The Daily Mail is reporting that Deathly Hallows, the last film in the Harry Potter series, will be split into two halves. Fans will remember that such a rumour has circulated before concerning Goblet of Fire. The reason given is artistic rather than financial, considering the size of the final novel.

Quote:

A film source said: "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."

Quote:

At Warner Bros, who are rumoured to be thinking of Oscars and a big-name director such as Steven Spielberg for the final film, a spokesman said:

"People are discussing all possibilities."

Steven Spielberg had previously considered directing Philosopher's Stone, but later declined. As many fans will know, several names have been linked to the last film, including but not limited to; Chris Columbus, Alfonso Cuaron, David Yates and Guillermo Del Toro.

Whilst it's not entirely impossible that Steve Kloves might be working on the seventh movie script already, the production team are only about halfway through filming Half-Blood Prince. A script normally needs to be completed prior to the choosing of a director.

For now, treat this as a rumour. We will contact W.B. for further comment and verification.

Hmm... I'm not sure how to take this, yet. *shrug-shrug*

I kind of hope it's a rumor...and not...

I would be totally happy if they split it into two. Because we could get more deatils as in the book!

While it would be hard to wait for the second half of DH if they split it, I'm fine with it as long as Alfonso Cauron is not let anywhere near it. DH needs to be told in the correct order with no important parts cut out. He hacked PoA to pieces and left out so much stuff. Harry is too quick to accept Sirius and we were never told that Lupin and Sirius helped make the map. It was just not good. Chris Columbus coming back to do it would wrap the series up nicely since he started them, but David Yates did such a good job with Order.....
