Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix director David Yates has confirmed that he will be directing Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince in a new interview with Scifi Wire.

He says:

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.
