| | Video: David Yates talks deleted Ron & Hermione Deathly Hallows: Part I scene
David Yates spoke to MTV about a deleted scene shot for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I involving an intimate and tender moment between Ron and Hermione while the trio were on the run, which, thankfully, will make the DVD extras, out next year. Quote:
"There are a couple of things that we've lost that just didn't quite survive," he said. "I did this wonderful scene between Hermione and Ron. I wanted to explore their relationship a little bit more, so when Ron leaves it really breaks your heart.
"There was a scene we shot up in Scotland; it's a scene where Ron is showing Hermione how to throw a stone on a lake, how to spin a stone on the lake, and Hermione is being really girly about it. She's got a really rubbish throw, and she has to insist that Ron show her how to spin the stone to sort of entice tactility and physical contact, and it's a really funny, tender and moving scene," Yates described. "They're both very funny in it, but it ended up on the DVD because the overall tone of our film, as you know, is quite intense."
"The DVD extras, I would guess there is about 10 or 12 or 15 extra minutes," Yates revealed.

I really loved the movie but I wanted to see when remus comes to Grimauld place and that he is going to have a baby with Tonks. And I am little disappointed with the wedding because those of my friends that haven't read the book still don't know who was getting married  But I can't wait untill next movie |

| its time to choose between what is right and what is easy
i loved the dance it was a light moment between friends..i thought it was good to show because it showed how stressed and tense it was to be on the run and how little they had any happy moments
i agree i would have liked to have seen more ron and hermione moments obviously because i love them but i thought there was enough little moments in the movie that im not in a this would make it or break it for me for the film..
if anything im more mad about harry not saying the line about hermione being like his sister..or the fact that no mention about harry's wand casting the spell on its own in the battle..or the lack of fear from voldermort.. or not even mentioning the other horcruxes possible locations while they are on the hunt for .. the horcruxes!
and i thought dan did a great job with harry <3

PS He ruined H/G in OotP, HBP and DH, as well! I tend to agree, but the fact that he shot it with the intention of putting it in the movie does say something about him at least. Don't forget, that scene isn't even in the book and he had no obligation to even shoot it, it was his own idea! And it's not like he added a brand-new cute Ron/Hermione stone-throwing scene just so that he could tick off Ron/Hermione shippers by saying he deleted it in favor of the Harry/Hermione dance scene. He shot it because he wanted to give the shippers another cute scene, and he thought it would be a great addition to the movie by showing Ron/Hermione starting to get a little more physical with each other. And maybe he really just didn't think that it fit in context, in the end. That whole sequence with Ron feeling paranoid and jealous and angry was pretty dark, and it did set up his leaving well, so maybe Yates genuinely thought this scene was just TOO cute and romantic in the middle of all that. At least the Harry/Hermione dance scene has a really sad and dark undertone to it that fits the movie.

Had Yates stuck with the book in terms of Ron dancing with Hermione at the wedding i would probably agree with you. However, even the small moments that Ron/Hermione had really wasnt enough and still left a lot of doubt there. I think adding the "stone" scene would of set it up perfectly because according to the book Hermione becomes "devastated" by Ron's dept. I think the stone scene would of made everything better personally. And of course the line about "Hermione being like a sister" would of helped dramatically as well.

I agree with that too, and yes, more context to Hermione's devastation (which I think was still portrayed very accurately) would always be a good thing. But as someone said above, there are so many different facets that go into making a decision on a movie, and I think the real problem isn't that Yates ships Harry/Hermione or anything, but it's just that he seems kind of disorganized and like he doesn't have a really clear idea of the movie in his head before he shoots. It seems like he's more the kind of director who likes to shoot a bunch of scenes and then string them all together in the editing room. So he was probably out in Scotland, thought "Hey, Rupert and Emma! I got a great idea, let's shoot some footage of you guys throwing stones together!" and then in the editing room, thought "Aw, this is a great scene, but doesn't really work in the movie like I hoped." We saw the same thing happen with the ending of Part I, where he had to change it last minute because it didn't work like he hoped it would. That's the real problem.

Yea, cant argue with you there. I dont know if Yates is a shipper or not but i think you hit the nail no the head in terms of if he has it planned out before shooting. I have no problems with the last two movies in terms of how they unfolded or were shot but this one seemed very chaotic in terms of direction for me. I do realize he only has so much room to put scenes in but the going back to the dancing scene i half way expected the song to be playing to be a more upbeat and light hearted tune. Now, if Harry is going to cheer Hermione up it would be that kind of song in my opinion not a more down trodden and weepy song. Either way, i just hope Pt 2 can rebound and finally clear the air of some of the sketchiness from Pt 1.

Why oh why wasn't that scene in the actual film?! I absolutely adored the scene of Harry and Hermione dancing but i think this went the wrong way around. That scene should've ended up on the DVD extras instead. I don't understand why they cut out scenes that actually follow the storyline of the book and then add scenes that aren't really in the story... well, that Ron/Hermione scene wasn't in the book either, but it certainly would've been more true to the storyline. But i don't want to complain too much, i loved the film and the dancing scene  at least we'll get to see that deleted scene later. Looking forward to it |

Do you think that WB will send an ultimate edition of this movie like with the first and second one? I hope so! Because if they do that we'll can see the scene include in the movie *_*

I thought the dance scene was a nice way to show how Harry is thoughtful of Hermione and wanted to cheer her up a bit (and as we see at the end it didn't work anyway). Because there's nothing worse than a miserable stop-Voldemort mission partner.

I hope that's on there! Besides, what happened to that bit during the wedding where Hermione is dancing with someone and Ron looks on jealously?
And we'll have to wait to see a bearded Ron during Part 2. |

Here's what happened: Krum sits next to the trio at the wedding and Hermione "looked pleasantly flustered". He asks about Lovegood and Ron says he's the father of a friend of theirs in a "pugnacious tone", then he "added abruptly to Hermione" "Come and dance". "She looked taken aback, but pleased too, and got up. They vanished together into the growing throng on the dance floor." Then of course Krum asks if they're together now and Harry says "Er - sort of."
But that's it. There's no description of any dance, they just go off together and the focus shifts toward Harry and finding out about Gregorovitch - which is the scene they *really* should have left in. |

Fair enough, but i did find it odd that Yates actually filmed Hermione dancing with Krum (which of course he left out but may put in the DVD). The thing for me is that the whole R/HR relationship still remains stagnant to me and it really should of focused on them coming closer and although there were a couple of moments it just didnt seem any different than stuff we've seen before. I know what is supposed to happen in Pt 2 but i think Yates missed the boat with how he handled the relationship in Pt 1.

Aww that sounds so cute! I can't wait to get the DVD  I kinda can't believe people are getting so angry though  Come on guys, there were still some sweet Ron and Hermione moments like the piano scene! And him wiping the blood off her cheek! At least they kept the bit where they hold hands at Grimmauld Place  And besides it not like you can't just watch that part on DVD  Plus, lets remain positive maybe there'll be more Ron/Hermione in part 2! I for one, thought the Harry and Hermione dance was really touching, and I'm glad they added it to the movie

I still enjoyed the movie as ive seen it twice now since its release which i have never done with any of the other films. But, i did go into it with certain expectations and hopes which i felt they fell short upon. Wont stop me from loving the series or even watching it again i just felt it could of been way better. But like you, i did love the piano scene.

Can't wait for the DVD and all those deleted scenes! Hope they'll release the DVD before Part 2 comes out.

I hate that they had to delete any scene. I know it's unrealistic, but I'd love the whole book to be filmed!

I'm really glad they cut it. I love Ron and Hermione, but if it was that or the dancing scene I would gladly take the dance. We saw a lot of Ron and Hermione in the movie, and this scene sounds a lot like the one with the piano. I definately am very happy with the fact that they cut out the rock scene but kept in the dance.

but at the same time, i'm glad that they cut out this "tender" scene between ron and hermione because already there is so much being revealed about their budding relationship, that anymore would've been too much.
(it would've taken away from their final kiss)

He cut so many important scenes from the book, why not cut another invented scene?
