Harry Potter 7 Director Confirmed?

According to children's author Lois Lowry, it appears to be true:

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.

If true, this would mean that Yates will have helmed the final three Harry Potter movies, the most out of anyone.

Director Chris Columbus took on HP1 and 2.

This hasn't been officially confirmed by Warner Bros. Pictures, which is planning a 2010 release date for the film.
