Harry Potter's Follow-Ups


Harry Potter actor Daniel Radcliffe received credible and serious death threats last week.


The bosses at Warner Bros were really concerned and assigned 4 body guards, all of 'em have past army experience.

Dan's regular driver was also replaced with a security guard and to tighten the security, he's been asked to switch 3 cars in a day.

According to The Sun newspaper: "There is a real concern for Daniel's welfare. No one has said what has been going on. It's all hush-hush - but security has been massively ramped up. Daniel has the four guards with him at all times."

Meanwhile, there's another news about Harry Potter which only those who've read the Deathly Hallows (the last sequel of the series) could understand!

The final Harry Potter movie is gonna be split into two "to celebrate what this franchise has been and do justice to all the words and ideas that Jo [Rowling] has put in the amazing story" according to Alan Horn from Warner Bros.

Those keen readers following up with Rowling's sequels could sympathize this statement but cynics say that it's just commercial purpose.

However, the star himself seems quite unsatisfied: "There have been compartmentalised subplots in the other books that have made them easier to cut," Daniel Radcliffe, told the Los Angeles Times. "The seventh book doesn't really have any subplots. It's one driving, pounding story from the word go."

The budget for this film is estimated around 4.5 billion.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows:Part I will come out in November 2010, and Part II will appear the following May.
