ComingSoon.net received a hot tip early Friday morning, revealing that Part 1 of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows will be released November 19th, 2010.
The news comes just a little over a month since Warner Brothers announced the final book will be split into two films. No word yet on the exact date for Part 2, but Heyman has previously stated in an interview with the LA Times to look for a May 2011 release.
In an new interview with Harry Potter producers David Barron and David Heyman both refuse to rule out the possibility of splitting seventh and final movie, The Deathly Hallows, into two films.
Mr. Barron states:
We are still discussing it. The announcement will be made hopefully in the not-too-distant future, with regards to the way seven shapes up.
The only negative of splitting the book into two films is that people could possibly perceive it as being one last chance at cashing in. But the real positive, if we were to do that, would be that we wouldn’t have quite the battle we always have of ‘How do you compress all that book into just over two hours of screen time?’
While Mr. Heyman says:
A couple of people have expressed interest, people have gotten a few calls and a few emails, but it’s still a year away.
We won’t start filming ’til February next year. So it hasn’t really gone bananas yet. We’ve got thoughts, and I’m sure something will be announced in the not-too-distant future.
Also, during last nights BAFTA’s event, actor Daniel Radcliffe dismissed rumors that Steven Spielberg will direct the seventh movie:
I have no idea how that rumour started or where it came from. It’s not true. How’s that for a definitive answer?
It’s absolute rubbish that Spielberg is directing the final film. It’s not true. There’s absolutely no foundation in that at all.
And says this about the currently filming of the film:
We’re getting through it alright. I’m really enjoying it. We’re about six months in and we’ve only got four more to go.
The seventh book in author J. K. Rowling’s series, “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows,” has been nominated for two awards in the preliminary ballot for the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America’s Nebula Awards. This non-profit group which aims to bring together the ‘most successful and daring writers of speculative fiction throughout the world,’ presents awards each year to a particular novel, novella, novelette, script, and short story that eligible voters have deemed the best of the year. “Deathly Hallows” has been nominated in the Best Novel category among many other notable fantasy and science fiction works from 2007. In addition to this nomination, “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows” has also been included in the running for the Andre Norton Award, which was established to ‘recognize outstanding science fiction and fantasy novels that are written for the young adult market.’ More about the Nebula Awards, including its past winners, can be found right here.The awards ceremony will take place during the weekend of April 25th in Austin, Texas. The winners will be chosen by eligible members of the SFWA when the final ballot is published prior to the ceremony.
The USA Today has published a Books Year in Review special, and selected “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows” as their number one book of the year.
In an article titled “Harry Potter prevails, wands down,” the newspaper addresses the various sales records, the pre-release spoilers and excitement for book seven in the Harry Potter series, as well as the post release revelations from Jo, but noted none of these things mattered in the final decision. “Deathly Hallows” was their choice as book of the year because “Rowling gave her story an ending that was as graceful, unpredictable and satisfying as the series itself. She reaffirmed that magic can exist when someone opens a great book and enters a world created from words on paper.”
