Deathly Hallows split into two


The last installment of the Harry Potter movie franchise will be split into two, and shown a year apart. The people behind the movie came to this decision after talks with JK Rowling, the author of the Harry Potter novels, in order to give more justice to the story of the Boy Who Lived. Filming though, will be continuous, and will be shot as if everything were one film, in order to achieve better continuity for the story.

In casting news, Rhys Ifans is a confirmed member of the cast, but there is no news yet on who he will be playing, although numerous rumors are pointing to him playing Xenophilus Lovegood, the father of Luna Lovegood. The role of Aberforth Dumbledore, Albus Dumbledore’s brother will not be played by Jim McManus anymore, but by Ciaran Hinds. Emma Thompson will also not be returning as Professor Trelawney.
