... when Sirius went behind the veil? I think it was an okay idea, and it was cool how he kinda just floated off, but it left me thinking, not of the loss of Sirius, but of the video effect itself. What do you think?

The silence and slow-motion didn't bother me . . . especially since it was described as being in slow-motion in the books. There were a dozen things about it that did bother me, though.

I rather liked it, actually. It made the whole scene more realistic, actually. You kind of got that Harry was seeing things as iff they were in slow motion, which, like Zen said, was how it was decribed in the book.

I think the slow motion and silence of Sirius' death added emotion to the scene. The slow motion allowed you too see the emotion on the faces of both sirius and harry without being distracted by noise. I like it

| I think it made it look better. But it was sad he even had to die. |

I think it was such an important part of HP so they made it last longer. If it wouldn`t be slow motion then in the battle it would be like... I dunno... lost.
And it was good that there was no sound, Dan screaming loudly would ruin the scene, I think.

| Harry's silent scream was very moving and sad. Reminds me of some of my worst nightmares- when something horrible is happening and nothing comes out as I try to scream. |

I don't know. I like the slow motion because you could see the looks on the faces. I think it could have been just as moving if they had the screaming and everything really quiet to where you could here it but not overdoing the scene.

That actuall happened to me in real life before. I found a gigantic spider crawling up my arm whilst I was reading in my mom's bed. I jumped up and screamed three long screams before anything ever came out.

If nothing came out by the third scream, I probably would pass out! Sorry that happened to you. Hope it didn't bite! |

That happened to me today. I felt like I was moving in slow motion but the spider was moving regular speed. It ended up on my shirt but I was jumping up and down so much it fell off.

lol, I did the same thing, and I tried to run out of the room, but the door just would open. My mom, aunt, uncle, and cousin were all in the kitchen listening to me fumble with the door. Then all of a suden they head me start screaming (when it finally came out.) I swear I could still feel that thing crawling on me even as I ran up the hall and into the kitchen screaming to get it off of me. They ended up finding it in my mom's closet. They thought I was being dramatic about the spider, but they soon found out that I wasn't. I can still remember looking into it's face with all of those little eyes . . .

I loved the slo-mo and the temporary silence. It just adds to the effect of how Harry is feeling when he slowly watched Sirius disappear behind the "veil" though in the movie, it isn't a veil. It just made the realisation of his death even worse me thinks... it made me cry a lot more with that slo-mo affect. Loved the screaming from Harry/Daniel.. Great!!!

i think it was very effective. and it was good when you could just hear Bella in the back after the dead silence.
