In response to "I've said for a while the most impressive thing about the Potter movies was that they survived Columbus." by Ender

I don't mind Columbus at all. He did some great necessary work that set the stage for the other directors.

He established a lot of looks (Hogwarts, the train, etc etc) that saves directors time so that they can focus on a lot of other things and use a visual shorthand for some scenes

He did create a cast that stands the test of time in these movies

He really deserves a bit more credit than I think he gets

Hogwarts was redesigned after Columbus's films. But I'll grant him that visually, he was spot on. - Mop (205 lbs) Jun 20, 11:27 1
- Well yeah, production, casting and digital effects are things that would be done by other people - con_carne Jun 20, 11:31
