Final Harry Potter Movie 'Split In Two'
The final Harry Potter novel is to be made into two separate films, according to reports.
A report in the 'Los Angeles Times' said that 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows' - the seventh and final book in author J.K. Rowling's series about the boy wizard - will be released as two separate films, with the first released in November 2010 and the second following in May 2011.
David Heyman, who produced the Harry Potter films, told the newspaper: "Unlike every other book, you cannot remove elements of this book."
Daniel Radcliffe, who has played Harry in every film, also echoed Heyman's sentiments, telling the newspaper: "I think it's the only way you can do it, without cutting out a huge portion of the book."
The first five Harry Potter movies have made £2.2 billion worldwide, making it the biggest film franchise in history.
The sixth film in the series, 'Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince' has been filming since September last year and is scheduled to be released in the UK and US on November 21.
