I just went through DH and found two problems with the narrative, and these are complete spoilers for the few of you who don't read the books.

- There's no natural place to divide the story in half and leave audiences satisfied with part 1. I'm thinking they'll have to invent some big dramatic fight scene, either at Godric's Hollow or the Lovegood house. They can either end part 1 in despair with Ron gone or on a positive note with Ron returning and Harry getting the sword.
- The sequence of the last few chapters isn't right for a movie at all. Voldie gives them an ultimatum. They say no, and there's a big battle. The battle ends and Voldie gives them ANOTHER ultimatum. Then Harry goes and gets Snape's memory and goes all the way back to the castle to watch it. Then he goes into the forest and gets AK'ed. Then he has a nice chat with Dumbledore. Then Voldie brings him back to the castle, laughs a lot, and then there's ANOTHER big battle. Battle/Memory/Limbo/Battle. That works fine for the book, but it would make a pretty disjointed movie; the big problem is Snape's memory. I think they're gonna have to find a way to make it Memory/Battle/Limbo/Battle. Or I'm thinking the first battle, the one where all the supporting characters die, could be pared down or removed entirely, so that Voldie shows up after Harry destroys the last non-Nagini horcrux, gives them just one ultimatum, and Harry sneaks out and gets the memory and goes into the forest, and the big battle starts after Voldie brings him back and he revives and sneaks away.
