Radcliffe & Heyman Elaborate on DH Split
From HarryPotterFanZone.com:
In an Empire magazine interview, Daniel Radcliffe and David Heyman elaborated about the "split scene" dividing Deathly Hallows Part 1 and Part 2: "We've played around with a couple of places," said Heyman, "and ultimately settled on a place that we think is very exciting, and I think quite bold, in that it's not necessarily where one might expect. You want to give a sense of completion on one hand, but a sense that there's another piece, more to come. We tried one and then Steve [Kloves] came up with the idea to try it another way and when we tried that, it felt just right." Dan added that the split is "at a very tense cliffhanger."
