153 minutes...Is the length of time Harry Potter fans will be sitting in a movie theatre, mesmerised by the magical cinematic experience on the screen before them for the latest edition of the HP series of movies. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince will officially run for 153 mintues. This will make it the second longest film in the series by a mere few minutes as Chamber of Secrets pips it for the longest movie. Ironically, the longest book of the series, Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix, has the shortest movie running time.
Harry Potter fans throughout the world will no doubt be rejoicing at this news. Many, and I am one of them, will be praying that Hermione gets about 152 minutes of screen time. This movie also marks many milestones in the movies, Harry and Ginny's first kiss, the death of Dumbledore and the final year of the trios attendance at Hogwarts. As this movie is no doubt going to be a spectacular success with hundreds of millions of dollars being made, I will admit to wondering whether the remaining two movies will be able to compete with this. The last movie will no doubt draw a large audience as Lord Voldemort is finally defeated and it is the end of an era for Harry Potter fans around the world. However, Deathly Hallows Part 1 is in danger of drawing a lucklustre crowd. But don't worry, Sanchez has created a solution that will turn Deathly Hallows Part 1 into the most watched movie of all time.
Now, Hogwarts is a co-ed school with boys and girls sleeping in the same buildings. Furthermore, the females are allowed into the males dormitories but not vice versa as the four founders did not trust the male wizards. The books and movies do show adequate amounts of 'snogging' but I believe more is needed. In the 21st Century, more than snogging is required to satisfy the viewers and to keep the movie relatistic. With the only physical action between the boys and girls of Hogwarts being kissing, many people may believe these movies to be fiction, which is clearl isn't, due to the lack of real life scenarios. Therefore, I suggest...
A sex scene.
Ok, get your breath back. I'll wait...So there they are, Harry and Hermione sitting alone after Ron abandons them in the forest. They are dripping wet and freezing from the cold rain. Harry, not noticing Hermione's eyes watching his every move, removes his shirt to replace it with a dry one. "Stop" she whispers to him from her cold blue trembling lips. Harry slowly turns to face her, and suddenly Hermione is there, inches from his face, her cold breath streaking across his face. She reaches out and grasps his hand, her touch is gentle yet dominant. She pulls herself closer, wary of breaking eye contact, as if it is somehow the glue that is keeping the moment together, and places his hand of her body, offering it up to him for the taking. He is torn. His mind is saying "No!" she is with Ron, but every other sinew in his body is craving her warmth, her body and her love, it isn't a want. It's a need...He takes it.
Well well well, Harry and Hermione, who would have thought. Okay, so its a bit off-script, but it is something almost everyone can relate to. Who hasn't been tempted by the forbidden fruit? In a co-ed school with girls discovering they are women, and testosterone filled teenage boys everywhere, this is bound to occur and will definitely reinforce the fact that the Harry Potter series is actually a documentary. With this single scene, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 will instantly become a classic for all ages, a blockbuster to defy all blockbusters. Not to mention, the amount of guys out there that would love to see Hermione in a sex scene, shiiiiiit! I would pay $11.50 to see that.
So for everyone out there who wishes this scenario to become a part of the film, to save the film, support the cause. Voice your opinions in the comments box or on the poll. Thank you.
