Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: A Two-Part Movie!

Yes, the rumours that have been souring the fandom have finally been confirmed by Warner Bros. The final installment of the award-winning Harry Potter series is being split into two.
David Yates will continue to be director, and will have directed half of the movies and lasted longer than all of the other directors when this film is over. Steve Klovis will also return, and write the script for the final movies, completing the series.
The release dates are around November 2010 for "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I", and May/Summer 2011 for "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II". This sixth month gap, although may seem huge to some, is not too surprising, as this will be long enough to release the first one on DVD before part two, yet will be short enough so that people will remember the first movie.
J.K.Rowing is also apparently fine with the split:

Heyman said he approached Rowling with some trepidation about the strategy but
found that she signed off on its logic rather quickly. "I went to Jo and she was
cool with it," Heyman said, "and that was quite a relief." - Los Angeles Times

There are of course mixed reactions to this news, though it is almost all postive. Some people have said that it is only being done 'for the money', but it more often been described as a 'win-win' situation. Warner Bros. makes more mony from the two movies, and the fans get an extra movie, plus the last two will have more detail and less story cut.

Movies are Magic!

Hey everyone!
This is my newly-created blog. I'm Jemma, and as you can probably tell, this blog is all about movies, and everything that goes on the in film world. Ok, not everything but the major things. I can't exactly cover everything on my own in a small blog. This is also my first ever blog, I wanted to give blogging a go, so here I am!
So anyway, I like the movies (duh!) so I thought I would create a blog on them. I'm basically going to talk about upcoming movies, who's directing what, reviews for movies, etc. etc.
This is just a welcome-thanks for reading my blog kind of post though.
Oh, and I'm obsessed with Harry Potter by the way. So there may be a lot of HP movie news on here. I will put other news on though, not just HP movies. Otherwise it would be a HP blog. Which are quite common, so I chose another intrest - movies. And I can include HP into this. Actually I can include HP into any subject, like I am now...
Back on track, welcome to...
MOVIES ARE MAGIC!
Welcome to my blog! Thanks for reading all this, me going off topic and such. This is a short blog. At least, I think it is, but i'm reasonably new to blogging, so this could be a really long blog for all I know!
Please comment. Even if it's to say this is a rubbish blog and I got bored reading it. I don't want to blog if everyone just think's it's rubbish. Also comment if you think this is good and would actually read blogs like this. Well, not like this, but about movies.
So yeah. I think that's pretty much it. Email me at...I'll find some email function on this blog. Or i'll edit this, if I can. I'll find some way of putting my email up.
