Short biography: Steven Kloves (born March 18, 1960) is an American screenwriter mainly renowned for his adaptations of novels, especially for the Harry Potter film series and for Wonder Boys, whose screenplay was nominated for a Golden Globe and an Academy Award. He has also directed two movies and will be directing a third (The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time) in the near future. Warner Brothers sent Kloves a list of novels that the company was considering to adapt as films. The listing included the first Harry Potter novel, which intrigued him despite his usual indifference to these catalogs. He went on to write the screenplays for the first four films in the blockbuster series. After finishing the fourth adaptation, Kloves left to pursue his own project and currently is directing and writing the aforementioned film, expected to release in 2006. Harry Potter producer David Heyman revealed in an October 2005 press conference that Kloves would be returning to adapt Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.
