Taking a cue from Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill, Warner Bros. Pictures has announced the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the final book in J.K. Rowling's uber-popular series, will be released in two parts. The announcement was made by Warner Bros. Pictures Group president Jeff Robinov, who also announced that David Yates, director of last summer's entry in the franchise, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, will be returning to the director's chair for this adaptation, too (making him the first director to helm more than two Harry Potter films).
