According to producer David Heyman the door is wide open, should John Williams want it.
Here’s what he had to say:
RA (Richard Alexander)
DH (David Heyman)
RA: Hi, First I want to say thank you for your amazing work.
DH: Thank You.
RA: In a recent interview John Williams said that he would love to come back and bring his musical storytelling “full circle”. Will he come back for Deathly Hallows?
DH: The question is will John Williams come back? I’m a huge fan of John Williams he did three of the scores and I think he is amazing. He came up with some of the themes that have carried on. We have talked to John Williams and a lot of it will depend on his schedule for [Harry Potter] seven part two. If we can make work , and that’s a big if, for his schedule and ours then yes.
RA: Great, thanks.
Great news! Here’s the YouTube interview:

I’d prefer Patrick Doyle, to be honest. Love John Williams, but his scores are a little TOO theme based. Using the same music cues over and over and over. Which can be great, but I was really happy to see Harry Potter move past that.
YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES
PLEASE COME BACK JOHN WILLIAMS THAT WOULD BE ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. THE MOVIES JUST ARENT THE SAME WITHOUT YOU!
It would be incredible news to hear confirmation of John Williams coming back to score Harry Potter. What John Williams did with the first three movies was nothing less than amazing, and I would be very happy to know if John Williams is for sure coming back to do Deathly Hallows.
THESE NEWS ARE WONDERFUL! HARRY POTTER WITHOUT JOHN WILLIAM’S SOUNDTRACK IS NOT AN HARRY POTTER FILM!
THAT’S FANTASTIC.
I love John Williams work and his themes that are timeless. but I think too much of his work is theme-based. Patrick Doyle went all out for the fourth Harry Potter film and made something unique for almost every track. Even Nicholas Hooper did some new stuff. I want John Williams back, but I want some new memorable stuff.
I hope John Williams returns – I felt as though, after he left, the films were just not as good as they could have been. Doyle composed some good stuff as well as Hooper, but it didn’t scream MAGIC like Williams’s themes
John Williams is a master at what he does. The music he has made for movies will stand the test of time. He really puts his heart and soul into everyone of his compositions. The last few films have been good, but that magic element he brought in the first few was missing. He very well could be the greatest film scorer in Hollywood.

I wouldn’t mind that at all. Either him or Patrick Doyle would do a great job.
