Video: David Barron reveals Deathly Hallows: Part II epilogue will be 2 minutes long
 
At CinemaCon earlier this week, producers David Heyman and David Barron revealed that the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II epilogue will be about a couple of minutes long, and will revolve around the cycles of life. That can be viewed below.

"It's not long. It's about two ... a couple of minutes," Barron said. "It's long enough to tell its story. We like it. We think it works well, and it does leave you feeling a bit [emotional]."

"We're expressing it through our three principle characters, who obviously have had a terrible time in many respects. Because they have been fighting Voldemort for longer than we can remember, and came close to death, you'll see the state of the school at the end. It was not an easy battle," he said. "As countries, as nations do, as cultures do, they recover and they renew and life carries on. It is about renewal."
Quote:

"[The epilogue is] about the cycles of life," Heyman explained. "It's about Harry, Ron and Hermione taking their children to King's Cross station to the very place where the story began, to begin the journey that they began many years ago. It's really beautiful and really tender."
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II will be released in theatres and IMAX July 15, 2011.

I expected it to be longer. I wanted to enjoy it for as long as I could.
No one wants to see the ending- the saddest part, the happiest part, and the last you hear of Harry- to be two minutes long... [:/]

ThePureBloodPrincess 04-01-2011 09:19 PM

Awwww I wish it was longer, it was a great part of the book. I understand what they mean though, I just hope they do J.K's amazing writing justice!

Samira Malfoy Potter 04-01-2011 09:37 PM

I wish it was longer, but if they say they like it, who am i to judge. I REALLY hope they do it justice!!

AlwaysSnapesGirl 04-01-2011 10:23 PM

So long as I get my "[Snape] was the bravest man I ever knew" line from Harry, I'm totally cool with however long they decide to make the epilogue ^_^

SlytherinX_Green 04-01-2011 10:39 PM

Makes sense that it would only be a couple of minutes long. It makes the fact that Harry moved on and had a family much more poignant, I think.

Expecto-Penguin 04-01-2011 10:42 PM

i wish it was longer :[, but i hope they do it well! if they don't i will be angry. i know i will cry at the end when it is all over

khrabcak 04-01-2011 10:48 PM

I will still cry at the end of potter because i dont have any acscuses to use like part 2 isnt out yet anymore!long live potter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Marauders' Map 04-01-2011 10:52 PM

Do Harry's children have a mother? I hope that she doesn't get pushed to the side in this.

khrabcak 04-01-2011 10:58 PM

What?!?!?!?!

ronhermioneroc12 04-01-2011 11:22 PM

I just got all emotional and chills up my back reading "Ron and Hermione's children" AWWWW.... yeah Ginny should be there.

omg im crying, this got me so sad!:bye::no:

xHazel.Eyedx 04-01-2011 11:57 PM

Awk Davey, you can make longer than two minutes?!?....pleeeease :)

Insane 04-02-2011 12:07 AM

Only 2 minutes?? =(

ShiningStar 04-02-2011 12:08 AM

Two minutes does seem a bit short imo. 5 minutes I can understand but 2 minutes implies to me they cut quite a bit out of what we see in the book and that was short enough to begin with.

lily21 04-02-2011 12:21 AM

omg i am going to cry so much with this movie
i tend to get very excited with everything harry potter
not sad really but i am noticing with this movie even the cool stuff, like the dragon poster the other day make me cry like a baby...its sooooo sad...that its ending...but at the same time it has to, i now that! i cried a lot with the book, i remember, this book was exquisitely sad to read...and i cant wait to see it translate to film

iwantorlando05 04-02-2011 12:43 AM

Hopefully they will make the most of those two minutes!! I can't wait to see it!!!! :D

Lissy Longbottom 04-02-2011 12:52 AM

I'm hoping that, even though the epilogue is only 2 minutes, that that means they left a lot of the Battle and the Prince's Tale in the movie and stayed very true to the books in that aspect :D

harrypotter101 04-02-2011 12:58 AM

Cool!

agreed. If that line is not in the film...I might have to boycott

Ginny GL 04-02-2011 01:43 AM

I'm scared of how they're going to muck it. Let's hope not too much. I wondrer why they have to delete things while inventing others. There's so much in the books, why invent?

Arou 04-02-2011 01:49 AM

Actually, it's a lot funnier for the director and the producers to had a little originality than just stick to a book (I talk by experience).
Peter Jackson will do it in the Hobbit, and I don't think it's a bad thing for the story... But I agree that 2 minutes is a little short, since we'll all be crying our lives at that moment. Maybe too short will create a shock ( for the fans I mean)... We'll not even have time to say goodbye to our characters, or maybe just to the dan rup and emma team.

That's exactly what I was thinking!
If Hermione gets all the lines and screen time in the Epilogue I will scream and throw things!
I want it to be centred on Harry, Ginny and their children!

R-Luchy~W*7*PG~ 04-02-2011 05:17 AM

Oh,I think it's okay..No problem..

phoenix_tears 04-02-2011 06:52 AM

Hmm, I don't think I like this. But hopefully it'll turn out good and not just a glimpse or something like that.

BearyMay 04-02-2011 07:25 AM

Well.. I was hoping for a longer epilogue but if it tells its story then it's good enough for me :)

I agree, gotta have my Snape fix. I am gonna cry like a baby when harry talks to Albus about snape.

Debbie Weasley 04-02-2011 07:58 AM

I'm terrified for the epilogue!! I love that part so much and I want it to be perfect. Can they really get everything in there in 2 minutes??

RonaldX 04-02-2011 08:42 AM

epilogue of LoR was about 15 minutes to end a three part movie
then WHY epilogue of an eight part movie is just 2 minutes?? :(

i was expecting more, always forgetting that who is the director.. !

Weasley1903 04-02-2011 09:26 AM

What? Only 2 minutes?!
Well, i hope that it won't be a dissapointment.

That's ridiculous. The LotR Epilogue had wayyyy more book time than the DH Epilogue. Think about it, in LotR you have so much stuff; Aragorn becoming King, the Hobbits and Gandalf going back to the Shire, Sam getting married, then finally with Frodo and Bilbo leaving.

And in Potter, you have two families taking their kids to Kings Cross and getting them on the train. Of course it's gonna be less than 5 minutes!

As long as the quality is good, which hopefully it is, then the length really doesn't bother me.

And you should have more faith in David Yates, he's a fantastic director, and although he's cut out lots of stuff, the films he's directed have still been fantastic!

Taiya89 04-02-2011 10:16 AM

Only 2 min! That's depressing! It better be worth it!
I mean, look at the scene with Ron and Hermione throwing rocks, It was roughly 1:30min long and it's uber short!

SeverusHollandSnape 04-02-2011 10:26 AM

The crew from Harry Potter are getting a bit mad, I think.
The shortest of all the HP movies and now this...:(
But still, I think it's gonna be (one of) the best movies from Harry Potter and a great end!

natekka 04-02-2011 12:02 PM

:( I wish it was longer :( It was the very best bit of the book ^_^

GredxForgex 04-02-2011 12:03 PM

Aww I really wanted it to be longer D:

ArualRad 04-02-2011 12:44 PM

It's really short... :(

But, well... I suppose it'll be intense, the end of everything in just two minutes, I think it isn't enough time to mentalize yourself, but it's ok...

Slytherin's Talon 04-02-2011 01:14 PM

But this is a very good part! Why did the battles have to go forever,and the best parts only two minutes?

KatielovesHP 04-02-2011 02:10 PM

I can't believe its only 2 minutes long!
I am sitting alone crying, I can't wait to see it but its going to be so sad!
Those words were lovely!

harrypotter#1fan 04-02-2011 02:52 PM

Can't wait to see it!

Sortil 04-02-2011 04:17 PM

I hope it will be good:) The epilogue cause a sad feeling, because this is the end of the story. It's awesome that we can see what happened with my favorite characters, but i want read further and it's not possible...:((: I can't wait for the movie:D

Arou 04-02-2011 05:18 PM

HEY EVERYONE! (to make sure i'm heard by everybody :P)

Don't forget that this is the second part of a single story shown in two parts. When we think about it, there's not so much left from this point!

Anyway, I hope the movie will be good, but I think i'm ok with Yates and his crew.

what i'm really excited about is the potter family, that's for sure!

So true! Good call. But I still hope they do it justice.

alohomora♥ 04-02-2011 11:49 PM

I want it to be longer!!!!!!!!♥

Buggy-Boo 04-03-2011 12:16 AM

Two minuets doesn't seem long enough to end the amazing story. I"m not sure they did that right :( :( we'll have to wait and see

Zoom 04-03-2011 12:28 AM

:whaa: only 2 minutes? Hmm. It does seem really short, but I do trust their judgement. I don't think they'd intentionally screw up the ending of the biggest film series like, ever. :lol:

What? Only 2 minutes...well, it better be excellent because I was expecting it to be much, much longer.

bonnieginnyfan1 04-03-2011 07:49 AM

The Epilogue can't be 2 minutes? :gasp:

That's so short. I want it to be longer! :yes:

simply cant wait!

Some Mystical Girl 04-03-2011 01:43 PM

I will most likely cry at this part, but i'm really looking forward to seeing how they've done it! It will certainly be an emotional one, guys! :)

spiral_star 04-03-2011 03:59 PM

2 minutes?????????????? i am very shocked... AS LONG AS they don't ruin the 2 mnutes and make it as magical as possible then i think it 2 minutes would still be worth it...

COME ON! HP crew don't screw up the epic finale of Deathly Hallows pt2.

Quick Quotes Quill 04-04-2011 12:27 PM

I loved that part in the book, it's a pity it's going to be so short in the film.

LittlePadfoot 04-04-2011 07:35 PM

I don't know how long I expected it to be but not only two minutes! I thought at least 5-10.. But well, I guess it shouldn't be to long either, since the epilogue in the book is not very long.

Albus Nicholas 04-06-2011 04:29 PM

Just 2 minutes? Oh I'm going to cry. :'(
