Why Fark, Drudge and Huffington when you can Buzz!?The final “Harry Potter” book, “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows,” will be adapted into two films, Warner Bros. said Wednesday.
Titled “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1″ and “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2,” the movies are set to be released in November 2010 and May 2011.
David Yates — who is directing the adaptation of the sixth novel, “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” and is slated to helm the seventh film — will direct both movies, which will be shot back-to-back. Steve Kloves, who has written all but one of the “Potter” movies, also is returning to write the two-parter.
