Where the 7th movie should be cut...

Ok well since there were no topics here I thought I'd add one...hope it's ok for me to do this! Sorry Elle and Marius if I'm not meant to....

So basically where would you split the 7th book, because they are making it into two movies and I know that my friends and I have had huge debates over where it should be cut.

I'm thinking somewhere close to where Ron leaves...or maybe just after he comes back and they've destroyed the locket....

Your thoughts??

I'm thinking before or after they've found out about the deathly hallows from Luna's dad. Or the suggestion above.

Wherever it is the next better come out soon after! There's mostly no where that they could cut it properly... but (not to be cynical or anything) they're probably going to mess it all up anyway so they can cut it whereever they want!

I'm partial to cutting it after they destroy the horcrux. It's sort of a... happy place to end it, I suppose. Plus then you'd have a definite introduction into the second part, them debating what to do next and all.

That said, I agree with Quik... I can't say the movies are totally totally awful (they have their good bits... or maybe that's just me needing to find the good in everything) but they're nothing compared to the books. *sigh*

Oh harry potter. If only my best friend and I had written that sixth and seventh movie screenplay in time...

It should cut at a cliff-hanger. Something bad.

....So we Harry Potter fans who have read the seventh book could go "Hahaha" in the face of those who hadn't read it?

I'm guessing somewhere around when Ron comes back as well. They could be really evil and cut it off when the Trio had been caught by Voldemort's people so we don't get to see the Malfoy Manor until the next part. (I don't have the books with me right now so I'm just thinking off the top of my mind. @@)

*big grin* Wow this got a lot more answers than I thought it would! Thanks for that you guys just made my day so much better!

Serp that would be evil! But I guess it would make everyone really want to see the next one. Maybe just before they get taken?? Like when Hermione jinxes Harry's face??

Or what about just after they enter Malfoy Manor, and they come face to uh... face with Voldie??

My mate Jade is convinced that they'll cut it after Ron comes back. For some reason I have this feeling she's right.

Any way off to send in my english. One down, nine more assignments to go. *sigh*

I guess it really depends on how evil they want to be. Knowing Warner Bros., they could be quite evil. Bah. I can't be talking since I've been "flaunting" my unhealthy love for cliffies these days anyway.

But yeah. I'm curious about the Malfoy Manor.

After Ron comes back is approximately where they've got taken to the Malfoy Manor, no?

I think it was a few weeks (or months. or days. I'm not sure, my whole concept of time within that book is screwed up) after Ron came back when they get caught. It's after they listened to the radio show, which I'm pretty pretty sure wasn't right away.

I can't wait to see Malfoy Manor either... if they cut/change that part, I will be very, very, very upset. Hmph.

Urgh...and it's possible for them to cut it. Because it's Warner Bros. Meh. >.<....

Was it a few weeks afterwards? I don't have the books with me so...I couldn't check. @@

Duh, then you take over the world.

OH MY GOSH XD

LET'S TAKE OVER THE WORLD!!!!!

...They should cut it at a major cliffhanger. Be evil. That way I could be all "HAH! I know what happens!" to my friends.

But never tell the non-book readers just let them think Ron never comes back or the trio dies.... mwahahaha!

If they make it so that Ron never comes back, I might just ignore Part 2 of the seventh film. =.=...

ZOMS!! YES!! TAKE OVER THE WORLD!!!

KUKUKU!!!

Just ... don't let me near anything shiny ...

The shopuld totally cut it when Harry is drowning and Ron saves him, that would be awesome.

Or at least be veil and give non-readers a cliffhanger so we can seriously misguide them!

Serves them right for not reading the book before seeing the movie!!

I will loose any respect that i have/ever have had if they make it so Ron never comes back. Ronneeds to come back. There was a point to the whole thing... of course, their track record is never the greatest with understanding the points of things in the book....

I dunno....I kinda think that when they escape gringotts is a good place to end. We see they get together, we can see something of Voldemort realizing his horcruxes are being destroyed and Harry realizing that one is hidden at hogwarts (to set up plot for second half) and then finish it off with an epic scene of the dragon flying off into the distance as they watch it or something.

I just kinda thought it would be a sweet ending to watch a dragon fly off. ^^

Hm...the dragon flying off does sound like a good place to cut it. Does anyone know if they're cutting Dobby out or not? If they are, then there's a high possibility of the dragon flying off being the cut off point.

They can't cut Dobby out! He needs to be remembered.

The dragon flying off sounds good, which makes me think that they wont cut it there...lol.

lol naturally. They cut dobby they'll probably cut anything that requires any decent animation. Wouldn't be surprised if they cut the whole dragon thing out entirely.

Stupid WB! They cut out everything good, and mash lots of parts together, and then the story is completely different!! Grr....

Wonder how they will do the resurection stone bit?? You know with Lilly, James, Sirus...I've forgotten if Remus is with them as well...that's so sad.
See what school does, it makes important facts fall out of the back of your head and replaces it with things like endocytosis and math equations.

:nervous laugh: As Alex had said, knowing WB they'd cut off everything. Anything that requires money, cut cut cut.

I don't think Remus was in that scene, no.

That would be kind of sad if they cut the dragon part. It would've been a nice cut off point and it goes along with how they've ended most of the other movies.

If they dare cut Dobby out I will murder them very painfully!!!

The first time I read the book the only time I cried was when Dobby died!! It was so sad!!!!!

Second time I cried when Sev died - that was sad to - he risked his neck daily for all the people he despised, all for Lily, and then he got killed doing it ... and all he wanted was to see Lily's eyes one last time ... it was all for Lily ... -tears-

James sucks.

I say cut it right when Ron comes back and he's staring down the Horcrux. Have them cut it right before he stabs it for a nice cliff hanger that'll drive the masses insane.

it'd kill the masses sure but they've got to know that that a cliffie wouldn't be too much of a cliffie, I mean anyone who read the book knows what happens and anyone who it bugs could always just read the book! Stupid WB, omly the true fans are watching anyway, just do it one long movie with an intermission! Sheesh
