FINALLY we have confirmation that Deathly Hallows will be made into 2 films and David Yates will direct both!

Warner Bros. and the producers of the massively successful movies will announce Thursday that they plan to split “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows,” J.K. Rowling’s seventh and final “Potter” novel, into two blockbuster films — one to be released in November 2010 and the second in May 2011. The films will be titled, simply, “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I” and “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II,” according to producer David Heyman. Director David Yates, who returned for his second tour of Potter duty with “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” and is quite popular with the cast, will direct both “Deathly Hallows” films, which will be filmed concurrently. Screenwriter Steve Kloves also returns and, by completion of the franchise, will have written seven of the eight films.
Heyman said he approached Rowling with some trepidation about the strategy but found that she signed off on its logic rather quickly. “I went to Jo and she was cool with it,” Heyman said, “and that was quite a relief.”

Apparently, Matthew Lewis confirmed on Sunday that Deathly Hallows would be made into 2 films. We still shouldnt treat this as fact until WB tells us but it strengthens the rumour.

“He said he was filming [Half-Blood Prince] and would still be called back for more shoots up until September, Release in November. what’s more is he confirmed that Deathly Hallows would be 2 films.”

Thanks Lewis Lovers and Matt Lewis Daily!
