I can only hope this is true.

Cool! I hope that this rumor is true. I like his version of the fifth film :)

Hmm..That’s interesting..(first?)

They should get a new director. Even if Yates did a good job with #5, they should keep the series fresh!

I hope Yates does it, I like his Style.

I also would’ve preferred a fresh face on the whole thing, but I can’t really complain after “Order of the Phoenix.” :)

I’ve said it before and I say it again … the director should be either Alfonso Cuaron or Tim Burton. They fit with all the darkness of Deathly Hallows. And I think the movie shouldn’t be a two parts. It should be like LOTR The return of the king which lasted 3 and a half hours … I mean who wouldn’t like a 3 and a half hours long Harry Potter movie? I know I’d do

I get the impression that the directors of each film were given the option to stay on, so this wouldn’t be a big surprise, but he has done a good job in general with OotP, so I think it would keep most HP fans happy.

I definitely wouldn’t mind David Yates directing the seventh and final film. His work on the Order of the Phoenix was more than satisfactory and I can easily see him delivering well on the next two films as well.

I can’t wait to receive word from Warner Brothers on this.

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!!

Well of course David Yates is going to direct DH! WB wouldn’t want anyone else and he’d be insane to turn down that sort of opportunity.

On a side note, I LOVE the giver and can’t believe they’re making a film out of it!

Haha, sounds like Lowry let the cat out of the bag :p This makes sense though, Yates is the safest choice.

I’m okay with Yates directing it, as long as they BRING BACK Kreacher and DOBBY!

Dear Leaky, please start a HBP countdown (275 days)

Ok, let’s set up a fund to bribe Curaron back for the final film. Who’s with me?

I’d love a two-part DH released separately six months apart, but a special DVD version edited together to be a single film.

That might mean shooting certain scenes at the start of part 2 twice: once for the theatrical two-part release (where watching the second part needs a BIT of setup) and once for a seamless version that just continues right from where part 1 ends… more DVDs for me to buy yay.
