What are the best Harry Potter movies?
Wands at the ready! Eight films in and there's still a lot of debate on which one is the best. When you try to rank every single Harry Potter movie from the best to...not-so-best, you could already swear that you're up to no good. Why? It's 'cause each movie is unique and adds value to the franchise as a whole. J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series is the third highest-grossing movie franchise of all time. Even almost a decade after the Potter films ended in 2011, the narrative of magic, friendship, and making moral choices in an immoral world still remains in our hearts. Plus, nowadays you can stream what you think is the best Harry Potter movie on demand. As a celebration of this amazing movie franchise, we've come up with a list of Harry Potter movies ranked. Let us know which ones you think should be at the top!
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone
If it wasn't for the success of the first film, then the following films wouldn't have made much of an impact. A lot was riding on this initial film and it did not disappoint. The Philosopher's Stone captures almost as much magic as the novel. Plus, Warner Bros. did amazing with almost the entire cast!
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
After the slightly childish tone of the first two films, things made a much darker turn in the Prisoner of Azkaban. The kids started to grow up and the film has this creepy aesthetic to it with a more immersive atmosphere. It definitely brought the magic of the Harry Potter series to life and made it much more realistic.
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
If the first film was the introduction, the second film is where the action gets going. It features events like meeting Dobby, destroying the first Horcrux, and discovering Harry can speak parseltongue. It's a pretty memorable film given that it's the longest one in the franchise. Still, a lot of awesome things happened in the Chamber of Secrets.
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince
This film's highlight is none other than Snape and his misunderstood identity. Underneath the image of a tortured and lovesick potions master, you had a hero just laying in wait. His full redemption isn't unveiled until the final entry in the series, fans are treated to the spectacle of Alan Rickman as Severus.

- #1April 30, 2018"Woohoo!! That was GOOD! I totally enjoyed the movie, and actually feel exhilarated and all sorts of happy and confounded at the same time. So much action, so much plot twists, so much darkness and really disgusting evil. The whole thing flows beautifully - those people know how to write a movie script from a novel, that's for sure. And the cinematography is one of the best of all the Harry Potter movies. Harry and his friends are getting better as they age, and the story gets into its groove to a higher level than before, which is something to say. I hope there will be more to come although we are being told it could be the last one - after such a thrilling ride, I can't believe they'll abandon us. Please!"

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince - #2April 30, 2018"Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is one of the best Harry Potter movies. My wife and I are bingeing on the Harry Potter movie series. We've thoroughly enjoyed everything we've seen and have only one more film to watch. Note that we're both "senior citizens," but that hasn't stopped us from enjoying this "YA" series. Highly recommended."

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire - #3April 25, 2018"Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is the second movie in the series, and it is excellent. It tells of Harry's second year at the mystical school of Hogwarts and his encounter with the feared Voldemort and his cohorts. A fantastic movie, great acting and cast, and awesome visuals."

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets - #4April 30, 2018"For me this sould be clearly #1. Its the smartest, best directed movie in the Harry Potter series. This movie loses the "too-childish" feel of the first 2 movies, while at the same time not falling into the "taking itself way too seriously" catgory of later movies."

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix - #6April 20, 2018"I thought it was a good if drawn out film. The lighting was off at times and Radcliffe was a little inconsistent in his acting throughout. The ending was quite dark compared to the novel however."
