Earlier we had
told you about Guillermo Del Toro, a popular director, who was interested in possibly working on
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
According to David Heyman, the
Harry Potter series producer, Del Toro is not really in the running because "he's rather busy."
Though a director still has not been named,
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is set to release in movie theaters sometime in 2010.
NOTE by Dumbledore:
The reason Del Toro is busy until 2010 is because he has signed to direct the two Hobbit movies, produced by Peter Jackson. The first Hobbit movie is due out in 2009 and the second in 2010 with filming beginning late this year/early next year for both films.
