After months of rumors, Warner Bros. and the producers of the massively successful movies will announce Thursday that they plan to split Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, J.K. Rowling's seventh and final "Potter" novel, into two films -- one to be released in November 2010 and the second in May 2011.

The films will be titled, simply, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II. Director David Yates, who returned for his second time with Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and will direct both Deathly Hallows films, which will be filmed concurrently.
