Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince, het zesde deel in de reeks, verschijnt pas eind 2008 in de bioscopen, maar de regisseur is inmiddels al bekend: David Yates. De Brit had ook al de leiding over Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix die vanaf 12 juli in de bioscopen verschijnt.

"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."
