I know for movies like george of the jungle 2, and stuff like that aren't successful at all because the story isn't very good. Plus, a huge downfall of sequals is if they get new actors to play the same characters. But for the Harry Potter series, they already have the stories, plus the actors know how to work with each other better as the series goes on.

Exhibit A: Shrek. The first movie was amaing. They found a way to entertain kids while slipping in jokes for an older audience. The whole double entendre was genius and created an amazing movie. Then they tried to live up to everyones expetations. They tried too hard, we expected too much and everyone was disappointed. Exhibit B: The Pirates of the Caribbean. Love the first movie, the rest seem to drag on. I'm all for any movie that feautures Orlando Bloom for an hour and a half, but c'mon! They clearly have the ability to make the pirates movies interesting, so do it! Sequels never live up to my expectations and I always leave the theater looking for more, or my money back!
