Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part I , which is one of this fall’s Movies Coming Soon, is directed by David Yates and will be a two-part film (due to the length of the book) based on J. K. Rowling’s last novel in the Harry Potter series. It is the 7th and last in the Harry Potter movies. David Yates also directed the last two Harry Potter movies.

Part I is set to be released on November 19th and Part II will be released on July 15th of 2011. David Heyman and David Barron are the producers of both films and Steve Kloves is the screenwriter. He was also the screenwriter for the 4th and 6th Box Office Movies. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows will be the first of the series to be an entirely Movie 3D.

Splitting the book into two movies allows for an extra hour and a half of film which, according to Alan F. Horn, Warner Bros. executive, will make for time to “celebrate what this franchise has been and do justice to all the words and ideas in the amazing story.”

Prior to the decision to have David Yates direct the movie, other directors were taken into consideration. They included Alfonso Cuaron who directed Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban as well as Guillermo del Toro.

The plots of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Parts I and II are expected to be closer to the plots of the book as the length of the movies. There are several Movie Quotes in the press at the moment about the new movie, in one of which Daniel Radcliffe, who plays Harry Potter says: “This is a road movie, particularly in Part One of the film. People have been so used to seeing Harry Potter at Hogwarts and we’re just not there for the first part of the film. This seems to have freshened things up, and hopefully will get people seeing the films with fresh eyes again, because it’s just a totally different look when you’re not just sat in the same room for the whole time.”

In Part I, Harry, Hermione and Ron are on a mission to find and destroy Voldemort’s secret to immortality called Horcuxes. There are terrible dark forces around that would tear the three apart, even as they try, on their own, without Professor Dumbledore, to bring their mission to fruition.

While this is going on, a war has begun and the Ministry of Magic and Hogwarts have been seized by Voldemort’s army, the Death Eaters. The arrest and terrorize anyone who attempts to stop them. What they really seek is Harry Potter. He is The Chosen One.

Harry must find Horcruxes before the Death Eaters and Voldemort find him. While looking for the Horcuxes, Harry finds a secret tale called The Legend of the Deathly Hallows. Should the legend prove to be true, Voldemort might attain the amazing power that he is looking for.

However, Harry’s future is already decided. When he became “The Boy Who Lived” the path to the battle with Voldemort was decided.

The Movies Cast includes Daniel Radcliffe as Harry Potter, Emma Watson as Hermione Granger, Rupert Grint as Ron Weasley, Ralph Fiennes as Lord Voldemort and many others.
