Storm In A Teacup
10.14.20 | I don't know if I can rank Harry Potter movies. Every single one is a 5/5 but also is disappointing because I want more from the books. Would have been insane if every movie ended up being 4 hours long. |

10.15.20 | Neek i love you but this ranking is a war crime |
Lucman
10.15.20 | Been a looonng time since I watched these, but I think my rating would be 2 > 5 > 1 > 4 > 7 > 3 > 8 > 6 or something like that. I remember Half-Blood bored me to tears and Goblet and Order being really inconsistent. Azkaban was the best for me, the first two are childhood classics, and Part. 2 ended things well. |
unclereich
10.15.20 | love the list for me 2 is 1 and 5 would be higher, but other than I agree with your reasoning. these movies were so fun, sometimes I miss being young |

10.15.20 | Every movie Yates has done since Half-Blood Prince has been blander and shittier-looking than the last. I shudder to think what the next Fantastic Beasts movie will be like, or rather I would if I had any intention of seeing it |

10.15.20 | GOF always felt kinda off to me. Its tone is really weird.
I've got mad nostalgia for Secrets and some of its most intense scenes make me feel like a little kid again so that'd probably be my favourite, but I think Prisoner is probably the best movie. |
Storm In A Teacup
10.15.20 | at a minimum this list makes me want to watch all of the films again so i can have a deep discussion about them. at a max it makes me feel like i need to buy all of the books again so i can read them. will return when it isn't 2 am and i'm 3 pints in m/ |

Trifolium
10.15.20 | As a mega huge fan of the books I really can't forgive them the changes they made for movie 7.2 to the final confrontation between Harry and Voldy. Atrocious and infinitely underwhelming and bad. The worst offender in the movie series behind DIDYAPITYAHNAAAHMINTHEGIBLKEEGGXFFFFFIIRREEEE????!!!???????!????
And I totally love and adore the changes they've made to part 5, the longest book, half of it in all caps because Harry is such a whiny asshole who fights with his friends all the time became the shortest movie with great use of montage and amazing casting. 3-5-6 are in my top three of movies, with 4, 7.1, 7.2 and 2 in the lowest four. |
Kompys2000
10.15.20 | Oh yeah major fuckin props to the writers of OotP for wrangling what is by far the worst book in the series into something actually watchable. |
wildinferno2010
10.15.20 | I never minded whiny bitch book Harry, but I guess it would have been kinda annoying if they had him like that in the film too
@Trif Other than that, I agree with basically all of this |
Trifolium
10.15.20 | Exactly! Kompys and inferno know!!! That book is almost nothing but gloomy, anxious, angsty thoughts and fights between friends. |
Trifolium
10.15.20 | And don't you just hate how they moved the final confrontation between H and V in 7.2 from the big hall, with everyone seeing and hearing and finally understanding that Harry didn't lie for 7 books on end, that he humiliates V before all these eyes before the end; and changed it to some annoying cat and mouse fight where no-one sees, no-one hears what actually happens. All of the redemption and final sense of justice; after years of slander in the newspapers, slander from the ministry, from teachers, fellow pupils etc; all of this out of the window because we need whips made of Voldy's dress and flying and screaming and stuff like that.
They really ripped everything that was important from that insanely cathartic and satisfying moment and threw it out of the window in the movies. A total failure. |
Trifolium
10.15.20 | Also his body just dissolves into these flakes that were only added for the 3D-ness of things, flying everywhere and making no sense. It makes so much more sense story-wise, symbolically, to just have him have an actual dead body, lying there, for all to see, super final and super real, shows he's utterly defeated and no more than your average person, hated that change too. |

Scheumke
10.15.20 | Been watching them once a year every year since the last one came out. Never rated them though. If I go off of personal enjoyment it would probably be:
- Hallows 2 (Love the way they tied it all off with emotional payoff for 8 movies)
- Sorcerer's Stone (Yes I love the bookends, this one purely for the atmosphere and fantastic nostalgia. Starting them up again and hearing the music makes me all warm and fuzzy)
- Order of the Phoenix (I still want to kill Umbridge and the battle between Voldemort and Dumbledore is probably still my favorite of the series)
- Hallows 1 (Love the slower pace and more realistic approach but it is a bit formless. Dobby's death...)
- Prisoner of Askaban (They shook things up in a great way with all the characters maturing. The stakes feel lower though, but the darker tone works really well).
- Goblet of Fire (objectively this movie is a complete mess and not a very good adaptation from the book, but the subject material was good enough (4 is probably my favorite book of the series) to make me enjoy it more than some of the others.)
- Half Blood Prince (This is the one where I hated pretty much every change they made from the book. I wanted more Voldemort background with Dumbledore and to this day I still don't understand why they created an extra action scene but completely removed the battle inside Hogwards, which was the first time we really felt the weight of the realisation that Hogwards wasn't the safe bastion anymore).
- Chamber of Secrets (on it's own I guess it's a straight up better version of 1, but the first film had so much more wonder and the second felt like more of the same before they completely started switching things up for 3.) |
wildinferno2010
10.15.20 | tbh I don't even remember Voldy's death scene from the movies, and my last rewatch was just earlier this year |
Trifolium
10.15.20 | Exactly inferno, that is problematic isn't it? That's why I really don't agree with "Love the way they tied it all off with emotional payoff for 8 movies" Scheumke, they totally messed that part up for me for the reasons given above. |
Kompys2000
10.15.20 | Watching Hallows 1 in theaters is the most cheated I've ever felt walking out of a movie, I've never watched a "part 1" film on release since then. Give me the whole movie you fucking cowards. |

asanisimasa
10.15.20 | I love the first 4 movies, but the second half of the series tried to hard to be mature and ended up feeling kinda fake. also i feel like the movies dont make much sense without reading the books, or at least the important themes wont make sense because they disappear and reappear throughout the films. they choose which book scenes to include based on which will be visually memorable and exhilerating not the ones that develop the important themes and character arcs |
Scheumke
10.15.20 | Yeah Trif, I agree with you especially when compared to the books, but I think there are so many moments in the final battle that I absolutely love as payoff moments for characters (Snape's death, Neville stepping up to Voldemort and killing Nagini, McGonagall on the bridge, Molly and Bellatrix). There is enough for me there to love that I can kinda forgive the movie's lackluster 'real' climax. The entire movie was one adrenaline ride when I first saw it. |
wildinferno2010
10.15.20 | @Trif definitely a problem. 8 movies of build-up and they squandered it.
"hearing the music makes me all warm and fuzzy"
That John Williams score man |
Sinternet
10.15.20 | i mean fuck rowling but azkaban is by far the best film of the series. if they had got order of the phoenix right it probably would have been the best one but yeah they cut so much.
oh well fuck terfs |
Scheumke
10.15.20 | I am still really more bothered by the climax of HBP and the fact they removed the fights inside Hogwards. The way they shot it now feels like the deatheaters sneak in, kill Dumbledore and kinda half sneak/run out. It removes so much of the agency and competence of both the deatheaters and the teachers and feels super unsatisfying to me. |
neekafat
10.15.20 | @Trif those are really good points on 8! It's not a perfect movie so I actually agree with a lot of what you say, but it's not enough for me to not love it (:
@asa I agree with that about the themes flipping around, they very clearly were not planning the overall storyline of the franchise while writing the individual films |
fogza
10.15.20 | I can't understand the love for Prisoner, with its janky time travel nonsense, Hermione being sort of reduced to a gag for half the movie, and the "you're a shapeshifter, no you're a shapeshifter, no you're a shapeshifter" ending. Just weird. |
wildinferno2010
10.15.20 | "also i feel like the movies dont make much sense without reading the books"
This is so true. I can't think of any off the top of my head but there are so many little plot points that anyone going in blind would probably have been confused af by |

10.15.20 | I've seen all of these except for the 2 hallows literal dozens of times so they're pretty starkly delineated in my mind lol. I guess I could see how they would all blur together though, especially from 3 onwards |
Storm In A Teacup
10.15.20 | It shouldn't be like that though kompy. 4 was so different from all of the others. Goblet of Fire in the books or movies was a defining moment in ways that 1 through 3 were not. In the books much more so because the emphasis on volemort being back and harry and others believing it at the end in the face of so much diversity set such a grand stage for the books to follow. and then leading off of 4 should have been that whole new world, different from 1-3 and different still from 4, but the movies made it blend too much together, even though the movies themselves were so different still. |

Because it's the best book. The movie is very meh. |
Trifolium
10.15.20 | I think many of the movies are very successful in conveying that same sense of mystery and magic and that christmassy feeling that the books have in spades. They're certainly different and that are some bad choices (Tonks, Mundungus, the aforementioned Voldemort standoff) but I think the movies are a big success in general. |

Prisoner of Azkaban is overwhelmingly the most beloved book in the series. |
Trifolium
10.15.20 | Yeah it's an amazing book AND an amazing movie! How big are the chances!!! |
0xME
10.15.20 | Deathly Hallows Pt 1 is a 2/5 at the most and the Prisoner of Azkaban is straight garbage |
Trifolium
10.15.20 | ''Prisoner of Azkaban is straight garbage''
How is that even the case!? |
0xME
10.15.20 | I'm strictly talking about the movie of course, but moving Hagrid's hut, them not wearing their school uniform, Lupin's werewolf form (which was supposed to be more like a huge wolf and not a giant wet embryo) and so on, the director clearly hat never read the book or didn't care about it |
Trifolium
10.15.20 | Hmmm, I guess you could dislike these things, yes. It's also one of the most visually strong in the whole series, cinematography it is totally incredible, has one of the best soundtracks of the lot, the story is impeccably told, etc. etc.
These are all opinions of course! |
Trifolium
10.15.20 | Plus, and this is one HUGE plus, those incredible depictions of magical life in the background, littering the screen EVERYWHERE, the guy stirring his coffee, the cleaner lady, oh my god they're so super nicely done and make the universe come alive like never before. And they're not even needed, script wise, it just shows how much the team was really invested in creating the movie. The love for the project is oozing from the screen on that one. |
ReturnToRock
10.15.20 | I agree with you in the main, although I still feel the first movie is the weakest. They cut out SO MUCH stuff from the books, it's laughable. And yes, it's just minor stuff for the most part, but when it's removed, it's noticeable. THAT's why the film feels choppy - because it IS. It's literally just scenes stuck together, because the little seemingly unimportant details that linked them together have been excised. I used to think I hated it because I watched it within a week or so of LOTR: FOTR (which BLEW MY MIND at the time) but re-watching it out of context nearly 20 years later, all the issues were still there.
On the flipside, Deathly Hallows, my most hated book, becomes two of the best films, due to the LOTR: ROTK principle of 'watching battles unfold is better than reading about them unfolding.' All the stuff that made the book ridiculous is still ridiculous here, unfortunately (that literal Deus Ex Machina with Dumbledore in the Underground station never gets any less cringey) but what they've taken out this time helps make the plot more streamlined. Also, Neville is even MORE awesome in the film than the book, which is a feat in and of itself.
Anyway, enough waffling, here's my ranking:
8. Philosopher's (Sorcerer's) Stone
7. Half-Blood Prince (Emo Draco ruins it for me - THAT's not how he acts in the book, either)
6. Deathly Hallows P1
5. Chamber of Secrets (yes, it's VASTLY better than the first one)
4. Deathly Hallows P2
3. Prisoner of Azkaban
2. Order of Phoenix (I STRONGLY disagree with you on this one)
1. Goblet of Fire (yes, it's the fluffiest and most lightweight of them all, but it's also the funniest, and one of the few where the pacing isn't off, either unto itself or as compared to the book - the other being Azkaban) |

ReturnToRock
10.15.20 | I just like those movies. They have the best blend of lightweight kid's stuff with real stakes, and are the most faithful to the book (along with Azkaban which everyone in the Universe agrees is a great film).
Also Tilda Swindon in Order. |
Faraudo
10.15.20 | Order is the worst one by a long margin, followed by the HORNIEST of HP films. The rest go from pretty great to classics. |
JohnnyoftheWell
10.15.20 | yeah lol, i cannot even try to compute that. neek's ranking is actually pretty solid even though he overrates all the movies - Azkaban is tops, but given his dumb bias for dumb action bullshit, i'll taken #2
realtalk though, each of the books is better than the one before up until Order of the Phoenix because JK developed her craft as an author and continuously grew her traction/centre of gravity through compound interest over her steady layers of convincing world-building (apart from the time-turners, which we don't talk about). last two aren't exactly big steps down, but they had to engage more directly with tying up the plot just enough that they couldn't hold onto the same level of wonder and imagination that ig is ultimately what made this franchise so worthwhile |
JohnnyoftheWell
10.15.20 | plz do twilight next neek |
Faraudo
10.15.20 | Well, Neek's rating has Deathly Hallows 1 at #3 and that's good enough for me. Can't expect everyone to think of it as the best HP film, it would be pretty cool, though. |

10.15.20 | "THAT's why the film feels choppy - because it IS. It's literally just scenes stuck together, because the little seemingly unimportant details that linked them together have been excised."
Yeah. If you watch the behind the scenes docos they explain this as partially done out of necessity because it was so hard to get consistent takes out of the child actors. They had to kind of splice everything together based on what they had, and because of this they had to cut/adapt thing based on what they were able to get out of them. |
neekafat
10.15.20 | Had a lot of fun reading all these takes, glad you guys liked the list and seemed to not hate my ranking (:
Johnny was def right about my bias for dumb action but I tried to make my reasoning for all of them very clear.
@Farudo, DH1 is just incredible and might've been better for me if they were able to work out a more traditional climax to bring a clearer emotional arc to it, just so that it could stand on its own legs a bit more.

neekafat
10.16.20 | I mean it's literally the first one since azkaban to treat the trio as actual people and not just plot devices to move things along, so I think that lens really makes the drama and stakes land better than the previous too |

"DH1 is just incredible and might've been better for me if they were able to work out a more traditional climax to bring a clearer emotional arc to it, just so that it could stand on its own legs a bit more."
Yeah, I can see where you're coming from. I just love it from top to bottom for being so offbeat, dark and bleak. It's by far the most adult HP film.
|
ChoccyPhilly
10.16.20 | I think DH1 gets a lot of hate because it was the first movie to split a book into two movies, which understandably was met with a tonne of backlash. I do think it made complete sense artistically though and the slow parts added to the hopelessness and also gave enough room for DH2 to have all the important moments it needed |
fogza
10.16.20 | DH1 is a really strange movie in a big movie franchise, and I sort of can't believe it got made. But I'm glad it did - I don't want to detract from most of the other movies, I'm glad they are what they are. It's just really great to get something so unexpected that capitalizes on all the setup in a totally different way. |
Scheumke
10.16.20 | "I think DH1 gets a lot of hate because it was the first movie to split a book into two movies, which understandably was met with a tonne of backlash." I still think it was the only one of that wave of 'split the final book into multiple movies' that actually managed to pull it off and where it was warranted. |

12.01.20 | I don't get the hate Goblet of Fire gets at all, the pace is extraordinary, Gleeson and Radcliffe are fantastic, amazing action |

09.06.21 | It's a good movie yeah, but its def weaker than most |
JohnnyoftheWell
09.06.21 | the pace is silly and doesn't give any of the suddenly incredibly many wayward plot or character dev points in the book the depth they need to land
still better than OOTP but mneh |

09.06.21 | my ranking is definitive, agreed |

09.06.21 | All of the teen drama shit in goblet was awkward af when watching that with my parents as a kid.
Also the pacing is silly |

09.07.21 | they butchered tf out of HBP imo. It was all over the place — and I don’t think they pulled of the “hazy memory / dream” coloration off at all. Every frame looks muddy |

09.07.21 | Agree with most of this tbh, always felt GOF, OOTP to HBP were the weakest three films. |

09.07.21 | v. astute observation vis-a-vis the first Deathly Hallows
seeing the 2nd one at the premiere is a life highlight.
TOotP was my favourite of the series as a kid, haven't read them in ages, so i was doubly disappointed by the atrocious film. rude. |
