Three more Harry Potter movies instead of just two

harrypotterazkaban.jpgWith the publication of the seventh and final Harry Potter book fans around the world have been feeling the blues since there are to be no more adventures of the boy wizard. But there may be a condolence prize coming after the release of the sixth movie, “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince”. The Daily Mail is reporting that the crew of the movie have been told that the seventh book in the series, “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows”, will be broken up into two parts and filmed as two separate movies.

“There’s so much to fit that the view is the last movie should be in two halves,” said the paper’s anonymous source. “There is a huge battle when Harry, played by Daniel Radcliffe, takes on Voldemort that needs to be done really well.”

 

The informant goes on to say that the producers of the series would like to commission someone like “Indiana Jones” director Steven Spielberg to make one of the “Deathly Hallows” pictures and send the series out with a big blast. “People are discussing all possibilities.”

From Harry Potter to 007?

danielradcliffe.jpgThe world best knows Daniel Radcliffe as the boy wizard Harry Potter but will it soon know him as Bond…James Bond? That is the rumor that a website has heard and according to their source Radcliffe’s people are considering it.

According to the Joblo website Radcliffe has been approached about playing a junior age secret agent in what would be an adaptation of Charlie Higson’s young James Bond books. Higson’s novels take place in the 1930s so that the older Bond is the same era as in Ian Fleming’s novels which took place in the Cold War. If the rumor is true it is more than likely that the setting would be moved to the modern day. Another factor to consider is the age of Radcliffe. In the young Bond books the character is in his early teenage years while Radcliffe is 18-years-old now. The actor probably won’t be available until after he finishes the seventh and final “Harry Potter” movie in two years. Daniel certainly won’t be free this fall as he is preparing to star in the Broadway version of his hit stage play “Equus”.

Radcliffe Remains “Harry Potter” Thru All Seven Movies

HarryPotter5_radcliffeWhile young Daniel Radcliffe is busy reinventing himself as a mature actor in the stage play “Equus”, he isn’t giving up on the role that made him famous worldwide. Radcliffe’s publicist has told fans at his official website that a deal has been arranged that will see the seventeen-year-old finish off the seven part “Harry Potter” film series for Warner Bros. According to the site, Radcliffe’s deal guarantees that he will star in the sixth and seventh movies based on J.K. Rowling’s “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” and “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows” (the latter to be published on July 21.)

Warner Bros. will begin filming on “Half-Blood Prince” later this year and already has a release date announced, that being November 21, 2008, with the final movie arriving in theaters most likely in 2010. A director for the sixth movie has yet to be picked but both Chris Columbus (the director of the first two “Harry Potter” movies) and Alfonso Cuaron (the director of “Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban”) have both said that they would love to come back and make another screen adventure set at Hogwarts.

While Radcliffe’s short-term future plans seem to be solidified now the question arises where the contract discussions are with Harry’s two on-screen companions, Ron Weasley (played by Rupert Grint) and Hermione Granger (Emma Watson.) Both actors have said that they too would like to finish off the movie series but so far no official statement from Warner Bros. has been issued.
