Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows - Split To 2 Movies. When will the commercialism end?


Is there no end to commercialism? I absolutely adore Harry Potter, but they are just milking the book series like a cow with two dozen t*ts if you know what I mean.

I just found on Entertainment Weekly that the final installment of the Harry Potter movie franchise is being released in two parts, six months apart. Warner Bros. is set to release the first part of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows in November 2010 with the second part of the finale opening in May 2011.

Both movies will be directed by David Yates and written by Steve Kloves. The movies will be shot concurrently, and it's not yet clear at what point in the story, adapted from J.K. Rowling's 784-page book, the films will break.

The seventh and final novel sees Harry and his friends battle arch nemesis Voldemort to the death. The book sold a record 11 million copies during the first 24 hours after its release last July. The sixth movie, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, also directed by Yates, will open this November. Daniel Radcliffe and the rest of the cast from the sixth movie are already confirmed for the finale.
