| | |  Warner Bros. releases full original Half-Blood Prince screenplay
Warner Bros has released the full original screenplay for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince as part of their awards campaign. It can be read here. Note: This is the shooting screenplay used for the film; several sequences were edited and removed by the time the film was released in July.
Significant sequences that were changed include Harry, Ron, and Hermione's trip into Knockturn Alley whilst following Draco and Narcissa Malfoy. While the three were shown sitting atop a roof to watch the action in Borgin and Burke's in the film, the script originally had Hermione get separated from Harry and Ron, and find herself near the shop, where she could see the Death Eaters. Quote: NEW ANGLE - ANOTHER ALLEY - DUSK
Hermione moves through the shadows, alone, peering down side streets, each darker than the next, lost, but holding it together, when... a SHADOW FLICKERS overhead. She looks up, sees a FIGURE (Greyback) leap from one roof to another. She stands perfectly still, then... hears VOICES.
NEW ANGLE - OTHER ALLEYS - DUSK
Harry and Ron race down one passage then another. Stop.
RON
Harry, where is she?
HARRY
I don’t know. I’m turned around.
NEW ANGLE - BORGIN & BURKES - BACK COURTYARD - DUSK
Hermione creeps to the end of a narrow passage, toward the VOICES, and finds herself... behind Borgin & Burkes. FIGURES encircle an old cauldron, among them Greyback, Bellatrix, Narcissa, and in the very center... Draco. Hermione squints against the brilliance of the FIRE, the FIGURES twisting like Giacomettis. Draco extends his left arm... when a SHADOW falls over Hermione, fingers find her arm. She wheels, terrified.
HERMIONE
Bloody hell.
RON
Sorry.
Just then, the cauldron EXPLODES with light. Instantly, the group, including Draco, disperses.
HARRY
What just happened?
HERMIONE
I don’t know.
Harry stares at the SMOKE drifting from the cauldron. Spinner's End, which was shown after Harry and Dumbledore's excursion to meet Slughorn, was originally set to be featured much earlier in the film, paralleling its position in the sixth book.
Various new, deleted, or changed dialogue can be read below: Quote: GINNY’S POV, looking up -- a dizzying perspective of twisting railings and crooked bedroom doors. A CLOCK hangs IN VIEW, bearing NINE HANDS, each inscribed with a Weasley name, each pointing to MORTAL PERIL. MRS. WEASLEY appears, looks down.
MRS. WEASLEY
What is it, Ginny? Is it your father? Has something happened at the Ministry? Has he been kidnapped? Is it the Death Eaters?
GINNY
Exactly. How’d you guess?
Mrs. Weasley throws her hands up over her face.
GINNY
I’m joking, Mum.
MRS. WEASLEY
You’re worse than Fred and George.
GINNY
Now you’re joking. I was only wondering when Harry got here.
MRS. WEASLEY
Harry who?
GINNY
Harry Dimpleton. Harry Potter, of course.
MRS. WEASLEY
I think I’d know if Harry Potter was in my house, wouldn’t I?
GINNY
Well his trunk’s in the kitchen. And his owl.
MRS. WEASLEY
I seriously doubt that. Quote: The survivors press ICE PACKS to their heads, run TAPE round twisted fingers. Only Ron, hovering at the west goal, and Cormac, hovering at the east, remain on the pitch. Luna, Spectrespecs in place, eyes Cormac -- cool, confident, clear. Then eyes Ron -- sweaty, nervous, SWARMING in WRACKSPURTS.
HARRY
All right. Cormac. Ron. It’s down to you two for Keeper. We’ll decide it with a shootout. Demelza, you’ll bring the Quaffle up against Cormac. Ginny, you’ll take on Ron.
CORMAC
Hang on. She’s his sister. How do I know she won’t toss him a floater?
GINNY
[Shove] off, Cormac. How ‘bout I toss you a floater?
HARRY
Quiet! I’m Captain. We do it my way. Now line up. On three. One. Two... Three!
Demelza and Ginny rocket forth. Ron weaves nervously while Cormac hovers in place, a confident sneer on his face. Quote: HAGRID emerges out of the trees, beard crusted in white, looking like a crazed Father Christmas. Behind him, deep in the woods, DARK SILHOUETTES -- AURORS -- can be seen. Hermione eyes them briefly, then nods to the PULSATING BURLAP BAG Hagrid clutches in his fist.
HERMIONE
What’ve you got there, Hagrid?
Hagrid tips open the bag. The trio grimace. Hagrid CHUCKLES.
HAGRID
Stinksap. Burn the whiskers right off yer chin. Trees ‘ere are drippin’ with it.
HERMIONE
Stinksap? You’re not sick, are you?
HAGRID
It’s not fer me. It’s fer Aragog. Yeh remember Aragog, don’ yeh?
RON
Spider? About six feet tall? Ten feet wide?
HAGRID
Tha’s the one. He’s taken ill. I’m hopin’ ter nurse ‘im back. Keep yer fingers crossed.
Hagrid crosses his fingers. Ron forces a grin, does the same, shakes his head as Hagrid disappears back into the trees.
RON
Barking. Does he not remember that raving arachnid tried to eat us? What?
Ron sees Hermione staring at the Aurors again.
HERMIONE
The Aurors. I know they’re here to protect us, but... somehow I don’t feel any safer. Quote: INT. COMMON ROOM - NIGHT 95
Hermione does her homework while Harry peers at the Marauder’s Map. They are the only ones present.
HERMIONE
Did you actually expect you could just walk up to Ol’ Sluggy and ask him to reveal his deepest, darkest secret? Honestly, Harry, sometimes I think the Daily Prophet should call you the Dim One.
HARRY
Nice. Quote: INT./EXT. GARGOYLE CORRIDOR - LATE DAY 118
Harry stands at a window, looking out. He brings his fingers to his chest again when... Hermione comes up behind him.
HERMIONE
Harry. It’s time.
Harry, Hermione and Ron walk.
HARRY
Hermione, is the Room of Requirement unplottable?
HERMIONE
If one wants it to be. Why?
HARRY
It would explain why I thought Malfoy was leaving the castle when he disappeared off the Map.
HARRY
He was going to the Room of Requirement.
HERMIONE
Of course, and that explains the Vanishing Cabinet as well!
RON
No. I got an owl from Dad this morning. The one at Borgin & Burke’s? It’s still there.
HARRY
But I’m telling you. I saw it --
Just then, the twins appear, pass. Harry watches them, a thought forming.
HARRY
What if there are two? Vanishing cabinets.
HERMIONE
What if there are? Quote: HARRY
Sectumsempra!
Bang! Snape wheels and once more sends Harry flying onto his back. Harry stares at the stars as they wheel over him, when Snape comes INTO VIEW.
SNAPE
You dare use my own spells against me, Potter?
Harry goes still. His eyes shift, meet Snape’s.
SNAPE
You may have gotten your mother’s eyes, but you’re as dim as your father. Yes. It’s me. I’m the Half-Blood Prince. The Half-Blood Prince DVDs can be pre-ordered via the following links: Standard DVD: Amazon.com (one-disc); Amazon.com (two-disc); Amazon.co.uk Blu-ray: Amazon.com; Amazon.co.uk  | |

The screenplay was closer to the book than the finished product. That much is obvious.

Harry just stares at her. She cocks her head, smiling, *

HARRY *
Yeah. I do. But do me a favor. *
When I’m around? Keep the *

HERMIONE *

She glances at Ron, shakes her head. *
HERMIONE *

HARRY *
Funny, he says the same about you. *
HERMIONE *
Yes, but I’m exceptionally *

HARRY *
You’re brilliant. You both are. *
Harry looks off again and Hermione follows his gaze. She *

Did they do this with OotP in 2007? I personally have no idea, and since this is for awards season, they may not have previous years up anymore, unfortunately. Believe me, we'll be checking for DH part one for next year's.

I wish they'd kept some of Ginny's scenes in, like that part at the tryouts where she said something about giving McLaggen a floater. That wouldv'e shown a little more of her to the audience.

This is SOOO AWESOME!!! I think this is the first time they've ever done this! I think they should've kept in pretty much everything, but I think the scene with Hermione getting lost in Knockturn Alley would've fit perfectly in the film. It was soo creepy!! I would've loved to have seen that. 
The extended version of the end scene with Harry, Hermione, and Ron would've been great as well. They seriously need to do extended versions of these films. It would not hurt WB to just make a 3 hour film and put the 30 minutes of deleted footage on an extended dvd. Like they did with the LOTR movies.
I just love the whole thing! Steve Kloves is a magnificent writer!! He's AWESOME! His use of description is so good...and it has to be considering he's adapting JKR's brilliant work!
But I loved this so much I saved it to my computer!

I just want to throw a few personal tidbits about the script. I think it's fantastic that WB released it, even if it is for the awards season, because it lets fans as well as Academy members recognise and appreciate the work put into the films, including what we don't get to see. I admit that a couple of things in the script that didn't make the final cut were shown in various behind-the-scenes features back in July, so it was nice to see that in the original script, too.
Also, don't forget that we are getting quite a few deleted scenes from HBP with the DVD (including the first one WB released, which came straight from the script here). There's still a strong chance we might see a few more of these great deleted scenes (well, at least I hope so).

The original screenplay had a lot of the elements from the book, even though it wasnt line for line, especially the Quidditch sequence with Ron, Harry, and Ginny...I'd have loved to see that much more of Ginny as an actual quidditch player...and it explains why Ginny was behind Harry in the actual film.
Guess its not Steve Kloves that we should hate on lol cuz he did his job...its just Yates and the others I suppose. =)
