Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 is the second instalment of a two-part film based on Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by J. K. Rowling, and the final film in the Harry Potterseries. 
David Yates, who directed the preceding two films, directed both parts, while Steve Kloves returned to script.
The first part was released internationally on November 18, 2010 and the following day in the United Kingdom and the United States, with the second released on 13 July 2011.
Production of the two films occurred concurrently, and treated as if it were one film.
The idea to split the films had been around since the middle of 2007, but only really came into serious consideration after producer David Heyman was able to talk to writer Steve Kloves when the 2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike ended and Heyman had Rowling's approval.
Heyman noted that the films will be a closer recreation of the books than the previous films because of the length a two-part adaptation entails.Daniel Radcliffe said: This is a road film, particularly in Part One of the film.
People have been so used to seeing Harry Potter at Hogwarts and we're just not there for the first part of the film.
That seems to have really freshened things up, and hopefully will get people seeing the films with fresh eyes again, because it's just a totally different look when you're not just sat in the same room the whole time.
The first part of Deathly Hallows ends as Voldemort retrieves the Elder Wand from Albus Dumbledore's tomb.This film starts with the trio planning the Gringotts Break-in.
