According to Harry Potter himself, Dan Radcliffe, the first part of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows will be “a road movie.” The Leaky Cauldron has all the details from a recent issue of Empire Magazine. Here’s a snippet from producer David Heyman:

[I]n the end I think they’ll be less edited from this film than films past because we have the freedom of making two films and I think it’s going to be fantastic. ...There’ll be a lot of action, a lot of adventure, and it’ll be an ending very true to the books that Jo’s (Rowling) written.

Is Deathly Hallows going to be two films?  I hadn’t heard that before.

Yes! It’s very exciting. The producers are saying that much less will need to be cut because of this, too.

this is a pretty good photo. i just wish they’d let harry grow out his hairs again like in GOF instead of that stupid bowl cut. is this from the deathly hallows?
on other sites everyone’s acting like it’s so weird to call this a “road movie”.  what was lord of the rings?

This is supposed to be from DEATHLY HALLOWS, yes. And while I agree with you that his hair should probably be a bit different here, I don’t think I’d want to see it as long as it was back in GOF. I thought that was a bit much.
