Four directors across eight films

Chris Columbus made the first two, Alfonso Cuarón the third, Mike Newell the fourth, and David Yates the last four — the longest run of the series and the reason its second half looks consistent.

Alfonso Cuarón's entry dropped the storybook framing of the first two for handheld cameras, muted colour and loose uniforms. Every film after it followed that direction.

The leads grew up on camera

The three principal actors were cast at eleven and twelve and filmed for ten years. The change across the eight films is not makeup — it is a decade of actual growing up on screen.

The headmaster was played by two actors

Richard Harris played the part in the first two films and died in 2002; Michael Gambon took over from the third onwards and played it in six.

John Williams scored the first three films, and the motif he wrote for them carried through the rest of the series even after other composers took over.
