[HPFGU-Movie] DH will be splitted in 2 movies? And did Spall confirm it?

[Valerie Flowe]

I think Spielberg would do a great job on this. As long as he doesn't 
try to retrofit Harry back to Year One - age 11 (Spielberg often tends 
to have a pre-teen male kid in all his movies!)
He certainly knows adventure movies and special effects, as well as 
having an artistic eye.
I think if they do split the last movie in half, they had better 
release them about a month or so apart. None of this waiting a year 
B.S! That would certainly ruin the flow of the storyline. I'd love to 
see them do this book justice...chapter-for-chapter, including the 
epilogue.
And I'd love to see HP get some awards...similar to LOTR, for which 
they awaited the end of the trilogy to bestow much-deserved accolades.
