David Yates to Direct Deatly Hallows!!!!

[susan ONeil]

I'm actually very pleased to see that Yates may direct
the last movie. Yes he did cut out a lot from movie 5
but my guess is that Warner Bros (up until this point
anyway) has wanted all the movies to be under 3 hours
so they can get more showings out of them and so I'm
sure he was under severe time constraints to get what
he got in. 

Overall, I felt the movie was very balanced - I
thought the trio's relationship was very well
portrayed and one got the idea of the closeness of the
3 of them even though Ron and Hermione did not have
really big parts. I felt other aspects often were
represented in subtle ways even if they weren't front
and center. I also feel he had to deal with what had
been handed to him previously (I think Cuaron and
Newell made some bad choices in their films in terms
of cuts or misrepresenting characters) - at least
Yates has read the books and even more important,
seems to enjoy the story, the characters and his
actors. 

Before Ootp came out I really thought it was going to
be a disaster but I was very pleasantly surprised. I'm
betting HBP is going to be even better and may even
get some of these missing elements back on track. I'm
keeping my fingers crossed anyway.
