Here’s one ‘Harry Potter’ scene you haven’t read
Steve Kloves, who, with the exception of “The Order of the Phoenix,” has adapted all the “Harry Potter” books for film, talks about the upcoming “Half-Blood Prince,” the confrontation between Alan Rickman’s Snape and Michael Gambon’s Dumbledore and reveals that he created an entirely new scene:
The showdown “is informed by everything [readers] have come to know is true,” Kloves says. “So, if you watch the film carefully, there are performance moments that are quite extraordinary, Alan Rickman especially. There is something we added that you can look forward to, a short scene between Harry and Snape prior to the big event. It’ll be interesting to see how it plays to the audience. It should be a haunting moment for Harry. I just had a notion about a moment between him and Snape, something Harry could look back on and question as to why he didn’t act differently.”
