Harry Potter conclusion movie to be split into two flicks

If you consider yourself a fan of Harry Potter, then this news is for you.

According to sources:

The “Harry Potter” books may be complete, but there are still three full length films coming, to make a whopping eight Harry Potter movies in total. The movie version of the sixth book, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, will be in theaters at the end of this November. And the final book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, which was chock full of plot that sped by at a breakneck pace, is going to be split up into two films in order to cover all the stuff that happened. (Rowling has not definitively ruled out another book, saying “I will not say never, but I have no plans to write an eighth book.” She later clarified that if she did write another book it wouldn’t be for at least another 10 years.)

So is this good or bad news? I guess I’ll go with the first. For people like me who wasn’t able to read any of the books, I think it’s great to have a film version that would cover a wider grasp of the things that happened. And who knows? I might as well get encouraged to start reading the books.

After all, all I need is a little curiosity and encouragement.
