Wow. The worst Harry Potter movies are the first two picked.


Toss up between Order of the Phoenix and Prisoner of Azkaban.


PoA checks a lot of boxes for me. I love the twist, the false ending, and it’s the only one that doesn’t end with a Voldemort showdown.

How exactly is Goblet of Fire the worst HP film?

Because it is heavy handed with its “reveal”. It butt fricks the book, and their hair is ridiculous.


I seriously apologize for being so flippant with my response. I’ve had a couple and maybe I’m a little lubricated. I’m not trying to demean your choice at all. If you love it, great. That’s kind of how movies work.

It is my second favorite book, and least favorite movie. HBP being my favorite book and 2nd least favorite movie.

So it’s mostly just my opinion.

Prisoner of Azkaban is infinitely rewatchable for me

They neutered the mystery in the first scene.

Reverse the movie order on being the worst, and agree 100%.

POA was a turning point in the film's, so well done. But HBP is my fave

PRisoner of Azkaban, it is cinematically the most impressive of all the films. You really feel like you are in another world.

I like the first two the best, they translate the feeling of the books the most to me.

Everyone always loves PoA, but it feels all over the place and the dude loved squashing random shite in random scenes by random things. That annoyed me, the random nature shite.

The cinematography in it is incredible.

The lighting is awesome too, everything looks different in Azkaban than in the other ones, even Hogwarts.

I’ve never understood the love for Goblet.

A lot of people love that one and it’s one of my least favorites.

It is very rushed to get all the material needed in. Dumbledore assaulting Harry about putting his name in the goblet is an awful take on the character too.

The Tri-Wizard tournament is fun and seeing the other schools. I guess I am in the minority with liking that film since I did the books after watching the films.

Goblet & Pt 2. Best ending to a film series ever!!


Completely disagree. The movies made Voldemort's death into a video game boss fight. The book was much more epic. and personal. Exactly how it should have ended.

If you mean that epilogue. LOL. I think Rowling admitted that was a mistake.
