Harry Potter Films Ranked! (w/ Fantastic Beasts The Secrets of Dumbledore)

[@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

[@stormleader2215]

@@SeanChandlerTalksAbout your ranking is so generic

[@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]

[@Tra5h_boat6368]

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

[@5xmasterx548]

@@Tra5h_boat6368 ah yes, it’s hard for me to separate the books and movies since I read all the books first. Yes, I agree these were the worst adapted, I’m guessing the point of half blood was to develop the relationship between dumbeldore and Harry because they were together soooo much in the book, but only a couple times in the movie? Also I rank Half blood low regardless because the I got the ending spoiled which messed up my reading experience. Goblet on the other hand is my second favourite book because I find it extremely fun to read and the ending is superb

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.

[@caitlindn]

Here's my ranking, I only watched the movies: 11. Crimes of Grindelwald - idk what I just watched 10. Secrets of Dumbledore - not that many secrets/backstory of Dumbledore revealed, were there? I was wondering where it all was going the entire movie! 9. Halfblood Prince - literally no set-up/backstory for Voldemort, why did he choose those horcruxes, what did he do to make them? + so many other questions about him+ the romance sucked 8. Deadly Hallows 1 - I didn't understand what was going on, what were the horcruxes for? And the deadly hallows? What did Dumbledore know? So many questions. 7. Fantastic Beasts - enjoyable movie 6. Goblet of Fire - cool to see that there are other wizarding schools, but what was the purpose of this story? 5. Chamber of Secrets - very clever with the foreshadowing. Interesting to learn more about Voldemort/Tom Riddle in flashbacks. 4. Deadly Hallows 2 - Pretty epic finale, but the pay-off didn't land as well as it could've because of the bad set-up for the final battle. 3. Philosopher's stone - Magical introduction into this world. 2. Order of the Phoenix - You love to hate Umbridge. Dumbledore's army comes together + clear storyline. 1. Prisoner of Azkaban - Harry finally gets family + time travel. All-time favourite

Azkaban is legitimately incredible. There's not a single scene I could point out where I was bored.

Really that's a movie I fall asleep on. Maybe it's because I hate Surius Black that's why I get bored in the order of the Phoenix too. I think they are the worst movie

[@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.

Whenever I go back to Harry Potter, I just watch the movies, but I know that the books are better. And trust me, fans of the books who do like the movies sometimes feel cheated, especially with Half Blood Prince and Goblet of Fire. They're still fine films, but when you know how the books played out, it gives you that feeling it's not perfect and one to one. However, they're just movies, that's all. Also my ranking goes as follows, minus Secrets of Dumbledore cause I haven't seen it yet: 1. Order of the Phoenix 2. Goblet of Fire 3. Chamber of Secrets 4. Deathly Hallows Part 2 5.
