#Harry potter film characters series#
Harry Potter is the third-most financially successful film series of all time. 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 left a lot of stuff out. Columbus was succeeded by Alfonso Cuarón who decided to reverse that emphasis with Prisoner of Azkaban. 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. The films vary greatly in tone and style, as pretty much everything except the main cast was changed at least once over the decade-long process of making the films - the director, the screenwriter, the score, the sets, the costumes, the lighting and visual effects, the actor who played the villain, the maturity of the child actors, and the level of deviation from the books. The entire series (which had taken a higher aggregate box-office gross than any other film series until being overtaken by the Marvel Cinematic Universe) spans eight movies. The films star Daniel Radcliffe as Harry, Rupert Grint as Ron Weasley, and Emma Watson as Hermione Granger.
