A MAJOR scene cut from the Half-Blood Prince Film

What is this fuckery?





Exclusive: Tonks has only one scene in Half-Blood Prince

This past weekend I attended Collectormania 13 in Milton Keynes, England, where, amongst others, Natalia Tena (Tonks) was present. She told me about her role in Half-Blood Prince & her reaction to Deathly Hallows.

The only scene Natalia has filmed for the movie, isn't actually in the book at all. She was only on set for the part where Death Eaters attack the Burrow at Christmas (where Harry & the Weasleys are present). She said that none of the angst of her character is there - indeed, she and Lupin are just suddenly a couple when they meet there.

In regards to Deathly Hallows, she said she was disappointed to see that they got married, due to her own personal preference towards the institution. So she doesn't want a big wedding scene (which some fans think may happen, given the exclusion of Bill Weasley & Fleur Delacour from Half-Blood Prince). But she did say that she would love to have to ride a broom with a pregnant belly.

Natalia also said they cut the Funeral scene for Dumbledore. What in the hell!!!

^ Scroll down to the bottom, the funeral cut is mentioned in the last post.

"She also mentioned that they were going to cut Dumbledore’s funeral from the sixth film which really upset me. This was the first part of any Harry Potter book to make me cry and if they had done it well, I’m sure watching the on screen version of it would make me cry again. Very disappointed. (But cool to meet Nat!)"

So let me get this straight...

They CREATE a new scene (burrow attack) and cut out major things like Dumbledore's fucking FUNERAL? How does this make any sense? These people need a fucking bitchslap for ruining the film so royally. I wanted to see Dumbledore's body go up in FLAMES. And Tonks won't be the one to find Harry in the Train to Hogwarts after he gets his face stepped on by Draco...

So Remus/Tonks hookup in HBP and there is no build up? Now they're definitely going to cut all the scenes with Remus in DH.

This sucks.

Now I can't wait for Twilight. At least that shit sticks to canon.
