Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I is the first of two movies, based on the book by J. K. Rowling. Two movies are planned to be made of this book, of which the release dates are listed below.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II is the second film of the two movies.

Two Films Out of One
On March 12, 2008, Warner Brothers confirmed that the movie would be split into two, to do justice to the book. David Yates, director of Order of the Phoenix and Half-Blood Prince (filming) will return to direct and Steve Kloves is going to write the screenplay.

Where the films are to be split remains a mystery. Many populars rumor include the split taking place when Ron Weasley returns to the group and destroys Salazar Slytherin's Locket, when the group are taken prisoner by Fenrir Greyback and taken to Malfoy Manor, or using the Manor sequence as a climax for movie one and ending with Dobby's funeral. There also is a rumour that Daniel Radcliffe said: "There's going to be two movies out of the seventh book, or else I'm not going to be Harry Potter."

The Reason for the two films as David Heyman has stated is so that no major cuts can occur e.g. characters and scenes. Another reason is so they can go into more depth than any of the other films.
