The first two films, directed by Chris Columbus, place more emphasis on plot than characterization and are generally regarded as solid but workmanlike, with most scenes being near-identical to their book counterparts except for some added magical action scenes.
On the other hand, the scenes which were adapted were mostly well-received, and some cuts were inevitable considering the Door Stopper length of the later books. Many fans were also upset that the focus on the main character's journey resulted in considerable Flanderization of other characters including even Ron and Hermione.

This resulted in a film series riddled with Adaptation Explanation Extrication, Adaptation Induced Plothole, and Big-Lipped Alligator Moment, so the plot is sometimes incomprehensible to anyone who hasn't read the books. The later films tend to be more controversial among fans, due to being more different to the books. It basically comes down to personal opinion, whether one prefers complete fidelity, point-for-point with the books, or a more cinematic approach that cuts and embellishes as the directors see fit. The Harry Potter fandom is rather sharply divided over whether the earlier or later films are better. The films vary greatly in tone and style, as pretty much everything except the main cast was changed at least once over the decade-long process of making the films - the director, the screenwriter, the score, the sets, the costumes, the lighting and visual effects, the actor who played the villain, the maturity of the child actors, and the level of deviation from the books. The entire series (which had taken a higher aggregate box-office gross than any other film series until being overtaken by the Marvel Cinematic Universe) spans eight movies. The films star Daniel Radcliffe as Harry, Rupert Grint as Ron Weasley, and Emma Watson as Hermione Granger.
Starting in 2001 and finishing in 2011, each of the seven main Harry Potter books was put to film.
