My two cents, Chris Columbus is an outstanding director 
whose direction has neither been boring nor bland or dull. 
If you think the Sorcerers Stone and Chamber of Secrets 
was boring,dull and bland I really hate to see your idea 
of excitement. This is exactly why you need to seperate 
the books from the movies.

I have no idea what "separate books from movies" has to do with "Christ
Columbus is a boring director."

Sorry, but the films have no emotional weight, the camera is stagnant and
some of the dialogue talks down terribly to the viewer. Like Mrs. Weasely's
"Only one place to get all that, Diagon Ally!" like, they've never gone
before and it's a big treat. The "howler" was a pathetic sequence, most MP3
players are louder than that thing.  I think he has no sense for anything
visual and his direction is very sitcomish. I can't stand any of his movies
and only like the Harry Potter because they are Harry Potter.
