If you haven't been living under a rock for like the past 20 years then you know how big of a phenomena the Harry Potter movie series was. I will most definitely be obsessed with both the movies and the books for the rest of my life. So here is my ranking of the 8 Harry Potter movies.

8. Prisoner of Azkaban

I love every single Harry Potter film, but one of them has to be my least favorite.The absence of Voldemort and any epic magic dueling scenes puts this film at the bottom of the list for me. The introduction of Sirius Black and explanation of his back story still makes this a great movie.

7. Sorcerer's Stone

The only true fault of this movie is that it was the first of the series and we just didn't know all that much about the Wizarding world. Also the Quidditch scenes are lacking just a little but we can only blame that on the movie being made in 2001. It's a great 1st movie, though, that made millions fall in love with Harry and the gang.

6. Chamber of Secrets

We learn so much about the world of magic in this movie. There's so much suspense and mystery throughout the entire film. Between Harry's parsel tongue ability that links him to Salazar Slytherin and Hagrid's connection to the same events 50 years ago it's hard to tell who can be trusted.

5 & 4. Deathly Hollows: Part 1 & Deathly Hollows: Part 2

The final book of the series is told through two movies so I can't really describe why I love them separately. These movies would be my top picks if it wasn't for the facts that Harry Potter coming to an end and the death of so many amazing characters breaks my heart every time I watch the movies. Both movies are fast paced and incredible, but also too heartbreaking.

3. Half Blood Prince

Harry trying to adjust to life after losing the only chance he ever had at a true family is truly hard to watch, but its real life and honest. This film shows Harry dealing with normal issues such as grief and moving on. Also, learning about Voldemort's past and his creation of horcruxes was to me one of the biggest plot reveals of the series.

2. Order of the Phoenix

The creation of Dumbledore's Army to fight back against who is arguably the worst villain of the whole franchise, Professor Umbridge, is exciting and wonderful. The death of Sirius Black is gut wrenching, but the action scenes at the Ministry of Magic are some of the best in the series.

1. Goblet of Fire

Between the 2 other Wizarding schools, the challenges of the Triwizard Tournament, and the return of Voldemort that is the basis of the storyline for the next 4 movies this film literally has everything I could ask for. It also doesn't hurt that with all of the action only one supporting character dies.

Ranking these movies was much harder than I thought it would be simply because I love this entire series so much. I know every person who has seen the films has different opinions about each one, but this is my ranking of every Harry Potter film.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
