Oh for Pete's sake...

So the latest rumor is that Warner Bros. is going to make Deathly Hallows into two films, ostensibly to include all the last-minute information that JK Rowling threw in, but most likely because they realize that the cash cow is coming to an end and want to squeeze every last penny out before it's done.

Frankly, of all the books that *should* have been made into two-parters (Goblet of Fire, anyone?), Deathly Hallows isn't one of them. All they have to do is cut out about 10 chapters of the trio wandering aimlessly through the forest, and the movie will actually have better pacing than the book.

Bad call WB. Too little, too late.

I've seen it, yes. It depends on *what* she writes. Rumor there is that it will be a sort of history or chronology of the series, which doesn't lend itself to film.

I guess we'll have to wait and see.

With you on that. Cut the book, and it will be a lot better.

The wandering around in the woods NEEDS to be cut. While reading the last HP book, while the kids are out in the woods, I kept expecting Gollum to show up whining about his precious, because it just all too much reminded me of how boring I found much of Frodo and Sam wandering about in LOTR.

No kidding! Ditch the pages and pages of endless camping!

WTH was she thinking, anyway?

Oh for f*ck's sake. The kids (and Alan *sob*) are going to be getting too old if they keep dragging this out!

well it's on Leaky and from Daily Mail.
so another rumor added to the long list of rumors.

After having seen what is done with book 4 and 5 and taken for granted that parts are omitted I prefer it that thaty keep the same matrix for the movies. Seeing OotP a second time from DVD it surpriced me how coherent and logic the story displaced was, while at the fisrts vue in the theater I was only registrating missing scenes. So what they cut or compress in DH to get it into a one movie story will not be a problem too as long the movie has its own legs to stand on.

Btw... cutting the wander scenes won't comprees the story much. not when you don't want to omit a lot of events,

Well, they better not cheat us on HBP! I am expecting A LOT of Snape this time!!! And what about OotP! They could have made 3 movies out of that one as well!! Silly!

I'm with you there for sure! All that wandering in the woods and camping needs to be cut or the movie will be boring as hell! Not to mention that if they drag it out too much, the cast members will be too old! Sigh!
