I actually, hope they do, put two halves. That way less things are disincluded. Either way, I suppose I wouldn't mind..As long as certain parts aren't just thrown to the side. :P

It's probably not a bad idea, that way everything that happened in the book (or nearly everything) can be included in the movie.

ravenclawrox*_* 01-13-2008 04:16 PM

I think it's a good idea. But that mean more waiting......I don't really mind the waiting very much, because it's worth it at the end. I just hope they don't cut out too much details like in POA and OotP.

Unique HP Fan 01-13-2008 04:34 PM

Well, I think it will be good I would rather there be two seperate films that have everything that needs to be put in than 1 film with great big improtant chunks missing.

Double_Trouble 01-13-2008 04:41 PM

Well I don't really know how having two halfs is going to help because in the DH there are whole chapters that are slow and probably wouldn't be very entertaining to watch. I could understand it if they did the HBP in two halfs because lots happens in that book.. So I guess we'll have to see what they do.

GlassXRose 01-13-2008 05:03 PM

It's okay as long as they stay true to the book.

(P.S. : Mad-eye, by the way, is played by Brendan (SP?) Gleeson :lol: )

dancerbookl 01-13-2008 05:22 PM

I soooooooooo wouldn't mind it!

Angie 01-13-2008 05:30 PM

I wouldn't mind if they split the movie in two halves since it is the last book, an I don't think I would like to see that they cut important stuff..

Zoe 01-13-2008 05:40 PM

I wouldn't mind having DH be two separate films. I just don't want to wait a long period of time to see them both.

FoxFire 01-13-2008 05:41 PM

I think this is quite an excellent idea. For me, the less they omit, the better. For me, when they omit stuff, it takes the richness out of the story. It'd be like Kill Bill; which was great because that was a very involved story, and doing it as a two parter gave them room to get into the story.

jesusfr33ke2010 01-13-2008 06:02 PM

I think that they could make it in one movie but it would have to be like LOTR and be 3hrs long.

hermioneg288 01-13-2008 06:21 PM

I think this is a great idea! They never make a really long film like it deserves and they do have a lot to tie and a lot to put in..and they can't do that unless the film is 3 hours or longer and they probably wouldnt do that. so a two part movie would be great!! I don't mind waiting either..they could release one in the summer one in november or a month after each other..not really sure how that would work but I think that'd be a totally great idea to fit everything (well all the important parts) into the film and give us fans everything we want to see!! I hope this rumor turns out to be true!!

cake.ninjak 01-13-2008 06:28 PM

Intermesting.....well, as long as it's done well, I don't care.

Eclipsed 01-13-2008 06:32 PM

Woah, I dunno. It could be good. Could be bad.

Pandalicious 01-13-2008 06:39 PM

Oh I do hope they make it two films. Its the last movie and they have to include all the important bits. I'll be so annoyed if they cut out anything from it.

As for director. I pray to God that Alfonso Cuaron does NOT direct it. I think he did an awful job of PoA. But I do hope Chris Colombus comes back :woot: Loved hiim

K33P0NR0CK1N 01-13-2008 07:05 PM

That would be great if they split it in two. They do have a bunch of stuff to put in the movie that they can't risk taking out. Since it's the last one I definitely think they need to end it with a bang. Make it incredibly awesome.
I hope Cuaron directs DH. He's great at making dark films. I loved what he did with PoA.

Fallon Chanel 01-13-2008 07:22 PM

They should make it one long movie. Since its the last, it should be longest, not that 2 hour and 30 minute crap they usually pull. I'd be fine sitting through a 4 hour movie. It'd be worth it. It'd be better that way.

I agree. I understand that it would be a pain...would they both be called Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Part 1 and 2)? It seems odd. BUT, I'd much rather have it done right, and I think if the only way to get the whole, amazing storyline from the book is to make two films, I'm on board.

If Spielburg does it, that would be good, but I was hoping for Peter Jackson. The Lord of the Rings saga was done so well, and it'd be nice for the final film to include everything possible. I really wouldn't mind two films.

But, no matter what way they do it, I'm praying that they do the book justice. I don't want big plot points cut...or even some of the best scenes cut because of time.

I agree. I don't want Cuaron back. I thought that PoA and GoF were too different. I understand that book and film are two different mediums, but both films were too unlike the book...Heck, Ron and Hermione's characters were not canon, and I just...I really liked Colombus. I know that it was easier to be faithful with the first two films because the books were much shorter, but they were going for authenticity and canon. So, GO CHRIS!

Shannon :hello:

rellybelly 01-13-2008 07:54 PM

I think it's a good idea because than they probably wont cut out as much...

lightstar1154 01-13-2008 08:01 PM

As long as Alfonso doesn't direct it... I'm fine.


I think I would like, however, to see the film split into 2 movies. Would serve to give a much more detailed, practical ending. I think even the movie-only goers, who haven't read the books, would appreciate that because after you've seen 6 movies about one plot... I dunno, the ending , in my opinion, ought to be spectacular. Plus a 3 1.2 LotR ending might be too much at once.

hpluvr037 01-13-2008 08:52 PM

Ootp was 800-some pages and they put it into one film. Surely they can put a 700-some some page book into one movie, right? Maybe not. I think I'd rather have one long film. Look at LotR. People sat through that. They'll sit through a long HP movie as well.

lotrfrk11 01-13-2008 08:57 PM

That would actually be nice. But then there is the issue of if they release the movies at the same time, or 6 months apart, or whatever.

Oh man, I hope none of those directors direct DH. Especially not Chris Columbus. Cuaron I could live with, but not Columbus.

Daniel'sWife 01-13-2008 08:59 PM

i've always hoped they would split it up

i think that with hp quality is only going to come with quantity-whenever they do edit it and fit it into one film, they leave things out, and it doesnt do the book justice-the first 5 movies are evidence of that. so i think dividing it will be better.

Beth2310 01-13-2008 09:10 PM

why cant they release it in one whole movie? i mean most war movies i've seen are like 8 hours long! but still maybe they wont leave as much out like in ootp i hope Chris Columbus directs!

hpfan4eva 01-13-2008 09:14 PM

well...while this may be a good thing for us fans, most people wont like it...i dunno. hmm...
