See More... Holy Hogwarts! The final Harry Potter book will be split into two movies.

Part one of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows will debut in November 2010; the second will hit screens the following May, according to Variety.

That's good news for studios: To date, the Potter franchise has earned $4.5 billion worldwide at the box office.

But producer David Heyman tells The Los Angeles Times the decision "was born out of purely creative reasons.

"Unlike every other book, you cannot remove elements of this book."

Daniel Radcliffe and the gang began shooting the sixth Potter film, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, last September.

"It's been brilliant," Radcliffe has said. "It's also, I think, the funniest of the films so far."

Half-Blood Prince hits screens in November.

  • It will be interesting to see how they do it. Will the first part end without any closure whatsoever as if to say "to be continued". Otherwise I like the idea because they should be able to stay closer to the book with more time. All I know is they need to hurry before Radcliff has to start plucking out gray hair for his 17 yr old character.
