Harry Potter: 7 books, 8 movies. Theme park in 2009

Mar 14 2008

It has been announced that the final book in the Harry Potter series is just too big to be contained in a single movie, so will be made into two films, one to be released in November 2010, the other in May 2011. Potter star Daniel Radcliffe, who is currently filming Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (to be released on November 21 2008) says "I think it's the only way you can do it without cutting out a huge portion of the book. There have been compartmentalized subplots in the other books that have made them easier to cut - although those cuts were still to the horror of some fans - but the seventh book doesn't really have any subplots. It's one driving, pounding story from the word go." Meanwhile, Universal Studios, Orlando, will be opening their "theme park within a theme park", The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, in 2009.
