David Yates

Director

English film director best known for directing several films in the Harry Potter franchise and later the Fantastic Beasts series.

Directed multiple Harry Potter films starting with Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007) and including the two-part Deathly Hallows; works in both film and television.

DeBaser reviews criticize David Yates's direction of the Harry Potter films, pointing to declining quality, flat directorial choices and screenplay changes. Reviewers praise some actors (Emma Watson, Alan Rickman) while criticizing Daniel Radcliffe's limited expressiveness. Some visual effects and pacing receive modest praise, but overall the tone is disappointed.

For:Harry Potter fans and adult film viewers interested in adaptation and directorial critique

 To be honest, from the third film onwards there has been an inexorable decline, and dear Mr. David Yates has never gotten it right.

 In conclusion, I would say that Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix could have been a great film, but as I said, David Yates destroys all the magic that the film could have offered to the audience.
