I just have this strange feeling that this is going to be one of those huge rumors that is going to be completely squashed by WB, or whoever, within the next few days. The whole thing just seems a bit fishy to me. I guess we’ll have to wait and see.

I’ve been saying this to anyone who would listen since they made movie three. And not just about the last one, about all of the ones that followed the third. And I still think they should’ve done the same with GOF, OOTP and HBP.

is it just me or does this sound scarily familiar??

Didn’t this same rumor come out about GoF? Or am I crazy?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When Spielberg was involved before SS he was making a pig’s ear out of the project. I would rather see it not done than done by him! And two parts BAH!

Lily – Whether you liked GoF or not is a matter of your own personal opinion, but to say that it was “the most slated by critics” is absolute rot, I’m afraid. Rotten Tomatoes puts it at an 89% critical approval rating, tied with PoA as the best-reviewed film to date…check for yourself if you don’t believe me. http://64.14.20.205/m/harry_potter_and_the_goblet_of_fire/

Also, there’s been so much drivel spouted in this topic about Spielberg, it’s untrue. No heart? Kiddy? This is Steven Spielberg we’re on about, one of the most acclaimed and respected directors alive today, author of one of the most diverse and consistently interesting bodies of work I can think of, from action adventure (Indiana Jones) to thriller (Jaws, Duel) to kids adventure (ET) to drama (Schindler’s, Private Ryan, Munich) to sci-fi (AI, Minority Report) to light comedy (The Terminal, Catch Me If You Can)...need I go on? He’s a versatile, consummate showman, with a superb visual sense, brilliant grasp of pacing and plotting, excellent handle on effects, wonderful control over actors…to me, the idea that he wouldn’t be up to directing DH is laughable. I don’t think he’d be interested, personally, but he’d be a suerb choice if he was.

I love Steven Spielberg, he’s fantastic, but I don’t think he’d be the right one to direct Deathly Hallows. And I also hate the idea of having two movies. Fans will certainly not be happy about it…I’d rather have one long movie…splitting it in two would make fans very unhappy, which I would’ve thought is something Jo certainly does not want…even if it does mean a slightly smaller pay check.

Yes to the two-part film (provided we have to wait less than a year and no more than six months in between each one) but a huge-massively gargantuan NO to Speilberg (or Peter Jackson for that matter). Hardcore yes to Yates, Del Toro, or Terry Gilliam-even though we know that’s probably never, ever going to happen.

Sorry for the double post, but that crosing out above was not intentional.

“Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows -The Three Brothers” (To the death of Dobby;)

“Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows -The Battle of Hogwarts”

2 films -each of 140 minutes -directed by one of the greatest directors in the history of cinema….

Wow !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All of prayers would be answered =Finally a movie that does the books justice.

No way should they have Fran Walsh on screenplay. Her liberties with the LOTR raw material would make Harry Potter fans twinge with agony (compared to Goldenberg and Kloves)

If they did do two parts they should wait to release both together like maybe like a month apart. kinda of like when they re-released the Star Wars Movies

ok first …. 2 PARTS?!!!! are u kidding … well if they follow the story line better than in the other films its ok with me if not well that sucks ….. second …. STEVEN SPILBERG??!!! r u kidding this is not a film of how global warming is about to cause the world to end so i dont think he is right for this movie…..

yeahhhhhhhh plz pzl plz make a 2 part movie it will be the best and steven speillberg is a greattttttttttt choice

yeahhhhhhhh plz pzl plz make a 2 part movie it will be the best and steven speillberg is a greattttttttttt choice

i hope they make the movie in two parts so that they don’t have to make any STUPID cuts that RUIN The movie. <sigh>. and i hope they don’t use any directions they’ve used in the past, the movies have been good but they just don’t live up to my standards (like they ever could, I’m a HUGGGEEEE fan-like most of you…haha)

the 7th movie better be good or i’m gonna hurt someone

=]

One thing is interesting at least. With the exception of the release of book 7 and the Dumbledore business, this one topic has already generated more posts than anything else over the past 12 months in a comparable time frame.

To my mind -this illustrates how mind blowing this proposition is.

No. No Steven Spielberg. No two parts. I want one big huge 5-hour Harry Potter movie directed by Guillermo Del Toro!!!!!!!!

Given the source, I expect this rumor is false… but I’d be pretty happy if it were true! I think it would be ideal for the movie to be 3.5 hours long, but splitting it makes sense to me if it could allow them to do the plot justice (unlike in all five films to date). Lord of the Rings is all one continuous story, and I don’t see anybody freaking out because it was published and the movie was made in three volumes. And HBP and DH are pretty much the same story as it stands, but the break in the plot at the end of the sixth book felt right. I’m sure there are plenty of logical parts where DH could be split. And I hope we get Spielberg, that would be great!

There’s no reason why DH would need to be a 2 part movie. WB is totally capable of making it a satisfying film, regardless of what they may need to cut or rearrange. And I doubt Spielberg was even considered…he was supposed to direct the first film, then had a tantrum because JK Rowling didn’t want him to butcher her story like he was planning to. He’s a hack director anyway. If Spielberg gets his hands on the Harry Potter franchise, it will go to sh* for sure. He’ll change the whole story to make it an alien movie.
