Harry Potter producer talks about the decision to split Deathly Hallows in half

by Wendy on March 20th, 2008

There is a great (long!) interview with one of the producers of Harry Potter about the decision to split “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows”; here’s an excerpt:

We just thought how are we going to approach this? Is this going to be a four and a half hour film? That’s probably what it would have been. Would our audience really embrace that? In some way, I think they might. But I think the younger ones would have drifted. There’s always been difficulty making sure that the ones that are two hours, two and a half hours long – making sure that those are the right length. I think by having two films that are two and a half hours – although we’re not sure of the length – then it will be a richer experience.
