Unfortunately some people might see this as only a way to gain money...

Maybe now they be able to make a movie that is true to the book.

I don't think that it deals with money (well, at least not all of it).

If WB made a crappy movie they would recieve bad reviews. In result, DVD sales would plummet. Imagine how angry book-fans and movie-fans would be if the movie was crappy. The storyline of Death Hallows simply too vast and difficult to cramp into one movie. But, when they thought spliting the movie they probably realized, "oh, well make even MORE money." That also probably encouraged them a bit.

Besides Jo is ok with it since she signed off on it. I don't about other fans but when Jo says, "OK" on something, I usually feel assured.

Why not just one long movie? These people are desperate because they ran out of movies and this is the result.

+1 for two-part movie
-1 for David Yates
>_>

I definitely don't think it's a decision based upon the money. The book is loaded with too much that cannot be cut. It isn't like the other movies where you could cut out subplots -- this one was almost entirely focused on the issues. Still, you know there are people who are happy to make an extra $400 million in net profit (plus other income streams). The choice wasn't a hard one.

This is the best news I've heard in a while. Although I really did love what Alfonso Cuarón brought to Prisoner of Azkaban, I think David Yates is really great. I'm very excited! Hopefully they can fit everything into the movie now!

i will be fine with this decision so long as it's done well.

Hesitant about this one. By splitting the movie they better guarantee fans EXCELLENT movies, that are JUST like the book. No skipping major parts like the 4th and 5th movies.

But then again, Jo knows best. I'm going to keep my fingers crossed anyways.

This is terrible. All the producers are trying to do is get a larger payoff. Yes more of the story will be included but its not like there werent cuttable parts. The 300 pages harry and hermione spend in the tent could defiantely be cut. Yates is a ***** director and i cant believe they havn't found anyone better for the job. This is the worst news i have heard yet. Plus it adds another 6 months to the wait for DH.

What??? Half of the last book was filler anyways. Ron literally says "we're not doing anything, I'm bored , I'm leaving" How are they going to stretch the least content filled book into two?

it doesn't matter to me that i have to pay for 2 movie tickets as long as its as true to the book as possible

Oh yea! I remember that Harry Potter kid!

As long as its rated R and their is some nudity I am in!

Oh how I hate the movies... And to split the last movie over 6 months... ***** money whores!

This better be the book and then some, no more of this "it wasn't important, we cut it" *****.

radcliffe is going to be like 30 when the final one comes out

They've already screwed the series up so much that 4 extra movies couldn't sort it all out.
Yeah, I'll see them. But I'm not happy with how they've handled the story so far.
I see this as a little bit story telling, large chance to make massive money.

Good. The more HP the better for me. lol

I didn't really like OOPT but I think HPB will be better and hopefully DH.

WOO HOO!!! I honestly wouldn't care if it was an 8 hr movie... just make time for pee breaks, I'd stay the whole time and pay a mighty price, just to see the movie finally do the book justice! 2 movies just lets the magic last a little longer for those of us who are in depression about the end of the book series. Kudos to you WB and Yates! YAY
HP for life!

i really dont think its the money. if they made it all just one movie it would either be like eregon where they barely put 1/4 of the book in or it would have to be about 5 hours long to get the important parts in. who all has complained about them not putting certain parts into the previous movies? now how upset would you be if only 1/4 of the story was in DH?

I personally believe that the seven movie should be 2 movies but they should be released at the same time as happened with titanic, Because with the amount of stuff that happens in the book there are going to be huge cliff hangers cuz once you get into the middle of the movie there is no way in hell that you are gonna wanna tear away from it for about 7 months before you see the rest of it. I just hope that the end of the first movie isnt in a good part cuz i will be saying my mind to WB and to yates

and i also heard that they are cutting fleur and bill out of the 6th book. How can that be done with how important they are in the Seventh book
