It is arguably the darkest movie in the franchise, which makes it so interesting to watch. This movie is heartbreaking, yet so intriguing for so many reasons. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009) It’s also what propels the sentimental quality at the highest level throughout the film.Ģ. The three friends go through an unbelievable amount of turmoil within their relationships together, which makes the storyline all the more real. This movie has arguably the best acting in the whole franchise, and the main trio provide some really heartfelt dialogue that is believable and shapes the main characters’ relationships. The first Deathly Hallows film is far superior to the second, because it shows the journey of the friends as they try to unveil the horcruxes. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part One (2010) As well, the order surrounds Harry with love and it’s evident to see their love for them, which bolsters the heartwarming feeling in this movie.ģ. The introduction of Sirius as a father figure for Harry is endearing, because we finally get to see Harry have someone that he can look up to. The audience is finally able to see Harry’s life seem the most complete and his character seems so content with his life in this film. The Order of the Phoenix is not necessarily the best film of the bunch, but it is the most heart-warming. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007) The beginning of the film is very boring and drawn out, so the fight scene at the end is appreciated to help the movie seem more interesting than it is.Ĥ. The battle scene is by far the highlight of the film, which certainly makes the film move along. Simply put, the second tries to pack so much detail in that it becomes overwhelming for the viewer. This take might get some heat, but the first Deathly Hallows is better produced and executed than the second, tenfold. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part Two (2011) The movie embodies the naïve nature of Harry, but the acting is still fairly rough and the storyline isn’t deep enough to rank it higher.ĥ. I think the film as a whole does a wonderful job of encapsulating the nuance that is required in the first movie of a powerful franchise. They have no idea the darkness they will encounter in the next films, which is something that makes it so interesting. This movie is refreshingly nostalgic, as the glimmer of hope still flickers in the eyes of the children.
Sorcerer’s Stone is an all-time classic, and it’s one that will be remembered as the pinnacle of the film collection for a long time.
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2001) While it’s sort of refreshing to see a new plot line not centered around the fear of Voldemort, it almost feels as if they didn’t have enough within this movie to make it fully embody a very serious addition to the franchise.Ħ.
The movie displays an alternative to Voldemort as the main antagonist, instead the ultimate foe of the storyline is Sirius Black, who is framed as a terrible serial killer. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004)Īs the third installment of the franchise, this movie is respectable but still is very awkward in its own right. This movie also has the worst Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor, Alastor (Mad-Eye) Moody, which ruins the viewing experience.ħ. All around, this movie fails to find a good follow up to the first movie, possibly because the first movie was so collectively loved. The introduction of Dobby the house elf is perhaps the best addition of this film, though he only appears for a few minutes and reappears to save the film in the end. Chamber of Secrets feels like an awkward attempt to maintain the nostalgia that the first movie has, but falls short.
