Harry Potter News

I don't tend to make lunchtime updates - but I can't resist spreading the word that the last Harry Potter movie will be _two movies_, released in November 2010 and May 2011.

From here.

I think this is a good thing.  There's just not enough stuff that can be cut out of the book to shorten it.

Hmm. I'm in two minds about this, because it's true that it's got less easily-removed subplots than book 5 or 6 and that would make it trickier to film, but I don't think it would be impossible to make one good, long film out of it, especially if you cut chunks out of the whole farting around in the woods with tents sequences.

Am I the only person who liked them being stuck for ages outside was actually good? Who thought that having them leap straight from A to B instantly would have been less satisfying?

Yes. :)

I can see why it was necessary for some plotting reasons, but it dragged and I was bored.
