Good work. LOL. That is actually a really good idea. I can see it and everything. but i wonder if that’s too far into the film? I guess it’s not because that’s right before they get captured and taken to Malfoy Manor….
Hmmm…so how likely is it that they may show new footage or a new trailer at ShoWest on Thursday?
Is it possible that we might get new photos or footage with the release of all this new info? Possibly by the weekend…?
Oh! It’s all very exciting!
TML, i think i see your point. I think the trio gets captured by snatchers, right before malfoy manor (which might as well be death eaters). It would be easy to switch the two, but I guess my line of thinking had to do with everything in between these two points being lost, and i really don’t want any of it to be cut out. Harry obsesses with the hallows while they’re searching, and Ron gets reacquainted in the group.
After the horror of cutting that was OotP, I’m hugely disappointed that Yates, who refuses to make movies over 2 hours long, is still at the helm of this. His direction and vision of book 5 was awful. It’s the only of the HP movies I haven’t watched more than twice.
I agree that nothing can be cut out of book 7 – but I’m sure Yates will still find a way to do it.
@Celia
The position of PotterWatch could easily be moved to earlier in the film. That’s not really a problem.
I’ve actually written a whole screenplay for Deathly Hallows… I’ve gone over all these dilemmas before; granted, I did do it before the rumour of two parts came to be, but I still did it. All 188 pages of it. X.x If you don’t believe me… well… Melissa, John, or Sue can use the e-mail address I used to send this tip in to chat with me… ‘cause I DID do it. (I wasn’t fond of the screenwriting for the fifth film so vented by writing the seventh.)
I wouldn’t mind guest hosting on PotterCast. (Hint, hint)
I think everyone is forgetting something. David Yates completely rushed Order of the Pheonix so what makes you think hes not gonna rush these last two? PLEASE RESPOND TO THIS CUZ IM CURIOUS AS TO WAT U GUYS THINK
Thanks Celia!
I completely agree. I think in order to keep DH as accurate as possible, they can’t just cut something like that out. It might just make me really mad if they did, because it was SUCH a pivotal aspect that brings the trio together again. This revived hope is essential, and it really helps Harry move on, especially hearing friends voices.
I agree/disagree with a two part movie. But I do agree, if there’s two parts, with Madam Hooch’s idea of breaking it up before Dobby’s funeral. I would love to go to a Harry Potter movie where the entire audience is silent and crying. It will be a highlight of my life.
I’m not saying they SHOULD cut Potterwatch, I’m just saying they might since they might consider a scene with people just listening to the radio to be too slow.
TML, I can’t believe you’re serious about moving the Gringott’s Horcrux to make the story flow better. You’re kidding, right? That would be like deleting the whole Battle of Hogwarts to make it easier for Harry and Voldemort to have their final showdown.
Ah well, if I had my way nothing would be cut but I’m just trying to think like the makers of the movies will be thinking. I do like the idea of the Potterwatch lead-in to the second movie.
I blame the screenwriting and editing for the flop that was HP5. I don’t think it had to do with Yates. I don’t know if you noticed, but the acting was better in 5 than any of the others, the direction was better… it’s just the script and editing that lacked… and those really aren’t the directors bits. More the Producer, Editor, and Screenwriter.
I hope the same actor plays Olivander. We do not see that actor often enough. May be he prefers theatre. We do not even see him on British Television.
Chrismas may come more than once a year.
I’m happy it’s being split, but I wanted ALFONSO to direct at least one of them. I’m so sorely disappointed by this. Ron and Hermione are my two favorite characters, and Alfonso got pretty good performances out of Rupert and Emma. Now we’re probably going to see more of the same :( Oh well. The movies are fun, but I guess it’s about the books in the end.
OMG! i am so freakin excited! my sister called me to the computer and she was just screaming and i read what it said and i almost like died because my life was complete! i love david yates and now we have the full DH story in BOTH movies!!!!!!!! The only porblem with me is the wait. I can not wait for like 6 months for the other half. well, i love this book and i hope that the movieS will me awesome!:)
@Tyler
Removing or moving a Horcrux is not really detrimental to the story.
@Celia
Yep. That was the brilliance behind my little idea, there.
