LOS ANGELES (AP) — Harry Potter has kept his fans waiting for two years, the longest school break they have had to endure for a new movie adventure about the teen wizard.

David Yates has been tipped to keep the director's job for the final installment of the Harry Potter film franchise, Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows.

Mexico's `three amigos' of the movies, Alfonso Cuaron, Guillermo Del Toro and Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu, have landed a new five-film deal with Universal Pictures. The Latino trio has formed a new production partnership, cha cha cha and the unique venture will partner with Universal for financing, international sales and distribution.
