I dont know why some of you are complaining that WB is just trying to squeeze more money out of us. THATS NOT WHY. they specifically said that they cant cut too many of the parts out so they are splitting it into two movies. AND WHY ARE YOU COMPLAINING ANYWAY. AT LEAST WE ARE GETTING MORE HARRY POTTER FILMS JUST LIKE ANOTHER HARRY POTTER BOOK (ENCYCLOPEDIA) you should be ashamed that you are accusing them of just trying to get money out of us. IF YOU’RE SO UPSET ABOUT IT THEN THERE IS ONLY ONE SOLOUTION. DONT GO SEE THE MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! JEEZ. ... MOST OF US ARE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THE TWO MOVIES AND YOUR NEGATIVITY IS JUST BRINGING US DOWN SO IF YOU HAVE ANY NEGATIVE COMMENTS….. DONT BOTHER POSTING THEM
THANK YOU.
They need two films if they want to put everything they left out in the 5 and 6 first movies !
Yay for two! And Happy Birthday Sue! This is the best present for you! :D
I like that we’ll be seeing a lot of DH on the big screen. Though kinda gutted, we’ll have to wait a bit longer to see the end. Now wonder where they are going to split it.
No,No,No,No,No!!!!!! I am so upset about this!!! I’m not so upset about Yates, but I really don’t like the idea of the two movies being split so far apart!!! I mean, the idea of releasing the movies about 6 months apart from each other is pure torture!! I think it’s wrong and cruel!!! Ugh! I am so mad!!! I mean, are they saying that by the time the DVD for part 1 comes out, we’ll get to go see the 2nd part?! Oh my god, I am so dissapointed!
YAY! And that goes for Yates too, though I’m a little sad (a lot sad) that its not Cuaron. OotP was good, I expect Yates will make the next three even better. :D
But OMG, we have to wait a whole YEAR for the next part?! .... ok,, not a whole year, lol, but still. This is going to be awesome either way!!!!!
One place to split it would be just after Xeno’s house, because then you are still close to the midpoint of the book, but you’ve introduced the Hallows, so the title will make sense. However, that’s not a very climactic place to end a movie. They’ll probably make the split later like Malfoy Manor or Shell Cottage like some people are saying because there is so little that can be cut from that point on that they’d have trouble fitting it all in to the second movie.
You can really tell now that Yates is indeed a TV director. I can just imagine the end of Deathly Hallows: Part 1.
RON: I get it, you choose him. HERMIONE: Ron, don’t go, don’t go! RON: disapparates HERMIONE: sobs VOICEOVER: Will Ron ever come back and reconcile with the love of his life? Will our heroes ever find the sword? Where will they ever find the remaining horcruxes? Find out, in 6 months, on the next episode of Harry Potter.
Gringotts can be easily cut; they can be captured fron Xeno’s rather than from a random spot in the camp. That’d actually help speed up the film.
Mixed feelings here. SO excited that Yates is staying on! Was very nervous Cuaron might come back, but now no worries about that. :) Also thrilled at the idea of very little plot being cut. BUT I can’t help but wish it were one long movie. I just think the first movie is going to be very lame and that we’re going to lose a lot by breaking it in two, but I hope to be proven wrong. I will stay optimistic and trust that these guys are pros. The other downer is, as many have mentioned, that it will take them TWO YEARS after HBP to come out with part 1 and then another 6 whole months for part 2!!! Good grief—what if we get hit by a bus between now and then???? But all in all, I can’t help but feel more happy than frustrated, mostly due to the talk about how they just can’t condense and slice and dice this one. I suppose the best thing is to not encourage our friends who haven’t read the book to go see part 1 until shortly before part 2…I just think part 2 is going to mean a lot less with part 1 so far behind it.
This is wonderful news! I am in complete agreement, w/Mr Heyman and others, that there is no way to “pare down” this book. No “subplots”...By the way, kids! The projected release will be 6 months…NOT a year! I know, it’s still a “long time”, but it will give everyone a chance to see the first half, and then the second. It’s so unfortunate when the movies are too close together…or too far apart. Either you don’t get to see the first part, before it’s “pulled” or you “forget’ what happened in “the first half” WOW! This is great. And, it looks like I got my wish: MR DAVID YATES, AT THE HELM!!!!! By the way, from what I’ve seen, so far, Mr Kloves is the perfect screenwriter. He’ll know just how to put it all together…..two movies….nothing “lost” in the translation! I’m jazzed! [can you tell???] LOL [and lest than an hour between the article, with Mr Lewis, and the “offical announcement!”
In fact, the split probably HAS to come after Xeno’s house or else no one will know what a deathly hallow is.
YES! I’m so glad there will be two parts to DH! I can’t wait, it’s going to be great. I’m totally fine with Yates directing the films since I loved what he did with OotP (although Alfonso would have been awesome too). Madam Hooch I completly agree with you that the arrival at Shell Cottage would be a perfect scene for the split.
Oh, wow. I love this. I think the cut will be made after Ron comes back, and they’ve destroyed the Horcrux. It just makes sense, since it’s exactly in the middle of the book, and we have a climax and all that. The last scene could be them apparating outside of Xenophilious house, and Yates will have like a majestic landscape and sappy music and all that stuff, LOL, I can see it right now!
