| | |  David Yates talks Deathly Hallows to Vanity Fair
David Yates has spoken to Vanity Fair about Deathly Hallows; how the tones of part one and part two differ to Half-Blood Prince, why they split the movie and the new ways in which they are shooting the films. Quote: I would imagine, because you are already thinking of Harry in a different way and you are already invested in a different part of the story.
Completely. And the characters are getting older, the actors are getting older, and we leave Hogwarts behind in the next movie. We always say—I did it on [installment] five, I did it on [installment] 6—“Oh these films are growing up. They’re getting darker.” That really does feel the case when you leave the school behind and you are outside in the real world. It’s a very different dynamic. It’s really exciting actually.
Quote: Why did you and Warners decide to split the last installment, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows into two parts?
Three reasons. One is it’s a huge book so there’s so much stuff in it. You go through the list of things you want to put in the movie and there’s so many huge set pieces that by the time you get to the end of it you kind of go, “Whoa this would be the most expensive movie of all time.” Far more expensive than any conventional blockbuster. You have to find a way of somehow keeping all the things you want to do, so it is easy to split it across two films. [Screenwriter] Steve Kloves was working on the adaptation as we were shooting Half-Blood Prince and he just rounded us up and said, “Look guys I am having a real problem stuffing this story into two-and-a-half hours. I think narratively this might suit two parts.” There was that. I get frustrated when fans say, ‘Why didn’t you put this in or put that in?’ So it was a combination of the adaptation process and the fact that I just want to give the audience everything we can from the book, basically.
Quote:
I think you will find the next film quite a departure from the sixth film.
Why?
It’s just edgier. It’s a little rawer. It’s more contemporary. It feels more modern. Shooting in the way we’ve been shooting, doing a lot of hand-held camera work, all that stuff, I’ve never got a call from the studio. They just phone up or email and say we love the dailies even though I am doing things that feel very not Harry Potter. So I feel I have a freedom and the elbowroom to do what I feel the story requires.

WHAT!?!?!?! is he crazy? or he is joking?!OMG! Is this guy called David Yates will be directed in the DH movie???????????? He is an IDIOT, this guy is total MORON! Even though, the original story is too long, you cannot invent things in the movie, David Yates! I think J.K Rowling should slap him across his face hahahahahaha. Do you guys get that?!?! By far, he is a HORRIBLE director for HP movie, he is ruining them! J.K Rowling, please rescue DH movie. And he knew that he is not doing stuff that is not Harry Potter?!?! What the heck is there for then??????????? I think this guy is lost, i really think that he is really lost. This two questions are for you, David Yates: Are you lost David Yates? Or you are just an idiot?
What I know, he is not good for this movie, by far, he is the worst director. How the world they hire this person, are they blind? By far, the Half-Blood Prince was the weakest in the HP movie, i am very disappointing. Please, don't tell me this guy be directing the Deathly Hallow

| | Guest | Half Blood Prince tanks in my book
If David Yates was the director of Half Blood Prince --- YUCK! I hope you do a better job sticking to JK Rowling's story than you did in HBP! Adding scenes like the destruction of the Burrows and changing Dumbledore's death scene - big thumbs down to whoever is responsible for that!!! And you didn't even explain why Snape was the half-blood prince, like the book did....left people who hadn't read the book confused and those who love the book, disgruntled. Sorry there won't be a remake any time soon....

I'm glad it's in 2 different movies although the wait between part 1 and part 2 will be hard. I'd love to see as much of the book in the movies as is possible.

You've clearly misinterpreted what he said. He meant it's not typical 'Harry Potter' fare. Which he's right to say, because it isn't.
He is directing films 7 and 8. Thankfully imo, because I think he's the best they've had.
