Warner Bros. has announced that Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II will be hitting theaters on July 15th, 2011. Seems like so far away, but don’t worry; that’s for Part II.

The seventh and last book will be split into two movies. A thing I’m happy about, because I’m sick of seeing the books butchered to fit into a set time limit.

So, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 opens on November 19th, 2010, and Part II the following Summer on July 15th.

The sixth movie, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince is still set for release this year, on July 17th. It was originally supposed to come out last November, but was pushed back to this Summer.
