At first I was against the idea of two films but the more and more I read about this decision… well, I am getting on board and am officially excited. Makes me wonder what the movies would have been like if they started splitting them at GOF. hmm…

I am thrilled beyond words. I agree it is a wonderful day to be a Harry Potter fan. But then again, what day isn’t?

@ Lindsay: How can there be a DH trailer when there isn’t even an HBP trailer yet? Plus, they don’t start filming DH until next year, in 2009.

uhh…No. Alot of fans make HP trailers and post them on youtube and usually you could tell it’s definitely not the real thing. Deathly Hallows is going to start filming in Feb 2009, and they probably won’t have a trailer till 2010, so there’s NO WAY that video you saw is real.

Can most of you people post something relevant to the article rather than, “OOOH, I’M FIRST!!!!!111”? Seriously.

Since this means eight movies instead of seven, are they going to have to renegotiate contracts with the actors for the extra film?

Heyy! Just want to say that I LOVE the idea of splitting the DH movie into two (and three?) parts! Let’s face it, there are no knew quote unqoute, “Harry Potter” books leftover, regardless of whether or not JKR does something about Lily Luna, Albus Severus, or anyone else for that matter. It’s just not the same. HP7 WAS the last “Harry Potter” series book and why not “preserve the magic” with another movie. stretch it out. make the HP phenomenon last a little while longer for those who are still growing up with it.

well, im actually quite excited to have the movie split into two parts. when i first opened up the article and read it i felt m heart skip a few beats. i wasnt really looking forward to having it split into two parts. but, when i got to the middle and read “end this with the proper send off” i felt the same way. and now, im on the boat for splitting it into two. as long as they dont cut anything out of the 7th movie, it most definetly will be worth waiting all this time for. =]

Great News about DH being two movies! This is a great decision! And hopefully we will have as great an emotional roller-coaster ride as the book was.

I reserve my happiness on the fact the Mr Yates will be directing. I found OotP harder to follow – the flow – than the first 4 movies. I shall wait to see HBP before giving my blessing even if it will be late by then.

This is Wonderful!!!

GoF was a fine movie the only bad parts left out were Dobby and the history of the Crouchs’. OotP was concidered to be split into 2 movies. The confussion is that since they want to get in almost all of the main parts how are they gonna have the wedding, dobby and his death? They never introduced Bill and there isn’t gonna be a Fleur in HBP. Dobby hasn’t been in a movie since CoS. So those parts they will probally have to introduce Bill and Charlie, re-introduce Dobby. I think it’s a smart idea to split the movies. To think about it we only have to wait a couple of months for the second movie because the release the first in November ‘10 and the second May/June ‘11. But that is just a plan now it’s not set in stone. I wonder what they are gonna be called “Deathly Hallows” and “The Elder Wand” The split should happen when Ron returns and destorys the locket and they are ready to continue on with their journey.

I just hope when it comes out on DVD after Pt.II, there is a special DVD with both parts on it, aka one long ass movie. Also, hope pt.I comes on DVD before Pt.II hits theaters, so we can watch Pt.I right before going to see Pt.II.
