Based on the the seventh and final book in the Harry Potter series of novels by J. K. Rowling. Filming begins in February 2009 and will last for a year (3/29/08). The film is to be split in two, with David Yates, who directed the preceding two films, directing both parts. Part 1 will be released in November 2010, and Part 2 in July 2011. The films will be shot back to back and treated as if it were one film.
