Yay! 608th post! ;) But, seriously, why have one movie when you can have two with twice the fun!
YESSSSSS!!!!!!!! WOOOHOOOO!!!! Having a party now…hehehehehe
“I swear to you it was born out of purely creative reasons,” Heyman said during an interview. And I swear to you that very big money was involved and now WB are celebrating. I wonder why wasn’t WB so worried about cuting previous films and changing the plot of the other films compared to the books. Anyone who says that only ,,creative reasons” played a role in the decision is stupid at the least.
yes…......two part deathly hallows. i think part one should end after ron and harry have destroyed the hocrux. and part two should start when they are heading back to the camp. that will be wicked!!
It is so flattering to note that WB has actually been reading my posts on various Harry Potter websites and taking my advice! I’ve been saying the 7th book needs to be two films ever since I finished reading it. Futher – the November/May theater dates will provide for DVD release just in time for Christmas (can you imagine – not only the two disc DH set but the EIGHT disc entire collection—cha-ching!).
Here’s another suggestion: End the first film after Ron and Harry recover the Sword of Gryiffindor and open the first horcrux. Second film can begin w/ a flurry of newspaper headlines & maybe a snippet from Lee Jordan’s radio-cast to get us up to speed on what’s going on in wizarding world and speculate about Harry Potter’s whereabouts – camera zooms in on tent in Forest of Dean and the adventure resumes. (are you writing this down? This is Oscar gold!)
Professor Potter – with you on the sandwich. Classic ending.
c’mon people,who cares if wb get a bit more money,WE GET TWO FILMS!!and i dont’ mind a bit of waiting,i mean now there’s no more books to come and it feels so bad…but with three more movies to come we got Pottermania extended ^^
Kael of course there is big money in it but as for it being the driving the decision to make 2 movies is wrong. It was 100% totally the fans demanding it. Why do you think Jo OK’d it so quickly? The push was on once the book was read and has been a bone of contention for a long long time which is why it has taken them nearly a year to figure out what they are going to do. You have to remember it takes a LOT of time to put together a movie from R&D, screenplay, actors contracts etc. Everyone has to be on the same page and I’m damn sure that they will have had to work around a whole lot of people’s schedules to pull this off. After all, we are talking 8 movies with the same character. The young ones may be OK with it but the older actors have other projects and other things they want to do. To get everyone together is a feat in itself and the fact it took them this long to announce 2 movies tells me they’ve talked to everyone because everyone is in the last 2 movies (except Cedric, God rest his soul).
I am BEYOND excited at 2 movies :) I assume they will film it like they filmed Pirates of the Caribbean 2&3 at the same time. Makes for a long shoot but for continuity’s sake I think it really is the only way to be done.
ron – I guess I was composing my post before I read yours – so weird that we were saying the same thing at almost the same time. It’s a sign.
Grate I am moste pleased with the Fact, that there are going to be 2 Parts for DH.
After I red the book I was worried how much they would have to cut out and what, because it was clear they could never fit everything in one movie.
So again, grat that they are doing 2 Parts.

WOW guys already over 600 comments??? We are good!!! 1000-bring it on!!!!
This is REALLY BAD NEWS. i am so upset I can hardly type. I am crying right now all over the keyboard. “Purely creative reasons”???? That is the biggest LIE I ever heard in my life!!! How dare they say they can cut nothing out of Deathly Hallows when the trio spend the middle part of the story just camping all over Britain and doing nothing else??? Do they really consider us all braindead-stupid and incapable of watching one long film? Haven’t they made enough money already that they want more and more and more? I don’t want the Potter saga to end, but an eighth film, unfortunately, does not mean a new story. We will just have two very bad seventh films full of scenes that are not in the book in a desperate attempt to make a bit of sense (probably because the script writer has JUST realised that Snape IS an important character after all… Doh!) It breaks my heart, but I won’t be watching them. Sorry.
I am very pleased that there will be two movies. However, why the November 2010 and May 2011???? When have we had to wait two full years between movies? A nice June 2010 and November 2010 seems doable. I hate to be strung out.
That is what you called Great news…... that the only thing that enlighted my day so far…..
I’m trill. It’s so great news.
I am look forward for these.
THANK WB and so many more
“Artistic decision?” It’s about increasing profits for all those involved. Of course Jo was “cool” with it, it’s all about money! Another movie also keeps Dan, Rupert and Emma fresh in people’s minds which keeps them marketable awhile longer before they test the strength of their careers independant of the franchise.They could have made one movie, but I guess no one wanted the gravy train to end. That thought takes away some of the magic, I think.
