It makes Sirius' tragic death even more devastating. Sirius shows Harry that he is inherently a good person, and quells his anxieties that he is in fact the weapon that Voldemort is searching for. Oldman delivers a mesmerizing performance, and Sirius speaks to the core conflict of the story: Harry wonders if he and Voldemort are more similar than he suspected. Yate’s best decision is keeping the film focused on Harry’s relationship with Sirius. While Umbridge is wholly unlikable in the book, Staunton makes her obnoxious behavior somewhat comedic without detracting from her corruption. The uptight, shrill representative of the Ministry helps to continue the propaganda campaign, and installs strict new rules for the student body.
Yates also benefits from an incredible performance by Imelda Staunton as the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, Dolores Umbridge. Mike Newell’s The Goblet of Fire changed the tone of the saga although the film begins with a sense of familiarity, the characters are thrust into crisis upon the return of the Dark Lord Voldemort ( Ralph Fiennes). Christopher Columbus developed a whimsical sense of wonder with the family-friendly films The Sorcerer's Stone and Chamber of Secrets, but Alfonso Cuarón took the series in a darker direction with The Prisoner of Azkaban.

By this point, Yates rarely works on projects that aren’t tied into J.K. In addition to the Fantastic Beasts films, Yates also directed the last four entries in the core Harry Potter series, beginning with 2007’s Order of the Phoenix. The entire Fantastic Beasts franchise was set to be directed by David Yates, who is no stranger to the Wizarding World.
