Which Harry Potter book was adapted into two films, creating the series’ final movie pair?

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows was adapted into two films, creating the final movie pair in the Harry Potter series.

The novel is the seventh and final main Harry Potter book. It was published in 2007 and follows Harry, Ron, and Hermione as they leave Hogwarts to search for and destroy Voldemort’s Horcruxes. The story also brings the legend of the Deathly Hallows into the central plot.

Warner Bros. divided the adaptation into Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1 and Part 2. Part 1 was released in 2010, while Part 2 followed in 2011. Splitting the final novel allowed the filmmakers to retain more of its plot and character material than a single film might have allowed.

Because the seven novels became eight films, the final book is the usual answer when readers ask why the movie count is one higher than the book count. The two-part finale concludes the film series with the Battle of Hogwarts.
