... 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.

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.

There's something I didn't like much about it. It seemed pretty rushed and it was kinda weird that it was silent. But hey, that's just my opinion.

I thought it was a good idea it brings more sadness IMO

Plus everytime i see that scene i always scream "NOOOOO"...hehe a little audience participation... Laughing

It made it more dramatic but that's about it. Although having Sirius die IS pretty tragic/dramatic/blah blah. I miss that man...

I think it was good at the end because it showed harrys emotion of when he died because if he went really quickly it wouldnt look like harrys was as bothered as he would be in the slow mo

I liked the slow-motion, but I wished you could just hear Harry faintly going "Noooo...." or something.
