Happy Birthday, Books and Wands!
15 April 2008
Dearest Reader,

In celebration of our First Birthday, I present you with the
screenplay of
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Bear in mind,
this is in no way affiliated with Warner Bros. It is not the
official script of the movies to be released in 2010 nor have I
been privilege to such documents. And I most certainly did not
make any profit from this work.

This is merely a fan's scripted version of the events in the book.
It is, in fact, mostly JK Rowling with a little bit of me
sprinkled around. I took as much from her as I could, much of the
camera direction and dialogue is lifted directly from the text.

I did change certain things, however. Some events/people were cut
out due to length and relevance. The major changes I have made
were to clean up some of the indiscrepancies I've noticed.

They are more like gentle nudges. They are what I felt was true to
the characters without insulting or making fun or them.

I did not change anything radically, so there should be no fear of
this turning into the Delusional's version of the book. I kept
with the narrative, breaking only when I felt characters were
being mangled or assassinated.

I'm sorry, but you cannot justify to me in any way, shape or form,
no matter the excuse, that after seven years of friendship and
going to hell and back with a person you wouldn't show the
slightest bit of concern for their well-being. That being said,
you can understand then something like Harry's throwing some
blankets at Hermione when she is clearly distraught is something
that
had to change.

And so go the other changes. I sought to make the characters
(namely Ginny) more vulnerable and likeable as opposed to a
harlot. I tried to make clear their choices and explain the parts
I found confusing upon first reading.

Those of you new to the format may be taken aback. What you see is
the standard format of a screenplay for a movie. This is what
Hollywood looks at when producing movies.

There are a few terms you should know:
    V.O.   = Voice Over
    O.S.   = Off Screen
    O.C.   = Off Camera
    CONT'D = Continued

A parenthetical denotes how or to whom a line should be read.
