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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
