Daniel Radcliffe: Split in Harry Potter films will frustrate fans

Fans will be left frustrated by the split in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Daniel Radcliffe has said.

The actor, who plays the title role in the film franchise, said some fans may be annoyed that they have to wait six months for the second instalment of the Deathly Hallows.

Radcliffe told Total Film: "It's going to be frustrating for the fans but not everybody would be willing to sit through a six-hour film.

"I think they'd rather we managed to accommodate all the various storylines."

He added that he isn't sure where the split will be, but suggested that it is currently being placed at a "real cliffhanger moment",

The first part of the film, which is based on the book of the same name by J K Rowling, focuses on three friends, played by Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint, who set out to destroy an evil wizard called Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes).
