Deathly Hallows Movie to be Split into Two

[WildWill]

Just heard on ABC 7 news in Los Angeles that the last film, Deathly Hallows will be split into two films, one for release in November 2010 and the other then in 2011.

Either an extremely smart move on Warner Brothers, or will fall flat due to over-saturation.

There is a lot to be covered in these Deathly Hollow's and if you cut out more then you need to, to fit it into one movie, [I think] it just won't be that great.

Half-Blood Prince and Deathly Hollows Part One are going to be very dark movies...

actually they said the 6th movie will be the funniest yet, which confused me :confused:

Dumbledore dies
Harry is outcasted

How could it be funny?

[CyberOverload2]

Dumbledore dies

How could it be funny?

maybe the way he falls to his death is like gay looking or something. Its going to be cool and Im going to see it the night it opens here in America.

I hate that I will have to wait to see the end of the movie the next year but I bet that right before its comes that all the movie places will put the first one back on the big screen so you can see them both back to back.

Makes me chuckle.

And I'm going to have to go with the former of WildWill's options, they've put enough room between them to make some money. While I don't see them having the double screening, I see it as coming out later (like the Lord of the Rings trilogy).

They are going to go the matrix route and i heard that didn't go over too well with people. Maybe splitting the movie will add more closure then the condensed version of the other movies.

[DigiAngel]

Well at least they're not going to cut anything out.My only worry is how are they going to do the wedding if they're cutting Fleur out of Half-Blood Prince??:confused:


The Battle of Hogwarts is going to be awesome.*Hopes they keep Molly cussing in*~_^

They cut Fleur out of the Half Blood Prince, why wasn't I aware of this?

I can't wait to see Luna's father's house.

THANK GOD!

Finally, they can stop cutting everything out in the movies and changing the whole storyline to save time. (And cutting people out too!)

That's the major reason why I hat-dislike the movies!

Oh they'll still be doing that - there is no possible way that EVERY subplot/minor character can be shown on film.

[Crimson Thunder]

Interesting. 2 parts could be a good move actually, they get to cover more parts from the book. Also, I would assume that the later 2 movies would be dark...added humor might seem out of place? Maybe in the beginning of the movies?

[Faith]

Interesting..Do you know if this is real or not? Because, it might actually be a goos idea.

[Smaug]

Could either be a very bad move though because I know a lot of people who would hate the year wait to finish the movie. Also the expectations of the second film will be much more than if they did only one movie.

It has been confirmed true for a while now. Deathly Hallows will be two movies.

[Tanthalas666]

The effort to actually making movies true to the books is coming too little too late. The movies have gotten worse and worse as they've been released. They're jokes. They leave out all sorts of important information, and completely alter the way the world of Harry Potter works.

They should scrap them.

[divineflower]

I think, even though I haven't read everyone's replies to this, and I will afterwords, that splitting the movie in two is a good decision. I mean... there is a lot of things they need to cover, and making it into like a... 4 hr movie or 5 hr movie would be to much. And by the time it was done in that one setting it'll be all to much to grasp.

So I think splitting it up into two movies is a fantastic idea, no matter what happens it's gonna be good even though it'll be sad to begin with. But that's my own opinion.

True. But they still top box offices.

[divineflower]

I read that awhile back that they were gonna be split into two movies, which I think is a brillant idea. Afterall, with all the matieral in the book, I don't think one movie would suf***e.

I'm actually excited to see what they do with the whole Final Battle thing. Afterall, a few of my favs die, and even though I don't want to see that happen. I still can't wait to see that scene unfold.

As far as the 6th movie being funny. It does have its moments. Like Harry kissing Ginny out of nowhere. I laughed when I read it.

But anyways...
I think its a brillaint idea that they are splitting the 7th book into two movies.

No book should be desecrated into a film.

Smart move. My guess is that Part 1 will probably end right after the whole "Escape from the Malfoy's" bit. Leave's loads of cliffhangers, the elf get's knived which will make for a few tears, or laughs, depending on your sense of humor...

Seriously, it's like "Mad-Eye died for me!! Ok, I'm over it in two pages...Oh noes, Hedwig, my only pet!!! Meh, but it's all good. Mum, Dad, Cedric, Sirius, Dumbledore......wait, Dobby's dead? That's it, I'm devoting a whole chapter to showing how sad I am!!!"

Tch.

Tch.

1. No, its not a smart move. The movies ******* suck. Every time I see one (I tend to see them once just to ***** about how much I hate them) I end up wanting to shoot every ******* person involved in making it. They do absolutely nothing but destroy the novels in every aspect.

2. He didn't witness Mad-Eye die, let alone have him die in his arms immediately after being rescued by him. Hedwigs a pet, and you'll be hard-pressed to find someone grieve for a pet then they would a person (Dobby is an elf..yea not human, but sentient etc.).

As far as the other characters go, he didn't get over any of them quickly. Notice the nightmares about Cedric, the numb disbelief from Dumbledore, the denial about Sirius.

[XdragonfistX]

No doubt that the movies don't do any justice in comparison to the novels, but it's just a fun way to relive a classic experience. I'm sure we all had our own visuals thought up in our mind's eye when reading the books, but it's fun seeing it on screen.

Not like we'll ever get the chance at a new book, anyway.

As for the Dobby comment, I wasn't saying anything about him not feeling anything for those deaths. But after dealing with all that loss, maturity should had made the seem a little less...emotional. Dobby was a fun character but they were extremely over-dramatic about his death.

Tch.

As much as I love Hedwig, she had to die. Harry couldn't have carried her cage around all over the place, and he couldn't have used her to send messages, since she was a snowy owl and they stood out.

But they don't put whats in the novel up on the screen. They put maybe an eighth of what Rowling wrote up there, the other 7/8 of the movie is utter trash the various people involved in making it have thrown in for no apparent reason. A lot of i isn't even big things, but (for example) why does the entire Wizarding world wear Muggle clothing at school?

[XdragonfistX]

Oh, no argument there. The OotP movie nearly made me cry. Over 1000 pages of dialogue smashed into 2 hours...

The best part of the Harry Potter books is the dialogue, the character interactions, whether it be little conversations, or whatever else. The movie's completely cut out that aspect, so all you have is each chapter spliced into like 3 minutes. Its ridiculous, but there isn't much you can do with two hours of work.

[Tanthalas666]

Its ridiculous, but there isn't much you can do with two hours of work.

They shouldn't be 2 hours long..they aren't childrens novels and they shouldn't be childrens movies. A good 3 hour film would be much preferred (take a leaf out of Peter Jackson's book, PLEASE).

If I had my way they'd scrap the movies and try again..

[mrdjudge]

Yeah, the first two movies were especially bad, in my opinion. They make a lot more money by splitting the movie into two parts, can't blame them.

Those were the best 2...3 4 and 5 have been so totally awful i've either left or been kicked out because i *****ed too much

[mrdjudge]

I'm not a movie critic, just my opinion. All of the movies fall short of the books. I just don't like the first two because the trio seems to be too young for the role...they don't really seem natural.

I'm secretly hoping that they would do that. I mean it would be better, than wasting 2 hrs, and not getting all the info from the book, that is in the movie. Or supposed to be in it.

Hopefully they'll take a leaf out of his book, and do what they do to the LOTR series. Afterall, it would be a hellavu lot better that way

For the ppl that haven't read the books though, well... they wouldn't know any better to begin with. *shrugs*

[redshift71388]

I'm not fond of the movies, but they certainly don't ruin the experience for me because I don't let them alter my image of the story that the books give. For me, the movies are more of a "oh let's see how close they can make them" sort of thing. Although I particularly hate the portrayal of Voldemort in the films. He is more comical than anything I'm supposed to be afraid of.

Thats how they are for me as well, but I always end up getting pissed off. A lot of people don't want to read the novels and would rather see the movies, and the movies are OK as stand-alone movies. Not great, but OK. I think its just disgraceful and disrespectful what they have done with these movies.

Voldemort looks retarded, the entire Wizarding world wears Muggle clothing for no apparent reason. Dragons are allowed to take off and fly around Hogwarts castle during the Triwizard (as if Dumbledore wouldn't have done anything about that..), Wizarding duels are reduced to Death Eaters becoming Smoke and the Order becoming beams of light and running into each other, and the Department of Mysteries is just one room.

Its the little random tidbits of info that completely destroy it. They're just stupid.

[Magic Summoner]

I see people talking about how the movies don't live up to the novels. This is common with just about every movie based on a novel, the fans just don't think 2 hours can do it (or them) justice. I get around this because I just simply don't read the novels. All I can say is the movie can only do but so much, unless you're willing to watch a movie for hours and hours until your eyes start to bleed.

[Kopaka of Ice]

Well, personally, I'm hoping they cut the final "Seventeen Years Later" chapter of the book and end it with Voldemort's defeat. Really, I just... something about it makes the story I take in regurgitate itself into a steaming pile... Every time I read Death Hallows, now, I skip that part so the story ends on a (personally) good note.

[.mop]

the 7th book was so long and had so much action in it that if u put it into 1 movie you would have to cut out alot of the good parts also once the movies are over and so are the books that will be the end you dont need to rush it .

o yea one mor Question wont daniel radclif be like 21 wen deathly halows comes out and harry will only be like 17???????
