The final book in the series, Deathly Hallows, was published one week after the film of Order of the Phoenix was released in theaters. The film of Philosopher's Stone came out a year after the book Goblet of Fire was published. The first five films were made and released as the final three books were being written.
The seventh book, Deathly Hallows, was split into two separate films in an attempt to encompass as much of the final book's content as possible. The sixth film, Half-Blood Prince, downplayed the flashbacks and textbook reading that comprised much of the book, instead focusing on the more cinematic present-day events.
Mike Newell came next, following more-or-less in Cuarón's footsteps but with a larger eye for spectacle and adventure, though his Goblet of Fire ( somewhat necessarily) left a lot of stuff out.īritish TV director David Yates followed, helming Order of the Phoenix and all subsequent films, combining the Cuarón and Newell approaches in terms of style while emphasizing the increasingly dark and grim tone of the later novels. Columbus was succeeded by Alfonso Cuarón, who decided to reverse that emphasis with his Prisoner of Azkaban, an approach which had a great influence on future installments. The first two films, directed by Chris Columbus, place more emphasis on plot than characterization and are generally faithful to the books save for some added magical action scenes.
