    Chris Columbus was the best pick for HP franchise. He's responsible for the picture we have in our heads thinking about magical world, all the characters. He did brilliant!

      Yes for the first couple of movies, but maybe not for goblet of fire and onward. At that point the books get a very dark tone and Columbus I think was only used to kids films so ye I think the later directors were better for the dark tone. (Except for goblet of fire)
