The FLAWED Adaptations of HARRY POTTER - Full Series Retrospective & Critique

In this video, we're peeling away the nostalgia to look at the Harry Potter films for what they truly are: a flawed, decade-long, and miraculous experiment in filmmaking. We break down how a rotating roster of directors - from Chris Columbus's storybook warmth and Alfonso Cuarón's gritty arthouse vision to the blockbuster chaos of Mike Newell and the bleak war-film aesthetic of David Yates - somehow built a cohesive world. We'll dive into the chaotic, practical-effect-heavy days of the early films, the technical nightmares of shooting with child actors, and the evolution of the series from a comfort-food classic into a dark, political epic.
