Deathly Hallows Sneak Peak

Frankly I'm more excited for the 8th and final part than anything else simply because I want to see Julie Walters beat the **** out of Helena Bonham Carter, whom I cannot stand

For people hoping that nothing is left out, the reason it's been split into to parts is because the film would be too long otherwise, they decided that all the wonderful backplots that never make it into the movies (esp the 6th..) contributed to the overall outcome of the story enough that they couldn't leave out anything. This attests to how well written TDH is, all the smaller plots mesh in with the main story and not a word is wasted.

Yeah but half the smaller plots were left out of the other films because no-one knew they were going to be at all important

The running time will be between 3 and 4 hours, meaning 90 minute or 2 hour halves. They could have sold a 3 hour film, four hours being too long for a theatrical audience. It's all down to money, not creativity.

[Stephen!]

Why can't they show a 4 hour film?

[Misawa]

4 hours is too long for the majority of the audience, and thus deemed not financiall viable.

I literally cant wait for these now. I havent been disappointed with any of the films or books and I think they will do a great job on this

Oh my god. I'm such a huge fan of the Harry Potter-series, mostly for the reason that I grew up with these fantastic movies and awesome books. I'm looking forward on seeing the new film. It's not that long left actually! About 10 months... *drool*. This shall be very exciting to see, as the seventh book, which in my opinion is the best one is going to be installed in two different parts. Wonderful.


And on a note of the duration of the movie, I would guess it being the length of a normal Harry Potter movie, approximately 150 minutes. Thus, being able to take in as much as possible of the 7th book which is the main reason for splitting the movies up in two parts.
