Potter split
Friday, March 14th, 2008
Warner Bros has admitted that the seventh and final Harry Potter book will be adapted for the big screen into two parts.
Producer David Heyman admitted it was impossible to cram the 600+ “Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows” book into a single movie.
“You cannot remove elements of this book,” he told the Los Angeles Times.
Potter fans have been left disappointed in the past when key scenes, including Quidditch matches, were dropped from the big-screen adaptations.
Christopher Paolini’s book is another in the line of highly successful children’s fantasy books that have been made into films in order to cash in on the popularity of the original novel, but also this very trend. It joins the Harry Potter series, A Series of Unfortunate Events, the Alex Rider series, and even the Lord of the Rings trilogy.
