In a strategic move ala Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Bill films, Warner Bros. Studios announced this week that the final installment in the Harry Potter film series will be, in fact, two films!

The first part of the film version of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows will be released in 2010, with the second part being released the following year, Warner Bros. said yesterday in a statement.

“The story is too long and complicated to be adapted into a single film”, said producer David Heyman, “The company made the decision to make two films after consulting with author J.K. Rowling, who approved of the plan.”

David Yates, who directed the fifth film and is working on a sixth, will return for the last two, according to the statement. The sixth movie, based on Rowling’s Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, is scheduled for release in November.
