The Harry Potter Book Series Ranked From Not so best to best

In This Article:

If anyone knows me well, they know that I am a HUGE Harry Potter nerd. I've read each book multiple times, watched every movie as soon as it came out in theaters, I always stayed glued to the TV during Harry Potter weekend, and I am a proud Slytherin myself!

While I love rereading all the books, I have my favorites so here is my rank of the book series.

7. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

"I must not tell lies" so here it is: this book is mediocre.

So what was this book about again? In all seriousness, this book is like 53234 pages long - my book binding actually broke. And we're just supposed to pretend like Harry is not Cho Chang's rebound?

6. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

I can't do a book where there's not enough Hogwarts. And too many deaths. I will never forgive J.K. Rowling for killing Fred Weasley. Like, come on, just take Percy. Nobody liked him anyway.

5. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

There's nothing wrong with the first book, but I definitely prefer others over it since this is only an introduction of all the magic to come ahead.

4. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

Who will ever forget that badass Hermione punch?

3. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

Just so much excitement and drama from the Triwizard Tournament to the Quidditch World Cup, not to mention our first glimpse at the Ron/Hermione romance. But why did Rowling have to kill Cedric? Like, take Krum instead. Please and thank you.

2. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

Such a wonderful plot line and the introduction of Gilderoy Lockhart, who deserves a book just about himself. I mean, he already wrote a bunch of books about his life...

1. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

I love, love, LOVE this book not only for its plot line, but for the major character development. There were relationships, crushes, jealousy, which are actually relatable to teens. I can go on and on about how much I love this book, especially the Sectumsempra scene. It's a masterpiece that ended in a great suspense, leading us all to hate Snape, one of the most beloved Harry Potter characters.

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

There are plenty of obstacles that come when taking care of kids, but it's a very rewarding experience.

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

There are a lot of really easy, common names in the U.S. and while many of those simple names have different spellings, most of the time, pronunciation is not an issue that those people need to worry about. However, others are not as fortunate and often times give up on corrections after a while. We usually give an A+ for effort. So, as you could probably imagine, there are a few struggles with having a name that isn’t technically English. Here are just a few…

Daydreaming

day·dream (ˈdāˌdrēm/): a series of pleasant thoughts that distract one's attention from the present.

Daydreams, the savior of our life in class. Every type of student in the classroom does it at least once, but most cases it is an everyday event, especially in that boring class -- you know the one. But what are we thinking while we are daydreaming?

Puerto Ricans. They are very proud people and whether they were born on the island or born in the United States by Puerto Rican parent(s). It gets even better when they meet another fellow Puerto Rican or Latino in general. You’ll know quickly if they are Puerto Rican whether the flag is printed somewhere on their person or whether they tell you or whether the famous phrase “wepa!” is said.
