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.

I think it'll be good if he directs both. They both have kind of the same feel, so I think it'll be good to have a common director so that feel is distributed within both movies. I s'pose we shall seeee......

I went and looked at the tip, and it looks totally bogus. They won't have a date for half blood prince yet. Its too soon. Although, I would not be surprised if David Yates does do the next film. That would make the tipper very lucky.

Glad to hear they are starting filming HBP soon. They take so long to make they need to get started asap so they can use the same actors/actresses. Lets hope they can keep up with the 'flow' and film the 7th shortly after that. Need the 7th book though...

I haven't seen any of his work, but he must be pretty good for them to ask him to direct the 5th and 6th movie!!

Its great that they might not be changing directors this time. Honestly, I dont really like it when they change directors all the time like they have been doing. The styles are all so different and it gets really confusing. Lets hope he is a good director.

This is to all the people that are surprised HBP starts shooting in 2007; they've already set the release date for it, November 2008.
It sounds like OotP is going good, so maybe this is good, having David Yates direct the HBP too. Can't wait for OotP.

Maybe this time we will get a director to last more than one movie! HA! And guessing by the photos we've seen, he looks like a great director.

wow that's good. someone has obviously seen his work on the Order of the Phoenix and like what they see. I have every faith in him and I'm sure he's doing an excellent job and will continue his excellance on HBP (If this story is in fact true)

Sorry for posting twice but I've just realised that a HP director normally only lasts for one year - Same as a DADA teacher. Maybe it's not just the Dark Arts job that Voldemort has cursed!
We'll see if Yates can break the spell!

Hmmmm... Interesting! He must be really good if they want him to film HBP as well! OotP is very emotional, I hope he does it right... I think he'll do very well!

I hope that is true. It sounds like he is doing a great job with Order of the Phoenix so far so I think he will be good for Half Blood Prince too!

Wow, that'd mean he'd be tied down to Potter for about 3 or 4 years... that's such a long time! I guess it's good to get more coherence perhaps, on the other hand, I like it how you get different movies, it really makes each and every one of them unique! ;-)

Wow, they're already posting stuff about HBP THE MOVIE (hehe). We're still waiting for a OotP trailer here people! Some of us might just waste away from Harry Potter withdrawls. That would be horrible.
