I'd have to agree with Emma and Padie. I think it'll probably be Yates. I'll have to see HBP first before I can say whether that excites or bothers me.

I liked OotP, but that could have been "beginner's luck."

I know it's clearly probably not possible, but I would have loved Peter Jackson to do it just because he was so faithful to the LotR books. And I have to admit, I would have loved to see Spielberg direct DH.

I wouldn't object to Chris Colombus coming back to be honest. I think he did a great job on the first two. I think it could end the series nicely with being able to have that circle. I think one of the Potter films' weaknesses is that they have been directed by different directors...

Hopefully, whoever it is will do the book justice.

I think quite the opposite; changing directors keeps it fresh and adds new life into the series. Chamber of Secrets was dull...but maybe that's Chris Columbus' style (or maybe that's to do with the book itself). We'll see with Half-Blood Prince, given that this is the second time Yates will have done a HP movie, whether it'll be true for him too.

That's nice to hear, but who is directing DH?

That's the point; we don't know because it hasn't been announced. Hence the speculation.
