Personally I do enjoy the idea of a 2-part movie… Kill Bill was split as such, though it didn’t need to be (IMO) but that it REALLY worked well and I’m so biased at this point about DH that I honestly can’t see how they’d fit that entire book into a 2 hour film.

I’ve gtg hope however stays on keeps up the defense of a good old long one part movie. Don’t split up our DH!

NOOO!!!!!! NO NO NO NO NO UGH I CANT BELIEVE THEY WOULD EVEN SUGGEST SOMETHING SOOOOO HORRIBLE AS THIS!!! I AM SO MAD I AM FURIOUS!! FIRST OF ALL THEY CAN NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SPLIT THE MOVIE IN HALF THAT WOULD RUIN EVERYTHING!!! I MEAN EVERYTHING! I AM A BIg!!! HHARRY POTTER FAN AND I WOULD BE ULTIMATELY DISSAPOINTED!!!!!! I HATE THE THOUGHT OF THIS!!!!! I DONT CARE IF THE FLIPPEN MOVIE WAS FREAKIN 92 HOURS LONG!!! ITS NOT GOING TO BE SPLIT INTO HALF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SECOND OF ALL SPIELBERG ARE U FREAKIN KIDDING ME! OKAY HES REALLY GOOD BUT HES NOT BRITISH HE HASNT BEEEN WORKING WITH THE CAST/ACTORS COMPARED TO ALL THE OTHER ACTORS HE SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!! I NOW PRAY THAT THIS “RUMOR” IS FALSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I AM PRACTICALLY IN TEARS OVER THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hmm, I’m not sure about this yet. Spielberg is a great director, but I’m not so sure on how he’d be with DH. If he had been working on it all along then it would be different, but having him just come in for the final installment may be a bad call.

2 parts. That’s got me thinking. The pros are them keeping a lot more in than they have in previous films and more detail, but the con is we’d have to wait to watch the second half! I’m not so sure on how a lot of us would fare waiting at least another 6 months for the next movie. Personally, I think it’s a huge rumor that WB is going to shoot down. I don’t see how they could cut the book in half (although someone did say it would probably be after Dobby died or the whole Greyback thing). Either way, it would leave everyone hanging, and the darn non-readers would be completely confused. I’m kind of on the fence about this. I think it would keep a lot more in, but is it worth that wait? I guess since we waited years for the book, we could wait a year for the end of the movie…

VERY SMART MOVE ON WB’s PART…IF THIS IS TRUE. They couldn’t have possible made DH in a anything less than 4 hours!

That would be really incredible!

Amanda, honey calm down a bit. lol, deep breaths. it’s nothing to get that upset over. We’ll have to deal with it no matter what, but I understand where you’re coming from. However, Christopher Columbus is American and Cuaron is from Mexico so they’re not worried about where the directors come from more of their skill level. WB is going to do what they want, but they’re going to try their best, just like they have with the last 5 movies. I would prefer an extremely long movie 7 (cough and movie 6 cough) but that’s probably not going to happen. Heck, if they do a 2 parter, it may not be too bad.

They wouldn’t rename part 2, it would just be “PART 2”.

I think I’d rather have a two parter than a short film. Heck, if they’re going to work into putting as much detail as possible, I would settle for a two-parter. When I rewatched OotP, it kind of dragggeeeed on. I wouldn’t like a 7 hour movie, to be honest.

i dont like the idea of there being two parts but the speilburg parts a deffinant good idea. as long as the movie captures the amazment as the book did im down

I would be all for the two part Deathly Hallows. I wonder at which part they would end the first half… Probably after Shell Cottage before all the crazy stuff happens, or maybe that’s too into the book already. Then they could make this really long movie out of the last part of the book and leave everything in…

Yay!!!! That means a very londg movienessieness! That’ll mean they’ere not going to cut a lot from the last book! Finally! But I don’t think spielberg’s quite the typr for this film…he’s more of a sci-fi person than a fantasy person. But I don’t know, cuz all of the directors up to this point are either former kids’ movie people, romance movie peoples, comedy peoples, or gritty TV-for-adults people. I’d just rather have Alfonso Cuaron or Guillermo Del Toro, and maybe (not likely) Peter jackson.

I really hope they make it 2 parts, so they can fit everything in it. I know it would be frustrating not getting to see all of it in one bit, but having more would be so worth the wait.

That sounds like a * rumour. I typed the swear word in with stars but it starts with a B if you want to know what it is.

Next it will come out saying New line will be producing Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

Come on there is so much you can cut from Deathly hallows it is ridiculous to think that it is going to be a two parter. Most of the book they are in a Tent. come on you are not going to need much to say they are moving around in a tent.

start off with Lord Voldemort accendant 5 mins for that, maybe 10 because they are walking. 5 mins for the departure of the Burrow they can cut Dumbledore’s Memorial and just say Daniel’s already read it.

Where are they going to cut it and make another movie, when Harry gets attacked by Nagini. Please they are just going to cut it up and leave a lot out of the movie. Spielberg going to be the next director you have got to be joking. Some one thinks it is Fred and George’s birthday I reckon.

Nope nope nope. I’m not really buying into this right now. It would seem so… odd… for WB to do this. I don’t really see the great advantage to having a two-parter- just b/c more stuff is packed in doesn’t mean that the movie will be better. But I guess two parts wouldn’t be too bad if done well… But whyohwhy would WB ‘test out’ a new director on the FINAL film, even if it is Spielberg? I’m betting they’ll go with someone they’ve had experience with, probably Yates or Cuaron. Besides, is the Daily Mail the one that isn’t always reliable for news? Well, who knows- I guess we’ll have to wait and see what happens. :/

I wouldn’t mind a two part movie at all. It’d need to be 8 hours long to fit in all the important information they’ve cut out of the other movies. I’d love to see someone like Spielberg at the helm. Just NO MORE CUARON hatchet jobs please!!!

Honestly, I watch these movies and enjoy seeing the kids grow, but after the first two they’ve just gone downhill into “See my great special effects action scenes!” movies.

Where the special effects should be good, they’re awful. The centaurs are supposed to be handsome, highly intelligent beings, but we got Neanderthals with hooves! (wheels off rubbing forehead artery)

Well, put me in the camp of not being too thrilled about this rumor. I’ve always believed that a two part Harry Potter movie would be a bad idea. First, you have seven books, you should have seven movies, not eight. Secondly, for me ticket prices play a part. I’m a 20ish year old single woman with expenses. Already my movie going has had to be drastically cut down in the past year. As much as I love Harry Potter, I’m not going to spend twice the money on what should be one movie (to put my point into perspective, lets also take into account large families, I have neighbors that have 8 kids at home who all love Harry Potter and the Harry Potter movies, normal night at the movies for them is about $50, give or take (so going out is a rarity for them). If it’s split into two they’d be looking at spending $100 for what should be ONE MOVIE). Which also means forget about seeing it more than once in the theater. No, if it’s split into two, my butt will not be in that theater seat.

Like others, I feel that if Lord of the Rings can be successful with 3+ hour installments, than DH should have no problem being one movie while still maintaining what’s critical to the story line.

For now, I’m personally holding onto the hope that this rumor is just that, a rumor (just my personal opinion).

i dont mind having to watch a 8 hour long movie :] i dont think fans would like having to wait year or more just to see the second half.i dont really think spielberg would do a good job (no offense) but i agree with leggers get someone with experience.i just hope the movie turns out great in the end :D

yes! but no…i want this but how long will it take to get released?? and what if i accidently see the 2nd part first?!

I LOVE IT. The producers for the Potter franchise are very careful with the films, especially since so many people are invested in it. They employ so many individuals, so if they’re able to keep them employed longer, that is also amazing. After the Potter films are over, a lot of people will be out of a job, so if you think about this from an economic standpoint it helps a lot. Also, we’ll get more of the loose ends tied up hopefully without having to cut too much. They’ve made so much money off of this franchise, they could drop it right now and all still be rolling in money. I see the possibility of two films allowing them to actually put in the creative process, give the book justice, let them do what they love a bit longer, keep people employed a bit longer, etc.
