Harry Potter fans still mourning over the end of the book series can rejoice: They’ll be treated to an extra film version of the “The Deathly Hallows.”
Even though the first six books were condensed on film, the seventh book will be (seemingly) filmed in its entirety and then split into two. CNN.com quoted producer David Heyman saying, “It was born out of purely creative reasons…Unlike every other book, you cannot remove elements of this book.”
“The Deathly Hallows” movie will be directed by David Yates (the same director of “Order of the Phoenix” and the current “Half-Blood Prince”) at the same time but released separately. The first part will be released in November 2010 and the second released in May 2011 (the better to build up commercial success and prolong the Harry Potter legacy).
So even if you weren’t able to buy The Tales of Beedle the Bard, at least you can afford a ticket to the movies.
