The Harry Potter films need the vision and direction of someone who can capture the depth, fantasy, and mystery of the story. With Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix already under the wings of Director David Yates (who has only directed British television) fans should look for a more experienced director. Such a director is Tim Burton. His mastery with such films as Big Fish, Edward Scissorhands, and Nightmare Before Christmas proves that he can take on Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince for all the dark and mysterious elements that it exudes. We petition to bring on Tim Burton to direct the film Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, knowing he would do justice to the novel and give viewers of the film the same emjoyment as readers of the book.
