News seems to have popped up online stating
that David Yates has been asked to direct Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Mr. Yates is expected to accept the offer, with filming to commence in May 2007, two months before the release of Order of the Phoenix.
We will update this information as soon as we can.

Not sure how I feel about this as I have not seen OoTP (obviously) and don't yet have a feeling for how he treats these books. In my eyes you really have to revere this work in order to justify directing more than one film.
So I will reserve judgement until I see OoTP.
On the other hand I am so glad to hear they will be filming HBP so quickly. Now if Jo will just get 7 out so we can see that one as well.

Surely they haven't picked someone yet? i mean, the filming is still going on for the fifth! of course we already have a release date so this shouldn't be too surprising....

Well that's good for him. I haven't seen any of his work before and i'll wait til I see how he does on OOTP before I decide if he is the best man for the job or not.

It kind of seems like David Yates has been doing a good job on the 5th movie if they are going to ask him to direct the 6th movie. I really can't wait to see the next movie. Let the count down begin.

Apperently he is a good director. I haven't seen none of his work. Let's see how is OotP, In ly opinion Gof is the best movie as right now.

He must be good to be asked back, well I can't wait, I sometimes wish they had good director who could do all of the movies, so they would be similar in a way...

Well, they must think he did a great job on OOtP. If so, then I think we are in store for two great movies. It is still kind of early to tell?

Wow! OotP isn't finished yet and they already know when they will start filming the 6th film and when it will be released! Well, I don't know wether to think it is good that David takes on for filming HBP. I mean I don't know yet if he's a good director. Ah, I can't wait for july the 13th!!

I'll be happy about this if Yates does a good job with OOTP, so I'm reserving judgement until then. from what i've seen of pictures of OOTP, it looks good, but it takes much more than good visuals to make a great film. I have high hopes, though!

That will be good news if he carries on directing the remaining films, I would much prefer to have consistency in the direction of the movies, as well as consistency of the actors in the movies.

Arhh I hope they'll wait to offer him a contract till the movie has had it's premiere. I'd like to see how he's directing.
And anyway, I like the idea of every HP film having their own director.

I can't wait to find out more. I really can't believe that they have guessed a release date for HBP before they even had a director! that seems so odd to me.

I hope these two films will be better than any of the previous ones! It's exciting they've stuck with one of the directors for more than one movie. Now if they'd just replace Michael Gambon...*dreaming of perfect world*

If Yates turns it down, offer it to Mike Newell! But if he does take it, than he will be the first director since Chris Columbus to do more than one. Very interesting.
