Chris Columbus might seem an odd choice to direct the forthcoming "Harry Potter" movie, but a glance through his CV tells a different story.
If the 43-year-old director's past form is anything to go by, "Harry Potter" should appeal to all age ranges, without condescending to or patronising younger audiences.
Let's just hope Columbus recaptures his late 80s/early 90s hot streak in time for this hotly anticipated adaptation.

 Chris Columbus - Overview - MSN Movies
September 10, 1958 in Spangler, PA Biography:Screenwriter/Director "Chris Columbus" sold his first movie script for "Jocks" while still a film student at New York University; although heavily rewritten by others for the screen, this piece got Columbus' foot in the big-time door.
His breakthrough script for producer "Steven Spielberg" was for "Gremlins", and was allegedly inspired by its writer's dreams of mice at his fingers.
The success of "Gremlins" secured Columbus future writing assignments on such Spielberg projects as "Young Sherlock Holmes" and The Goonies (both 1985).

In addition to the acquisition, Fox Atomic has set up the project with Chris Columbus and Michael Barnathan to produce through their 1492 Pictures.
While Columbus has not signed on to helm the pic, the subject seems like a good fit for the family-friendly director and, if the script is good enough, I'd expect him to take the reigns.
But Columbus, even though I'll have to give him points for making ADVENTURES IN BABYSITTING, is wrong for the film.

Bicentennial Man was stung at the 1999 box office, due no doubt in part to poor timing during a backlash against Robin Williams and his treacly performances in two other, then-recent releases, Jakob the Liar and Patch Adams.
As adapted by screenwriter Nicholas Kazan, the movie's scale is novelistic, though Columbus isn't the man to embrace with Spielbergian confidence its sweeping possibilities.
Unfortunately, I was disappointed in Christopher Columbus' direction, and the screenplay was simply not adequate.

 Chris Columbus at Hollywood.com
Columbus directed his own screenplay for "Heartbreak Hotel" (1988), a whimsical romp set in 1972 about an Ohio teen who kidnaps Elvis Presley to cheer up his divorced Mom (Tuesday Weld).
Returning to his roots as an animation maven, Columbus contributed to the script of the Japanese feature "Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland" (1990; released in the USA in 1992), inspired by Windsor McCay's celebrated comic strip from the early 1900s.
Having had the near impossible task of crafting a film that honored its source material, Columbus more than succeeded (although some critics carped because he did not put his imprint on the material, feeling a stronger directorial hand was required).

 All-Reviews.com Movie/Video Review: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
Once again directed by Chris Columbus, "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" is bigger, faster, funnier, and darker.
The adult performers are mostly wasted, but fulfill the requirements of their roles with sophistication, particularly the late and great Richard Harris (2002's "The Count of Monte Cristo"), as Albus Dumbledore, and Maggie Smith (2002's "Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood"), as the stern but caring Minerva McGonagall.
There are aspects of "Chamber of Secrets" that director Chris Columbus has certainly improved upon since "Sorcerer's Stone," although it also may be due to Rowling's source material.
