Harry Potter producer David Heyman has given a new video interview where he comments on the two scripts and breaking point for the upcoming Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Talking to Collider.com who let us know of their interview which you can see here, David Heyman noted he had just been in London discussing the scripts for DH part one and part two with director David Yates and screenwriter Steve Kloves. When asked about the breaking or ending point of movie one, Mr. Heyman said it wont necessarily be an action- packed moment but "an emotional and very truthful" point that fans will be happy with.
The Potter producer also makes some very positive comments on the sixth film, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince noting it is finished at this point, and has a running time of about 2 and a half hours.
I wonder when the moment could be? I have two hopes for it:
1. When Lovegood says: "Are you referring to the sign of the Deathly Hallows?" to the trio
2. When Ron leaves the trio
I hope they don’t cut the wedding scene at the start. Emma will look as wonderful in the purple ball gown as she did in the pink Yule Ball gown in GOF.
Rupert has a huge part to play. Some of Ron’s finest moments are in the Deathly Hallows. Such as his return.
Dan will get it right, as usual. As long as he looks engaged when other characters are talking.
As long as the director doesn’t do any weird camera shots like they did in number 5, with zooming in close ups and things. Please. Keep. True. To . The. Book. They didn’t keep very true in OOTP, which annoyed me.
It will be when ron leaves or when ron comes back. I hope it’s when he leaves because i guess ron is really truthful in what he says to Harry. whatever part it will be great :D
In my opinion, the best end to part one would be when Harry breaks the charms by saying "Voldemort" and they are grabbed by the snatchers. That would have the second movie starting basically at Malfoy Manor. By then everything has been established for the big action: Dobby, Gringotts and the Battle of Hogwarts. But since they rarely do what I think they should, I wouldn’t count on it.

the break has GOT to be Dobby’s death, and the beginnings of the time at Shell Cottage… 1) Malfoy Manor is an amazing climax… of them getting caught, of Pettigrew dying, hermione getting tortured, Griphook and Ollivander being freed and Dobby dying… It’s a huge climax followed by an emotional upheaval of Dobby’s burial and the setup for the rest of the story. This leaves Part 2 to begin with the planning of the Gringott’s robbery.
It’s an extremely natural place for the story to be broken apart, in terms of story arc and character development.

I would have liked Tristan’s idea to be used—-break it at:
"when Lovegood says: "Are you referring to the sign of the Deathly Hallows?" to the trio"
That would have worked brilliantly, imo. It would not be the expected emotional/action scene for a break. It would really leave the next movie on a note of intrigue (yes, we have read the book, but still!) Unfortunately (well the break is still good), they’re going for one of the more emotional cuts.
I don’t like to brag, but I did tell you guys HBP would be 2 1/2 hrs about two months ago. Kinda sad, innit, that a lot of Voldy’s past was cut despite the lengthier running time. Well, it’s still a good movie, but I hope they release extras in the Ginormous HP Collector Blu-ray set of doom, which are all the cut memories. That would be awesome.
I have to say this once more though, mmmmmmmm, HBP cinematography, mmm
"GET -- HIM -- OUT -- OF -- HERE!" Ron bellowed... Ron seized Scabbers by the tail and aimed a misjudged kick at Crookshanks that hit the trunk at the end of Harry's bed, knocking it over and causing Ron to hop up and down, howling in pain.
Hmm… Would this be when Ron leaves?
