[HPFGU-Movie] Undeathly Hallows ? (was Re: The Boy in the Striped Pajamas/Pyjamas)

[Cabal]

There are two ways, I see of cutting the film.

 

The first is linear. Basically I think you end part one when Ron returns and
destroys the locket.  This is literally the dead center of the book and
marks the end of the camping trip.

 

The problem here is that the first film will be rather slow compared to the
second, only three main sequences, the wedding, Godrics Hollow and Bathilda
/ Snake.

 

The other option is to focus the first half on the Horcruxes (knowing the
final Horcrux is in Hogwarts and has to wait until the end) and moving
things around so that they go to Bill & Fleurs before visiting Lovegood.
This way you concentrate the first film on the horcruxes and end on the
grand finale of breaking out of Gringots and flying away on a dragon.

 

The second film would then start at the Lovegoods, where the search for the
Hallows really takes off. It would make a good bit of action for the
opening. You could still have them get caught and escape to Bills but
instead of plotting the Gringots heist again they would simply bury Doby and
move on. 

 

It would mess up continuity, but maintain faithfulness, spread out the
action more evenly and allow the entire second half of the second film to be
what it should be, the assault on Hogwarts and the destruction for the tiara
and nagini.

 

IMO

Any thoughts on what other themes might be used to split the movies 
into two ? 

Alison, also wondering if they are just going to go with Part 1 and 
Part 2 as titles.
