Which director of the harry potter series you think did the best Job?

My friend tells me that David Yates doesn't make the harry potter
series as exciting as the other ones

But I really think he makes it fantastic, the cinematography in the
5th one was AMAZING.
But my favorite Director of the HP will probably have to be Mike
Newell.

Its up to you,

Chris Columbus: 1 - 2

Alfonso Cuaron: 3

Mike Newell: 4

David Yates: 5 - 8
