EMG!!!!
I KNEW IT’D BE THIS WEEK!!!
But May 2011, i’ll be 17 and a half!!! =O Older than Ginny
SAME AGE AS HARRY {bout time}
XD YAY!!! YATES!!!
SQUEEEEE!
The 2 parts will be shot back to back so (aka Back to the Future 2/3 style) so the kids wont be looking any older in the 2nd part. here’s a thought. What if each part was just 1 hour long?! Ha ha.
Pure brilliance! Ah dang, I’m glad this seems to be welcomed so warmly. This news makes Harry Potter seem all new again. How fun. Personally I think it should be cut right when Ron smashes the locked with the Sword of Griffindor…end it with a bang and a cliffhanger. But that’s just my opinion. Let the speculation continue!
Oh by the way, where the heck is our countdown widget for HBP? Huh? HUH??? ;)
You know I think a lot of us here would have loved one long 5 or so hours of a movie but few make it to 3.
DH though not the longest book does have the most going on in the shortest space and to cram it into 3 hours would be rushed madness. I means we all saw how rushed OotP was I think it could be as bad as that and then comes the question what would they cut.
With these two movies it gives them much more time to sum thing up and even possibly pick up things that were neglected somewhat in past movies.
As to were they cut it I think right after Ron destroyers the locket is a really good place. It’s central to the book and it gives some sort of climax. The funeral scene to me would be a bit to bleak for the end of a movie and could possibly put other people off.
Hey, do you guys think that this is like a record or something? This many comments? (How many times can you scream: “Yeeeeey, I love this news!!” before it get’s old. lol)
I hope they make the two films really really long, and they better not leave anything out. Wouldn’t it be great if they included the scene when Harry suspects Ron and Hermione of holding hands before they fell asleep? Or the one where Hermione is worried if it’s considered stealing even if she has left some money on the till? A good point to break the films is when Ron returns and Hermione attacks him and then they all go to sleep, don’t you think?
well, I’m really really pleased that they are addressing it from the perspective that you can’t cut stuff out! We’ll get at least 4 hours of DH now! My only concern is how they are going to make two films. I wonder if they will still put it all onto dvd so we get a decent 4+ hour DH story…
Hey guys, The Daily Telegraph says on page 28 that part 1 will be apprx ONE HOUR and 15mins plus a 15 min preview of part 2, where part 2 is expected to clock in around ONE Hour and a half. This is to get more showings on screen in a day. Just kidding of course, didnt expect anyone to fall for that but could you imagine the UPROAR if it were true – to be honest, I would be on the floor with fits of laughter from share audacity of it .
Well I’m not happy with Yates directing or Steve Kloves doing the screenply coz i was hugely dissapointed by OOTP but I am certainly happy with the two films. Maybe now they won’t leave anything out.
disappointed :(
I seem to be the only person in the world who didn’t think much of Heyman’s direction of OOTP. It was too schizophrenic – anyone who hadn’t read the book wouldn’t have had a clue what was going on. Bring back Cuaron !!!
Wish they’d do a mega 3 or 4 hour movie …
“I hate this idea. The actors will be too old for their parts by then!”
No, they are filming both at the same time, so they will still be as they would have been with one film: Emma 18/19, Dan 19/20, Rupert 20/21. That’s not too old for playing 17/18 year olds. Anyway in the last book Harry, and presumably Ron, end up with stubble so they’re going to look older anyway.
I like people’s ideas of ending the first either when Ron walks out, for suspense, or else the destruction of the locket.
Ah, Hollywood.
1) If movies with subplots like GoF and OOTP could done, why not this one ? It’s basically all about horcruxes and hallows. Just make it a 3 hour movie this time. 2) Yates, again ? I enjoyed OOTP but I would have liked someone new this time. 3) Exactly how and where do you split this ?
YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY !!!
