New Harry Potter To Follow The Two-Part Movie Line
Harry Potter and the Deathly HallowsPerhaps in order to squeeze even more out of the series, Warner Bros. Pictures intends to turn the last film installment, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows," into two parts. It's slated to come out in November and in following the same trend, the gaming division for Warner Bros. will take a two-part approach to the interactive version.
As reported by GameSpot, Warner Bros. Interactive and Electronic Arts have announced Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, DS, PC and mobile devices. And while Part 1 of the game will launch alongside Part 1 of the movie, you can expect the same process to happen when Part 2 drops in 2011. EA's Bright Light Studio will handle development responsibilities and according to project lead Jonathan Bunney, this new Potter adventure will be "darker and more action-oriented;" for instance, those protective walls of the standard Hogwarts School will disappear. Young players will strike out on a quest to locate and defeat Voldemort's Horcruxes, which means enemies like Death Eaters and Snatchers will be included in the perilous adventure. Certain recent installments haven't really been up to snuff, although they typically show plenty of potential on the surface. They just need to solidify the control and give us a bit more to do; if Bright Light can manage that, perhaps this new effort will be well worth it for fans of J.K. Rowling's smash franchise.
But doesn't she have quite enough money by now? Maybe if we give the game a 10, she'll fork over .000001% of her fortune, which is probably still around a trillion dollars.

I don't take them too seriously, and enjoy them for what they are. I support science fiction movies that are well made. And by well made, I mean a lot of effort goes into them, and the acting is passable for the type of movies they are.
Now, the Twilight movies are a disgrace. I call it chick porn. Very little effort put into a franchise that will bring in bucket loads of money from romance deprived women of all ages. The money will pour in whether they make a quality film or not.
The Harry Potter movies could EASILY do that becuase they have a built in audience, but I commend them for going the extra mile to put out quality by putting forth maximum effort and not skimping on financial budgets.

The Sorcerer's Apprentice looks promising. Not sure what to think of The Last Airbender. I think they are going to come out with a Hobbit movie.
Can you explain your comment? I ask because I am interested in topics like this.

My only hope is that they find a way to make something out of The Wheel of Time series, though I don't know how they could squeeze all that even into 3 3-hour movies like LOTR did.

Most stories that have been written within the last 20 years have been influenced, and closely resemble ideas of past works. It is inevitable. It is hard to truelly come up with a unique idea anymore.
The Lord of the Rings was published in the 40's or 50's? Not sure exactly what year. So, you could likely very correctly claim that the story elements within it are "original" elements.
I think Harry Potter succeeds in fostering imagination, and I think that's a good thing.

I also die a little inside every time I see that commercial for Universal Studios where the kids point twigs at each other.

Again, I never take these productions to seriously, and really, it is entertainment... supposed to enjoy the ride and take you away from the everyday mundane of life and issues everyone of us have to deal with...
It's an attitude thing, take things with a pinch of salt and don't get down or negative about these things, just enjoy what you enjoy... and I am sure something will come along to light your imagination too...
Warner's corporate milking of the franchise, on the other hand, is incredible... two forcefully split a story that could be told in one sitting, into 2 films is incredible... its thievery right in front of your eyes... They will make double at the box office, and the game follow ups will doubly fail too...

World - I can see where you say that parts of the story are a bastardization of previous works...but she really did do a good job of creating another wizard culture; not so much another world....but she did come up with an entirely new sport (so that's pretty cool).

As far as 2 installments, it is perfectly understandable. The Deathly Hallows is a rather long title that is packed with action and many events. They could save up the Grand Finale for the last book and still have plenty to tell. It would be hard to put a game out that didn't follow that sequence too.
I have never played the games to the movies and don't plan on starting now, but I do love me some Potter. The movies are a release day midnight showing for me.
