Now that “Deathly Hallows: Part 1” is in theatres, Dan Radcliffe (Harry Potter) has further elaborated on the differences between “Deathly Hallows: Part 1” and “Deathly Hallows: Part 2”:

“The last movie is going to be really, really fast-paced and a load of action in it, and it is like a war film,” Radcliffe told Reuters. “If we had done this book in one film, the stuff that would have got cut is most of this film.”

However, it’s Part 1 that the actor finds more appealing because it contains the most character development.

“Part 1, Radcliffe added, is “so sedate compared to what the
next one is going to be like. The next film, because you’ve had all the
plot set up already, you can just kind of enjoy the insanity of all the
action.”

Radcliffe also said that the cast and crew felt a tremendous amount of
pressure to get the final two films just right. As a result, some scenes
were being rewritten the day before they were shot.

“It was constantly moving and had a less settled feel than the other ones had had,” he said.

Deathly Hallows Part 1 opened Friday with a franchise-best $125.1 million bow, winning the weekend. Part 2 is scheduled to open in July. ABC Family recently acquired TV rights to both movies.
