Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - 2 films!

[Misawa]

Not really though. I mean I can understand say Jaws 2 would just be for money. It was written specifically for screen. But it would be silly to stop a film series of adpations of a book series halfway through? Although they get lots and lots of money, you can't deny it's not for the gratification of the fans as well!

Trust me, studios greenlight films for nothing other than the potential for big cabbage, the execs couldn't care less about the gratification of the fans. The screenwriters just want to write a good film and get rich overnight, the directors want to make a good film and get a paycheck, and the producers want to find those elements to make a film that will make all that green and satisfy the studio.

I LOVE HARRY POTTERRRRRRRR.

But I Haven't Read The Last Book Yet ;[

I wanted to watch the film without having any idea of what was going to happen

That's like... impossible?

You still don't know who wins/loses, lives/dies?

How can you not now by now with the news and the internet

And yeah, it has been rumoured for numerous weeks but I think it's a good decision... Instead of being in a cinema for 5 hours, we'll have to watch two separate films.

Well to be fair, I think serious hardcore Harry Potter fans wouldn't care less if it was 2 films or just 1 five hour long one !

Anything above three hours won't draw theatrically. Tarantino is more of a draw than the Harry Potter when it comes to film, and Grindhouse bombed.

sounds stupid, you can watch 1 half then hav to wait 8 months for the mext film how annoying. I would rather just sit there for 4 hours or whatever and watch it all in one go.

Gone with the Wind was close to 4 hours and that was the highest grossing film for nearly 30 years!

Warner Bros. are happy cus they get more dosh, Potter fans should be happy because they get a film that can be true to the book. Can you imaging Deathly Hallows in a 2 and a half hour film?! It would be impossible!

Yeh, but all the actors are going to be older by then and just won't fit!

ermm, lets see ;

Show Hide

fred, lupin, tonks, snape, voldemort, bellatrix lestrange, dobby, colin creevy (i think) mad-eye moody, tonks dad, gregorvitch the wandmaker from dumstrang (Y)all die i'm sure theres another, oh well.

well, the books are better than the films in my opinion, the films miss out important parts, like the weezly's gettin the gold from harry in goblet of fire, so...yeh, :S

Modern audiences.

Most modern Bollywood films are so long they require an intermission, and are successful. :8
