Steve Kloves talks Deathly Hallows split

Potter screenwriter Steve Kloves today sent an email to the Baltimore Sun, shedding light on his thoughts of the Deathly Hallows split announced yesterday:

“Years ago,” he writes, “we briefly – and seriously – considered doing Goblet of Fire as two films. So this concept is not altogether new. As for Deathly Hallows, I intuited – almost from the first moments I began reading it and certainly once I’d finished – that to realize the story in a single film was going to be a tall order. Others in 'the group' felt similarly. So the idea of two films began to get kicked around as early as late summer of 2007. We didn’t take it lightly. But ultimately everyone felt that despite the challenges it would present, it was the most sound creative decision. I’m sure some will think we’re crazy.
