MTV Blog: Yates Says Snape's Memories are Oddly Moving
"It didn't feel quite like a memory. It wasn’t quite evocative enough," Yates said. "I think we were telling too much story basically, so by fragmenting it, it just became oddly more moving ultimately."

The original sequence had a lot more conversation between Snape and

How amazing would it be if in fact that did give him a nomination. I'm not holding my breath though...mind you if Warner Brothers wants to spend the money to campaign, then something might happen. Ideally the movie will be out on DVD with renewed interest before the voting takes place.

Fandom would GO CRAZY if he won!

This place would be party central if he only gets nominated! It would be the best Oscar night ever! :)

I may boycott buying a deluxe 2 disc DVD of DH is none of that footage of Albus and Severus talking too much *rolleyes* is in the extras.

Fingers crossed that it is on there! I think there is more to Snape's speech in the Great Hall, too. I got that impression from people who were on the set when it was filmed.

(wondering if I can actually leave comments now!)

Personally I'm not holding my breath. There ought to have been more to put on the DVD in OotP, and look at the useless deleted scenes we got (I'm not even only talking about SWM here, although obviously that's what I'd have been most interested in).

I so hope the scenes will be released in DVD! There's always hope since we know those were filmed. I still cannot overcome the fact that they never filmed an Snape's D.A.D.A. class for HBP! :(

Slightly OT: Help please! I've tried to register at the HPN and I kept being bounced by the system, I always got a "we alreday have registered that username/password" notice, what could I do?

[rattlesnakeroot]

I can help. Send me a private message here on LJ with the username you are trying to register we can try to fix it. If I can't do it, Nicc or Olwen probably can. :)
