Screenwriter Steve Kloves, who adapted the first 4 Harry Potter films, is set to return to the franchise after taking time off to adapt The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time. Warner Bros and producer David Heyman were happy to announce that Kloves will write the screenplay for book 6 in the fantasy series about the boy wizard.
With Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire due in theaters November 18, and with production on Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix set to begin filming in February under the helm of director David Yates -which he did not write - Kloves will be back writing for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. With Order schedule to bow in summer 2007, expect Half-Blood to debut in theaters around November 2009.
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time is taken from Mark Haddon's novel about an autistic teen and his murder investigation. Heyman is producing the film and hopes that Kloves will go behind the camera for the first time since 1993's underrated Flesh and Bone.
