""He's wearing the exact same costume that we designed for Hagrid. Part of me was like, 'What's the point?' the director said. 'I thought everything was going to be different, but it's more of the same. It's all going to be the same.'""
""Part of it is really exciting, so I'm excited to see what they're going to do with it," he said. "Part of it is sort of deja vu all over again.""
""I feel like I've done it ... I'm really proud of those films, the first three that I was involved with, and I'm moving on," he said."
""I thought, 'I can't do another six, seven, eight years of this. My kids will grow up and I'll never get to know them,'" he said."
Chris Columbus observed photos of Nick Frost as Hagrid wearing a costume identical to the original film design, prompting doubts about the new series' distinctiveness. The costume similarity felt flattering yet produced a sense of déjà vu and concern that the adaptation might closely mirror the earlier films' visuals. Columbus directed the first two films and produced the third before leaving due to emotional and physical exhaustion and family priorities. He remains proud of the initial films and intends to move on. Other collaborators from the films have also expressed mixed reactions to the television adaptation.
