Deleted Ron/Hermione Scene in DH1

Director David Yates revealed that there will be an additional Ron/Hermione scene on the DVD of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part One. The DVD may feature 10 to 15 minutes of footage that wasn't used in the theatrical version of the film.

Apparently this photo was from that deleted scene, in which Ron is teaching Hermione how to skip stones on the surface of a lake in Scotland. According to Yates Hermione isn't very good at this and she insists that Ron teach her the proper technique. Yates claims that this is a funny, tender, and moving scene.

I love the way he is looking at her. May I have my DVD now, please?

Ron/Hermione Praised in Deathly Hallows Film Reviews

The Ron/Hermione romance was one of the best things about the new Harry Potter film. I'm glad these reviewers agree.

"I couldn't really fault the acting, but ironically even though Radcliffe's Potter is the focal point of the film, the un-requited love affair between Granger and Weasely produces most of the emotional fireworks."

"Hallows 1″ has nice moments of humor even as the trio travels through forests and chilly tundra. Most notably, Ron and Hermione's maturing (but still cutely immature) relationship offers many giggle-worthy moments. Rowling has always excelled at writing wry little bits that make a reader smile, and after a decade of making these movies, Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson know how to exchange glances in just the right way to make a moviegoer giggle with glee. Note the scene where Ron unnecessarily calls for a vote on where they should go next, bluntly jumping at the chance to agree with Hermione so she'll like him again.

Harry doesn't have as much to do in "Hallows 1," but that's fine; I didn't exactly crave the familiar sequences of him cringing when his scar hurts, and with the spotlight on Ron and Hermione, Harry comes off as mature and contemplative. The short shrift given to his love life will disappoint some: His relationship with Ginny is underplayed, and I'm guessing they'll barely have time to bond over a butterbeer in "Hallows 2." Harry gets more love-esque scenes with Hermione than he does with Ginny; those are cute but tension-free, because it's already clear that Hermione is Ron's girl, and that Harry is fine with that.

As for me, I didn't like the way the film showed Harry appearing to have an attraction to Hermione when Ron leaves. That is completely out-of-character for the honorable Harry Potter we know from the books, a bloke who would never make a move on his best friend's would-be girlfriend or betray the girl he truly loves, Ginny Weasley. I'm glad that the film showed that Hermione clearly wasn't interested in Harry and is totally in love with Ron. You can quote me on that!

I'll post my own review here later, but for now I'll say that Rupert Grint and Emma Watson did an outstanding job of portraying Ron and Hermione's love for one another. They were both wonderful in this film.

This is my favorite Emma interview so far. It's just so funny! (Watch it and you'll see what I mean.)

Deathly Hallows Clip from the Ellen Show

Here's a clip of Harry and Ron in the Malfoy's dungeon with Luna, Mr. Ollivander, and Dobby. We get to see Wormtail coming to fetch Griphook, Ron's deluminator, and more!

Spoiler Alert! More cute R/Hr moments from DH1

Apparently the first 40 minutes of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part One has leaked on the internet, and before you ask, I'll tell you. No, I don't have a link to the footage, and no, I have not watched it. I am content to read about these wonderful little Ron/Hermione moments that we can expect to see on November 19, 2010. My information comes from a couple of reliable Harry Potter fan message boards and tumblr.

Spoiler concerning the "Seven Harry Potters" arriving at the Burrow: Ron arrives at the Burrow and still looks like Harry. Hermione looks over at the real Harry then runs to hug Ron who is starting to look like himself. Ron looks sheepish and says 'thanks,' then Tonks says 'he deserves that– wouldn't be here if it wasn't for him'. Hermione says 'Really?' and Ron says 'Always the tone of suprise' (but it's in a flirty/sweet way not in an angry way like it is in the book). Hermione sighs and takes the glasses off Ron. Then Harry comes flying at them. (This was posted at the Rupert & Emma Forums.)

"Always the tone of surprise."

I am so glad they kept this line in the film. This scene is going to be so cute. I love it!

Also, it has been confirmed that this still of Ron is indeed the moment when he sees Hermione in her fancy red dress at Bill and Fleur's wedding. He stares at her, absolutely transfixed by her beauty.

I blogged about this picture a few days ago, and it looks like I guessed right about this one.

I've got lots of cute R/Hr stuff here: http://phoenixweasley.tumblr.com/ That includes a few U. S. premiere pictures from this evening.

I wish Harry and Draco could have a moment like this in the film. It would be nice if they were finally reconciled.
