TWO PARTS WHAT???? Does that mean we’d have to wait time in between releases?

I KNEW IT! The only way to do justice to this franchise is a two-part Deathly Hallows. They wouldn’t have to cut anything. I just hope Speilberg doesn’t do it. I don’t want Williams back for score either…even though he is brillant…I think the films have turn in a direction that he is not good at composing.

Yes LemonFaerie. I personally feel having the first half end with the death of a certain house elf…that or when they get capture by Greyback.

They said that Goblet of fire was going to be two parts also, but they managed to get that (and Order of the Phoenix) each into one movie. And they’ve been cutting out sub-plots all along, so they’ll be able to get everything into Deathly Hallows that needs to be in there and do it all in one movie.

That would be awesome if Steven Spielberg did the seventh movie. WE don’t want an re-Oder of the Pheonix movie where two minutes and the scene it over. It has to be BIG!!! and exciting and NO ridiculous editing.

hmmm, I wouldn’t be opposed to a two-part Deathly Hallows. I always wondered if they would consider it. Although this is only rumor, it’s still exciting nonetheless!

As for Spieldberg….Please NO! He’s a great director but after finding out what he wanted to do with the first film, I’m not sure he’d be the best choice. Guillermo del Toro or Cuaron would be perfect though!

Two parts? To fit everything in, sure, but I don’t think fans would be too happy to have to wait to see the 2nd half. There would have to be a way to rectify that somehow.

I am all for a nice long movie to get everything in, but no way do I want to wait a year or more or whatever in between releases, just so they can make more money on ticket sales. Release it all at once with an intermission, ala Gone With the Wind, get a great director (NOT Spielberg) and do it justice, but don’t make us wait any longer, 2010 is far enough as it is.

To do justice to DH, I think it should be in two parts, hopefully we don’t have to wait a year before the next release like LOTR. For Warner Brothers, what is there to decide, the Potter series are the highest grossing series of movies, I believe, ever. So DH cost 250 million, OTTP grossed almost a billion and that’s before DVD sales. What Risk?

I’d perfer a 3 hour movie than a 2 part movie. Its a 7 part series not an 8 part series. BUt at least I got some of the big news I’ve been begging for.

I do not think for a second that WB is thinking only of money for this decision. They want to do justice to the book and to the fans. JKR has said how thrilled she has been with how the WB have wanted to keep with the books. We have been anticipating that DH would come out in June or July (if WB keeps with the pattern for the past 7 or so years). So part one can come out in June/July of 2010 and part 2 can come out December of 2010. That’s still keeping it in one year. I would hope that they would release a version (either in movies or on dvd) that you could see the movie in one sitting. Here’s hoping.

WOW! Do NOT like that idea at ALL. If you have to make it 3 hours I don’t care but making it into two parts is probably not a good idea. I also can’t imagine how they would end the first half its just to confusing in some ways. I would love to see Alfonso direct the last one i think it would be really good. As for the Great battle at the end…Please not another 5 min battle scene like in Order of the phoenix and thats it. Make it the best there ever was like 10-15 min.

I aggree with Sam 100%, and I think they could have done that for OOTP or GOF, instead of cutting all of the sub-plots

WoW if its true it would quite the deal

Just make it 4 hours, we won’t mind…

lol wow 4 hours thats really long…..

I would watch it, maybe only once haha

I must admit to mixed feelings.

While a few projects like Lord of the Rings and Gone with the Wind have worked well with very lengthy pieces, others have not. With the right director and scriptwriter, it might work. But they have to be careful with this.

As for Spielberg, I too am very skeptical. I really enjoy a lot of his work, but I’m not sure he is the right man for this particular project.

If they did it, I would hope we get more of the character development for Ron and Hermione (BOTH of them. I LOVE the locket scene with Ron, which I pray isn’t overly simplified or done away with).

I think most intense potter fans (including myself) that the movies will never do the books justice. However as a movie with no relation to the potter books at all Deathly Hallows is gonna be an amazing action packed movie. However if it was split in two not only would it completely alienate it from the books, but it would also mean the movie would end at a weird spot causing confusion for non-readers (not that they don’t deserve it :P). Anyways thats just my two cents on the whole thing.

Well I like the Spielberg aspect….this film needs to be epic.

But when I saw the words two parter, I freaked! There is NO way that they should do that. Elongate the film to three hours, perhpas, but split it…nuh-uh.

Not if you want this to be the film people remember. This series needs to go out with a bang…one big loud impressive leads to acadamy nods bang.

Not two fairly good bangs.

WB would be shooting themsleves in the foot if they did that. I pray to god none of this is true.

Well, if it is true, I’d bet ten galleons the first half will be called “HP and the Deathly Hallows” and the second “HP and the Elder Wand”. It’d mean a huge pay day for everyone(WB, JK etc.) if it was released in two parts, particularly because it could all be filmed at once. Plus,that would put the 2-half of DH coming out around the same time the World of Harry Potter opens it’s gates at Universal.
