Last 4 minutes of Harry Potter Movie to be split into 7 films: Onion causes Facebook Outrage

The Onion recently took advantage of the recent trend to split books into several movies, thus capitalizing on and extending the life-line of Franchises like Twilight and Harry Potter. Their newsreport (which are becoming increasingly more convincing – you can hardly tell the following video is a total farce) claims Harry Potter 8 (part II of Deathly Hallows) would be split into a further 7 minutes. It’s pretty damn funny – check it out.

In fact it was convincing enough to cause a slight facebook panic among fans who took it seriously. Sadly, however, Harry Potter is coming to a FINAL CONCLUSION this summer and there’s nothing we can do about it.
