As most people know I work on the HP films and I have a spoiler.

A whole new action sequence has been added which involves the Death-Eaters (including Bellatrix) attacking The Burrow which results in The Burrow catching fire and being destroyed. There is then a fight in the reeds which surround The Burrow.

I have received some of the script which includes Quidditch, some of The Burrow fight and Dumbledore and Harry going into a memory. I will type this up sometime during the week and post it on here.

NOTE: This guy has typed up accurate portions of the OOTP script before the movie was even out, so he seems legit.

Here is some of the Quidditch scene.

RON
C'mon, Harry. We've got a game to
win.

CLOSE UP - QUAFFLE, as it ROCKETS into the AIR...

60 EXT. QUIDDITCH PITCH - DAY

Instantly, Slytherin snatches the Quaffle and rushes en
masse toward Gryffindor's end, weaving and passing with
wicked skill, culminating in a vicious, slicing shot on
goal. Just when it appears it will clear the hoop, Ron
streaks out of nowhere and sends the Quaffle screaming in
the opposite direction. Ginny pauses on her broom, stunned.

GINNY
What's gotten into him?

She glances up at Harry, circling high above and he grins.
Just then, Dean streaks by:

DEAN
Ginny! Let's go!

Instantly, she rolls backwards, jets off and races down her
fellow Chasers. Flying in spread formation, Dean--on the
far wing--starts the Quaffle "up the line" until it lands
in Ginny's hand. Pitching herself into a wide slide to
avoid a PAIR of WHISTLING BLUDGERS, she leans recklessly
off her broom and whips the Quaffle through the goal
untouched.

As the CROWD SCREAMS, Harry eyes the Gryffindor section,
where Luna's LION HAT ROARS, Lavender CLAPS for Ron and
Hermione sits with her arms crossed, a look of supreme
annoyance on her face. Harry grins, jets off.

61 INT. GRYFFINDOR COMMOM ROOM - NIGHT

The room teems with students celebrating Gryffindor's
victory. It feels like Mardi Gras. Or a mosh pit. Or a
riot. And Ron is right smack in the middle of it.

CROWD
Weasley! Weasley! Weasley!

Harry takes his backslaps on the periphery, smiling as he
sips a Butterbeer and enjoys Ron's turn in the spotlight.

HERMIONE
Ron seems to be enjoying himself.

HARRY
Yep. Apparently it's his lucky
day.




---




Here is the fight surrounding The Burrow.


Without hesitation, she races for the reeds.

84 EXT. REEDS (SURROUNDING BURROW) - MOMENTS LATER - NIGHT

Harry careens through the marsh, reeds flashing past, then
spies Bellatrix. She GRINS, looking like a crazed wood
nymph, then flits off, her LAUGHTER mocking him. As he
pursues, FIRE SNAKES through the reeds toward him.

NEW ANGLE

Fred, George, Ron and Arthur fan out, running full-out,
their feet kicking up SPARKS as SHADOWS splinter throughout
the reeds. It's like chasing ghosts.

NEW ANGLE(S)

Ginny, copper hair gleaming, races through the reeds.

Bellatrix leads Harry on, grinning madly.

Ginny comes dashing to a halt, chest heaving as she peers
into the smoking marsh. A HUGE FIGURE QUIVERS through a
veil of smoke. Ginny's eyes SHIFT, see Bellatrix racing
forward through the reeds, then SHIFT back as the veil of
smoke evaporates, reveals...Greyback. Bellatrix makes an
ODD, CLICKING noise--like a signal--and Greyback edges
forward, sweeping away the reeds in front of him and
revealing...

...Harry as he pelts forward.

GINNY
No, Harry! It's a trap!

Harry falters, looking toward Ginny's voice and spies
Greyback. Bellatrix stops dead, wheels in her tracks and,
seeing Ginny, SHRIEKS with RAGE. Raising her wand, she
fires a BOLT of RED LIGHT which explodes in a SHOWER of
SPARKS around Ginny. Ginny fires back, then wheels away,
flashing through the reeds coming face to face with...

Greyback, sharp teeth glittering.

GREYBACK
Don't you smell clean.

Just then, a BOLT OF BLUE bursts off Greyback's back and he
turns, sees Harry standing several yards off. As Greyback
gives chase, Ginny pelts after and we CUT back and forth
between Harry, Ginny and the beast between them, faster and
faster, their BREATHS shortening until...

Greyback rushes into a clearing, panting, glancing about.

Just then, TWIN BOLTS of light blast from opposite sides of
the clearing and Greyback is lifted in the air, slammed to
the ground. As he regains his feet he looks into the reeds
and sees Harry and Ginny, wands poised. He grins...when
Bellatrix's odd, CLICKING signal carries through the night
once again. Turning away, he exits.

Harry and Ginny slowly step out of the reeds, stare at each
other wordlessly. Then...Ron, Fred, George, Arthur and
Lupin come thrashing into the clearing, stop. All around
them, the reeds SMOKE, the flames dying. Across the marsh,
Bellatrix's cackle rises briefly on the air--then all is
quiet.

HERMIONE (O.S.)
You're lucky you weren't killed.

85 INT. CORRIDOR/HOGWARTS CASTLE - SAME TIME - DAY

Hermione reads the Daily Prophet as she walks alongside
Harry. The HEADLINE is GLOOMY: `MORE DISAPPEARANCES.`

HERMIONE
You have to realize who you are,
Harry.

HARRY
(sharply)
I know who I am, Hermione,
alright?
(frowning)
Sorry.

HERMIONE
So tell me what Arthur said.

HARRY
If Dumbledore's traveling places,
it's news to the Ministry. But
get this: that night at Borgin &
Burkes? It seems Draco was
looking at a Vanishing Cabinet.

HERMIONE
What would Draco want with a
Vanishing Cabinet?

HARRY
You tell me.

Hermione frowns, pondering this. Then:

HERMIONE
He looks different, don't you
think? Draco. Almost...ill.

HARRY
Who could tell the difference?

Here is a scene with Harry and Dumbledore when they go into Slughorns memory, the one where he doesn't tell Tom about Horcruxes. I also have the scene where Slughorn does tell Tom about Horcruxes and will post that after.


LAVENDER BROWN
That's my Won-Won.

HERMIONE
Excuse me, I have to go vomit.

As Hermione exits, Harry spies Ginny, in an alcove, sitting
by as Dean laughs with SEAMUS. Looking up, she sees Harry,
gives a feeble wave. He waves back. CUT TO:

86 INT. DUMBLEDORE'S OFFICE - NIGHT

HARRY'S FACE PLUNGING INTO WATER, BREAKING THE SURFACE...

87 INT. SLUGHORN'S OFFICE/YEARS PAST - NIGHT

We emerge from the CRACKLING EMBERS of a FIREPLACE. A much
younger--and more smartly dressed--Slughorn probes a dish
of CRYSTALLIZED PINEAPPLE as he holds court before 16-YEAR-
OLD TOM RIDDLE and five other BOYS. The CRYSTAL HOURGLASS
sits on a side table.

TOM RIDDLE
Sir, is it true that Professor
Merrythought is retiring?

Slughorn chuckles, wags a sugar-encrusted finger at Riddle.

SLUGHORN
Now, Tom, I couldn't tell you if
I knew, could I? I must say,
m'boy, I'd like to know where you
get your informatoion. More
knowledgable than half the staff,
you are.
(as the other boys laugh)
By the way, thank you for the
pineapple--you're quite right, it
is my favourite--how is it you
knew?

TOM RIDDLE
Intuition.

Riddle smiles but his expression suggests intuition had
nothing to do with it. Slughorn chuckles uneasily.

SLUGHORN
Good gracious, look at the time.
Off you go, boys, or Professor
Dippett will have us all in
detention. Lestrange, Avery,
don't forget your essays...

As the others file out, Slughorn busies himself with some
papers when--Ping!--he turns, finds Riddle still there,
standing by the crystal hourglass.

SLUGHORN
Look sharp, Tom. You don't want
to be caught out of bed after
hours...

TOM RIDDLE
I know a secret shortcut or two.

SLUGHORN
Yes, I imagine you do. Something
on your mind, Tom?

TOM RIDDLE
Yes sir. I couldn't think of
anyone else to go to. The other
Professors, well, they're not
like you. They
might...misunderstand.

SLUGHORN
Go on.

Riddle slips off the RING on his left hand, begins to roll
it between his fingers. It is set with a BLACK STONE.

TOM RIDDLE
I was in the library the other
night, in the Restricted section,
and I read something rather odd,
about a bit of rare magic, and I
thought perhaps you could
illuminate me...

Suddenly a DENSE FOG engulfs the room and SLUGHORN'S VOICE
twists into an ANGRY SHRIEK:

SLUGHORN
I don't know anything about such
things and I wouldn't tell you if
I did! Now get out of here at
once and don't ever let me catch
you mentioning it again!

The FOG grows thicker and...

88 INT. DUMBLEDORE'S OFFICE - NIGHT

...CAMERA emerges from the swirling Pensieve. Harry blinks,
finds Dumbledore studying him from across the room.

DUMBLEDORE
Confused? I would be surprised if
you weren't.

hmm, i like the idea of an extra battle scene. but that's because after they mangled my favourite scene i don't really care what they do with the next two movies. i don't like the idea of the burrow burning down... i like the burrow! and half of this script seems to revolve around showing how wonderful and special Ginny is...

Here is the scene where Slughorn tells Tom about Horcruxes. This is the last part of the script I have.


DUMBLEDORE
How is he? Horace?

Harry shrugs. Dumbledore nods, then tips his hand. A LONG
strand hangs suspended like glass. A pearl forms...and as
it hangs...Harry's eyes shift, notice a DRAWING on
Dumbledore's desk, one of Tom Riddle's drawings seen at the
orphanage, of the CAVE and the distinct OUTCROPPING.
Then...the pearl drops.

116 INT. SLUGHORN'S OFFICE/YEARS PAST - NIGHT

As before. The CRACKLING EMBERS of the FIRE. Slughorn, a
circle of six. Riddle commanding the room.

TOM RIDDLE
Sir, is it true that Professor
Merrythought is retiring?

Slughorn chuckles, wags a sugar-encrusted finger at Riddle.

SLUGHORN

Riddle slips off the RING on his left hand, begins to roll

TOM RIDDLE
I was in the library the other
night, in the Restricted section,
and I read something rather odd,
about a bit of rare magic, and I
thought perhaps you could
illuminate me. It's called, as I
understand it...a Horcrux.

Slughorn's weak smile evaporates altogether.

SLUGHORN
Excuse me?

TOM RIDDLE
Horcrux. I came across the term
while reading and I didn't fully
understand it.

SLUGHORN
I'm not sure what you were
reading, Tom, but that's very
Dark stuff, very Dark indeed.

TOM RIDDLE
Yes sir. Which is why I came to
you. I mean no disrespect to the
rest of the staff, but I thought
if anyone could tell me...it
would be you.

Slughorn frowns, clearly disturbed, then speaks quietly.

SLUGHORN
A horcrux is an object in which a
person has concealed part of
their soul.

TOM RIDDLE
Yes, I thought it might be
something like that. But I don't
understand how that works, sir.

SLUGHORN
One splits one's soul and hides
part of it in an object. By doing
so, you are protected should you
be attacked and your body
destroyed.

TOM RIDDLE
Protected?

SLUGHORN
That part of your soul that was
hidden, lives on. In other words,
you cannot die.

Riddle nods and TURNS AWAY, staring at himself in the
MIRROR on the wall opposite. A hint of RED glints in his
eyes.

TOM RIDDLE
How does one split his soul, sir?

SLUGHORN
I think you can guess the answer
to that, Tom.

TOM RIDDLE
Murder.

SLUGHORN
Yes. Killing rips the soul apart.
It is a violation against nature.
After, one is never the same.

TOM RIDDLE
Out of curiosity, sir--can you
only split your soul once? For
instance, isn't seven the most
powerfully magical number--

SLUGHORN
Seven! Merlin's beard, Tom! Isn't
it bad enough to think of killing
one person? To rip the soul into
seven pieces...
(stopping; worried)
This is all hypothetical, isn't
it, Tom? All academic...

TOM RIDDLE
Of course, sir. And I promise
I'll not speak of our
converstaion. It'll be our little
secret...

Riddle reaches out then and pinches the FLAME of a candle,
killing it. As SMOKE RISES, we DISSOLVE into...

117 INT. DUMBLEDORE'S OFFICE - SAME TIME - NIGHT

...the surface of the Pensieve, where Riddle quivers. We
RACK FOCUS and Dumbledore's troubled face bleeds through
Riddle's.

HARRY
Sir--

Dumbledore holds up his withered hand, silencing him, turns
away. Harry studies him, waiting, the hush palpable.

DUMBLEDORE
(haunted)
This is beyond anything I
imagined. In my life I have seen
things that are unimaginably
horrific. I know now...you will
see worse.

Dumbledore looks off, his eyes distant. Harry watches him
intently, as do the HEADMASTERS in their frames above.
Finally, tentatively, Harry speaks.

HARRY
Do you mean to say he succeeded,
sir? In making a Horcrux?

DUMBLEDORE
Oh he succeeded. And not just
once. Think, Harry. He's just
told us.

HARRY
Seven. He made seven--the most
powerfully magical number.
But...what are they exactly?

DUMBLEDORE
They can be anything. The most
commonplace of objects. A ring,
for example. Or a book...

Dumbledore slides open a drawer, removes the RING and Tom
Riddle's battered DIARY.

HARRY
Tom Riddle's diary--

DUMBLEDORE
It's a Horcrux, yes. Four years
ago, when you saved Ginny
Weasley's life in the Chamber of
Secrets, when you brought me this--
(holding up the diary)
I knew. This was a different kind
of magic. Very dark. Very
powerful. But until tonight I
had no idea just how powerful...

HARRY
And the ring...?

DUMBLEDORE
Belonged to Voldemort's mother.
It was difficult to find and...
(raising his damaged
hand)
...even more difficult to
destroy.

HARRY
But if you could find them all.
If you did destroy each
Horcrux...

DUMBLEDORE
One destroys Voldemort.

Harry begins to reach out for the ring...

HARRY
But how would you find them? They
could be hidden anywhere,
couldn't they...

DUMBLEDORE
True. But magic, especially Dark
magic...

Just then, as the flesh of Harry's fingers make contact
with the ring, IMAGES FLASH by in DIZZYING succession:
VOLDEMORT'S FACE, twisted in pain. A DERELICT HOUSE, deep
in a haunted clearing. An ANCIENT CUP, gleaming as it
tumbles from an old woman's hand. A SNAKE (NAGINI)
slithering through damp grass. Dumbledore slipping the ring
onto his finger, recoiling as his skin decays...

DUMBLEDORE (CONT'D)
...leaves traces.

Harry's clenched hand SPASMS, RELEASES. The ring skitters
across Dumbledore's desk and Harry brings a hand to his
chest, a look of bewilderment on his face. Dumbledore
watches the ring spin down, then glances at Harry and
slowly extends his own hand, lightly touching the center of
Harry's chest with the tips of two ashen fingers, as if
reading braille, as if he can somehow "see" into Harry's
heart. Trepidation--and recognition--flicker over his face.
He looks up, meets Harry's eyes.

HARRY
It's where you've been going,
isn't it, sir? When you leave the
school.

Harry's eyes drift once again to the postcard on the desk.
Dumbledore withdraws his hand, nodding, still studying
Harry oddly, his voice, when it comes, distant.

DUMBLEDORE
Yes. I think...perhaps...I
may have found another. But this
time I cannot hope to destroy it
alone.

Harry peers into Dumbledore's eyes. Dumbledore nods.

DUMBLEDORE
Once again, I shall ask too much
of you.

118 INT./EXT. GARGOYLE CORRIDOR - LATE DAY

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.

119 INT./EXT. COURTYARD - MOMENTS LATER - LATE DAY

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.
He was going to the Room of
Requirement.

HERMIONE
Of course, and that explains the
Vanishing Cabinet as well!

Ugh.

Some of this script, if it's correct..needs rewriting.

"You belong in Gryffindor,
where dwell the brave at heart,
Their daring, nerve and chivalry
set Gryffindors apart."


I found it ok. Obviously they are cutting the memory which includes Morfin, Merope & Marvolo or omitting the part in which Marvolo wags his finger to show the ring. Just hope they do the book justice.

I heard parts of this script were in a trailer, so unfortunatly, this is real. I really didn't like Hermione's lines, like when she calls Mr. Weasley "Arthur" or seems more interested than Harry, in that Draco-drama.

Also, this isn't the entire script, and we probably aren't getting more, since the IMDB people found out about it and deleted the thread.

They need to just wait twenty years and remake the films, doing them justice.

I mean, they're not bad, but they cut some of the best/most important things.
