I Ranked the Harry Potter Movies because Why Not

lovelace media

It's been a big weekend for Harry Potter. It was his birthday and the release of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, the final (!!) story in the Harry Potter franchise. And just because I couldn't jet off to London and see the play for myself, although I did run out to Target and buy the book, doesn't mean I didn't spend the weekend celebrating the Boy Who Lived. In honor, of this weekend, ~~ABC Family~~ Freeform, blessed us with yet another Harry Potter weekend. So after marathoning all the movies, I got to thinking about which one was actually the best. After a lot of debating, and changing, I did the hardest thing ever and actually ranked the movies (I want to make it clear that this is the movies, because the books aren't the same thing, obviously).

8. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

I think I put this one last because I hate Umbridge so much. Sorry, Order of the Phoenix, but one movie had to be last.

7. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

This is really hard, but I just put this one here because my sister always changes the channel when it's on. It's nothing personal.

6. Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince

Again, this is really hard, but it's sixth in the series, so it just fits.

5. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

The more I see this one, the higher on the list it gets. It would have been higher if it wasn't for the fact that seeing Voldemort for the first time as a child traumatized me.

4. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

I just really love this one.

3. & 2. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 & 2

You cant really do one of these without the other. Even though I didn't want the series to end, they did it in a way that made it okay, you know?

1. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

I love this one because it's bright and happy. He's just a lil boy that gets to go to Hogwarts, do magic, play Quidditch, and makes friends. And nobody dies! (okay, Professor Quirrel does, but he kinda had it coming). I think this one's the best one because it's just the beginning of everything.

So there you have it, my ranking of all eight Harry Potter movies.This task was nearly impossible. So this list isn't set in (Socerer's) stone, just ask me after the next Harry Potter weekend and I'll probably say that Prisoner of Azkaban deserved better.

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

University of Dayton

2995

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.

There are a lot of foods in this world, but there is only one dish that stands above the rest: Pizza. If you're close to me or at least know who I am, then you know that I'm totally obsessed with pizza. It's one of my favorite things to eat and I will NEVER turn down a slice, even if it doesn't have my favorite toppings. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not thinking about pizza. I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.
