Are you reading, WB?

Probably not. :P But there's been a lot of hubbub about Deathly Hallows being split into two movies, and a lot of freaking out about them possibly splitting the movie where spoilers jump out from a bush and bite Harry's head off. ) Personally, I feel like that particular moment is too early in the story to make the split, and what's more, I think the filmmakers are well aware of it.

I brought this up a few months ago, adding that the other big OMG moment would be where Lockhart is released from St. Mungo's and opens a dance club called Spoilers, ) which I feel is too late for the split. Then the lovely and brilliant [livejournal.com profile] divinemum had the wonderful idea that they might split the movie when Voldemort unleashes his army of spoilers and destroys 1/3 of the Muggle population. ) The more I think about it, the more I'm in love with the idea, and here are a few reasons why.

Cut for reasons, and for DH spoilers. )

I'm fairly confident that Steve Kloves and whoever is directing DH can figure all this out without my help. But I thought I'd put this out there for the benefit of fans who might be skittish about where the split might happen - since it's seeming more and more like yes, there's going to BE a split.
