I garauntee you that plenty of people would go see it. I stood in the longest line of my life when I went to the midnight showing of OotP and I expect that line to be twice as big when I see HBP. I don't even want to think how long the line will be for either part of Deathly Hallows. But trust me, as they say in Field of Dreams, "People will come," no matter how long te film is. They may only go once but that would be enough. |
We always go the weekend it comes out and we have to get there around an hour early to wait in line. I think it will keep all the same people that go everytime no matter how long it is. |

New article discussing how long each part will be.

David Heyman Talks Splitting Deathly Hallows, Both Films Possibly Two and a Half Hours Long
March 14, 2008, 01:55 PM
Empire magazine has a new interview with Harry Potter producer David Heyman on the decision to make two films out of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. In this new article, David Heyman describes the thought process behind the decision to split, debating on whether to make a “four and a half hour film,” or the possibility of both as “two and a half hours long” and much more. He also declines to say where the split in the book will come as “don’t have the first script. We do have a point roughly where we want to end, but we haven’t got a draft to know if that works yet.”
On the matter of splitting and length of the films he says quote: ” We just thought how are we going to approach this? Is this going to be a four and a half hour film? That’s probably what it would have been. Would our audience really embrace that? In some way, I think they might. But I think the younger ones would have drifted. There’s always been difficulty making sure that the ones that are two hours, two and a half hours long – making sure that those are the right length. I think by having two films that are two and a half hours – although we’re not sure of the length – then it will be a richer experience. One of the challenges that faces us, which we’ve been discussing, is how to give each film its own identity. We want them to feel like one film, but they’ve got to be self-contained too. We feel now that we’ve got a really good angle on that. But we haven’t got a script yet on either part, so I don’t want to say too much.”
Empire: So these films will be the same length as the ones that came before? We won’t see two films that clock in under two hours? David Heyman: No. The idea is to get everything people want in there. I’m sure there’ll be parts that don’t make it, which we won’t know until the script is written. But that is the idea.
Empire: What do you think is the natural separation point in the books? Where can you end the first film in a satisfying way? David Heyman: It depends what feeling you want [to end on]. I don’t want to answer that just yet because we don’t have the first script. We do have a point roughly where we want to end, but we haven’t got a draft to know if that works yet.”
In addition there are comments on the discussion with Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling on the decision to split the book, how the cast members (especially Dan Radcliffe) would handle the filming, and says again they will begin filming both movies at the same time, starting next February. Finally of note are some of the scenes David Heyman is looking forward to in the movies, as he says:
“Well, the final battle, but there’s so much. I love the character stuff. I love the resolution of Dumbledore and Snape. I love the multiple Harries at the beginning. I love the scene of Hermione trapped at the Malfoys’. I love Harry and Hermione in the forest. I think there’s so much, it’s such a rich fabric. What we’ve done now, which I think is really exciting, is that we’ve found thematic centres for each of the films. That gives the film heart. I think it’s pretty great that David Yates has crystalised it and…it’s early days still, so I’m not going to say too much. But I’m just thrilled that David Yates decided to come back, because he’s really found a new spirit for the sixth film and as we talk about seven, it’s very different as well. I think it’s going to be good.”
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part One will be released Holiday (November) of 2010, with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part Two due May (early summer timeframe) 2011. |

| I wish they would say where they are thinking about cutting it, but I guess that would take away from the shock (if its a cliffhanger) that we would get when we go to see the movies. |

Do you think they will announce where the cut will be before the movie is released?

I don't think they will. When I get excited I really want to know things but when it actually gets to that time I am glad that I waited. |

As long as they dont give too much detail about the split, I wouldn't mind knowing.

The sound of music goes for just about 3 hours... with an interval
I think they should make them really long.
hihly doubt it tho.

I hope not. Musicals like The Sound of Music and Oliver! have intervals, othewise known as intermissions because when they are performed live that is when intermission is. One act ends and the second act begins. I think the Deathly Hallows Intermission is during the 6 month (or so) break in between part 1 and 2. DH Part 1 is like Act 1 and DH Part 2 is Act 2.

im happy they are fairly sure they are going to make it at least over 2 hrs, per moive part.
thats fine with me...but anything under that and *smack*  . lol.
the scenes i really didnt want them to cut were the ron/hermione scenes. the tension between them. hermione crying when ron leaves....well you get the idea..
oh and the one tiny...tiny scene they must have in for me is when harry is looking for ginny on the maruders map.
but. back to the point... i could go for a 3+ movie. seriously i watch the LOTR movies when i get bored.

If they leave out the scene where Harry wakes up to see Hermione and Ron had fallen asleep holding hands, I'll be so upset. With all this time Yates has, I hope he fulfills at least some of our wishes.

Yates was probably the most faithful to that actually. Columbus added a moment in CoS (the awkward handshake), but took out a moment from the book(the sidelong glance a her empty desk). Cuaron added in a bunch of moments, but I was almost disappointed when I read the book and saw none of them in there. GoF.... Don't even get me started. Yates actually left in a coule of major Ron/Hermone moments and even added some in. But the biggest one, the kiss on the cheek was left out.
I'll judge Yates further after I find out if the Greenhouse scene was left in or not.
