Not long ago it was made clear that they would be splitting Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows into two films. At the time they only told us that they would be in theaters during the holiday season in 2010 and Part 2 would be in Summer of 2011. Now the official date for Part I is going to be November 19th, 2010.

These final two films will feature Harry Potter going toe-to-toe with Lord Voldemort. Directed by David Yates and returning yet again will be Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson.

Lets have some fun! So, who wants to see the legal letters (lol) & wanna noe what happened last year around sept & oct?

WATFORD, England — It’s official: Eight will be the magic number for the “Harry Potter” film franchise.

After months of rumors, Warner Bros. and the producers of the massively successful movies will announce Thursday that they plan to split “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows,” J.K. Rowling’s seventh and final “Potter” novel, into two blockbuster films — one to be released in November 2010 and the second in May 2011.

The films will be titled, simply, “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I” and “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II,” according to producer David Heyman. Director David Yates, who returned for his second tour of Potter duty with “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” and is quite popular with the cast, will direct both “Deathly Hallows” films, which will be filmed concurrently. Screenwriter Steve Kloves also returns and, by completion of the franchise, will have written seven of the eight films.

One devoted “Potter” reader that is especially happy to hear the news is Daniel Radcliffe, the 18-year-old actor who plays the title character in the wizardry epic.

Some cynics will see the move as simply doubling the box-office payday, but Radcliffe told The Times that the split is purely in service of the story.
