Harry Potter mania continues.

There were announced that the last movie in the Harry Potter franchise will be released in two parts. The reason is because of a too much information there is a need, (for one’s pleasure) to split it in two parts.

The sixth film in the series, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, is due for release in November, and although the characters' futures are wrapped up in just seven novels by author J.K. Rowling, fans of the movies will be given an extra treat with a double dose of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson will reprise their roles as Harry, Ron and Hermione, while Helena Bonham Carter and David Thewlis have confirmed they will reprise their roles as Bellatrix Lestrange and Remus Lupin respectively. Imelda Staunton wishes to reprise the role of Dolores Umbridge.
Alfonso Cuarón, director of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, has said that he would be "tempted" to return to direct,  Chris Columbus, director of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone and Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, and David Yates, director of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix and Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince have also expressed interest in returning if time and scheduling allowed it. Guillermo Del Toro, who passed on Prisoner of Azkaban, has also expressed interest in directing Deathly Hallows.

"There's so much to fit that the view is the last movie should be in two halves. There is a huge battle when Harry, played by Daniel Radcliffe, takes on (evil wizard, Lord) Voldemort (played by Ralph Fiennes) that needs to be done really well," says a source.

And Rowling has briefly commented on the reports herself, stating on her Web site: "It is simply impossible to incorporate every storyline into a film under four hours long."
