Deathly Hallows film to be split in two parts?
Deathly Hallows film to be split in two parts? UPDATE: Empire Online is now quoting WB as saying "no decision has been made," in part because no script exists yet. Steve Kloves cannot begin work on the Deathly Hallows script because of the US writer's strike. We'll let you know more once we hear it!

Several visitors have sent in this article from the Daily Mail, which claims crews working on Half-Blood Prince have been told the final film will be split:

A film source said: "There's so much to fit that the view is the last movie should be in two halves. There is a huge battle when Harry, played by Daniel Radcliffe, takes on Voldemort that needs to be done really well."

What's more, the Daily Mail claims that big name directors such as Steven Spielberg are being considered to direct Deathly Hallows. We'll look into this rumor and let you know what Warner Brothers has to say!

Gotpotter269, that news actually came out a while ago on Stephenie Meyer's site. =] It's one of my favortie books...I got so excited, but I'm not sure if he'll do a good job being Edward...*sigh*

that would be... well i dont care because harry potter could go on forever and id still love it!!! its freakin HARRY POTTER. split it 50 times and i wouldnt care. just make it amazing... but i have no doubt about that.!!!!! steven speilsberg? wow that would be crazzzyyyy but he totally should do it. i think the movie would have a little more pizazz haha. yates is incredible too though! :) overall, i dont care how the movie is split, as long as EVERYTHING is included!! and the fight between harry and voldemort is absolutely amazing!!! so make it full of detail and incredibleness... who cares if its split in 2?! its still going to be BOMB. yeeeaaaa fo sho fo sho im gettin that fo shoooooooo. loveeee HP forever.

Besides the fact that I highly doubt that the film would be split into two, I really REALLY don't like the idea. It would ruin the pace and...just no. Is there probably going to be A LOT of things cut from book 7? yes. But i'd rather have them do that and maybe pull a Lord of the Rings (make the film 3 hours long) than split the film. And steven speilsberg? Once again, most likley untrue but if it happened? Eh. I'm cool with it.

Posted by lilbecky8 Jan 16th 2008

awe.. i am rereading all the books again. I am on the 4th one, its take me forever.


Posted by tiassa Jan 16th 2008

When I started to read the books I was ten and the third just came out (the first in hebrew just came out as well) it seemed to me that I could never catch up with harry's age. not until Deathly Hallowes at least. so I have another reason to be sad to turn 18


Posted by lilbecky8 Jan 16th 2008

awe! yeah i bet!! when your bday??


Posted by tiassa Jan 16th 2008

Posted by HPfanx14 Jan 16th 2008

Posted by tiassa Jan 16th 2008

what did you have to check? yes they do unless the army finds then insane/they are annoying people who pretend they are insane and give the job to others


Posted by lilbecky8 Jan 16th 2008

ahhh ok. kayla, i cant wait for summer either. its 17 degrees here today. ugh!!!


Posted by HPfanx14 Jan 16th 2008

my brother wants to go to the military after he finishes high schoool. idk, i dont want him to, id rather him go to college or something.


Posted by tiassa Jan 16th 2008

yeah tell him to go to college. how old is he?


Posted by HPfanx14 Jan 16th 2008

hes 17, 18 in july. and yah same here, its freezing, im just hopping that it snows and i get a 2hr delay or something tomorrow. lol


Posted by tiassa Jan 16th 2008

never snowes here...


Posted by lilbecky8 Jan 16th 2008

if he insists on joining the military have him look into the National Guard or the Air Force. (generally less front line work) i had a friend in the Air Force for 2 years.


Posted by HPfanx14 Jan 16th 2008

ohh. winter time here its usually just cold. we wil have random weeks of a lot of snow, but its not like all winter long we have snow.


Posted by tiassa Jan 16th 2008

great idea becky! there are many things he can go to if he wants action. It doesnt need to be army. find out exactly why he wants to go there and then try to suggest some other job with the same thing. what do your parents think about this?


Posted by tiassa Jan 16th 2008

we NEVER have snow....


Posted by lilbecky8 Jan 16th 2008

poor Tiassa! *sends the snow we have*


Posted by tiassa Jan 16th 2008

thanks becky!*sends back cheesecake to becky and kayla*


Posted by HPfanx14 Jan 16th 2008

yah, that is a good idea. ill tlk to him about it when i see him later. lol and my parents are fine w/ it. but i think they are leaning more to college. im not sure wht nick wants to do. hes always changing his mind.


Posted by Chilly Jan 16th 2008

My friends Dad works on the Harry Potter films and he has been told that the 7th book will be two films. I hope they bring them out back to back, i'd hate to have to wait a year to see the 2nd part.


Posted by lilbecky8 Jan 16th 2008

my friend (that was in the air force) went to MSU with me. He joined ROTC and that paid for a lot of his college. After he graduated he spent 2 years at a base in North Dakota. (with one trip to Iraq) if your brother had questions i am sure my friend would be willing to talk to him.


Posted by HPfanx14 Jan 16th 2008

awesomee! thanks becky! but i gotta go, the bells gonna ring any minute. ttyl guys!


Posted by lilbecky8 Jan 16th 2008

i am going to get some lunch. talk to you guys later!!!


Posted by tiassa Jan 16th 2008

Bye kayla! wouldnt it be cool if the first film ended at the end of the chapter of Bathilda's secret?that would be great!


Posted by kingbobrules Jan 16th 2008

I think it might be quite a good idea if they split the final film in half in terms of doing justice to it, but the wait between the two would be agonising! Also, since when has anyone with 1/10 of a brain read - let alone believed - the Daily Mail? They don't publish news, they publish far fetched stories to sell newspapers and I 4 1 would have 4t that this story is unlikely to come from any source other than some1s imagination or a VERY manipulated quote. So, if Ur excited about the idea of an extra Potter film, I wouldn't hold my breath.
