Del Toro Talks Again on Possibly Directing "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows"

As Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is currently in production with David Yates at the helm of the film, rumors continue to swirl over who will direct the final Harry Potter film, that is set to be released sometime in 2010. One of the directors mentioned more of late is Guillermo Del Toro, who talks again about the possibility of directing films such as "The Hobbit," and notably "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows." Echoing comments made last October, in a new interview with MTV Mr. Del Toro says again that he is "definitely interested" in directing the final Harry Potter film. He says he enjoys the darker tone of the recent films,noting after his friend Alfonso Cuaron directed the third film, the movies have "evolved greatly into a very nice universe to play at (in)." He also notes positively several times how "Dickensian" he felt the Harry Potter series is, and stated he felt the last line of "Deathly Hallows" was a "beautiful, subdued way" to end the book, and was "very moving."
