Good news Potter fans

Potter fans all over the globe, I’ve got some good news and some bad news. It all depends on if you’re a “glass half empty” or “glass half full” kind of person. Am I not making any sense? Read on… Dark Horizons reports that the movie adaptation of “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows” has been delayed a few months. I was scheduled to release summer 2010 but now it has been pushed a few months. I know, tough blow. Breathe…

The reasoning however is good. Warner Bros. Pictures intends to split up the last “Harry Potter” story into two separate films to incorporate all the action. You see, I told you – this was just good news disguised as bad news.

According to The Los Angeles Times, both films will be shot back-to-back with “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1″ opening November 2010 whilst “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2″ will finish the saga in May 2011.

David Yates, who helmed last year’s “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix” and this year’s “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” is slated to return to direct both installments of ‘Deathly Hallows’.

The move allows for a more complete adaptation of Rowling’s 784-page tome which will please the fans, and gives the studio an extra chance to rake in profit from the franchise. All the cast have been confirmed to be returning for the fina feature.
