that is awesome!!! i've been dying for some new pics
well, Trewlawney doesn't know when she makes her predictions that are actually right, the ones she does to her knowledge are all bunk.

Mod Edit: here are somemore pic i found

Cool Pictures . On the issue of Trelawney, I think things are a bit more complex. I'm not talking about her making up predictions about Harry's Death. But consider the following, when Harry runs into Trelawney at the beginning of the chapter, The House of Gaunt.

Trelawney is shuffling a deck of Tarot cards and muttering to herself when harry runs into her. "Two of Spades:conflict"..."Seven of Spades:an ill omen. Ten of Spades: Violence. Knave of Spades: a dark young man, possibly troubled, one who dislikes the questioner-" These references clearly predict:

Then she stops dead, looks at a card and says "that can't be right." We aren't given any indication of what card she saw until near the end of HBP. The card is the title of the chapter, "The Lightning Struck Tower", in which

That's fascinating, GB! I've never thought of it that way, but it makes a lot more sense now. Thanks for posting that!

Those pictures are cool, though they don't tell much, lol. I saw some picture of Harry, Ron, and Hermione in tuxes and a dress (respectively) in the middle of the street, possibly right after they Disapparated from the wedding reception.

P.S."Brooklyn!"

That was very interesting, GB. I agree that Trelawney is not aware of how good a seer she is, but i think that makes her predictions all the more interesting. If you go back and reread them from early books they always seem correct.

I always wonder about who else's death she predicted. Mcgonagall said that she predicted a death every year and i always wondered if they were the deaths of people who died in the final battle at hogwarts.

Well, to be balanced, many of her "predictions" were vague enough, that anyone could make such claims and appear "correct". I mean there is so much Doom and Gloom in the World that I could predict a plane crash tomorrow and have a very good chance of being right (let me know if this actually occurs somewhere on Friday Dec 4th 2009 ).

Hermione was right that Trelawney's prediction that the thing "Lavender feared most" happening on a certain date was off the mark.

Yet Trelawney also clearly has some latent abilities that she herself doesn't particularly understand or read very clearly. Lavender's letter about the death of her Bunny arriving on the date Trelawney predicted was an indication that she saw something, but very vaguely. Her predictions of Harry's death were always thwarted.

And it's made clear by McGonagall that a student did not die every year, despite Trelawney's predictions. Neville's cup breaking? She knew a nervous klutz when she saw one . Reminded me of the scene in the Matrix when the Oracle asks Neo if he thinks he would have broken the cup if she hadn't mentioned it.

So a combination of factors including probabilities, luck, educated guesses, and actual ability led to many of Trelawney's predictions at least coming close to the mark.

I think my favorite photos right now are from after Malfoy Manor when the trio apparates to the beach near shell cottage. There is just something about the ocean and the dark rocks. It is just great.

It just really makes me want to see the who Malfoy Manor scene and to know that they are going to split the films right before it is just too much.

I have a lot of photos saved because there were a lot taken when they were filming on location. Now they are holed up in the studio so we will only get the photos they give us.

decarus, I love, LOVE those pictures from the Shell Cottage filming!! I'm looking forward to seeing that scene and the Malfoy Manor scene too. Those are some of the most anticipated scenes in the movie for me.

I found a really good (but shaky) video of them filming the Shell Cottage scene on Youtube if anyone is interested in seeing it. It just makes me even more excited too see this movie. The splitting of book seven into two movies is going to be reallly hard for me though. Idk if I can wait another six months for part two!!

decarus, are you a part of the COS forums? I've been browsing through them recently and I found someone with your exact name on there and posting some pics too.

Btw, why is the Shell Cottage scene in broad daylight?? It's supposed to be night during that part. Love all the HP 7 pics so far! I'm saving them all.

Yeah, i am on the COS forums. I help with the All-inclusive DH list on there, so i could post photos all day. I just really like the ones from shell cottage on the beach. There are some great ones of

Today we just got some footage. It is only four seconds long and not the best quality, but they show

PS. The split is rough, but for me, better that then them cutting half of the stuff in Deathly Hallows. I am not sure that the film would make sense if they started cutting. It will be a rough six months and we probably won't have the dvd for awhile after that. I do hope that the release the dvd before release part 2.

Ah, yes, I did just see that footage! I'm quite happy to see it. I did straight away notice the posters on the wall and the fog so I was guessing it was the Hogsmeade part that we saw. I wish it was longer though, all this waiting to November 2010 is driving me crazy already!!

Does anyone have any guesses on when the teaser trailer might come out?? May perhaps? That is six months before the first half of DH is released into theatres.

Yeah the

I think based on the fact that Ron and Harry are wearing the same thing when they talk to Xenophilius Lovegood that they are wearing on the beach of shell cottage after Malfoy Manor that it will all be when long scene, of course, with the films splitting in the middle.

This is my speculation.

PS. I am not sure about when a trailer will come out. Sometimes we get a teaser six months early, but really most of what you get is in the last two months to six weeks. I hope they keep giving out photos though. I love a good photo.

Wow, the

Yes, any HP photo's i'll welcome with open arms! I hope they continue to bring those out too. They've already released 2 official movie pictures, I hope they release some more soon.

Well here are some more photos of the trio after they apparate to the beach. Look you can see the cut

I'll post some more later. I need to head out.

WOW thanks decarus! I LOVE all of these pics!! And yeah, Malfoy Manor is SO going to be intense. I got excited just looking at the pictures and some of the videos on YT!

I'm wondering just how intense the

The scenes should be intense but not to the level of '24's' torture scenes.
I expected Hermione's cut to be more vicious. The trio look incredibly tired in that photo, especially Rupert Grint.

Rupert looks like he has a black eye coming on.
