Another beginning I thought of for part 2
Ok so what if we begin with the WB gold logo at night with thunder in the back,bluish background we cut to a window at hogwarts,and snape inside putting his memories in a flask and then he feels the dark mark and as hes going down we see scenes of neville,and the gang at hogwarts when he finally goes to voldy opens the gates and voldy gets the elder wand. When he points his wand up the HP logo appears in thunder.
What do ya guys think?

I actually would love for snape to have the memories in a flask at all times so hed be prepared.
We have the WB logo, then the HP logo, the camera moves through the window and we see Snape doing his memory thing and feeling his Dark Mark on his arm. Then, he exits the office and walks down the hallway before the camera pans out of a window to reveal students (including Neville and Ginny) being threatened physically and mentally by some Death Eaters in the courtyard below. We hear the faint school bell as Filch yells at the students to get to class and the camera would pan up to show the Dark Mark in the sky above Hogwarts before zooming out of a photo in the Daily Prophet which Harry is reading on the grass land outside Shell Cottage.
We follow the Hogwarts Express back to Hogwarts. On the train, students have fearful faces (like they don't want to go back to school). After following the train through various landscapes, we finally go inside the school and see the chaos and change that happened.

But your idea with Snape in DD's office sounds great.
I just don't want them to start the film at Shell Cottage. Hogwarts?Godric's Hollow?Malfoy Manor? Dunno. They'd better open it in a very grand way.

Jonny, I agree. Didn't Yates say that Part II will feel very 'grand, epic and operatic' and that the cinematography, atmosphere and coloring of the film will be completely different to Part I? :-)
I think that the film will be similar to HBP in terms of its look and cinematography. Beautifully artistic, vibrant colors combined with washed out monochromatic matte paintings, epic sweeping landscape shots, intense grays during the daylight part of the battle to give it the feel of a 'war' (WWII feel), dream-like yellows, browns and greens throughout the Prince's Tale, etc.
But thank god Serra did a marvelous job.
I think that DH2 will be similar to HBP but, from Serra's style, more 'realistic' in feel. Sometimes HBP was way too 'artificial'.
I found the following concerning Part II's feel and tone:
So you’re hearkening back to your gritty days of State of Play?
"Yeah, indeed. In Harry Potter Seven, part One, very much so. But, of course, Hallows part Two brings that fantasy world back in full cinemascope. It’s full of dragons, and big wizard battles, and magic. To keep the thing interesting for me as a filmmaker, I want to serve the wonderful stories Jo has given us but I need to move it around a bit."
"A kind of melancholic, haunting first film like a chase thriller road movie. Something where you see these kids and their innocence break and then I wanted to make a bigger classic fantasy film with dragons. They’re both slightly different movies but they’re from the same book. The thing that ties them together is just linear narrative that runs through the middle but ultimately they’re two very different movies."
"Actually it’s more suited to the second movie in terms of battles, dragons, giant spiders and everything. It’ll feel like a richer experience in 3D, I think. So we really want to do it."
"I am very, very fond of Part 1, it’s much more melancholic and haunted and intense than Part 2, which is more of an action film. There’s much more spectacle and battled and dragons and things. I’m still working on Part 2. I’m excited about both of them for different reasons. I like the intimacy of Part 1, the character detail and the quieter moments in Part 1, but I’m very excited about just getting to the end of the story and the big action stuff which is quite fun for an audience?"
Part II is more of the operatic epic, featuring major battles. In fact, the final battle was omitted from Half-Blood Prince to make way for the big finish. “We all know there’s a huge battle coming in 7. We’re all looking forward to it. We’re designing and planning it at the moment. We wanted to keep our pounder dry for that really. So wait until 7 part 2.”
I think that Part II will be really grand. I mean, Yates keeps saying this.

This suggests that there may be more than one dragon. During the battle, perhaps?
