Gender: Female Location: When in Doubt, Go to the Library.
I posted on this in the DH Information thread, so here's what I put there :
David Yates WILL be directing DH, which will be split into two parts. The first part will be released in November of 2010, and the second part will be released in May of 2011.
"Producer David Heyman said the decision was made with some anxiety and only after considerable deliberations. The producer joked that "while my wife and Warner Brothers were pleased" to hear that the Potter movie magic will continue into the next decade, he himself fretted that the cynical observers would see the decision as a purely mercenary move.
"I swear to you it was born out of purely creative reasons," Heyman said during an interview in a converted airplane factory outside London that has been home base to all of the "Potter" productions. "Unlike every other book, you cannot remove elements of this book. You can remove scenes of Ron playing quidditch from the fifth book, and you can remove Hermione and S.P.E.W. [Society for the Promotion of Elfish Welfare] and those subplots . . . but with the seventh, that can't be done."
Heyman said he approached Rowling with some trepidation about the strategy but found that she signed off on its logic rather quickly. "I went to Jo and she was cool with it," Heyman said, "and that was quite a relief.""

One of the things that made me think they rushed The Order of The Phoenix is because of Daniel's age, I'm worried they rush Half-Blood Prince and hence, Deathly Hallows.

I think it'll cut off at Shell Cottage, because that is a place of semi-rest before all the chaos begins again. Also, that would allow literally most of the second part to focus on the Hogwarts battle and the Harry/Voldemort scenes.
At least, that's what I think would be the best, cinematically. It's a "Time of Rest" between one action filled part and another - the eye of the storm. I don't think they'd leave us hanging straight in the middle of action.
*thinking* So basically, that would be the going to Gringotts to collect the cup, then Harry finding out about the tiara still at Hogwarts, going to Hogsmeade and the part with Aberforth and Adriana, and then it'd be Hogwarts from there on out.
I'm wondering if they're going to film the epilogue, though. I kind of hope not, but if they do, how cool would it be to use the original trio actors and just make-up them to be older? Tres cool.

I am suprised that last one is going to be split into two...OOTP was a longer book than book 7 and that remained as one film....but I guess since it'll be the last movie they don't wanna miss anything out

I think the epilogue will play out better on film than it did in the book. It seemed cheesy in the book, but I think given certain visuals, it might do well in the movie, especially if the young actors are made up or adult actors really look like them. It's rewarding to the audience to see the kids grow up, so it may be a really popular scene.
I'm glad their doing this! It's a good way to end it off and still have people intrested. Hopefully they keep to their word and stick to the book this time.

Kudos Scribble for the wicked awesome sig!
They should have filmed the last two movie's together rather than splitting the last movie into two. That would have made more sense, unless they plan on adding additional material into the last movie which wasn't in the book, there really is no call for it. The last book is about as long as the first and second books. There doesnt seem to be much material that warrants five hours of film. If the 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th books only received one movie and they were the largest books why give the last one two movie's? Filming the last two movie's in conjunction would have made perfect sense, seeing how the actors are nearly full grown adults now. I, however, am not going to complain. I know it is only for money, but i greatly enjoy the movie's and as long as the remaining movie's turn out to be as good in quality as the first five i will pay the price of admission, excitedly.
