumbledore grave scene.

Harry’s parents booby trapped grave. Obviously Ron isn’t going to be here so it’s only Hermione with Harry at this point.

The Sign of the Deathly Hallows. *woot*

Malfoy Manor where the Death Eaters have set up camp much to the displeasure of the Malfoys.

Snape acting the part of a loyal Death Eater.

The minister of Magic after Rufus Scrimgeour has been murdered. Look at that lovely statue at the back. The muggles are all squashed up under the Magic is might monument.

Panic amongst the ministry workers as all those who are muggleborns are rounded up for questioning.

Voldemort at the Malfoy manor telling his Death Eaters that he must be the only one who should kill Potter.

Lovely Nagini having a chomp at the former muggle studies teacher Charity Burbage

Harry having another useful Voldemort vision.

The real Mad eye Moody makes an appearence at Harry’s muggle place explaining the escape plan. There had better be a Dursleys scene or else! They missed a CRUCIAL one in the half blood prince which was unacceptable so they had better make up for it.

Seven Polyjuiced Harrys.  From left to right (just my guesses): Fred/George Weasleys, Mundungus Fletcher, Fleur Delacour, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger

Harry riding on the side car attached to Sirius’ motorbike. I’d have that expression too if Hagrid was driving although I’d imagine that has something to do with Death Eaters following them.

Fleur and Bill’s wedding. Very nice event about to be trashed. Harry’s supposed to be in a disguise over here but I guess they took it off for the film. Loved Ron’s Great Aunt in this part.

After the disruption at the wedding reception Harry, Ron and Hermione have made their escape. They apparate in front of a bus which reminds me that I don’t recall seeing any apparation lessons scenes. Another something butcher in HBP if that didn’t happen in the movie.

Ron spying on the Ministry of Magic entrance and the potential candidates they’re supposed to impersonate to get inside the ministry of magic.

Ron having his break down. Obviously the whole saving the wizarding world is taking its toll on him.

The muggleborns being held in for questioning by the ministry of magic being saved by Harry. They’re being chased by Dementors so I think the spell Harry’s casting is the Patronus.

Xenophilius Lovegood being utterly horrified after his house is destroyed by Harry and Co. although it looks like the Death Eaters are performing this job in the movie

Lovely Dobby to the rescue. Although there’s a very small unclear moment in the middle but we can see Lucius Malfoy getting thwacked on the head by Dobby’s magic.

Harry submerged in a lake trying to get the sword of Gryffindor. He’ll get stuck so Ron will have to save him.

Remus Lupin quizzing Harry about something only he would know for security purposes.  Since Death Eaters seemed to know of their escape plan it was generally assumed there was a snitch or something disguised as an order member.

Olivanders telling them about the Elder wand

Hermione polyjuiced as Bellatrix Lestrange.  She’s disguising Ron by giving him a beard so they can break into Gringotts unnoticed.

Making a bargain with Griphook about his help in breaking into Gringotts.

Xenophilius Lovegood, after he tries to exchange the trio for his daughter, Luna with the Death Eaters.

Mundungus Fletcher sells Sirius’s mirror to Aberforth Dumbledore who hears Harry’s cries for help and sends help in the form of Dobby.

The Tales of Beedle the Bard being exchanged between Hermione and Harry. Harry’s the believer while Hermione’s the cynic about the probability of the book’s contents being real.

Death Eaters waiting at a meeting about to watch Charity Burbage, the muggle studies professor, die.

Snatchers bringing in some mudbloods whoops muggleborns.

Ron outside the new burrow since the old one was gutted in the fire? We can see Mrs. Weasley and Ginny in there so that’s my guess. I never did figure out why this un-canon plot was necessary.

The Minister of Magic giving Harry the snitch which he inherited in Dumbledore’s will.

It brought the love I had for this series when it originally aired and made me even sadder that movie turned out to be rubbish.

It’s a really difficult task to decide which ones are my favourite; heck I can’t can’t even decided my favourite characters since all them are amazing. Even Appa can carry a whole episode on his back.

5) The Western Air Temple

Zuku’s trying to repent but the good guys are not so forgiving. The following quote summarizes Zuko’s dilemma:

Zuko: Argh! Why am I so bad at being good!?

4) The Boiling Rock, Part 1 and 2

Sokka’s fight to regain his honour involves him making plans to help his father escape from the Fire Lord’s capture. These episodes fully utilize Sokka’s strengths and even have some Zuko and Sokka bonding. There were good glimpses of Suki and Sokka’s father. I especially loved how Sukki captured the Warden.

One Sokka, Zuko moment :

Sokka: Really? You didn’t leave anyone behind you care about?
Zuko: Well, I did have a girlfriend. Mai.
Sokka: That gloomy girl who sighs a lot?
Zuko: Yeah. (smiles) Everyone in the Fire Nation thinks I’m a traitor. I couldn’t drag her into it.
Sokka: My first girlfriend turned into the moon. (frowns)
Zuko: That’s rough, buddy.

3) The Tales of Ba Sing Se

This was one of my favourite filler episodes in which all of our characters had small stories of their own, even momo. One of the major reasons I found it to to be one of my favourites because at the end of Uncle Iroh’s story I just wanted to cry. One moment I cackling about how Iroh teaches a would be robber how to improve his attack position and in the other moment when the man pulls out his son’s picture I felt really really sad. This is what makes a great show.

Zuko: Uncle, we have a problem. One of the customers is on to us. Don’t look now, but there is a girl over there at the corner table. She knows we’re fire nation. Didn’t I say don’t look!
Iroh: You’re right, Zuko. I’ve seen that girl in here quite a lot. Seems to me she has quite a little crush on you.

Katara (to Toph): I know you don’t really care about these things, but I think you’re really pretty.
Toph: Thanks. I’d return the compliment, but I have no idea what you look like.

Iroh (to Lu Ten): Happy birthday, my son. If only I could have helped you.
(begins to sing)
Leaves from the vine,
Falling so slow,
Like fragile, tiny shells,
Drifting in the foam,
Little soldier boy,
Come marching home,
Brave soldier boy,
Comes marching home

2) Zuko Alone

Provides a wonderful back story for Zuko. It makes his guilt and his turn to the good side even more believable. Sometimes even one good parent is enough to leave a stamp on you for the rest of your life and this shows exactly how. He wants to crush and defeat and protect his honour but that good his mother’s influence left on him defeated the rage inside of him. And it left a bigger question though. WHERE IS ZUKO’S MOTHER!!!??

Young Zuko: Azula always lies. Azula always lies…
(fade to Zuko in the present)
Zuko: Azula always lies.

Young Azula: Uncle’s coming home.
Young Zuko: Does that mean we won the war?
Young Azula: No, it means Uncle’s a quitter and a loser.
Young Zuko: He’s not a quitter! He’s probably just sad his only kid is gone… forever.

1) The Blind Bandit

The introduction of Toph.. enough said.

Toph: Even though I was born blind, I’ve never had a problem seeing. I see with earthbending. It’s kind of like seeing with my feet. I feel the vibrations in the ground with my feet, and I can see where everything is: (fades to wide view) you, that tree, (Shows ant hill) even those ants. (Back to Aang and Toph)

Aang: That’s amazing!
Toph: My parents don’t understand, they’ve always treated me like I was helpless.
Aang: Is that why you became the Blind Bandit?
Toph: Yeah.
Aang: Then why stay here where you’re not happy?
Toph: They’re my parents, where else am I supposed to go?

Good old Voldemort’s waiting for Harry Potter to turn up after he’s announced he would spare everyone if they brought him Harry Potter.  Voldemort expects Harry to hand himself in.

And just as he expects Harry does turn up ready to die although for a completely different reason. I did think about how they would show Harry’s Parents and the rest of the Marauders. I want to see Sirius again!

Harry closes his eyes accepting his fate. If I remember correctly he’s thinking of Ginny.

*Avada Kedavra*

Harry, Ron and Griphook in Gringotts? With Hermione polyjuiced as Bellatrix Lestrange.

Ollivander after being in captivity for a year .  I did get confused about whether that was Gellert Grindelwald

Harry and Hagrid escaping Death Eaters after they get away from 4 Privet Place. I am eagerly waiting to see seven Harrys.

Hermione and Ron at Dobby’s funeral. If you look closely you can see the mark on Hermione’s neck where Bellatrix Lestrange held a knife on her neck.

I don’t have a clue. Maybe Hermione going to Harry’s parents grave or to her own parents to erase their memories.

Harry’s wearing some fancy clothing so I assume it’s after they escape from the ministry of magic after they’re found out to be impostors and not the people they’ve polyjuiced themselves into.

The protective shields around Hogwarts breaking. From then onwards Hogwarts becomes Death Eater Territory. They showed them the first time in Half Blood Prince and now I know why. Apparently breaking them looked very good on screen.

Death Eater (Thought he was Carrow but he looks different from the pictures) stopping the train to abduct Luna Lovegood from the Hogwarts express on the way back for Christmas Holidays. That’s the only reason I can think of for someone wanting to stop the Hogwarts Express.  I’m glad they’ll be showing the scenes of the Hogwarts mutiny led by Neville because even though the trio’s off hunting Horcruxes there was equally interesting stuff happening back at Hogwarts.

I’m guessing Ollivander about to be kidnapped because of all the boxes (which I’m guessing are wands) in the background although I remember him as a completely different bloke. He looks more like Karkaroff with the facial hair.

This is after the escape from the ministry of magic. Ron ends up getting splinched after they apparate so that’s why he’s on the ground. I think Hermione’s performing the fidelius charm around them after she’s fixed Ron’s arm.

And this is how the Trio escape from Gringotts although they’re supposed to be sitting on the Dragon.  Poor things’s half blind so I felt really sorry for it but then it had it’s moment of glory when it destroyed the place it was supposed to protect. Go Dragon!

Ron’s all wet and in a forest so this is after he saves Harry in Lake. I’m guessing it’s the part where the Horcrux that’s in the locket manifests itself in front of Ron as one of his worst nightmares; A Hermione that likes Harry more than Ron. A cruel vision of her taunts him and kisses Harry (Emma once gave an interview where she says how awkward it was that she had to kiss both her costars. Since Harry and Hermione never kiss in canon I believe this is the only place they can). Sounds like a fun scene. Nice to torture Ron a bit when he’s said some brutally mean stuff to Harry before he left.

Ron looks like he’s going to attack someone and Hermione’s stopping him.They’re standing in Hogwart’s rubble.  Either it’s the scene where they find out Harry’s dead or when one of the Weasley twins dies.

Death Eater chasing Hagrid and Harry. It could even be Stan Shunpike!! It would be awesome if it were him after all he’s the basic reason Harry won’t join forces with the ministry.  Such attention to detail could make this Potter film a winner<= Oh dear God I sound like a cheesy reviewer.

Ron being chased in the ministry after his Polyjuice wears off. He’s all wet because the man he polyjuiced into was supposed to be able to fix magical leaks and stuff.

Bellatrix Lestrange throwing a knife at Harry as he and Dobby are escaping from Malfoy Manor.. *sniffle* we know who dies and it isn’t Harry.

Running from the snatchers when Harry accidentally says Voldemort’s name. The real reason why no one says Voldemort’s name is revealed here.

Voldemort’s having a jolly good time with his new wand.. that he took from Dumbledore’s grave. I wonder if they’ll show Dumbledore’s grave. I wonder if they’ll show his funeral

Completely random new scene with no basis in canon. It looks like something cinema audiences would love although Harry is bound in it so it’s after the scene in the forest. But Voldmort never notices he’s alive till the very end so I fear they might have taken out Hagrid and Mrs. Malfoy’s scenes because they are key to why Voldemort thinks Harry is dead… NOOOOOOOO!

The trio after Bill Weasley’ and Fleur’s wedding. That’s when they encounter Death Eaters again in muggle London because Harry keeps taking Voldemort’s name and hence gets tracked down. I have no idea why but the dialogue I remember the most is that Ron complains his jeans are too tight.

Multiple scenes of different people polyjuiced as Harry getting chased by Death Eaters so that no Death Eater knows which is the real Harry. I want to see the sadness after Moody gets killed. And Harry needs to find that eye. Moody needs a proper burial.

Nagini attacking Harry after she tricks him into believeing she is Bathilda Bagshot. Don’t have a clue how they’ll show that on screen. Didn’t the snake rip out of her body or something.. Err.. what is the rating of this film.. might freak out the kiddies if that show that.

Ron finally destroying the Horcurx with Harry egging him on with Gryiffindor’s sword too boot.

The room of Requirement that turns into the room of hidden things, catching fire. This fire is cursed and is called Fiendfyre.  Crabbe happens to be the one who starts it and ironically dies in it.

Goyle and Malfoy barely make it out and that too with Harry’s help. In the movies there’s only one of Malfoy’s side kicks being used though. Can’t remember which. One of the kids got kicked for Drug related charges I believe.

There’s a kiss of course. Wasn’t there in canon but it’s a movie. People need to snog when they’re off to fulfill potentially deadly prophecies. Just look at the background; people are running too and fro so this is Hogwarts and the War’s about to begin. We get a kiss but will we get spiders and werewolves?

Headmaster Snape being forced to abandon his post by the rest of the teachers. He’s going to go flying through that window. We need an epic Snape death with him staring into Harry’s eyes thinking of his mother instead.. creepy but

Hogwarts being destroyed by random blasts but all this scene says to me is no giants, no giants, no giants That means no Grawp. Come on, he’s supposed to fight the rest of the giants and protect Hogwarts. We need to see how he’s the runt of the family!

Whoa!

Whoa!

Whoa!

I’m embarrassed to tell you but I have imagined this scene and this is infinitely better. Although slightly disappointed it’s not in the Great Hall and that there’s no audience. Everybody’s supposed to be standing around them watching. Harry’s supposed to mock ‘Tom’ how none of his curses could kill anyone because Harry gave his life to protect them. McGonagall and Kingsley were supposed to be fighting Voldemort before Harry turns up. Where are they?

Oh well. Let’s see what happens. I can’t wait for this movie to come out.  This series has spanned through half my life and I feel sad and excited at the same time that it’s coming to an end.

Scenes that NEED to be in the movie

• Where Hagrid brings Harry’s body back. If that doesn’t happen the cinema’s going to be on fire.
• I want to see Mrs. Malfoy and the whole is my son alive bit.
• Where Harry crucios Carrow for spitting at Professor McGonagall.
• The Not my Daughter, you Bitch scene.  Mrs. Weasley needs to show how awesome she is when she kills Bellatrix Lestrange.
• When Harry becomes godfather. Not the most relevant scene but I’d like a look at Teddy.
• Kreacher. I got fond of him by the end of it.

SHYAMALAN: Well, there is a lot in the mythology. What I did was remove anything that was too slap-sticky and cheesy — the stuff that was there for the very little kids, but wouldn’t work in a live action feature like the fart jokes. I grounded the thing a little more. I grounded Katara’s brother for example [played by Nicola Peltz] and it brought a great new overall tone to the whole movie[link]

Oh dear.. I imagine it’s going to be a really dull movie.. The slapstick is kind of funny and is a  part of the characters.. I really don’t want the characters to be barely recognizable.

This severely undermines the power of the people who were already acting on this issue. Now everyone’s going to think the lack of Facebook activity is because of government intervention whereas the boycott was already planned. Most of my friends had the image on the right as their profile pictures.

http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=119189174782631.

All that effort for nothing. Random media will report this as ‘oppression’ of the Pakistani people and our message will be lost.

I was planning to boycott facebook for the next month because the whole ‘cartoon’ episode doesn’t offend me as much as the thought process behind it. It’s a bitchfest pure and simple; it only says ‘If you hate muslims then it’s time to bring out your crayons’. Honestly, the comics I’ve seen as yet aren’t very interesting or great pieces of freedom of speeches. I’ve had people on the street throw betters slurs at me.

When facebook changed its something policy again I wasn’t bothered. Rarely have their changes affected me enough before for me to care now.  I randomly clicked on their privacy message and forgot it even existed. Well, that was before every single newspaper I read started mentioning the facebook new privacy settings in their most read stories. I had a moment of meh another bunch of whiners.

I decided to check out my settings regardless.. Let’s just say I was bit shocked to find my profile privacy blasted wide open. My notes, my info and my wall was completely out in the open. I’ve never been gladder that I play farmville so much because my wall was full of stuff from it. At least to a non invasive viewer I had no social life and all was good. I reverted back to my old settings and gave a sigh of relief… Major emergency Over!

Then came the fun bits. Don’t you know a few people who you kinda seem to know but never really want to friend but are really curious about what they ended up doing after school.. well, now was the time to indulge in a level of voyeurism I never had before.

I now know one of them got married and had a baby.. anticlimatic much.. the baby’s cute and I know this because her mum’s albums gave away every single movement she made.

And there were others I couldn’t resist checking out. One guy I know has over 300 albums… fun, well he’s having way to much of it.  I’m almost jealous

What worried me the most about this incident is that 2 out of 3 people I click on have their walls, albums, everything on display and I’m pretty sure they don’t want stuff like this aired out. While it’s easy to comment on how stupid people are about not reading something they click on this is facebook after all; most people login daily to grow crops and join a mafia.

disclaimer:: the author is no pervy voyeur; she’s only procrastinating while having exams.

The people of this country are NOT acceptable collateral damage no matter how brown and poor we are.
