David Heyman produced all 8 series.

Season 1 (2001-02)
Chris Columbus was appointed Head Director for the series.

Season 2 (2002-03)
An extra episode directed by Alfonso Cuarón was added to the end of the season, previously cut from the series. The episode aired 8 months after the season finale and was added to the special edition boxset.

Season 3 (2004)
Alfonso Cuarón took over as Head Director for this series, the episode count grew to 22. This was the only season to air in the summer. Originally the third season was suppose to start airing in November 2003 but some episodes were unfinished so Warner Bros. released one extra episode for Season 2 instead and waited until Spring 2004 to start airing Season 3.

Season 4
Mike Newell took over as Head Director for this season. It was David Heyman who decided to split the fourth season up into two parts due to the length of the book, one half airing in autumn 2005, and the other half airing in autumn 2006, the whole season commences in spring of 2007.

Part 1 (2005-06)
J.K. Rowling wrote every episode screenplay this half-season, apart from 2 episodes. This season contains the first episode written by #|Michael Goldenburg.

Season 5 (2007-08)
It was considered by the producers to split Season 5 up into two parts like Season 4, but decided to produce all 38 episodes in a row. Michael Goldenburg, who previously had only written one episode, became a regular writer in this season. David Yates became the Head Writer for the series.

Season 6 (2009-10)
Because Season 5 was so long, production and broadcast for Season 6 didn't happen until 2009. The negative critical response Season 5 received from critics was blamed on Michael Goldenburg, his role as writer in the sixth season was significantly less then previously.

Season 7
It was decided that Season 7 would be split into two parts, each half consisting of 18 episodes.
