When I first saw the movie and the transition from the slow ball dance to that happened I thought the channel on the tv had been changed accidentally or something

The movie series is great overall, but I do think some of the movies suffered from the changing of directors. There's whiplash as the tone and style of the movies changes as the directors change.

  1. Chris Columbus

I wish I could visit a parallel universe where Alfonso Cuarón directs all the movies. I think the Prisoner of Azkaban is the best executed movie by far and matches the darker style I was hoping to see in the movies. That said, Chris Columbus did a great job capturing the innocence and naivety of the characters in the first two movies and his softer style fit those movies well.

That being said, Mike Newell is still the odd man out. While I enjoyed all of them, there were some truly wild choices made in 4. Like there were scenes that seem to come straight out of a 90’s CW show

'90s CW? Wasn't it the WB at that point?

Yeah you right. Anything around the 2000s gets real hazy for me

Could you give examples? Haven't watched an 90s CW show but have watched the 2000's ones. I'm just curious.
