Guillermo del Toro wants to take a crack at Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows cover art

After the wild success of "Pan's Labyrinth", director Guillermo del Toro is interested in making "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows". From /Film, this quote:

“I’m definitely interested,” he insisted, “now that the movies have grown darker. They have a contrast between the gloomy existence of the kid and the world he’s exposed to. They have evolved into a really nice universe.”

Out of all the Harry Potter movies, I liked the Prizoner of Azkaban the best, as it had a dark atmosphere and a twisted storyline. The movie was made by del Toro's buddy, Alfonso Cuaron, and was one of the better movies in the series, I thought.

They'll have to make a move on it, though... Daniel Radcliffe is aging so fast compared to the storyline of the books that he'll have a receding hairline by the time del Toro gets to throw him around...

I would quite like to see him take on a Harry Potter movie.

I'm with you, I loved Prisoner of Azkaban. Very dark and a bit scary!

yeah I have been thinking about how Daniel Radcliffe is going to pull it off, I bet they are regretting locking him in for all that money.

IMO the Deathly Hallows was the biggest pile of rubbish I have ever had the misfortune of reading. I enjoyed Order of the Pheonix the most so you can imagine my dsimay at the wowful celluloid version of it. I sinserely hope whoever does the last 2 films does a better job.

Hi Cib,
I loved Del Toro's work with Cronos, Devil's Backbone and Pan's Labyrinth and his sensibilities will bring a fresh darker edge to the franchise.

I still haven't read the last book to comment on it's worth as a plot line finale.
