Crew working on the sixth Potter film, Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince, have been told J.K. Rowling's seventh novel, Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows, will be released in two halves.
For film-makers Warner Bros, whose first five Potter films have made £2.5billion in box office receipts – more than any other movie series – it could mean a £500million bonus in ticket sales.
But sources insist the reason behind the two-movie plan is artistic rather than financial.

That's just dumb.
They took the LAST book, Rowling's longest, and made the shortest movie from it...and ended up cramming/trimming a lot of the book. Yet now they want to take this one and expand it, which doesnt even seem needed? 7 books. 7 movies. Keep the formula. Make the new one longer...like the others were and it'll be fine. It doesnt need to be a 4-5 hour opus.
This is just WB trying to keep a money machine going. Jeez...you guys just GOT a 500 million dollar deal for going Blu, lets not be greedy.
