David Yates, director of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix told SciFi Wire today that he is confirmed in directing the next installment of the Harry Potter series, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.

According to Yates, "I am doing Half-Blood Prince, and I'm doing it because I love the world, I love the characters. I think I have more business with this world and these characters.

I've made a kind of tonal shift with the fifth film, which I want to continue and develop into the sixth film. And I can see the fifth story evolving into the sixth story in a really interesting way. So I'm on a journey with this material and this world, and I'm keen to complete it."

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, which is now in preproduction, is scheduled for release November 21st, 2008.

I'm so glad David is doing HBP! The Order of Phoenix looks like it's going to be totally good so I hope he works his magic with the next film as well.
