The Harry Potter film series is based on the seven Harry Potter novels by British author J. K. Rowling and, when complete, will consist of seven fantasy-adventure films, with the final instalment split into two parts. The film franchise stars Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson as the leading three characters, Harry Potter, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger.
The film adaptation of the seventh and final novel, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, is currently in post-production after the final stage of principal photography was completed on Saturday 12 June 2010. The final book is split into two cinematic parts: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I is due out on 19 November 2010 and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II is due out on 15 July 2011. In an interview, producer David Heyman has stated that Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is being treated as one film, but released as two parts. Both parts will be released in 3D and 2D on their individual release dates.
The Harry Potter film franchise is the highest grossing film series of all time when not adjusted for inflation, with over $5.4 billion in worldwide receipts. Currently the series consists of six motion pictures, all of which (unadjusted for inflation) are on the all time list of 30 highest-grossing films worldwide, with the first and fifth films among the top ten. The latest instalment, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, was released in cinemas worldwide on 15 July 2009.
