The only complaint I have about Yates is he cuts to thin. In the
last movie, overall, I thought it was well constructed. If 
flowed very smoothly, but the detail was gone. It was edited
down way too far. This one one of the longest books, and one
of the shortest movies. While it did show Yate's great potential
as a movie maker, it simply wasn't fleshed out enough.

It will be interesting to see what he does with HBP. That was
a story that didn't really have much of a plot. It didn't have
the great action adventure of the other books. A basic summary,
is that Draco is up to something, and Harry has an interesting
book; meantime, they are tracking Voldemort's history, and
thinking about Horcruxes. 

This is a story that really needs to be fleshed out to make
sense. 

Also, as I've already commented, I believe the movie makers
are backing themselves into a corner. They have left so much
important stuff out of the existing movies, I question 
whether the last movie can make any sense at all of the 
necessary plot details. They are either going to have to make
up for a lot of lost time, or they are going to have to go 
off in their own direction and forget about the books. And,
I safely suspect the last option will not go over well with
fans.
