David Yates, the director of 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I' and 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II', reveals differences between the two movies.

Though "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" has just been premiered in New York City, the film's leading actors Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint currently are working on the productions of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I" and "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II". Recently, David Yates, the movies' director, revealed differences between the two films.

"The first movie is a road movie basically," Yates said of "Deathly Hallows: Part I", which will hit U.S. theaters on November 19, 2010. "It's quite intense and very raw. We're way away from Hogwarts and it's a bit like three refugees being pursued across the landscape by these terrible death eaters."

For the second movie, which will be released on July 15, 2011, Yates claimed it will be similar to "Lord of the Rings". "Part two is a big opera basically, a great big epic with huge battles," the director explained further. "And very oddly moving because it concludes the whole saga really. So they're two very different films."

In addition to Yates, the flicks' producer David Heyman confessed that the script for the final installment of the wizard movies "is written in a very specific way". "That, I'm sure, will be where we end up, but I don't want to say now and then all of a sudden [we change it]," Heyman admitted.
