yeaaah

Not too happy about Yates directing again coz i was dissapointed with OOTP but hopefully he’ll do it justice and not leave anything out this time. fingers crossed! In the press release they said they wanted to be true to the books, thats total crap. Its a money scam. If they wanted to be true to the books they would have made OOTP longer and more detailed, focusing on relationships. I thought the Harry/Cho thing was a joke, and why was there only ONE Ron/Hermione scene. Anyway i’m not gong to complain or mention the long list of mistakes I noticed in OOTP there’s no point. I just hope they do better with the next 3 films. Anyone agree? If you dissagree thats fine I don’t mind, please don’t bite my head of for having an opinion.

@ Panz , whether you think so or not its not to make more money – Dan already said that its in the best interest of the book and its the last film. I am very happy about it, there are alot of things that are too important to keep out and explain, I just hope that they bring back some of the other characters like Dobby. And all the actors return.

Victoria – it has to be after Ron comes back and they can end on an up note celebrating the destruction of the first Horcrux.

I see many of you like Yates as director. There was a lot of venom towards him in responses to the last article and I didn’t understand it. I liked Order of the Phoenix – Umbridge was a gem and young Daniel Radcliffe’s t-shirt was just the right level of tightness in the opening scene – reow!

I think Shell Cottage would make the most sense in my mind. Yes, it’s not in the middle of the story, but it ends on a dramatic note: The death of Dobby. Then you can begin part two by breaking into Gringotts. There are a couple of problems though: 1) we haven’t seen Dobby since film 2. Will none book fans care if this weird creature dies? 2) Part two will be a little short, but definitely action packed. The battle scene could be an hour and a half in and of itself.

The one thing I think they have to do regardless of where they cut the film will be moving the Xeno scene to earlier in the film. You can’t call a film Deathly Hallows if it’s not explained in the first part of the film.

I am reading Deathly Hallows again with a new “atitude” ... sort of …. Now it is like “Oh Good they can include …” rather than “I hope they don’t have to edit out …”

I am so looking forward to actually seeing wonderful details on screen rather than just in my mind’s eye. Malfoy Manor, the return of Ollivander and Dobby, Bill and Fluer, the Battle at Hogwarts! ...the list is endless! I’m so excited!!!!!

I can’t wait to see the Epilogue … I know I will have tears in my eyes … I did with the book so I am sure it will happen with the movie!

I am so glad that WB had the insight to leave this monumentally important part of the cherished series in such capable hands! And that he accepted the challenge! I am not just referring to the Director but ALL the techies and actors that have labored so long to bring our favorite author’s cherished series to life!

Thank You Jo! and Thank You WB for staying true!

Good point mollywobbles: We haven’t seen Dobby since moive two so are people who have never read the books really going to care about his death. Its going to be so radom, in the films Harry hasn’t seen Dobby in years and he’s mourning his death. It won’t make sense to a lot of people.

I am ecstatic about the 2-Film Release of Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows – but only if the 2 Films are of decent length. Let’s hope that at least one of the Harry Potter Books gets the screen time it deserves.

I can see why David Yates would continue on with the Harry Potter Franchise to keep continuity. A rare director can, like Peter Jackson – pull out many tricks from their hat. Let’s hope the magic of Hogwart’s has rubbed off on David Yates.

I hope to see Professor Mcgonagal’s writing desks turn into fighting defenders during the War of Hogwarts. It better not be in the deleted scenes now that the Deathly Hallows is in two parts.

This gives me something to look forward to – I quite liked it when the Matrix series left you with a cliff hanger. Please don’t split the films when Ron has a pout fest and parts company with Harry & Hermione. That’s not a cliffhanger! People will just think Ron spoiled the film from continuing on.

If they wanted to be true to the books they would have made OOTP longer and more detailed, focusing more on relationships and character development. I thought the Harry/Cho thing was a joke, and why was there only ONE Ron/Hermione scene. The characters were badly portrayed i thought. The only two characters that were totally accurate were Luna and Umbridge. Anyway i’m not gong to complain or mention the long list of mistakes I noticed in OOTP there’s no point. I just hope they do better with the next 3 films. Anyone agree? If you dissagree thats fine I don’t mind, please don’t bite my head of for having an opinion.

I just implore WB to change the soundtrack compositor… Nicholas Hooper was AWFUL! Please bring back John Williams for Deathly Hallows! The only thing that, unlike other films, I didn’t like about OotP was the direction of photography.

They’ll probably still cut out Bill and Fleur in favor of Lupin and Tonks, Cat. It’s still not going to be the book on screen. I mean, you try reading the entire book in 4 hours, you can’t.

Kerrie (oh my god, I can’t believe I’m starting an argument with you again) You are wrong, it isn’t a money scam. Oh, don’t get me wrong, I don’t think they will mind the extra money, but what they are saying is true. Unlike the other books, DH nearly hasn’t got any subplots, everything is important. They thought about doing GOF in two parts, but in the end they didn’t think it necessary. I they were so hungry for money, they would have already split up that movie.

OMG this is so exciteing i am so happy they are going to split the movie in to two. Good Lock WB with everything…

Well, Luckily Gerard, we got a new cinemaphotographer for HBP. We can’t say the same for Hooper (but I kind of liked the soundtrack on OotP). It would be fantastic to have John Williams back. I mean it’s John Williams for goodness sakes. Can you imagine what music he would make for Harry’s death scene?

Kerrie, getting back to Dobby, I wonder if they will just kill Kreature instead? At least the audience would know who he is. Granted, the book fans will be pretty upset. I still don’t think we would get the same emotion out of it that we would if Dobby had been around for the last couple films.

Good point Redbeard we can never expect the films to be perfectly like the books. But saying that, I’m still annoyed that Bill and Fleur have been cut from HBP. I mean its the 6th movie and we still haven’t seen Bill or Charlie, Ron’s oldest brothers. its ridiculous. Also, how are they going to explain the wedding in DH without them getting engaged in HBP. And also, what about Bill getting attacked by Greyback, that was a huge event for the Weasleys and they aren’t going to include it? Thats madness! lol This is why I don’t like Yates….too much left out.

Does anyone else think its a bit ironic at how the movies are now going to be 8, not 7 as everyone thought/expected and that voldemort tried to make 7 pieces of his soul, but really ended up making 8? I dunno, kinda interesting to me, lol. Perhaps I need to stop re-reading DH…..

Two thoughts:

From the WB perspective, I think this has a lot more to do with the fact that MGM is going to release “The Hobbit” as two films in 2010/2011 than it has to do with preserving the integrity of Jo’s work! Let’s not lose perspective on this.

From the fan’s perspective, I am thrilled! I have to agree with Debbie’s third option, too. I think that after the destruction of the locket is the perfect place to split the films. It means that the first film will wrap up with a dramatic/heroic moment, but it will also leave the audience with a cliff hanger (3Hc’s down, 4 to go!). Plus, they can reuse the destruction of the locket as the beginning of the final film…going so far as to change the images that come out of the locket to recap the previous film, if they want. Plus, this will keep the Hallows story within one film and not leave a lot of hanging plot points at the end of part 1.

For me this is so great!!! Three more movies to wait for!!! My only worried is David Yate I do not know if he will be great to do final HP. Some fans didn`t like very much HP 5. For me I have to see the HP6 to decide.

In which part do they think will gonna split the movie? I hope it were in the Silver Doe.

I’m not gonna argue with ya Redbeard don’t worry. I just think that if they really wanted to be true to the books all along they would have done OOTP more justice. I’m not bother listing all the things that were missing and inaccurate thats a waste of my time lol.
