Happy Birthday Mike Newell!
Mike Newell, director of the fourth Harry Potter Film Goblet of Fire, turns 63 today. Born in Hertfordshire, England (also the birthplace of Rupert Grint), Mr. Newell has the distinction of being the first British director for the Harry Potter series.
The New York Times has called him "a film director of sure hand and considerable range". Newell attributes his talent for juggling numerous genres and subject matters to his diverse assignments and early experiences in British television.
Have a great day Mr. Newell!
