Columbus steps down as director and there are some significant changes in style
as a result, most of which stick throughout the remaining films. Obviously the
death of Richard Harris resulted in a recast for Dumbledore. Sir Michael Gambon
took the role.
It was
produced with a $130m budget and made $796.7m at the box office, which, whilst
still successful, is the least of any Harry Potter movie. I’ll suggest a
possible reason for the boost when I do the review for the next film, but let’s
take a look at this one first.
