Although i was only 7 when the first movie came out, i think that david yates has been the best director out of all the directors of the HP movies, and im glad to see that Warner Bors have decided to use Yates in the last 4 HP films as it show consistency.

I like David Yates. Hopefully he can make HBP and DH the best ones yet! :)

The continuity of Director is great for the end of the franchise and he’s so good with those darker films

I must admit I liked Alfonso Cuarón better David Yates just isn’t my style…but i’m not complaining about him finishing the series, despite th fact I was only about 7 when the first movie hit theatres ,

I think the best director was the PoA one, but Yates is good.

“In fact he is also editing the seventh film Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part I and shooting Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II”
This seems a slightly odd quote because it seems unlikely that they have finished all the filming for part one yet, so he could not be editing it could he?

They’ve got one thing wrong – he isn’t edited DH1 at the moment he is still filming it, they are filming scenes for both films at the same time, not seperately, even though the bulk of the second film will be shot later this year.

For me the jury is still out on Yates – the Phoenix was very good but I want to see HBP before I crown him

^^ i agree. If HBP is as good as i think it will be…. he will be the best director for the series! GO David Yates!!

yates is okay i suppose…I take issue with the screenply writers…they take all the good stuff out!!!

I loved Alfonso Cuaron the most, but I do enjoy David’s direction and I think he is a very good director to be bringing our beloved franchise to an end
*sniff

Yay! I see that there is many of us who loved Alfonso Cuaron the best! I just didn’t like OOTP. yes,effects are stunning,battle is amazing. but where is the HP story? but maybe its not directors fault,maybe screenwriter did it. we’ll know after HBP. because Kloves is back(yes!) and it looks really awesome…so if HBP turnes out amazing,then of course I’m looking forward to DH 1&2. because OOTP movie made me sick.

Alfonso Cuaron is my favorite HP director, but I do like what Yates did with OOTP. If HBP is half as exciting as the trailers, it should be a really good film. The only other Yates film I’ve seen is “The Girl in the Café”- a very political film with Bill Nighy and Kelly MacDonald. I thought it was really well done.

I think he has done a great job with the movies. I don’t think there is a way to please everyone.

I did enjoy the humor of Cuaron. It’s hard to sort out screenwriter and director on some of what I do or don’t like a bout a movie.
