GoF & OoP- Each made in Two Halfs

[Scully931]

I agree completely that GOF should be two movies. I wonder, though, 
whether it is necessary to split OOTP. Yes, it was a very long book. 
But, there was much description that isn't (don't take this the 
wrong way) necessary to the story. Yes, it's ALL necessary if you 
want to do it right, but they don't put it all in. Much of the time 
in Sirius' house is describing getting it clean. There are many 
times when the portraits yell. The Umbridge scenes are very simiar 
as well. I think she's a GREAT villan! But, showing her observing 
MacGonagall's class would get the point across. They don't need to 
show her with all the teachers. We don't need to see each of Harry's 
detentions. The way they're headed with F&G, we probably won't see 
them developing their "snacks." I don't know. Maybe it's just 
because OOTP is not my favorite book. I'm also only on my second 
time reading it. But, my first thought when I was done was "That was 
a four hundred page book put into eight hundred pages." 

(No flames, please! I still love OOTP better than every other book 
I've ever read except all the other HP books!;-) I just think it 
could easily fit into one long movie.
