I Ranked the Harry Potter Movies because Why Not

This was one of the hardest things I've done

I Ranked the Harry Potter Movies because Why Not

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.

5 Benefits Of Learning Different Languages

It's a pain to learn but it's definitely worth it in the end.

When I was learning how to talk, I was taught both Portuguese and English at the same time. In elementary school, I started taking mandatory Spanish classes, which I did well in because of my knowledge of Portuguese. Then in high school, on top of taking Spanish, I also started taking French. Now, in college, already fluent in English and Portuguese, I'm in the process of becoming fluent in Spanish, and I have a standard high school level understanding of French.

I am without a doubt one of those people who refuses to start decorating for Christmas or listen to Christmas music until after Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, Thanksgiving has become an underrated holiday over the years. You barely see any Thanksgiving decorations in stores; it's like they skip right from Halloween to Christmas.

8 Things To Do To Keep You Occupied During Thanksgiving Break

Some universities only get two or three days off for Thanksgiving break. Or, if your university is like mine, you get the whole week off go go home. A whole week off is a long time. I'm not complaining, because I'd rather have a whole week off than three days, but there is a lot of down time. Here are some ideas as to what you can do to get the most out of your Thanksgiving break.
