Harry Potter and the Fateful Missions
About This Fan Edit
final cut CompleteGenres: adventure, fantasy
This movie is a blank spot in my head because I didn't know what it's about. It's a real mess without a good focus, so the mission was to find the core plot and restructure it and get rid of the distractions. The titular Halfblood prince is not really very apparent throughout. Nearly none of the deliberating of the books is in this movie. So the Halfbood Prince idea is pushed further to backstage. The book is simply a tool that Harry uses to get the luck potion and to attack Draco. The two main threads of the movie are Draco's mission to kill Dumbledore and Harry's mission to get the information about Horcruxes. There is a subplot of romance and that is important for character development across the series, so that is also focused on. Everything else is either kept to support these plots or removed if they do not support them. It's also colour graded to not be so dingy, or to accentuate dangerous situations.

Summary: used reframing, colour contrasts, also some creative transitions, always fun! These can really add weight to character moments, for example having the train effectively run over Snape after the unbreakable vow.

* removed deatheater sequence, attack on diagon alley and Muggles on bridge

* removed snape unbreakable vow scene for earlier insertion
* reduced the Weasley joke shop sequence to just focus on main characters and setup of the romance plot-line
* adjusted the framing for Draco's sequences to represent a feeling of claustrophobia
* removed Luna fixing Harry's nose, to reduce distractions
* Inserted Quidditch tryouts directly after first potions class, rearranging shots to take focus off the state of the team and onto Ron x Hermione

* in first Dumbledore's office scene, removed Dumbledore quizzing Harry about his love life
* completely removed memory of dumbledore meeting Tom Riddle for the first time as it is unnecessary distraction
* inserted memory of Tom questioning Slughorn, more firmly establishing Harry's mission early on

* immediately prior to Katy being hexed, inserted bird calls to add thematic resonance with the birds outside room of requirement
* cut last shot of harry during the Snape, McGonagall, necklace scene, so Snape's reaction is accentuated.

* completely removed attack on the burrow, including Remus leaving and Ginny shoelace. it doesn't add to the story

* removed Harry directly confronting Slughorn
* inserted EXT of Hogwarts from earlier only showing Draco looking out and the castle
* removed Harry apologising to Slughorn for the event that was removed

* added a glow to the luck potion sequence
* when dumbledore tells Harry to hide, introduced the claustrophobic framing to his shots
