Other territories Notes. Harry Potter. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the seventh and final novel in the series, was adapted into two feature-length parts.[7] Part 1 was released in November 2010, and Part 2 was released in July 2011.[8][9] Origins David Heyman produced all eight films in the series since securing the film rights in 1999. Late in 1997, film producer David Heyman's London offices received a copy of the first book in what would become Rowling's series of seven Harry Potter novels. The book, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, was relegated to a low-priority bookshelf, where it was discovered by a secretary who read it and gave it to Heyman with a positive review. Consequently, Heyman, who had originally disliked "the rubbish title", read the book himself. Steve Kloves was selected to write the screenplay for the first film. Casting the roles of Harry, Ron, and Hermione Production Warner Bros. split the seventh and final novel in the series, Deathly Hallows, into two cinematic parts.
