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.
