Cool. I`m pretty sure that wherever it ends, the movie will still be great. :) I`m not really worried about where the first movie will end.
I definatly agree with Gandalfxj9. I wanted to see it end at the Shell Cottage cuz that would make for an awesome and drama filled ending. Poor Dobby… :(
I agree with Gandalfxj9. Since I know they’re going to make 2 DH films I’m hoping they’ll cut at Shell Cottage, right after Dobby’s death. It is in my opinion the most crucial part of the book/films, its turning point, when Harry decides to let go of the Hallows and finally hunt down the Horcruxes. It would make a great ending to the first film, because they kind of start all over after that. And there is so much to put in the finale that an entire film devoted to it would just be amazing.
And LoonyLucy is right, too. We never learn about the DH before the encounter with Xeno, so the title is never going to be explained… unless they make Hermione explain it randomly as if she always knew of their existence. sigh
Shell Cottage, yes. It definitely fits with the emotional tone of the endings to the other films. Besides – I want an EPIC Battle of Hogwarts. GO ALL-OUT, PEOPLE.
Totally agree with Germain, esp. about Hermione. Lol.
Ending the first film with Ron leaving wouldn’t be bad either…I’m picturing their crestfallen faces and sad slow end music…
If it ends with Ron returning, I just hope it isn’t too soppy.
I think this will be a great place to end it. But the comment before about the title not being explained until they go to Xeno’s. I think a lot will depend on if they want to end it on a happy note or a suspenseful note to keep you wanting more to bring you back for the next one. It will also depend on (and I think they shld) devote most of the seconce one to the battle of Hogwarts. I personally think I will be happy with whereever they split it, as long as they do the battle justice….it shld be a big chunk of the last movie…....
Good point, LoonyLucy. I agree, the title of the movie won’t even make sense if we don’t know about the Hallows. I hope they don’t have someone else explain them though. I really liked it when they were almost caught @ Xeno’s house …. :]
sorry, meant to say that the title not being explained till they go to Xeno’s would be a logical choice to end it so the title is explained. I just really hope they don’t have Hermione “know” all about the Hallows. I love the fact that in the last book she really doesn’t know any more than Harry and Ron.
That is the exact part I guessed they would split it at when I first heard they were going to split DH in two. I mean it’s the most logical point for many reasons. Personally I don’t think any part of the book is the perfect spot and meant for the story to split at, but ron’s return makes the most sense due to its position in the overall story. Its the closest part to being directly in the middle of the book that there is. I mean it gives you a little climax with Harry almost drowning and Ron returning to save him and destory the horcrux, and yet it wraps up nice and clean enough to split the story. But lets face it, no matter where they split it or how well they do it, we will still go totally insane waiting for Part II.
hmmm. actually, for dramatic reasons, making the split on Christmas Day, when Harry comes to in the tent after escaping Voldy and learns his wand is broken, makes more sense…but, hey, as long as the movie gets done, will any of us really care?
I think this ending would make sense. Ron would be back, one Horcrux would be destroyed… sounds good to me
But can we please have a HBP Trailer?!!
I guess that’s an okay place to split it. But how does that leave us hanging?
I know it’s rumor for now, if this is true, then it’s EXACTLY where I thought the split should be.
I’ll be in the theatre all emotional and screaming “Why Ron, Why?!?
I’m going to have to be dragged out because my heart will be broken and I’ll have to wait MONTHS for the Silver Doe!!!
Interesting choice, and could be done a number of ways.
