The Writers Guild of America (WGA) and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) have reached a tentative deal that could end the 3-month long strike that has slowed the movie and TV industries. The strike will not be completely over until the agreement is voted on but the deal is expected to be accepted and work can resume on Monday, with the new contract not expiring until May 1, 2011.
This means that Steve Kloves will be able to commence the writing for Deathly Hallows!

I'll keep you informed as to when the official agreement has be made.
