Ranking the Harry Potter films

Author
Time

I know, ANOTHER ONE?! But, seeing as that Fantastic Beasts is coming out later this year, I figured it was as good a time as any to rank these films.

  1. Prisoner of Azkaban ★★★★★
  2. Deathly Hallows Part 2 ★★★★☆
  3. Chamber of Secrets ★★★★☆
  4. Philosopher’s Stone ★★★★☆
  5. Goblet of Fire ★★★☆☆
  6. Half Blood Prince ★★★☆☆
  7. Order of the Phoenix ★★☆☆☆
  8. Deathly Hallows Part 1 ★★☆☆☆

Not enough people read the EU.

I doubt I could rank them. The only two I think are less excellent than the others are Sorcerer’s Stone and Goblet of Fire. All of the others are stellar in my opinion; not to say those two are not good, but the first is a bit too kidish, and the fourth is almost too weird and odd. The Potter movies were able to make films about magic without making it too hard for general audiences to understand, but Goblet of Fire was a bit too much for me, specifically when he turned into a fish.

I would give every book a 5/5, except for perhaps the first, which would get a 4/5

FILMS! I mean, come on, who cares about the source material?

Army of Darkness: The Medieval Deadit | The Terminator - Color Regrade | The Wrong Trousers - Audio Preservation
SONIC RACES THROUGH THE GREEN FIELDS.
THE SUN RACES THROUGH A BLUE SKY FILLED WITH WHITE CLOUDS.
THE WAYS OF HIS HEART ARE MUCH LIKE THE SUN. SONIC RUNS AND RESTS; THE SUN RISES AND SETS.
DON’T GIVE UP ON THE SUN. DON’T MAKE THE SUN LAUGH AT YOU.

The Prisoner of Azkaban ★★★★★
Amazing plotline, great special effects and greatly developed characters.

The Philosopher’s Stone ★★★★★
Same as Azkaban, but less fun in places.

The Chamber of Secrets ★★★★★
It’s got flaws, but still a great movie

The Deathly Hallows Pt. 2 ★★★★★
Kick-ass finale

The Goblet of Fire ★★★★
This is the point where the books (and obviously the films) started marketing towards tweens, and it shows, but it still retains some elements that make the the first 3 films so amazing.

The Half-Blood Prince ★★★
The third act is the only important part of the movie. What a waste of resources.

The Deathly Hallows Pt. 1 ★★★
Bored to death.

The Order of the Phoenix ★★
The Twilight Saga: The Order of the Phoenix

Well I am not going to start a separate thread for the books.

Then maybe you should wait until someone else does. This is a film thread.
