ABC Family's Versions of the HP movies

[MasterOfDeath]

I'm wondering if OOTP really has been extended. When GOF first aired on ABC Family a coulple years back, it was advertised as being extended but GOF wasen't extended until December 09.

If it is extended, it will probably only be the deleted clips from the DVD which were mainly just small, short little add-ons to scenes. I wonder if they will keep the scene of Trelawny making a mess of her meal during Umbridge's speech during the opening speech.

I've been watching the ABC Family marathon all weekend and I'm very excited for OOTP! It's coming on so soon now!

I don't think I have the ABC Family channel. I guess I'll just buy it on Blu-Ray.

i absolutely loved that trelawney scene, i will laugh really hard if it ends up in the extended version.

They are advertising it as having footage never shown in theaters... so i hope they throw in deleted scenes, even if they are ones we have already seen.

Well...OoTP is the feature presentation they have been advertising all weekend...so I think it's safe to say there may be a few more commercials. Just a few

..But I'm with you, I'm excited to see these deleted scenes. Tonight was my first time seeing any cut scenes from GoF, and I must say, I liked them

[Slartibartfast]

I saw GoF yesterday on that channel. Theres one scene in that, that was worth sitting through it for. Snape and Karkaroff at the Yule Ball! That was great! I dont know if ill stay up for OotP though. It sounds like they are gonna drag it out with commercials.

Especially the common room scene right after they find Crouch dead. It makes loads more sense now.

Boy I hope we get something we have not seen before for OotP.....

I'm pretty sure it IS extended because when the movie started there was a notice that said, "this film has been modified to fit the screen AND to edited to run in the time allotted". That last part means only one thing on ABC Family...it has been extended! The first extended scene (trewlany making a mess while eating) should be during the opening feast.

I saw that notice too. But I thought that it probably meant the opposite of what you said. But I sure hope you're right!

Maybe we'll see an extended version of the Ministry battle!?

[lil_snuffles]

I definitely love the versions they have been playing on ABC. I like all the extra scenes they added because some of my dvd's of the Harry Potter films (some of them aren't the special editions) don't have the extended/deleted scenes they have been showing.

[MasterOfDeath]

Nah, ABC family never chops up it's movies, that's regular ABC.

I doubt we'll get any scenes not on the DVD, unfortunately...but it'll still be cool to see how those little extended moments from the DVD fit into the movie proper.

Then again, this is Yates so you never know...maybe they will surprise us...I swear if there is a scene we've never seen before I will have a panic attack!

EDIT: Ok, so the Trelawnly eating scene wasn't included but Neville talking about how his gran called the daily prohet rubbish and canceled their subscription was added. This was a nice addition, Neville comes across as so strong and cool here and it's a nice intro to his new development in this film.

Watching ootp!

[NickHeartsMat]

I love ABC Family's HP marathons! I actually don't have time to watch OotP tonight but I have it recording on my dvr. I watched the first couple with my 3 year old (finally one of my kids will watch with me!). I don't know why I like to watch on tv when I have the movies (probably because I am lazy, and I like that they add the scenes right in )

I noticed that during the "extended" GoF they did add stuff back in but they also trimmed at least one scene. The scene in the potions closet with Snape and Karkaroff was there but the ending was cut off. They cut to Snape closing the door on Harry while he was in the middle of listing the ingredients to Polyjuice potion. "... boomslang skin... lace wing flies..." Door slams in Harry's face. The end of his line was cut out. Pretty silly if you ask me. It only amounts to a few seconds. They could have trimmed that from anywhere. Why cut in the middle of a line?

[weasley9]

I'm noticing a bunch of little extra bits during these DA scenes in OoTP!

[Nyjets4004]

yeah it says they have some deleted scenes that were not seen in theaters. but would they point them out cuz if they dont i might not catch em' if they do can u guys point them out for me?

That's because the new scene right after that has Hermione piecing together that Snape thinks they were brewing polyjuice potion. In the original edition, Snape says they are brewing poloyjuice potion which would make Hermione's line redundant.


The BEST new scene so far in OOTP was the one of Malfoy and cronies bullying those kids with Umbridge looking on, right before the scene where she invites Malfoy and the others to her inquisitorial squad. Finally, we get a little of that really, really evil, lowlife,awful, petty, scummy side of Umbridge from the book! She basically realizes she can use the school bullies as her personal band of thugs. So evil. Really spices up that montage.

I also think the part where Nagini attacks Mr Weasley was extended a bit.

Maybe we'll see Snape's worst memory extended! That would be amazing! Probably just wishful thinking on my part.

Also, there was a small bit where Snape was pulling Harry down the stairs towards the dungeons.

Really? I didn't notice anything different about nagini attacking Arthur...

Snape pulling Harry down the stairs was in the original film.

Nyjets4004, I'll post all the new scenes when the movie is over.
