"Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" may not be out until July but obviously the producers behind the film like what they have seen so far: director David Yates has once again been tapped up to take charge of the next instalment of the fantasy series.

Yates confirmed to the news to Sci-Fi Wire, saying "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."

Yates also revealed that he's made what he describes as a "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."
