In this interview we also get a hint about when will shooting begin for the two installments of Book 7.

Here are a few quotes from the article:

So these films will be the same length as the ones that came before? We won't see two films that clock in under two hours?

No. The idea is to get everything people want in there. I'm sure there'll
be parts that don't make it, which we won't know until the script is written. But that is the idea.

What do you think is the natural separation point in the books? Where can you end the first film in a satisfying way?

It depends what feeling you want [to end on]. I don't want to answer that just yet because we don't have the first script. We do have a point
roughly where we want to end, but we haven't got a draft to know if
that works yet.

[ ... ]

And when do you expect to start shooting Deathly Hallows?

Early next year. Most of 2009 will be filming. We'll be anticipating shooting in February. We're all really excited about the possibilities and the challenges of seven. It's going to be a cracker.

"Years ago," he writes, "we briefly — and seriously — considered doing Goblet of Fire as two films. So this concept is not altogether new. As for Deathly Hallows, I intuited — almost from the first moments I began reading it and certainly once I'd finished — that to realize the story in a single film was going to be a tall order. Others in 'the group' felt similarly. So the idea of two films began to get kicked around as early as late summer of 2007. We didn't take it lightly. But ultimately everyone felt that despite the challenges it would present, it was the most sound creative decision. I'm sure some will think we're crazy. My wife looked at me cross-eyed when I first mentioned it. But I'm really excited about it because it should allow us to stretch a bit with the characters and give them the proper send-off. The story is highly emotional and those moments deserve time to breathe. And, personally, I feel we owe it to Jo — in order to preserve the integrity of the work — and the fans — for their loyalty all these years — to give them the
best and most complete experience possible. I'd love to do it in three parts!"]]> http://www.hogsmeade-village.com/xnews/news.php?xnewsaction=fullnews&newsarch=032008&newsid=3 http://www.hogsmeade-village.com/xnews/news.php?xnewsaction=fullnews&newsarch=032008&newsid=2 Sun, 30 Mar 2008 04:33:11 CDT
These were the words of producer David Heyman. It is official. Warner Bros. has confirmed that the 7th Harry Potter movie will be split into two parts. "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I" will hit theaters in November 2010, followed by "Part II" in May 2011. JK Rowling seems to agree with the idea.

Here's the official description of this documentary:

With unprecedented access, cameras follow author JK Rowling in the
year that she completes her publishing phenomenon, the Harry Potter
series. The programme captures her return to the sources of her
inspiration, and she reveals what she is planning on writing next.]]> http://www.hogsmeade-village.com/xnews/news.php?xnewsaction=fullnews&newsarch=012008&newsid=4 http://www.hogsmeade-village.com/xnews/news.php?xnewsaction=fullnews&newsarch=012008&newsid=3 Fri, 04 Jan 2008 08:54:27 CST
When she entered the room she said:

"This is really the room where I finished Philosopher's Stone, here.
This is really where I turned my life around completely. My life really
changed in this flat."

"I feel I really became myself here, in that everything was stripped
away, I'd made such a mess of things. But that was freeing, so I just
thought, 'Well, I want to write,' and I wrote the book and, 'What is
the worst that can happen? It gets turned down by every publisher in
Britain, big deal. It's really back to the wall time here'."

That is the word on set at Leavesden Studios, where the Potter team has established its own world, and its permanent sets, for the 10 year long production of all seven movies.

Emma Watson, who plays Hermione Granger, and Rupert Grint, who plays Ron Weasley, are delighted about the comic touch on Half-Blood Prince.

Daniel Radcliffe, as Harry Potter himself, is not as keen. Instead, he is eager to skip to the dark finale, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, due in 2010.
