If they are going to split the movie in TWO parts wouldnt a sensible blace to halve it be the middle? or would you want the first half or second half to go longer... Another way to do it would be to halve it at the end of the middle Chapter/Scene


You need to stop a movie at a good point.. a point thatis a cliffhanger, but noting too dramatic. And you need to starta movie before there is a major conflict, not in the middle of one. Finding the perfect moment is tough....It's an art, really.


Well i think the best part to do that is when they infiltrate malfoy manor to save Ollivander


They don't infiltrate the manor, they get captured. They had no intentions of saving Ollivander, they were captured themselves.


Sorry but i havent read the book since it was released in July last year so im hazy on the facts but you know what i mean dont you?

Yeah, I know what scene you mean, but infiltrated and captured are two totally different things and change the whole tone of a scene. So that's why I was just making sure what you meant.

Anyway i think that would be the best place to halve it as that is where the book is really cliffhanger if you know what i mean

I hope the two parts, Part I and Part II, of Deathly Hallows are at the very least 2 hours long if not longer.

What do you think?


Yeah I reckon...I want everything. It IS after all the last one and it would be nice if it had as much as possible in it unlike some- sorry did I say some- ALL of the previous films.

When I first heard about DH being split into two parts, I figured the whole point of it was to include as much detail from the book as is humanly possible. I'd be pissed if each part wasn't AT LEAST two hours long. I mean, come on, this is the end of the series, it has to be frigging epic. And I think it should stay as close to the movie as possible.

And for my money, I think they should split it at the scene where Harry, Ron, & Hermione are at Lovegood's house and Hermione's just gotten done reading The Tale of the Three Brothers. She closes the book and Xenophilus says "Well, there you are. Those are the Deathly Hallows."

Then *poof,* the screen goes black and the credits roll. That scene is right about halfway through the book, and it would make for an EXCELLENT cliffhanger ending to the movie.

My guess is that probably they will be under 2 hours apiece - you can only extend a blow-by-blow so long... Wink

But you-all MAY have a point.

& I agree with the poster above me (sorry don't have the name in front of me, har!)

mmm. at least 2 hours each. anything less will be very dispointing.

i intially thought it should or would be split at the ron leaving moment. but now that i think about it. the moment you (JulieBaby83) mentioned would be just as good. but its futher on in the movie. so it might unbalance the squencing, and movie length.

... and i dont want the first part to be like 2 and a half hours and the last part to be 1 and a half..it wouldnt feel right.

As long as it takes to fit every single thing in.
