“Potter” Director David Yates on putting it all together

by Keith Hawk · July 19, 2011

Director David Yates chatted with Geoff Boucher and a Hero Complex screening audience recently, to discuss the Harry Potter series, and the challenges in creating the films.

When asked about the process to put the film together, David Yates said:

“It would all start with Steve Kloves, who has adapted all but one…He has a fantastic ear for Jo’s characters, and Jo has said on more than one occasion, that he is able to write them almost better than she could herself.”
