Last 'Harry Potter' book becomes 2 films.

Just read this in today's Times of India. The movie based on the final book of the series- Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows' will be split up in two parts on the big screen. The first film is slated for release in November 2010, with part two following in May 2011. The producer, David Heyman said the reason for this is that "Unlike every other book, you cannot remove elements of this book". The two final Potter films will be shot concurrently, much like The Lord of the Rings trilogy.

Thank God! I was worried they might mess up the whole thing by removing half the story to fit the movie like they did for the fourth and fifth movie. But now I can rest assured. It was a good decision by them. I don't mind watching it in two parts as long I'm getting all the contents of the book.

Yes i also read it just now...very wise decision by them considering what they made of the 4th and 5th part...

^ Yea, I expected a lot about the Quidditch World Cup after reading the book.
Darn thing turned out to be two shots in the movie.

I think the best they made was the prisoner of azkaban...what do you guys think??

^Sorceror's Stone.It had that freshness to it.
None of the other's do.

S

all hp movies are good, if u read the book that is../.

^^its the reverse. The movies suck big time. But if you read the books, the movies look like a bunch of assorted scenes from the book.

yes...Although the movies are good ,they are nothing when compared to the book

nonsence. the movies suck actually. the scenes are often disconnected, the actors, mainly radcliff, suck, with hardly any expressions, and the story seems to lead to nowhere, as several things are unexplained. Its just a bundle of special effects.

Itna bhi kharaab nahin hai yaar(leave 4th and 5th part)

^Perception. Personally i think the movies are ok, watch-once-and-forget.

Finally they got some sense.... nothing beats LOTR in terms of good adoption of a book though....

^You said it all right. LoTR FTW!

churn out the profit with power of two...lol, please consider it to quality oriented

I wonder how they're going to show the part where Nagini came out of Bathilda Bagshot's neck. If they show it the way it was in the book then the movie will get an 'R' rating

. And don't forget, we'll also get to see Rupert Grint kissing Emma Watson

.

i hate every single harry potter movie..
though prisoner azkaban was a bit better..
i was fuming with anger wen i watched the 5th one, the order of phoenix!!!
and yes LOTR rules!! am still waiting for "The Hobbit" to come out as a movie!!

^^ hobbit lost Peter Jackson... :-(

and I liked HP2 the most amongst the movies... Chris Columbus rocks....

I expect the First movie to end when Harry finds the sword of "Godric Gryffindor" . It's the turning point of the book .

^^ Yeah....

WB thinks that by these step they can shut critics mouth who momentarily critising for the studio for their lame adaptation frm books.

IMO the ideal situation would have been a HBO tv-series. with one book taking a whole season

. Like LOST or something.
btw anyone read game of throneshere?
its going to be be shown as a season long series

^^completely agree with you.
only then it will be able to do justice to the book.
Order of the Phoenix was the best book for me in the series, but watching the film made me feel that this is not what the book is.

Anyways this news is only for the seventh book. Which means the sixth book will receive the same treatment as the fourth and the fifth.

Old news man. it was announced at veritaserum 3 months ago

^^ Not everyone here knows about that site. I for one never heard about it.

its rated as the best HP fan site. and as said by Zeeshan Quireshi "a true fan knows about it".

never the less......thx for the info

yep! old news for me too!!

But see the amazin thing happenin is that the worst written book is getting the best treatment!! MAY BE IT WILL TAKE AWAY THE RECORD FROM LOTR FOR THE HIGHEST NO. OF OSCAR!! :mrgreen:

i wonder how an adult movie(A rated) director got the childrens movie and the HP 5th(n further series) movies series too spoil for!! i got so angry n embrassed after seein the 5th movies that i felt to kick his a**.

Many potter fans are not happy with the last book being made into 2 part movie, read it in some newspaper yesterday. IMO this is the best decision they have ever taken. The 5th movie was $hit, although th book was awesome. Lets hope that the 2 parts do justice

^^ Another approach would have been to increase the length of the movie. I dunno why the hell are they scared to create a 3.5 hour long movie? Look at Titanic, LOTR, Ben-Hur. Braveheart.... all were very long movies, and that is why they made impression, by telling the complete and extensive story.
