this a quote from yates-

Quote:
I have the attention span of an 8-year-old and in a big blockbuster film I sometimes find myself fidgeting and thinking, ‘Gosh, when is this going to be over?’


on behalf of all the 8-year-old watchers of harry potter i thank you, but all the rest of us hate it.

Wow, I guess many people aren't happy with Yates. I actually really liked the 5th movie. I like how he set the mood of this movie. I think he did okay with making such a difficult, long book into a movie.

my favorite director was chris columbus. I felt that the first three were fabulous! OOTP was okay...i guess, i mean it didnt ruin it for me but i felt like "was that seriously the end... it was soooooo short!" and i didnt like it! it doesnt matter if the harry potter film is long! everyone will still go to see it anyways!

to me the fifth movie was one of the best but that could have been because i didn't enjoy the fifth book as much as i did the movie. i don't really like the movies but i watch them anyway

He was the worst, and he'll probably ruin HBP too

and if he does DH, I'll scream!!! Evil or Very Mad

Yates is his name, then? Great! I'll know who to send an explosive spell with the next mail now. Or better try my skills on Avada Kedavra on him - going to prison is little price... Razz
... No, seriously now... I truely hate OotP movie, while I do love the book... it can't be my madness, can it? Something's wrong...

I don't want to be mean but he wasn't that good.I did not like OOTP.It seemed like it skipped from the middle strait to the end.
