DHallows watch and HBP trailer.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince today at Leavesden Studios, HPANA was told by producer David Barron that an announcement in the near future could address who is directing Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows as well as answer rumors about splitting the final film into two parts.

While not confirmed at today's visit to the eight-acre home of the Potter films outside of London, this editor's impression was that David Yates will likely direct Deathly Hallows and the film may very well be split as rumored. The upcoming announcement may answer one or both of these rumors.

Stay tuned for a teaser of our set visit report with the premiere of the first Half-Blood Prince trailer and a full report with the release of the film in November. Videotaped interviews on the set include Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint, Jessie Cave (Lavender Brown), Bonnie Wright and producer David Barron.
