omgomgomgomgomg i’m seriously about to wet myself im so excited. i must go and tell everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Boo…so, all the other books weren’t worthy of having all their content put in, but the last one is? There’s plenty of junk that can be cut out of DH to make it one movie. Good Gawd, WB, good Gawd. But I’m glad Yates is directing, I enjoy his work. It better be darn good, man.
The greatest news ever!!!!!!!!! I still say they should show both films at the same time with an intermission seperating them. That way they wouldn’t have to worry about when to end the first film and we wouldn’t have to wait 6 months for the rest. Nobody would have a problem watching a 4 or 5 hour movie if there was a bathroom/refreshment break in the middle. Who am I kidding – I’ll hold it in for 5 hours!
I don’t mind it’s a two parter, part of me is happy it is. But I have a feeling they aren’t going to include Dobby. I mean sure they introduced him in the second one, but we haven’t heard from him since. And it wouldn’t really be signficant to bring him back really, cause fans of the movies won’t understand, and will be like “Who cares about the houseelse” more in likely. I don’t agree with it, but I’m not getting my hopes up with these movies anyway. Especially with David Yates doing it. To me, OOTP was appalling. I know most of you don’t agree with me on that, but don’t yell at me about it either, cause I don’t care to hear it. Constructive responses are fine, bashing is not.
Anyway…I also don’t like the 6 month split. I can live with it, but I must say my friends are going to be annoyed with my rantings about having to wait so long. lol. Anyhow.
That’s just my two knuts.
John, i don’t know if YOU’VE noticed, but if you can’t take time out of your schedule or grow enough patience to not seem like a five-year-old for something you’re supposedly passionate about, then you’re not that passionate. how about you let us think what we think and you think what you think. she just gave her opinion. If they would show it in one sitting, WE’D go watch it the way it should be watched, and YOU can buy the DVD’s and watch fifteen minutes a day to fit it around your “busy schedule”
Well hmm, I’m not sure if I like this. EIGHT Harry Potter movies? Like the eight Horcruxes, maybe? Sigh.
Also, three years! Dang, that feels like a long time to wait. :-(
Yo, WB! You better bring it on. You better make this the best thing ever. And I want the awesomeness of Neville, and everyone else, recognized.
Wow! The official word at last after all of the rumors and speculation! 6 months in between is going to be hard for all of us….whether we are happy for a split film or not. So I propose a 6 month long celebration of some kind (Leaky gods that be, are you reading? :-) to keep everyone going during the hiatus!
Boy am I glad I checked my Leaky news before going to bed. I am so stoked now, I hope they do get everything in! I did like OotP but was sad Yates left out so much, but what he did do with it many people liked, so hopefully this will be the opportunity to see him shine. Yay Harry P:-)
Not crazy about Yates since I felt his treatment of OotP lacked some of the magic and emotion that I enjoyed in previous films. I’d much prefer Cuaron. Anyhow, I’m glad there will be two films for DH.
The two part movie is nothing new. WB already did it for the last two Matrix movies. One reason is financial of course. HP is WB’s main milking cow after all. lol. But the other reason is more humanitarian. HP fans will have major withdrawal symptoms after the last movie is shown. Let’s all draw out the pleasure as long as we can…
@ Ryder
Lots of ppl don’t like Yates because he took out a lot of stuff, but let’s not forget: this was WB’s condition for any director doing hp5: it had to be short! So that made all them stuff get cut out. I personally was happy with Yates, for it seemed to be the very first time the young actors did this well. And one can say Cuaron is best, but he left out waaay more: the Marauder’s Map? He disappointed me there, however much he impressed me with other stuff…
@ Ryder, part 2 ;-)
Oh and the Dobby thing, unfortunately, you might be right, I hadn’t looked at his importance that way. But on the other hand, when we watch any other (non-hp) movie, they can get us to care about a character as well, so why not get the not-reading viewers to care about Dobby in this one? I think it’s perfectly possible. I HOPE it is!
YAY YAY YES YES! EIGHT HP MOVIES! I’m so happy and Yates was so amazing in Ootp I’m so happy he’s making all the final books (which are all my favorites!) YAY!
@Emmy
No. I disagree. I think Columbus was the best. Though he did the shortest books, they were by far the best.
I have no problem with the shortness of OOTP, I have a problem with how everything is so centered on Harry and not on any of his relationships. About the only one is with Cho, and sure it was fine, but not that good. My judgement on the movie could be really poor though, because the last time I saw it was in theatres. But I believe I remember it clear enough to know it was by far my least favorite. POA comes next. The firebolt AT THE END OF THE MOVIE? shakes head in dismay
i really dont like this idea. i mean come on the books already one now their gonna split it up. its gonna be even more stupid if it takes like 6months after part 1 for part 2. this is bassically a jelly filled dounut without the jelly filling.
@Cella: I think Saffron meant she didn’t have any kids =)
