Harry Potter and Deathly Hollows Part II, what hath thou wrought? It seems these days that every successful YA franchise since Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows Part 2 needs to have its last book split into 2 parts whether it needs it or not. This latest announcement from Lionsgate states that the last Divergent book, Allegiant, will have 2 parts opening on March 18, 2016 and March 24, 2017 respectively. The book in question has about 544 pages according to Amazon, which is not too bad when you compare it to The Hobbit (around 400-500 pages across 3 movies). Still, I think 2 movies for a book of 544 is a bit excessive when all is considered.
