Final Harry Potter film to be in 2 parts

One of my favorite fansites, The Leaky Cauldron, just announced that the final Harry Potter film, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, will be broken into 2 parts with David Yates as the Director and Steven Kloves rounding out the series as screenwriter.

Accourding to Leaky News,

“The movies are to be filmed at the same time, and will be released several months apart, with Part One due November 2010, and Part Two, May 2011.”

This is very good news giving obsessed Potter fans, such as myself, even more to look forward to.
