Harry Potter Director Receives BAFTA

The director behind the last four Harry Potter movies, Harry Yates, received a Britannia BAFTA in Los Angeles last night.
Yates received the John Schelsinger Britannia Award for Excellence in Directing.
Yates is an English filmmaker who rose to mainstream prominence directing the final four films in the Harry Potter film series.
He helmed the series' fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth instalments, all of which became an instant blockbuster success and made him the most commercially successful British director in recent years.
His final Harry Potter film garnered the highest critical acclaim of the series and his direction of the four films gained him accolades now including the Britannia BAFTA.
Early in his career, Yates achieved international attention for his award-winning short films and became a prolific television director with credits including the acclaimed political thriller State of Play (2003), the BAFTA-lauded two-part drama Sex Traffic (2004) and the Primetime Emmy Award-winning HBO production The Girl in the Café (2005).
