Wow.  I'd like to shake the hand of any script writer who could 
figure out how to make two good movies out of Book 4.  If you split 
Book 4 directly in half, you come out right after "The First Task" 
and before "House Elf Liberation Front."  So the second half would 
have the big plot twists, and the first half would have things 
like "Bagman & Crouch."  You'd have to figure out a way to do it that 
doesn't divide up the Triwizard Competition, I guess.

Personally, I'd much prefer to see one solid three-hour movie that 
cuts down a lot of the background stuff in the beginning of the 
book.  I know this is controversial, but I'd eliminate the QWC 
entirely, just for starters.
