What about if they cut the first movie up to the point where they have just learned about the Hallows? at least there is the lake scene as a climax before the end of the 1st film.
Then the next film would start with the action at Malfoys.

My 'guess' for how they split the films is thus.

I guess that they end DH Pt.1 after they steal the cup from Gringotts and have escaped on the back of the dragon.
I appreciate it is a fair way through the book, but, consider the first film, dedicated to the search for the horcruxes and we get all the dramatic action of the Gringotts break in and escape. They jump of the dragon by the lake, are having a giggle and Harry's head explodes in pain. Voldemort knows and Harry announces 'We have to go back to Hogwarts' - dramatic music and ending...

That way Pt.2 can be dedicated to the battle of hogwarts - do actual justice to 'The Princes Tale' and be a film just full of thrilling moments.

You never know...

Yates has said he's thinking of splitting the films when the trio are captured by the Snatchers in the forest. The next film should start at Malfoy Manor.

I think that the movie should split when Ron leaves, that would make me cry. And it would get everyone to come and see if he comes back. Which he .

If it has to be two movies,i think it should be split when they are caught by the snatchers. then carry on at 'Malfoy Manor'.

But if am honest it should be one movie, because the number seven is part of the story, for example, there is seven horcruxes, also chapter four of the last book, 'The seven potters'.

Although, it really doesn't matter, because compared to the book it be dissappointing, some people say that they can't put it all in, but if they can put stuff in that is not in the book, surly they can put everything from the book into the movie aswell. They miss to much out.

I believe that there is not a logical place to stop the book and they should just make the movie as long as it needs to be. Or if they split it into two movies(which they shouldn't) they should premiere them one after the other so you can buy one ticket and see both movies at the same time. It wouldn't be logical to do it any other way. The movies wouldn't make sense. I think they should just make a 3-4 hour movie. All the real Harry Potter fans sit through it and it be an excellent movie. The series was meant to be a septology not an 8 piece series. So I say make a 4 hour movie. I totally sit through the entire thing!

I suspect that the first part of the ly Hallows movie adaptation end when Ron leaves Harry and Hermione at their camp. I think that the movie makers want to do an 'Empire Strikes Back' by finishing on a sombre, 'all hope is lost' type of mood - this usually makes for a more inspirational finish (much like Return of the Jedi). I also think that the first part of DH be a little slower, setting the scene and hopefully filling in the blanks from the movie adaptation of HBP - There are a number of plotlines which were 'glossed' over, even ignored, which could make the DH movies disjointed. These gaps could still be partially filled in the form of flashbacks, though I suspect that the film still have to deviate from the book to achieve continuity. I hope that the second part of the DH movie be more action-packed and fast paced. The battle for Hogwarts needs to be epic and climatic on a massive scale - anything less and the movie be heavily criticised. The HBP movie was certainly not my favourite, but I think (and hope) that there is still enough time in two movies (hopefully around 5 hours running time combined) to produce a worthy conclusion.

I think it be a horrible wait between the two. 6 months of cliffhanger (even though i know the ending?

They could also end it right when they start to learn about the ly hallows, but thats kinda late in the book. what i really want is a 1 hour end fight...

They should make it like a five hour movie with an intermission. I sit through five hours of harry potter, no problem.

I would like to say that I am impressed with the work that has been done in this website. Honestly, I am sad that it took me too long to find it; congrats to those who write the articles they are very well written.
I would love to see 2 movies made out of book seven and I must say they should have tought about long before, because than maybe they would have done the other movies longer as well.

Is it confirmed that the movie be divided in two? If it does, I think Dobby's would be the best shot to end the first movie. Though I'm afraid that Dobby be cut again from the movie. I've heard that Kreacher play Dobby's role. It won't be supportable if the film makers really do the change. I'll hope that JK won't let them to do that.

It is confirmed that there be two movies. I really hope Kreacher won't replace Dobby, too. I like the idea of the second movie starting at Malfoy Manor.
