| | |  Dan Radcliffe explains challenges with two Deathly Hallows films
In a recent interview with TV Guide, where he was promoting the US television debut of My Boy Jack for Masterpiece Classic, Daniel Radcliffe commented on the decision to make Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows two movies, which he called a "positive thing."
Dan also talks about the challenges to film the two-part end to the series: Quote:
"And I think the fans will appreciate that more than had we tried to make it into one film. We'd have to cram so much in there and actually have to skip over some things. And in this seventh book, there are a lot of things you can't afford to skip over."
The biggest concern, however, will be where to split the films: Quote:
"The challenge now is for them to find out where the breaking point is between the two films," says Radcliffe, "because I don't think there is an obvious place [to do so]."
Dan briefly mentions that after he is done filming Half-Blood Prince, which is currently in production, he will begin his Broadway stage-run for Equus, after which he will start working on Deathly Hallows, which "will begin early-ish next year."  | |

That is true .. I actually hadn't thought of that before. I can't think of a logical half-way point in the book, so that might be difficult.
I suppose anything that is something of a "cliff-hanger" will work, though!  |

Either when Ron leaves or when they are just about to go into Malfoy Manor before they get captured. Both are high points to leave as a cliffhanger. I would prefer Malfoy Manor.

Dan has a good point. But I would have to agree with Antwone.

I think that when Ron leaves would be a great breaking point. Although Malfoy manner would be good too. I'm so pumped that they're going to make into two films tho!  | |

Yeah, I'm thinking of the possible part where the movie breaks off too...
Maybe right after Ron leaves?

Malfoy Manor would be a good place to break it. Nice cliffhanger. | |

In my opinion, the best (if not the only) breaking point would be Ron's return and subsequent destruction of the locket.
There isn't a better part to do it, either before or after this.

Wow, Dan's done with HBP filming already?
I'm happy they're making DH into two movies. I heard a few people comment that a good place to break it is when they're escaping on the dragon. Not for sure what I think yet; I'll think about it as I reread.

I think the BEST place to make the split is when Harry buries Dobby. I feel like it's a suitable ending. After the buriel it gets more exciting and crazy so I feel like that should be left for the second movie.

Wow.....I can't imagine where they could stop the first part of DH. I'll just have to read it a couple more times.

That is true indeed. Now with two slip movies they can show us more then just having a crammed up one movie with many skipped important things that was in the book. | |

Well said. And the last book should be adapted completely to help the viewers that are not fond of reading understand the last installment.....

I think a good breaking point would be when harry falls into the lake and then is saved, but don't "tell"us who saved him, that can start the second one!! Even if you have read the book, it will leave everyone in suspense, but it is not totally in the air!
