IT'S OFFICIAL!What was originally speculation is now reality: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows will be released as two separate films, one in November 2010, the other May 2011.
Also confirmed today was the rumor that director David Yates will be returning to helm the final films.
According to an article in the LA Times:
"I swear to you it was born out of purely creative reasons," Heyman said during an interview in a converted airplane factory outside London that has been home base to all of the "Potter" productions. "Unlike every other book, you cannot remove elements of this book. You can remove scenes of Ron playing quidditch from the fifth book, and you can remove Hermione and S.P.E.W. [Society for the Promotion of Elfish Welfare] and those subplots . . . but with the seventh, that can't be done."

| SPRiNKLES's Take: This is great news, primarily because it means that they shouldn't have an excuse to cut anything from the film that's in the book. They'll have at the very least four and a half hours to tell the story now. On the downside, it'll be the longest wait ever between Potter films - with HP6 coming out this November, it'll be two years before the first part of HP7 debuts. In addition to this, it means that current college and high school freshmen will graduate around the same time the final movie comes out. Personally, I think that's fitting. |
