Hey guys! Now that we are definitely confirmed that DH will be a film in two parts, a big question arises of where it will be split! Here's your place to make your guess. I've created the poll if you don't feel like posting, but we'd also love to hear your input! And if you think it will occur somewhere else, I couldn't fit all of the places on the poll.

*Remember to make your posts the appropriate length or your post will likely be deleted for being too short. Two lines of original text once posted. Thanks!

Right down the middle! laugh.gif

Seriously though, I have been thinking about this quite a bit today and just now I hit upon the obvious thing to do, I opened my copy of DH in the middle and guess where that took me? Remember that I have the UK version 608 pages. Well it took ,e to the chapter 'The Silver Doe'.

Now whether or not that's a logical place to end the first part or, as I'm going to call it DH1, I don't know but, I don't see why not. Ron comes back, drags Harry from the water, takes the sword and smash, Ron destroys the locket horcrux. The trio are reunited in time for DH2 and their journey to see Xenophilius Lovegood.

What do you think? biggrin.gif

The Lost Marauder
I voted for the silver doe as well, but i didn't know it was the middle chapter. i voted for it, because thats where harry discovers the horcrux, and i thought it would be good to see harry nearly reaching it in the pond, and then suddnely he's struggling, and then none readers of the harry potter books won't know whats going to happen to him. all though they won't know what happens to him next in any chapter if they don't the book.

I also was considering malfoy manor, maybe at the end/ start of next chapter because thats where dobby dies and the film could end on sad note. maybe we could see the writing on dobbys grave and then the film ends.
No George without Fred
I think it should be the Siver doe because thats when Ron comes back. I think they could end Part 1 with that night when Ron comes back and than start up Part 2 with there trip to see Lovegood. (I can just see it now: Hermione gets in bed, Ron and Harry exchance looks, Ron moves to get his PJs and harry to get in bed. We pull into a wideshot of the tent, both ahead of it and above the ground so it seems that we are standing above it. We see the lights go out inside the tent, the shot lingers for a few seconds and than we pull up and away until the tent is obstructed by trees. A light rendition of "Hedwigs Theme" playing all the while happy.gif )

I think it should leave off after mentioning the Deathly Hallows. After all the movie is called the Deathly Hallows and for the non-book reading folks that go see it, it will give meaning to the title and leave them wondering "What about the Deathly Hallows?!?!" You have to leave the audience wondering "what's going to happen next" and by presenting the concept of the deathly hollows and then cutting them off without explaining how it's important just grabs them and makes them want to come back.

I mean can't you picture it? Hermione just finishes reading the story of the three brothers, Lovegood just explains what the story means, and leads the three upstairs then bam!!! Deatheaters at the door! fade out and you have to wait to see what happens next, in the last movie.


Seems like a good leave off to me.
Miss Minerva Mcgonagall
There are several moments in the book where they could split it. I don't think they should split it right in the middle of a moment of suspense, like an action scene. It'd just be wrong. They should end it like others have done it, think about it. The star wars films 2 and 3, the Lotr films. We didn't have it ended on an action scene, it's just not right. But it should be a scene that makes the audience want to come back for more. I don't know if anyone remembers how the other two films i mentioned do it, but something like that and it'll be fine. Maybe after Dobby's death. That to me seems the ideal place.

It's a pity Ron leaving is too early on in the book for them to split it there, because that'd be a perfect place. With one of the trio leaving.
Gwenog
In a way I really get excited replying to this...its sooo..eek..

anyway I definetly think that it will be before Malfoys Manor
It would be an awesome cliffhanger
and the movies would be really well split due to this.

You have to imagine
the trio sitting in the tent, discussing, using LV's name and then...
the evil guys turn up and the trio gets dragged away...

everyone keeps guessing what the hell will happen next...oioi... happy.gif
Sir Cadogan
I voted for Bathilda's Secret.

I believe that it'll show when Voldemort comes, then get all slow-motion and blurry, then it'll show Voldemort going to Godric's Hollow, and the movie will end with Voldemort pointing his wand towards Harry and shouting "Avada Kedavra!" Then the movie will get all blurry again, and the ending music will slowly pop up. And then the music will get intense, and then yeah.

It'll make a lot of non-readers stop to think: "Hey, what happened? Did Voldemort go back in time and kill Harry, or something?"

And it'll be BEFORE Ron comes back, too, and we all know that Ron HAS to come back. So it'll be an even bigger Cliffhanger. And since we have no idea whether or not Harry and Hermione live after Voldemort arrives, the Cliffhanger will be maximized. And the Godric's Hollow scene will be the perfect ending.

ALSO, I've been thinking, that they could show a bit of Voldemort's soul being blasted off during the last scene, but keep it as a brief innuendo, if you will. That way the non-readers will be like: "OH - That makes sence!" When we find out that Harry is Voldemort's Horcrux. Sort of like the "It's Still Alive..." At the end of Cloverfield. wink.gif

Then the second half can start with Ron listening to the radio, and then the blue ball of light. Then it can go to the Silver Doe scene, and then to Xenophilius's, where the Death Eaters ACTUALLY CAPTURE THEM and take them to the Malfoy Manor, etc. etc.

I believe that it would be best to have Malfoy Manor on the other end of the cut, and the Silver Doe is "meh". The cut would be decent if it were here, as well, but the ending of the first movie would be too sappy. I've looking forward to an intense ending, like what I already described. The sappy ending can be for Part Two. tongue.gif

EDIT: I also had another idea, to make the ending make more sence. Okay, so there's the Dumbledore plot, right? WELL, they can be introduced about Bathilda Bagshot, and then the whole "theme" of Part One, if you will, will be to find her so that she can "give them Godric Gryffindor's Sword". That would help make the ending to Part One more "fulfilling".

Another thing, while Harry is upstairs it can show Hermione wondering downstairs, and then she spots Grindelwald in the frame, and then she says in a loud and shaky voice: "Harry..." or something, then it goes back to Harry with Nagini, then Hermione comes up and shouts that they have to get out of there, and then Voldemort comes. Etc.
harry_potter_luvr_4life
I think they'll stop at chapter 17. It just makes since. It will be winter here and winter in there. This is just my opinion though. I actually agree a lot with Sir Cadogan. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion though.
*Priori Incantatem*
im glad this topic is up here iv been thinking about this since they said it was going to be 2 movies

i voted for malfoys manor because when i realised ^^^ i immediately thought of when dobby dies ( sad.gif ) and how in a way it would be a good cliffhanger to end it on. i can just imagine them being trapped in the malfoys and then escaping but seeing dobby with the sword in him and it ending... hehe pretty dramatic
thats whats in my head anyway tongue.gif i just thought as the first bit is a tad bit boring it would be quite an exciting cliffhanger
Sir Cadogan
I don't think that they would end on a death though. I was thinking about Malfoy Manor, but I think that it'll probably end up on the other end of the split. If they were to add Malfoy Manor, they would end Part One with the Death Eaters capturing the trio. But that would be pushing it, because they would have to have fit in the Wedding, Ministry, Godric's Hollow, the Silver Doe AND the Deathly Hallows. And to do all of those scenes correctly they would have to make a two and a half to three hour movie!

I also think that Part One is going to be sort of boring, you know. I hope that they'll make Godric's Hollow more exciting, as I still think that they'll end Part One with the back-in-time scene and hint that Harry is Voldemort's Horcrux.
Luna♥Lover
I think they'll stop at the end of Xenophilius Lovegood. He should at the line "Are you referring to the sign of the Deathly Hallows?" That should keep people hanging. But maybe they'll put it somewhere else

I feel that the end of the Silver doe chapter would be a good place to stop the first half. Simply because they have managed to destroy one horcrux and Ron has been and come back, so the trio are reunited. It gets really depressing for a while after that (Malfoy manor and Dobby's death etc), so it should end on a reasonably upbeat note to allow film-goers the experience of a lighter note.

If they end on Xenophilius, it would be a cliffhanger, but also rather irksome - betrayal is not a good way to end a movie. Although I do think it would possibly draw the audience back to see where it all goes from there.

I think the history of the films is that they always tend to end on a more positive note, so I think having managed to destroy a horcrux would be a good time.

Sorry, probably burbling now - very tired at the moment! rolleyes.gif

trtrzgunners
i would go for Malfoy Manor and hope it would be Malfoy manor, since it is a climax of the story aprt from the battle of Hogwart. It is also in the middle of the story, considering that the battle of hogwarts would be long and take alot of times, and i beleived the second movie would consist mostly of the battle.

And it would be dramatic to end with Harry holding dead Dobby(or Kreacher) and the first movie can end with Dobby last word.
Sir Cadogan
I don't mean to 'insult' all of you Dobby Worshippers out there, but in Movie World, Dobby isn't important at all. I doubt that the screenwriters would see Dobby as important enough to end the movie with his death, if they even leave it in the movie in the first place!

I think that you guys should just be happy if they keep Dobby's character PERIOD, let alone have them end the movie with his death. I still think that they'll kill off Kreacher instead, which is sad, because Dobby is one of my favorite characters. sleep.gif

I'm just not getting my hopes up. David Yates will probably want to focus on the relationships in DH more than the real storyline...

Personally, I don't like that Idea because there excape from Xeno's proved that Hermione was more than book-smart and that they were actually capable of fighting in the war and that they could get out of sticky situations.
gryffindorgirlie
I voted for Xenophilous' part. I think they should be sat down, having gurdyroot infusion and then he says 'are you referring to the deathly hallows?' Or something like that.

I have to say, I'm not surprised that they are splitting it into two. The production team said for a long time that they wanted to perfect the end scenes and I just saw it as two parts. I like this idea. Its double the excitement! Two launch nights, twice the popcorn and nachos!
potter4ever
I think they should end it in the silver doe scene. I see the end of part one as a happy time. The Trio reunited. This is how it should end. Ron comes back and says something like im sorry. and then the camera hits hermione whos rolling her eyes then harry whos just smiling then slowly fades out.
Sir Cadogan
I just don't think that they would end with "Are you referring to the Deathly Hallows", "I'm Sorry" or whatever... I'm 100% (that's right, 100%!) certain that they will end the first part with some corny ending like... "We have a fight ahead of us, blah blah blah".

And you know what? I changed my idea to the Silver Doe. Though I'm still open to Bathilda's Secret or the The Deathly Hallows. Either it'll be a sappy ending, as I think it now will be, or a "Omg Cliffhanger!" ending with the trio being captured.
NAR
I think the most possible and perfect scene where the split would/should occur is after Dobby's Death (in the Wandmaker chapter). I mean, it's literary the turning point of the novel. Jo herself said that Dobby's Death "woke-up" Harry to what he was doing. I could almost see the ending in Part I, Harry, looking at Dobby's grave, tears splashing from his eyes and then with a determined face, looking into the sunset and then (cut!).

But the problem is, there's not much happening after this point in the book except big action sequences and the finale. I mean straight after this, it's the Shell Cottage, Gringotts, The Final Hiding Place, The Missing Mirror, The Lost Diadem, The Sacking of Severus Snape, The Battle of Hogwarts, The Elder Wand, The Prince's Tale, The Forest Again, King's Cross, The Flaw in the Plan and then Nineteen Years Later wacko.gif . Only about 13 chapters to cover in Part II, when in Part I, there are about 24 chapters to cover! wacko.gif

But I think it's a great place for the story in Part I to end smile.gif . Because I think it'll be a big shock to non-book readers as well. What do you guys think?
*Priori Incantatem*
i agree with you on that one (as iv already posted before). i think its a pretty dramatic way to end the first half and i suppose they dont have to show dobby dying, so those people who havnt read the books wont necessarily think that he dies

but then again they could show him dying and then like 'Sir Cadogan' said end it on something like 'we have a fight...' etc. seeing as theyv ended on that sort of note before

the only thing im worried about, like NAR, is the first half. i guess they would have to cram a lot in and im hoping they cut some of the camping stuff out, seriously not all of it was necessary!
WEASLETTE...GINNY POTTER
A question on which I'd been musing since the news of the movie being split came out. excl.gif

I think the reasonable part would be the end of the Silver Doe chapter. Not only is it literal centre of the story, but it is also a part where major events occur. It would be really stupid to end DH1 without the destrction of a single horcrux. The audiences might feel like nothing worthy has occurred on Harry's side. There's just more of heavy things which occur, like the fight scenes with LV, Harry losing his wand, the never ending camp scenes (I hope for once they edit these scenes) and only one good note of finding the real horcrux i.e. the locket. There should be a happy note whenever a thing is being concluded or even paused for the next to come. Ron's return and the destruction of one horcrux, what could be a better place to pause. I can picturise the scene in my mind's eye just now...

Harry and Ron come back to the tent after destroying the horcrux. Hermione is really mad at Ron and all that. Then she asks Ron about the other wand he has...
'Did you just say you got away from the Snatchers with a spare wand?'
"What?' said Ron watching Hermione....and all...
"You were right," said Harry..."Mine's broken."
"You're kidding?' Ron said...Hermione got up and he looked apprehensive...and then she silently settles downto sleep and all...
'About the best you could hope for, I think', murmured Harry.
'Yeah,' said Ron. 'Could've been worse. Remember those birds she set on me?'
'i still haven't ruled it out', came out Hermione's voice..but Harry saw Ron smiling slightly as he pulled his maroon pyjamas out of his rucksack....and he smiles too...
The scene zooms out on Harry's face into the trees and high above into the skies...with some background music.

DH2 starts and the scene zooms in slowly from the skies into the trees and the trio is seen discussion about what to do next and all...Now here how they start the conversation and all it's uptp them. But it's that they decide to go to the Lovegood's and all...

I guess this is reasonable enough for the movie and also for the audiences. No doubt, Dobby's death provides a change in Harry's attitude in the story and it would serve as a good break point,but there are very few chapters after that which need to be covered and then DH2 will be like a small bit. What was the point to split, all will be wondering wacko.gif

I think this is getting really long now...I'll conclude by saying that the Silver Doe or not, DH1 will end before Malfoy Manor thing...let's see how my prediction hold out...
socngill
I really don't think they will end it during an action scene, and as some others have suggested, I tihnk it will be either an emotional ending (looking at Dobbie's grave) or a LOTR ending of looking out to Mordor with everything ahead of them (Silver Doe). A slow ending but one which helps build - if that makes any sense dry.gif

My personal feeling is that it will be the Silver Doe as the scene described earlier after the reunion would be very good. It tells you it's not over, that there's lot's to do, but they have accomplished some of it and the "road ahead is clear".

As for the Dobbie scene being to far in I tend to agree, but if they start cutting scenes like the wedding then it would push this part more into the centre of the film, and therefore a good place time wise to end it. Of course, if they cut the wedding then why keep the cottage and Dobbie....

It's an interesting one, but purely for a feel of continuation and cinematic purposes I reckon it will be after the three have been reunited in The Silver Doe chapter.
Allie
First off, I loved reading everyone's posts in this thread... there are so many good places to make the split that hadn't even occurred to me, I'm not at all convinced that the way I initially envisioned it would be the best idea anymore! tongue.gif

I also saw the first movie ending after The Silver Doe, but at a kind of different place from the rest of you. I thought Harry, Ron, and Hermione should decide to go see Xenophilius, Apparate into the hills together, and then everything should fade out with the three of them sort of looking around the hills for the Lovegoods' house, sort of gazing off into the unknown.... </cheesy ideas> Then the second movie could open with a distant shot of them in the hills, then they Apparate again to the other cluster of hills, wander around looking for the house in a nice opening sequence... before getting back into the action. That way neither the first movie would end nor the second would begin with an intense action scene, though they still get into it kind of quickly in the second movie.

Or maybe I've been watching too much Frodo and Sam standing in the mountains gazing off into Mordor. laugh.gif
iamtheshiz13
i think the split should occur right before the battle of hogwarts because the battle should be intense and take a long time, i highly doubt that they would do this anyway because its near the end, so, whatever. i agree with everyone who says that it should be split right down the middle as well, because the beginning half is just as important as the second.
Harry James Potter
Okay, so I think that there are two possible places for the split.

1- Right after the Silver Doe. I agree with a bunch of the posts and feel that with the reappearance and the unified trio, it would be a good place to cut the first movie and leave viewers with the knowledge that Ron is back (the trio is once more) and that one more horcrux is destroyed. SO it will end at least two questions by finishing there.

2- Right after Xenophilius Lovegood. I like this split much better because this is the big turning point in the book. If you split here, the viewers will have the second adventure whirling around in their minds, the Deathly Hallows. This answers the question of what the symbol on Mr. Lovegods necklace was at the wedding. It begins to tie together Grindlewald, the Deathly Hallows, Albus Dumbledore's past, and the second big bullet on the trio's agenda. At the end of this chapter, the HRH escape the Death Eaters one more time. So the first movie will end with some earlier questions answered, some underlying themes emerging, new and more relevant questions appearing, and one last little battle to get the excitement going for the next movie.

So I like the 2nd option, what do you guys think?
Graupette
Hi all, long time lurker, first time poster here biggrin.gif

I've been giving this some thought, and IMHO I think that the split should be somewhere between the "The Deathly Hallows" and "Malfoy Manor" chapters, right before (or right after) our gang is captured by the Snatchers, in order to keep the non-book-reading audience in suspense till Part 2 is released.

(Edited for grammar and spelling)
Mrs Longbottom81
I had never thought of splitting it at the silver doe, but I would prefer if they split it at The Deathly Hallows or Xeno Lovegood. I think it would be a huge cliff hanger if it left off with Xeno Lovegood saying "Are you referring to the mark of the Deathly Hallows?' If they split it at the silver doe, the second movie would be so much longer then the first. It would be kind of odd to stop the first film before even mentioning the Deathly Hallows, it might confuse people who do not read the books. If the film stopped at Malfoy Manor, than the first film I think would be much longer then the second, though it does depend on how much time they spend on the Battle of Hogwarts (I'm hoping for at least half of the second film).
Felix2090
I can't decide. I picked some other chapter, but now I'm not sure. I was originally thinking that it would be at Shell Cottage, with Dobby's death ending part I. But now I think it makes since to split it at The Silver Doe. I mean, think about it. It is a very big chapter, with Ron coming back, destroying a horcrux, and finding the sword, it would be a very good place to end it. It would be easy, and wouldn't feel like a sudden stop. That's my opinion.
Harry_Potter_Chronicles
Great replies everyone, really got me thinking!

However, I think that the ideal place to end the first portion of the movie would be to end it with the conclusion of Ron destroying the Horcrux with the Sword of Griffindor.

Now the reason I think this part would be the perfect place to break the book in two, is because it would leave the audience with a sense of nostalgia. Ron has returned, they finally have a way to destroy the horcruxes, and would be pleasent starting point for the movies second half.

Granted though this may be a great place to break the book in half, if JKR wants to make the first portion longer than the second however than I don't know if this would be a great place to break it.

This could be because, JKR could use the last portion of the seventh movie to elaborate a little more than in the book about the future of Harry and company. Or she wants to really highlight the final battle to near real time.

Just a few thoughts,
Harry_Potter_Chronicles.
Radcliffefreek
I think the ideal place to end 1st part should be MALFOY MANOR.....thats where Harry knows excatly what to do and thats where he, while buring Dobby thinks over and makes plans...I think this is sort of reformation stage....It will leave the audience impatient to know whats next...while for those who allready have read the book would be curious to see the Gringoots sence and then lastly, The Hogwards Battle.
MUSICrussell
I dont think they will do this, but i think they should end the film with one of his dreams. I havent read the book for a while so i have a fuzzy memory of what the dream i am talking about is right or where its whereabouts in the book are. But i think they should end it with the dream where he see;s voldemort killing the man with the box in search of the wand. Then should have him waking up and then say to be continued

Sounds a bit far fetched i know, but thats just my theory, how im saying it doesnt measure up to how im thinking it though lol.
bw526
i voted for the end of sliver doe, like many others.

Since there is such a huge time period between both parts (nov. 2010 and may 2011), too much of a cliffhanger may not be a good idea. By ending with the sliver doe, the trio is united and it's somewhat of a happy ending, even if they don't know what's going to happen next. Also, the scene where ron saves harry and then destroying the horcrux can be made very intense, i guess. No doubt the second part is going to be way more intense though.
For non-readers, i think it's a good spot so they're not completely left hanging. For us, it's still a good spot.
Pure-blood Slytherin
I really hope that they split it after malfoy manor, its just a good climax. You can see Harry carryin Dobby and Hermoine overacting and crying her heart out, while Ron just stands there. I do think that half of the next film should just be the battle at hogwarts, theres just so much to explain. wacko.gif
magic master
As some others have said, the split has to be at a natural cliffhanger. But it also has to be in the middle-ish of the book and there are many cliff-hangers in that region. Bathilda's Secret might be a good place..... the part where Bathilda actually turns into the snake as it is shocking and if it split there people would want to know what happens next.

On the other hand, the place in the Silver Doe, where Harry jumps into the pond and is then pulled under by the Horcrux and is nearly drownig would also be an excellent place to stop. I don't think Ron should pull him out until the second part as it would kill the cliffhanger. The cliff hanger for the film would be is Harry going to survive?
Harry James Potter
I don't think that it would be a good idea to end the movie after Dobby gets killed. That whole section is just way too much to include at the end of a movie when you are trying to wrap it up a little bit. Think about the whole Malfoy Manor part. You've got three major things happening all at the same time. You've got what's going on upstairs with Hermione, you've got the dungeon downstairs, and you've got Voldemort visiting Grindlewald. All those would be too much to put at the end of the movie.

I still feel that the end of their visit to the Lovegood's would be perfect. It asnwers a couple earlier questions, give nonreaders a little bit of last minute action, and brings the quest into the picture, the Deathly Hallows. It's kinda like when a movie sets up it's end for a sequel, that's what this cut would do. The story of the Deathly Hallows would be told, and then HRH escape and there's the sequel. Where will they go once they've escaped and how will they get the Deathly Hallows?
Battlefield2142
i was thinking at somebody's death but i dont think that would be the case because the deaths occur at the begining and and close to the end of the movie and i think they'll do it where its somehwere around the middle and leave everybody who just watches the movies in suspense about what's going to happen next.
Pure-blood Slytherin
Well, one thing I would hate for it to do is just stop the movie in the middle of an action sequence. How would the movie start back, it would look really for the movie just to start back right at the same place. Like if you see Harry drowning in the lake, then it wont look the movie would seem really bad if out of the blue you see Harry drowning and the Ron comes and saves him out of no where. Come on people, let's be real. rolleyes.gif
chinery13
i reckon it should be at the end of xenophilius lovegood because i think it would be a great cliffhanger of "are you referring to the sign of the Deathly Hallows?",

it may be a bit too soon though as even though it is just about in the middle plenty more happens afterwards which will need loads of description. still i think it's a good place to stop even if we will be the ones to suffer from the cliffhanger.

Maybe when (if) Ron leaves Harry and Hermione?
Or after Mad Eye's death? - Ok this was a joke. heh. Uhm. I dunno? Maybe after Godrics Hollow? Quite depends on how true to the book they'll stay because if they are then more from the book will have to fit into the movie
browneyedgirl
if theyre making two movies, then i'd asssume that they're going to keep to the book. i mean, they only split it into two movies to keep everything in.
to be honest, i dont know exactly where theyd end the 1st movie. but i know for sure that they'll probably leave it on some cliffhanger so that we'll be all excited for the 2nd half. smile.gif
Moon(I luv you Luna)
I'm not quite sure when it'll split-that's an interesting one. I think possibly after Ron comes back, because it's all "Yay, Ron's back, the trio's a trio again, and ends on a happy note." (there's nothing better than seeing Ron getting beaten up by Hermione). laugh.gif

It could end after a death, they're likely to do something like that. But i can't think of a death around the middle, besides Dobby, and that's just after the middle.

Or it could end with Xeno going "Are you refering to the Deathly Hallows?". That'd be a real cliff-hanger to non-book fans.

I hope it's the first one. That'd be good. happy.gif
Luv_n_Hermione
Personally I think if they keep true to the books that i'll have to agree with GWENOG in post 7 that they will end the movie before MALFOY MANOR because it is a natural chapter ending and it leave you hanging a little or they will end towards the begining of MALFOY MANOR where GREYBECK and the rest are at the gates to MALFOY MANOR and GREYBECK says "WE'VE GOT POTTER"
HJP/HJG_TrueLove
I think the split should occur either right before the silver doe or right after. It depends on what they want, do they want fans left in suspense for months to see if ron is going to come back (for the people who only watch the movies) or will they want everyone to be happily content that the trio is back together and Harrys life has just been saved and everything.

I would personally want the more suspenseful ending because if Ron is back everything is happy but if people are kept in suspense they will be even more anxious to get to the theatre or cinema for the midnight release or day one.

Or I think the split will occur right before Harry and Hermione go to Godrics Hollow, you could have Hermione go Harry I think we should go to Godrics Hallow soon and end it (im sure they will come up with something much better than what I just put but bear with me please)
Lily Luna Potter :-)
i'm not sure but they will probably make it as near the middle as possible but end with a cliffhanger. this will probably be because thats the typical thing to happen. i don't know about everyone else but i sooo don't like cliffhangers but they will do that so that people can't wait until the next part comes out! well thats just what i think! biggrin.gif
thecortni
I think it will be split just after Ron leaves... I think that might be a good place. I don't know how far into the book that is, but it seems fairly mid-way enough... Or maybe after Harry and Hermione get to Godric's Hollow....
harrypotterlover1024
I have been thinking that it should occur after Ron comes back and stabs the locket. This is a big part so it would be good to end there. But if it ends there, then there won't be any mention of the Deathly Hallows in the firt half of the movie. People would be pretty confused considering thats what its called. So now I think it should end after they escape from Xeno Lovegoods, its also a big part and then the deathly hallows would be mentioned in the first half. It be a good ending to just find out about them.

I think it will occur when the silver doe appears, as it will leave us hanging and wondoring who cast it (only people that ONLY watch the films- NOT the books will think this)

i didnt vote because well i cant lol i cant choose. what one has to take in consideration is where is that no one will expect it to split? OR maybe they might split in a scene where it has the whole theatre clunching to there arm seats or it has your attention most, but they wouldnt want to split it where it gives to much away or it doesnt give you enough to come back if you know what im trying to say. so all we can do is way & see & hope its a good split

I think the movie will end with Bathilda's Secret, mostly because i would like to see it split right after Harry went to Godric's Hollow. I think it would work, although The Silver Doe is obviously a better place to split it because they finally finish what they've been trying to do since they started their journey: destroy the locket.
