Rank the Harry Potter books (or movies) (Spoilers) (long)

You can do books or movies if you haven't read them (for shame)
Disclaimer: I love all of these books, even the ones I rank low, I've read them all many times

#1: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (book 7): This book was exactly what I wanted from the seventh book. It was entertaining, it brought on a tough challenge for the 3, it did a great job wrapping up the series. From The Battle of Hogwarts on this book is completely epic, She wrote that final battle scene perfectly. It's my favorite book of all time, even if does get a little slow in the middle.
***One dislike***The biggest flaw in this book is Ron smehow speaking Parseltongue, going into the Chamber of Secrets and finding a Basilisk fang. Ok lets go step by step here: How the frick did Ron speak Parseltongue? No it's not believable that he had heard Harry do it so much that he "just did it". Parseltongue is not like a foreign language you can learn, you can either do it or you can't, and Ron can't. But even getting past that, why on earth would Dumbledore decide it was a good idea to just leave a giant dead snake with fangs full of venom down in the cellar wthout cleaning it up for 5 years (talk about stinking up the castle). He would have gotten Harry or someone else who speaks Parseltongue to open the Chamber, and he (or Hagrid) would have gone down there and cleaned up that mess, the snake wouldn't just be laying down there where they left it. Now heres the really tricky part, Ron wasn't there when Harry killed the snake remember? Because he was stuck behind a ton of rocks!!! The only way they got out was because Fawkes flew them out; so how did Ron and Hermione get down to the snake??? I wish they would have found a different way for them to destroy the cup, or AT LEAST have Harry run over to the bathroom and open the Chamber for them, I could get past the rest of it I guess...

#2: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (book 5): I know some people don't seem to like this book so much, but I thought it was fantastic. The whole Dumbledore ignoring Harry was annoying as hell, but once you find out why it makes complete sense. This book introduced the first time we saw that there was a group of people who actually were working on stopping Voldemort, and it wasn't just Harry and Dumbledore. Also Dumbledores army was great IMO, and the Ministry of Magic part is very very good (Sirius ). But the main reason this is my number two is Dolores Umbridge; she is a GREAT villain. I mean I hate her SO much, she is so worried about rules and order that she is willing to torture and segregate people. Honestly I hate her more than Voldemort, at least he's evil, knows it, and is trying to turn the world into his world. She is so obsessed with power and order that she becomes almost as evil as him, but she actually believes she's doing the right thing; and this book was her introduction

#3: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire: This was the first book that I wasn't dying for him to get to school so we could see some action. This book is great and introduces some good characters, the Triwizard Tournament was epic and I loved it, but there are two main reasons this book is high for me. The Quidditch World Cup was awesome, the way they got there, all the fans and craziness; and than when the Death Eaters sent out the Dark Mark and all the chaos ensued. To me that had to wake some people up to Voldemorts return being real, it was just an awesome few chapters. The second reason is Voldemorts return to full body. The graveyard scene was epic and it explained a lot as far as the connection between Harry and Voldemort. Cedric dying was awful, but necessary for the story, Voldemort is evil, he doesn't care about random people. The whole wand scene not only shows the strange connection they have, but also it shows how much even the Death Eaters fear Voldemort, he tells them not to step in and they don't dare for fear of punishment.
One thing I don't like about the book is that Harry gets into the Tournament and they let him compete. I mean c'mon, use some common sense, their are two things that could have happened. A: he cheated the system, which obviously is cheating, it's not allowed and he shouldn't be allowed to compete.(this still wouldn't explain why it spit out a 4th name) B: this is what happened, somebody put his name in the Goblet and messed with it to ensure his name came out. Now obviously this is a highly powered wizard, and since there is a crazy powerful psychopath hell bent on taking over the world by killing Harry; I don't think it would be too difficult to figure out why someone would decide to do that. As smart as Dumbledore is, how the frick did he not see that one coming???

#4: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban: The introduction of Sirius Black, this book marks one of the greatest twists in the story or in any book really. I mean Sirius is GOOD!!! I'm usually pretty good about forseeing twists but this one blind-sided me. The great part of this book is even knowing the twists it's still re readable. I mean the Animagus thing, Wormtail being Scabbers, Lupin as a Weir wolf, this is a great book. The back in time scene was very cool but it is the reason this book is just #4. OK, I get when you go back in time you don't exactly want to announce it to the world, I see why people would be confused, sure. But why the frick wouldn't they be able to tell themselves?!?!?!? Hermione knows she has the Time Turner, if she busted into Hagrids cottage, the past Hermione would know exactly what was going on and could help explain it; it really wouldn't have been that big of an issue. And if this had happened they could have captured Wormtail, and cleared Sirius's name pretty easily really. Now I get why Rowling didn't write it like that because of the rest of the series, but I wish she would have found a different way for them to go back in time, or just a different way to save Sirius that doesn't have such a big plot hole. Also, very conveniently they destroyed all the Time Turners in the 5th book and for some reason can't make anymore I mean clearly she realized these time machines were way to convenient and would really make Harry's job easier, so they all got destroyed, I mean it's kinda lame; I wish she never would have brought time travel into the world.
