I’m currently doing my Fantastic Beasts/Harry Potter Movie Marathon. This is the first time I’ve done this marathon with Secrets of Dumbledore. Here’s how I rank them. 11. Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes if Grindelwald 10. Harry Potter And The Order of the Phoenix 9. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them 8. Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore 7. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets 6. Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince 5. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 4. Harry Potter and The Sorcerors Stone 3.

Sad news as well hearing that Robbie Coltrane passed away, he will be forever remembered as Hagrid.

[@sportstalk3398]

Love the video, My favorite is Prisoner of Azkaban and Half blood prince is 2nd. I feel like the lack of Voldermort was because we knew he was behind the scene pulling the strings. He was the reason why Snape kills dumbledore. We see a nice character arch for Draco. We get to see new things about Snape, and the idea of Harry and Dumbledore hunting the horcrux was one of my favorite sub plots in any movie

[@youngstar312]

I read the Books for the first time in 2020 and then after finishing Book 7, I watched all 8 movies. Maybe doing it so close together, but I was overall not a huge fan of the later movies. The third one is probably my favorite, but since I was very focused on the movies as adaptions I was not that into the movies as a whole. Some of the scenes are amazing, but they are missing to much for me.

[@amu7379]

The movies progressively get worse for us book fans, I guess partially because it's harder to adapt a longer book. Although for me I didn't like the third one as well.

[@youngstar312]

Order of the Phoenix is my favorite

[@Bradley_Stein]

I appreciate how each of the 8 original movies fit into different genres/tropes. Sorcerer’s Stone: Origin story Chamber of Secrets: Murder mystery Prisoner of Azkaban: Time travel Goblet of Fire: Underdog sports story Order of the Phoenix: Ragtag rebels fighting oppressive government Half-Blood Prince: Rom-Com Deathly Hallows 1: Road trip Deathly Hallows 2: War

[@mania4270]

Origin story isn't really a genre

[@leokatzzz]

This is a fantastic analysis but Half Blood prince is definitely not a rom-com lol. It has a ¨love relationship¨ aspect to it but the whole plot is much darker in my opinion. I´d say its more of a ¨spy¨ or detective film, maybe even noir. Magical noir if you could say that (? haha

[@mania4270]

@@leokatzzz well it's a rom com because it cuts many dark moments with comedy. Like hagrid finding his dead spider....only for Harry to make a joke about pincers. It's a rom com but also a harry potter movie. All Harry Potter movies have mysteries

@@leokatzzz The book is defo not a rom com but the movie is the worst HP movie imo and it doesnt feel as serious as the book

[@oofiethetroll2059]

Sorta true, but at the core, they are all mystery stories.

[@astelevey]

Prisoner of Azkaban will always be my favourite. Its the most beautifully directed and entertaining of the bunch; a much more relaxing, kickback style of film rather than anything heavy. Which is something the books are like, since they show a lot of, well just school life in hogwarts, and this is the only film that properly replicates that.

[@Jay-Zech]

Same. It’s a great film. There are only two things I dislike about it: The Knight Bus scene, and the end shot of Harry on his broom

[@astelevey]

@@Jay-Zech the bus scene was cool imo. ye the ending was cringe. I think the thing i dislike the most was the little exploration on the marauders (altho the execution in the book by just heavy exposition wasnt great either).

[@carter_lovejoy]

Prisoner of Azkaban has the best visuals out of all the Potter films! The effects for the Dementors still look great after all these years!

[@mannymattina3792]

I can see why and it is impressively made. What holds it back for me are 3 things: 1. I find Alfonso Cuarons direction to be very pretentious (a problem I have with most of his films). 2. I never liked the colorless look and visual changes (continuity errors) from the first two films. The overuse of CGI also always bothered me since the first two made great use of practical effects. 3. The forced comedy (i.e the knight bus scene) and overall adaptation changes from the book that were for the worse in my opinion, such as the shrieking shack sequence. Overall the brilliant filmmaking and parts that arr well adapted from the book make it one of the better films, but I always felt Chamber of Secrets was the best in terms of atmosphere, look, and effects as well as just being closest to the books

[@astelevey]

@@mannymattina3792 CoS is definitely the best adaptation in terms of keeping things the same, I also agree in its quality of atmosphere (a big reason I prefer it over PS). I would argue that the colourless theme to it matches the shift in tone of the series - even tho that would technically start in GoF - I think the idea of soul sucking creatures and the idea of a serial killer chasing down a child makes the atmosphere much more deserved

[@lloydpassafume5357]

Part 1 has my favorite scene in the franchise, that being the dance between Harry and Hermione. Such a beautiful moment of one best friend comforting another and forgetting, just for a moment, that they’re on their own in the middle of a horrible war. It brings a tear to my eye at the end of the scene as you see them walk away without a word as reality sets back in.

[@sadface6635]

I’ve read the books, but I agree! It’s one of my favorite Harry Potter movies! It’s a calm before the storm. I hate part 2 though because of how disrespectful to the source material it is. The book is 1000x better.

[@har5814]

I just wanna say that The Half-Blood Prince has the most beautiful cinematography of them all. My biggest gripe was not saying the reason why Snape called himself the "Half-Blood Prince".

[@akshat-gh]

haven’t seen secrets of dumbledore, hoping to see it soon tho! 10. crimes of grindelwald - not really a surprise, imo the only wizarding world film that’s not great. 9. sorcerer’s stone - i love this movie even if i have it placed this low (every movie from here and above is a 9/10 or higher), i appreciate the world building and i think it nailed the set up for this world, but the actual plot feels like an afterthought. 8. fantastic beasts 1 - it’s prolly sacrilege to put this above SS, but i think it flows just a bit better. def doesn’t capture the magic of the HP films tho. 7. chamber of secrets - def flows better than the first one because it doesn’t need to set up the world, and i love the faithfulness to the book. i just think it’s way too long esp considering that this is the second shortest book. 6. goblet of fire - definitely one of the weaker adaptations in the series, but i really enjoy the core storyline about the tournament. i wish they had integrated more of the mystery that was present in the book. 5. DH part 2 - great payoff for the series, it’s just not as rewatchable as the other films because it’s just payoff and not really any setup. it also feels the least complete of the harry potter films, because, obviously, it’s a part 2. 4. prisoner of azkaban - the “low” placement of this one is probably gonna get me attacked 😬 it’s definitely one of the best HP films technically, but also doesn’t flow that well for me personally. i think this and the top 3 are all 10/10’s tho. 3. DH part 1 - i really appreciate that this film is more character-focused than a lot of the other films. i recognize that other people find it boring but for me i find this film to be tension-filled and exciting. 2. half-blood prince - this is my favorite book in the series, and even if this film is a poor adaptation, i think it still manages to be a great film with the changes that it made. definitely would have appreciated if they put more of voldemort’s backstory, but i like the film we got. 1. order of the phoenix - i think this film succeeds as both an adaptation of the book and as a movie. everything about this movie shines for me, and it’ll take one hell of a fantastic beasts movie to top this one.

My ranking as a lifelong Harry Potter fan 11: Secrets of Dumbledore - I know a lot of people are saying this is the best in the franchise, but I real don’t think so. While it’s more coherent than Crimes of Grindelwald, everything in the film is just so extremely convoluted, and they introduce a lot of new magic that raises a lot of questions for later in the timeline (why does nobody ever use that pocket dimension Dumbledore keeps using in that movie) 10 - Crimes of Grindelwald 9 - Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (I’d like to say that the gap between the first Fantastic Beasts film and the others is to indicate a huge difference in quality. This one was closer to the quality of the original films for me.) From here the ranking gets really difficult cause I find something to absolutely love about all of these. 8 - Chamber of Secrets 7 - Goblet of Fire 6 - Half-Blood Prince 5 - Sorcerer’s Stone 4 - Deathly Hallows: Part 1 3 - Order of the Phoenix 2 - Deathly Hallows: Part 2 1 - Prisoner of Azkaban

1. Half-Blood Prince (Definitely the least accurate to the book but as a film it’s awesome. This is the best looking HP film. I’m in love with the cinematography and as an inspiring filmmaker, I love this film) 2. Deathly Hallows Part 1 (90% accurate to the book and brilliant character focus film) 3. Deathly Hallows Part 2 (not as accurate to the book compare to part 1 but an epic finale to the series) 4. Prisoner of Azkaban 5. Order of the Phoenix 6. Chamber of Secrets (Most accurate to the book) 7. Sorcerer’s Stone 8. Secrets of Dumbledore 9. Crimes of Grindelwald (Overhated and enjoyable) 10. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them 11. Goblet of Fire (Not bad but feels like a chore to watch minus the 3rd act) I love or enjoy all of them. Not one I dislike

If this was a book ranking half blood prince would be number 1

[@jesleegan9807]

@Sean Chandler Talks About As a huge fan of the franchise and the books, they had to split the last movie to two parts, because the book has so much detail, and it's impossible to put a 700 page book into one movie, and the movie would be like 4 or 5 hours long if they did that. I didn't mind the cliffhanger, since I know what happens in the book, so the hype for the final movie was worth the wait. Also, the first half the movie is setting up for the big finale, so it's supposed to have a massive cliffhanger. So, since you haven't read all of the books, I understand your point, but the last movie needed to be in two parts instead of one. Also, the color grading for Half Blood Prince wasn't that bad, the cinematography is really beautiful to look at, and the way it looks in the movie, it was kind of described in the book.

[@rodrigolambert2801]

In general I agree with your ranking, the only thing I would point out is that Johnny Depp´s Grindelwald seems less credible that he had a relationship with Dumbledore due to the big problems that come from the script. I believe that if you put Mads´ version in the last movie, he would have the same problem and if you put Johnny´s version in the new one I´m pretty sure that his version would´ve of been more credible to that past relationship with Dumbledore. This movie made more credible that relationship but because it went more into depth in it and explained more, compared to the last movie were it was only left to interpretation.

Sorcerer's stone(A great intro into the world of harry potter, every scene in this movie is legend) 9/10 3. Order of the Phoenix(The way they cutted down the book was really good, the dead of sirius was a bit underwhelming) 10/10 2. Deathly Hallows part 2(A great final of this entire series, my favourite scene with the memories of snape) 10/10 1.
