What is the title of the eighth Harry Potter film, based on J.K. Rowling’s novels?

The eighth Harry Potter film is Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2.

Released in 2011, it is the second film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the seventh and final novel in J.K. Rowling’s main series. The filmmakers divided the last book into two movies so that its plot and characters could receive more screen time. Part 1 was released in 2010, followed by Part 2 in 2011.

Daniel Radcliffe played Harry Potter, with Rupert Grint as Ron Weasley and Emma Watson as Hermione Granger. David Yates directed both Deathly Hallows films, continuing the directorial role he had held for several earlier installments.

The film is counted as the eighth main Harry Potter movie even though the literary series contains seven novels. That difference explains why “seven books” and “eight films” are both correct counts. The title’s “Part 2” identifies the concluding cinematic installment, not a separate eighth novel.
