All 8 Harry Potter Movies Ranked From Best To Worst

Harry Potter charmed our screens for ten years earlier than departing on Platform 9¾.. ‘Harry Potter Mania’ gripped the world by storm, and when it ended, we have been left feeling as Harry, Ron, and Hermione did on the finish of Deathly Hallows – uncertain what to do with ourselves! The Harry Potter movies have been allowed to develop and mature identical to the novels did, with 4 completely different administrators bringing a variety of flavours to the series from movie to movie with out compromising character, plot, or continuity. It’s an important achievement made all of the extra astounding by the truth that there isn’t a single horrible movie amongst them. Because the franchise stays as widespread at this time because it was a decade in the past, and with Harry Potter twentieth Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts developing quickly, it looks like time as any to revisit the Harry Potter movies and rank them from finest to worst—a considerably troublesome job given the excessive customary of high quality all through.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

Each movie franchise has its “definitive” instalment, and within the case of Harry Potter, I consider it's Prisoner of Azkaban, a movie that completely encapsulates the essence of every thing Hogwarts and the Wizarding World. And the truth that it spends simply as a lot time exterior the varsity, in locations like Hogsmeade and on the Knight Bus, provides to the movie’s great sweep. The storyline, although, is its strongest aspect, there’s an escaped killer on the run, evil Dementors on the hunt, a thriller werewolf on faculty grounds, and even a little bit of time journey alongside the best way! Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is pure magic, on the danger of sounding cliche.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Half 2

Followers are usually fairly involved earlier than the ultimate instalment of a big franchise, as a result of there’s all the time the prospect of feeling sad afterward, whether or not as a result of unfastened ends are left untied or just because the movie is unhealthy. Deathly Hallows Half 2 is, nonetheless, every thing we may have dreamed for and extra. Deathly Hallows – Half 1 was virtually completely arrange, whereas Deathly Hallows – Half 2 takes off from the primary body and by no means lets up. It is a payoff movie in each sense: emotional payoff, motion payout, and relationship payoff. We additionally witnessed the deaths of cherished figures in battle. Hermione and Ron exchanged kisses. Oh, and previous Voldie ultimately handed away. The motion and visible results have been unrivalled, as all of our favorite witches and wizards fought in a single spot. The phrase epic is an understatement.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

Among the series’ humorous moments may be attributed to The Half-Blood Prince. Ginny and Harry expertise their first kiss, Ron and Hermione get so petty that they refuse to precise their emotions for each other, and Harry drinks liquid luck. It’s a breath of contemporary air earlier than we get to the meat of the matter. The plot builds to Dumbledore’s demise and Snape’s “betrayal” with out the climax feeling abrupt, and Yates and screenwriter Steve Kloves seamlessly weave in Voldemort’s backstory and the introduction of the horcruxes. This nice stability is what makes Half-Blood Prince one of many series’ most shifting flicks, bouncing from laughter to tears on the drop of a hat.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

Order of the Phoenix is clearly a special image from the beginning, because the film opens within the warmth of July, in a brand new setting, with a layered confrontation between Harry and Dudley. The following look of the Order demonstrates that Harry is A) not alone in his quest; and B) severely missing in details about what’s really occurring. And the return of Sirius Black (Gary Oldman) heightens the emotional influence of the image and deepens Harry’s arc, whereas the movie additionally accommodates among the finest Harry-Snape scenes within the franchise.

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone

Whereas it will not be as spectacular, polished, or putting as the opposite movies within the franchise, Sorcerer’s Stone (or Thinker’s Stone for Potter fans) deserves numerous respect for establishing the series so properly and constructing an excellent basis on which the following movies may very well be constructed. Nevertheless, I have to admit that it’s the nostalgia that propels this movie to the top of the pack, introducing us to the unique solid we’d witness develop up on the large display screen over the following decade. In an effort to impress followers with book-to-film options, we have been handled to components that will change into uncommon in subsequent movies within the franchise: shifting stair instances, speaking footage, and Practically Headless Nick. The Sorcerer’s Stone can also be chargeable for Hermione’s most well-known line: “It’s leviOsa, not levioSAH!” Lastly, it established the bar for all that was to come back, establishing that the Harry Potter movies can be not like something we’d ever seen earlier than.

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets and techniques

If we have been to decide on two movies from the Harry Potter series to check, it will be Sorcerer’s Stone and Chamber of Secrets and techniques. Because of this, it’s honest to say they’re the Harry Potter series’ ‘Fred and George!’ The sequel to the primary movie, Chamber of Secrets and techniques, is a strong follow-up, however Harry’s second 12 months at Hogwarts isn’t a lot simpler. Whereas it's ranked decrease than Sorcerer’s Stone, its third act is considerably extra fascinating and creepier. What extra may you want than big spiders and large snakes?

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Half 1

The primary goal of Deathly Hallows: Half 1 because the series’ last film was to construct up the grand climax of the largest cinematic franchise in historical past. And, beneath such duress, it did the perfect it may, depicting Harry, Ron, and Hermione embarking on a quest exterior of Hogwarts that would actually save the world. Because of this, virtually each scene was affected by painful dread, as a result of we knew the top was close to—and we weren’t positive we have been ready for it. Ramione aficionados have been happy, and it was refreshing to see the Golden Trio mature into adults in the true world. As well as, the backdrop was gorgeous, and the thriller of the Horcruxes is a crucial plot level. Except for that and the primary hour’s motion, this one fell flat.

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Hearth

The truth that Goblet of Hearth is ranked eighth doesn't indicate that it's a unhealthy Harry Potter movie; fairly, it's the most tiresome of the lot! Love triangles, squabbles, and the an identical haircuts throughout – yup, the gorgeous little witches and wizards from the primary three movies have consumed Polyjuice potion and advanced into teenagers! Luckily, amongst all the highschool drama, there are some memorable scenes, starting from a battle with a dragon to a spine-chilling third act in a graveyard.
