The Los Angeles Times just broke the long-rumored news
that "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" will be split into two films, directed by David Yates from a script by Steve Kloves.
The report cites producer David Heyman and says the official announcement will be made tomorrow by Warner Bros. The films, simply titled "Part One" and "Part Two," will be released in November 2010 and May 2011 respectively.
Earlier today, SnitchSeeker posted an account from a fan who said actor Matthew Lewis (Neville Longbottom) confirmed this news at Collectormania.
[Note: While visiting the set of 'Half-Blood Prince' in January, this editor had a strong feeling these decisions had already been made, although reps and stars alike were quite coy during interviews. You may remember HPANA posted these unconfirmed suspicions but was asked by Warner Bros. to remove the article.]

I'd rather that they make it one long film...it's like a tease, giving us one half and making us wait another six months just to watch the full movie. Why are they doing it? Do they think they are keeping the integrity of it all? That can't be it because they never cared about how they left stuff out in the other films. And it will end dumb...split in the middle? And when people buy the DVDS and sit down to watch Deathly Hallows they're gonna play the second one straight after to watch the complete film anyway. Could just make it like a 4 hour movie or something because in a movie sit down it's gonna be that long or more anyway because people will put the second one on after.

Awww, I can't wait so much time in the middle of one film, there is too much time between the parts! But I do realize it's going to take a long time to film all of this. I am glad they're doing it this way rather than condensing the movie as much as Order was. I'm looking forward to this movie most of all.

Well as long as they stick to script and don't make the movies too short, i'm happy. This way they can include almost everything from the book.
