Deathly Hallows Halfway Point Revealed Print E-mail

Spoilers ahead folks. In case you couldn't guess from the headline.


The point at which Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows will be divided into two has been discovered. Fans were both angry and excited by Warner Bros' decision to release the Potter finale in two parts. After the spectacular Harry Potter trailer hit them in the face, they settled firmly on the excited side of the fence. Now, they'll either get angry or excited once more when they find out where exactly Deathly Hallows' split point is.


Chapter 24. That's the official halfway point, according to Entertainment Weekly's report. In J.K Rowling's book, that's the moment just after Dobby dies and Ollivander gives some decent plot exposition, namely that Voldemort knows about the Elder Wand - which he promptly nicks from Dumbledore's tomb.


It's a good point to split it, if a little unsurprising: there's a moving farewell scene where Harry buries Dobby, plus the grave-robbing cliffhanger to tease desperate Potter fans. A lot of them still accuse Warner Bros of doing the double take "purely for financial reasons".


Alan Horn, Warner Bros President, is having none of it: "The key word there is purely... There's no question that Warner Bros will make more money with two films than they would have with one. But we also never ever would have done this if [J.K Rowling] had not endorsed it, and if we didn't feel that we were providing a better finale, with a more full sense of closure."


The key word there is "fuller", Alan. "Fuller". Grammar fail.


Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is out in 98 days time.

The second half will be 90% Hogwarts battle and 10% pointless epilogue.

Without the whooping crowds? I swear Voldemort's with his death eaters in the woods when Harry approaches in the trailer. I may have imagined that. Or, indeed, Harry may be imagining it - is it odd to have a bit from part two in the trailer for part one?

I'll be weirded out by Ron and Hermione snogging. Mainly because they're both my sister.

But that's like 2/3 of the way through the book! So I guess the second half will use up most of the special effects budget, with the dragon and the MASSIVE Hogwarts battle (which they've already messed with by making Harry and Voldy's final battle isolated without cheering crowds. Ah well.
Who else is going to be decidedly weirded out when Ron and Hermione finally snog?
And who else thinks it's a bit cute that Tom Felton's real-life GF is playing Draco's wife in the '19 years later' final scene?
