Thanks to an article from Coming Soon we are tipped off to a blog post from children's and young adult author Lois Lowry, whose book "The Giver" was supposed to be directed by Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix helmer David Yates once he completed work on Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. However, it looks as if "The Giver" has been pushed aside as Yates is apparently going to direct three Potter's in a row as Lowry tells us the following:

Bad news from The Giver Movie front. David Yates, the director currently working on the next Harry Potter film, was supposed to begin The Giver film next. But he has just decided he wants to do the final Harry Potter first, thereby postponing The Giver by several years. Maybe the opening of this film could be held simultaneously with my celebration-of-life service after I succumb to old age? Or the producers will decide to get a different director. Stand by. But without holding your breath.

News comes from the most unlikely of sources eh? Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is currently expected to hit theaters in 2010, but that could obviously change.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is currently filming and is expected to hit theaters November 21st.
