LOS ANGELES — Harry Potter was the center of seven novels, but he'll star in eight films.

The final book in the wildly successful series will be made into two films, the Los Angeles Times reported Wednesday.

Producers are expected to announce Thursday that J.K. Rowling's last "Potter" installment, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows," will be split into two parts on the big screen. The first film is slated for release in November, 2010, with part two following in May 2011.

"It was born out of purely creative reasons," producer David Heyman told the Times. "Unlike every other book, you cannot remove elements of this book."

Filming began in September on the sixth "Potter" flick, "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince."

"It's been brilliant," said star Daniel Radcliffe. "It's also, I think, the funniest of the films so far."

The "Potter" film franchise has pulled in $4.5 billion at the worldwide box office.

So, copper_oxide asks me...

....."If you were a famous vocalist, from what music genre would you sing?"

.....This is actually a tougher question then you might think. My musical listening taste wanders all over the spectrum of music. And it has broadened even more as I've aged as well. :-) On any given week you might find anything from Gregorian Chant to Wolgemut to '80's to Dance to Electronica to Top 40 playing on the stereo in my car. So it isn't like I am stuck to any one genre in the taste department.

.....But, if I were a famous vocalist and this now assumes that I KNOW how to sing and can sing well, then I would have to say that I would sing Operatica. Mainly because the range in scale is incredibly breathtaking and I'd feel vastly accomplished every time I finished a song. It's a cool combination of a modern musical beat mixed with the vocal stylings and fancy wording of Opera music. It's really rather a neat sound.

.....I first heard something along these lines in 'The Fifth Element'. There is a scene where the 'Space Diva' starts off with the song "Lucia di Lammermoor", which morphs into a dance song, 'The Diva Dance'. I was intrigued by the sound and did a little investigation and found a whole new genre style. There are at least a handful of albums of this style of dance and opera and I definitely enjoy the sound.

.....So, there you go. Strange, huh? But you should expect that from me now. :-)
