Interesting about the DVD release! I am asuming there will be two DVD’s, but who knows??? Thanks Kerrie!

I think Mollywobble you have a point. Deathly Hallows will be hugely expensive and I think it is wrong of anyone to imply that you are not a true fan by mentioning it. What a strange thing to say! I think all this negative attitude and doomsaying is completely pointless. Honestly guys we get an extra movie! And all those people moaning about Yates most of the reasons people disliked OotP was beacause of the editing. And with two movies it doesnt appear that this would be so much of a problem for Deathly Hallows. I am so excited! But the main reason I like Yates is beacuse, in my opinion, the cast appeared more like the characters they should be. Daniel for one was good in OotP, very believable. Whereas in the earlier films (PoA springs to mind) I wasnt that impressed. Of course his age might have been a factor there! Also how great is it to have a director who is actually a fan of the series!

I’m very glad that David Yates is doing these films. Order of the Phoenix was my favorite in the series so far. And as long as he doesn’t completely destroy Half-Blood Prince, I have faith in him. Anyone but Alfonso Cuaron….

ok, just to make it clear ’’The Lord of the Rings’’ is in fact a single novel, divided by Tolkien himself into six books. It has typically been published in three volumes, each containing two of Tolkien’s books. And back to HP world. :)

I dont think anyone is saying that if you bring up a point about money to WB you are not a fan, we are just saying that as fans we could careless about WB making money. All the movies have been expensive to make, and they have also made millions too!!!

Well Tarantino released Kill Bill in 2 seperate dvds. So They prob might do that with DH. Considering there is a 6 month gap between films, which is about the time a film takes from being on big screen to dvd. So part 1 could be released on dvd when part 2 is released at the cinema. Which does mean us fans will have to dig in our pockets at least 4 times (twice at the cinema, twice on dvd)

Did I hear right or was it a rumor that Ralph Fiennes will not be return to play Voldemort in the last movie?

Hahaha, good work Squibby!!!! :)

WHAT!!!! No Ralph Fiennes….he was awesome!!!! Tear!

I am happy for 2 parts. The books have always been differant from the movies. Book fans hate that but as a Movie fan I like how each movie is self contained story begining, middle, end. I agree some better than others. I had never read the books until after the 5th movie came out and just as movies they were good. Now that I have read them how do you do the 7th without a split. There are deffenatley 2 complete stories. I see them as the first starting (hopefully after the cool chase seen with 7 Harrys) with a wedding and ending at the house of the couple with good news ( a baby for Harry to God father) We all know (even if we don’t like it) that this plot will be changed to involve Lupin and Tonks and not Bill and Fluer. This is also the place where Harry decides Hallows or Horocrux so I see it as the turning point plot change. The second story starts with leaving this house and finding all the other Horocrux wich of course will give much more time to the battle. I hope that they do not cut Dobby (if they do who will they kill in is place), to much of Snapes memories, or the epilogue and honestly hope they find a way to invlove Bill and Fluer as will as Charlie and Percy but somehow I don’t think they will.

I think he really enjoyed working with Mike Newell in GTOF.

Well I know he won’t be HBP. Younger versions are going to be Voldemort instead. I certainly think he will be back in DH, unless he has a major falling out with the studio or something.

I think they split the movies shortly after the escape from Malfoy manor. They end with Harry saying they’ll go after the horocruxes and ignore the hallows. It’s a bit after the halfway point but they can cut out some parts in the woods. Also, they could probably cut the visit to the Lovegoods as they can get the information about the Hallows from the book Dumbledore leaves Hermoine. Another theory—I think they’ll skip Dobbe and have Kreacher do the rescue and die at the end of the first part. Kreacher really doesn’t do anything in the later part of the book anyway and they can combine the parts. My one issue is whether there’s enough for another movie if they do the split after the escape.

POA rocked tintanktonk please don’t blame Alfonso for Dan’s bad acting in POA. I thought the characters were much more accurate in POA anyway. Lupin, Sirius and Trelaney were just awsome in POA while in OOTP they kinda sucked in my opinion. Hermione was also the best in POA, she was actually tolerable. I cannot stand her in the other films but in POA she was kinda cool. Ron was also very cute accurate in POA, the argument between him and hermione was done pretty well i think. I giggled when RON said ‘Fine, the next time i see crookshanks, i’ll tell him sorry’ haha classic.

No, you are both wrong Amy and Kerrie. Splitting up OOTP wouldn’t have made any sense at all. Yes it’s the longest book, but really not that much happens. Oh, we get to know that harry was ment to kill voldermort, big surprise! Even Jo Rowling in retrospect thought that the book was too long. I don’t mind them cutting unimportant stuff. I too think some things were cut that were better left in, I don’t think there was any reason to make to films, just 15 minutes extra would have been good enough. Now, DH is a different story. There are hardly any subplots and everything is important. Now that’s worth two movies. These movies shouldn’t be cut in half it wasn’t absolutely necassary. Just imagine that it would have taken minister Fudge two films to say: he’s back! That would be just stupid.
