In a recent interview with
TV Guide, where he was promoting the US television debut of
My Boy Jack for Masterpiece Classic, Daniel Radcliffe commented on the decision to make
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows two movies, which he called a "positive thing."
Dan also talks about the challenges to film the two-part end to the series:
Quote:
"And I think the fans will appreciate that more than had we tried to make it into one film. We'd have to cram so much in there and actually have to skip over some things. And in this seventh book, there are a lot of things you can't afford to skip over."
The biggest concern, however, will be where to split the films:
Quote:
"The challenge now is for them to find out where the breaking point is between the two films," says Radcliffe, "because I don't think there is an obvious place [to do so]."
Dan briefly mentions that after he is done filming
Half-Blood Prince, which is currently in production, he will begin his Broadway stage-run for
Equus, after which he will start working on
Deathly Hallows, which "will begin early-ish next year."
