Harry Potter and the Neverending Story

The Deathly Hallows, the next Harry Potter production set for filming, is apparently going to be split into two films. That raises some questions. Do we really want to watch Harry dither around for a few extra hours of near-sighted inactivity? And will Hermione bail him out in both installments, or will she wait until the end of the second film and do it in one big swoop?
