Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows to Be Released in Two-Parts?

Source:  Mail On Sunday
The UK's Mail on Sunday is reporting that the seventh and final Harry Potter film Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows will be split into two separate films. This comes as an artistic decision, not a financial one.

The crew working on the sixth Potter film Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince were informed of the decision this week. The seventh novel is 776 pages long, and Rowling insists that splitting the film in two will allow fan favorite scenes to stay in the movie.

A source close to the film states, "There's so much to fit that the view is the last movie should be in two halves. There is a huge battle when Harry, played by Daniel Radcliffe, takes on Voldemort that needs to be done really well."

Rowling writes on her website, "It is simply impossible to incorporate every storyline into a film under four hours long."

Warner Brothers simply stated, "People are discussing all possibilities."

To answer your question Teester for me it's HP, I just love the books.

Well since it's the last movie that will be made for Harry Potter, they'd better get it right. Teester thats how the books are also, the last one Deathly Hallows was pretty dark at times.
Can't wait to see Half Blood Prince

Yeah, noticed as Harry's got older, the storyline is getting darker and more adult-themed too.

I don't know, the actor is getting to be a little to old. It's starting to get creepy.

Hey Vampire, LOTR or HP? Gotta be LOTR for me. Must admit, reading the books (including The Hobbit) helps, but the films were amazing masterpieces too.

It's about half a year wait I think, and a TON of stuff has been left out of these movies. Two parts are pretty much necessary for this film, if they won't put it into one, they need the entire book storyline to get this ending right, and anyway I'm super psyched for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince this November!!!!!

Got to hold my hands up and say I've not got round to reading the HP books yet, so not sure if any important info was missed out. I know with LOTR, important info was added in the extended versions. It was just a balance getting the story across without people getting bored in the cinema. For me, I could have happily watched it. But one book in two parts? Hope it really is necessary, and not just a greedy ploy. Also, hope there won't be a long wait between the films. A year between each LOTR film nearly drove me crazy, or crazier lol.

Well I already heard this news about a month and a half ago, but I'm excited nonetheless!!!!!

They made each of the Lord of the Rings films 3 hours long with an almost hour long extension to each of them when released on DVD. The HP films should've been doing this all along. Why film all the nitty gritty details now when the films should have been an hour longer than they were? Book 5 is longer than book 7, and it was also the shortest of the films. I don't see the connection here. Also, it would not have killed them to add an extra 2 minutes in movie 5 for harry to poke his head in the fire and talk to Kreacher, now would it?
