Harry Potter film series receives 2012 AFI special award, picked up by Chris Columbus
 
As announced a month ago, the Harry Potter film series would be receiving a special award at the 2012 American Film Institute AFI Awards, which took place in Los Angeles earlier today. On hand to receive the honour was director Chris Columbus, who not only helmed the first two installments of the series - Sorcerer's Stone and Chamber of Secrets - but played a key role in creating the film series from its beginning to end, including the casting of Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson, and many of their young costars. Photos of Columbus with the certificate can be found in our galleries.

Quote:

AFI also gave the "Harry Potter" franchise a special award, a recognition that is given to films that don't meet AFI's criteria, most notably that a production must be primarily American- generated.

That's so good for HP and I'm glad Chris Columbus got it! ^_^

I'm so happy to see Harry Potter recognized. And I'm even happier to see that Chris Columbus was the one to pick it up because honestly, whether you liked his versions of the films or not, the film series really wouldn't have gotten off the ground and survived for the next ten years if he and Heyman had not been involved. Their choices really kept the series going in the long run. Congrats to HP and Chris! :)

Congrats Chris! I'm glad he's the one who picked it up since he started off the whole movie series to begin with. :)

Yay, to Chris Columbus! I am so glad that he has been finally recognized for his involvement. I am glad that AFI is thanking the HP by honoring its American Chris Columbus!
