Which film was the first Harry Potter movie directed by David Yates?

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix was the first Harry Potter film directed by David Yates.

Released in 2007, the film adapts the fifth novel in Rowling’s series. David Yates took over the director’s role from Mike Newell, who had directed Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Yates then directed the remaining four Harry Potter films, making him the director of the largest consecutive run in the film series.

The film stars Daniel Radcliffe as Harry Potter, Emma Watson as Hermione Granger, and Rupert Grint as Ron Weasley. Imelda Staunton plays Dolores Umbridge, whose Ministry-backed control of Hogwarts drives much of the story.

The movie includes the formation of Dumbledore’s Army and the battle in the Department of Mysteries. It also depicts the death of Sirius Black. The film was produced by Warner Bros. and became the second-highest-grossing film of 2007 worldwide, behind Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End.
