Why do people say this is the worst one?

It's the male hair cuts. People are confused by the vidal sassoon styles of harry and ron

I don't know, fifth is worse, so much shit cut out.

1 > 2 > 3 > 4 > 5 > 6 > 7 > 8

It literally got worse each time

>supposed to take place in the 90s but the boys all have 00s era haircuts
>girls are all wearing muggle clothing from the 2000s
>plot was super rushed
>they never bothered to make Hermione homely so the reveal at the Yule Ball was extremely underwhelming

pretty sure the order of the phoenix is viewed as the worst one. goblet is at a loss because it's largely reliant on a pretty shit story. every plot point is "WELL SOMEHOOOOOOW" and literally nobody seems to give a fuck until the end of the movie.

I have a lot of nostalgia for it because it's the first Harry Potter movie I saw. It's also goofy and hilarious.

It's the best one alongside Chamber of Secrets. Only a filthy filteredkin would contest.

Why do people say this is the worst one?

Let's do a quick summary:
>first movie in the series where the actors dont feel like actual fucking children
>first movie to focus on sports
>first movie to depict the Irish beyond seamus blowing himself up
>first movie to show neville becoming a chad
>best twist in the franchise with moody
>second best twist in the franchise with doctor who (maybe this is the third best twist after pettigrew, that's up for debate I guess)
>cedric diggory
>best scene in the franchise when they accidentally celebrate cedrics death
>best girl in fleur
>correct decision to remove dobby
>correct decision to dump all the needless grimdark bullshit from azkaban
>first movie to draw attention to what an annoying piece of shit ron is
>first movie to properly show voldemort
>first movie to show theres a learning curve with spells
>first movie to have dragons in it
>worth mentioning again that the entire plot is sports focussed meaning all boys who arent gay should like it
>krum
>kino dance scene from other wizard schools, none of this worldbuilding is present in the other films
>kino hairstyles that don't appear in any film making this one special
>first movie where harry learns to stfu
Yeah, all in all, this movie is probably the best one they did. It's almost so far ahead its not up for debate

Harry Potter never was nor did it ever intend to be some hyper nerdy encyclopaedic level universe like LOTR. It is just a fantasy ya / kids series that is the best at what it does, faggots like you trying to dissect it on this level are so cringe and I'd love for you to tell me what your favourite 5 films are
the dancing wizards in Goblet was a nice touch to the universe, you are unironically an irl soiboi

Its the first movie where the cuts from the book feel substantial to audiences. The director also is basically on record as having phoned it in. The reason the boys all had long hair in 4 for example is because when they came back to film the director shrugged off any need to style their hair.

Personally, I think the sixth movie is easily the worst and is the one movie where you NEED context from the book to even make sense of what is going on. Snape being the Half-Blood Prince especially falls flat in the movie since that whole plot thread is almost entirely in the background.

>>211390482 (OP)
I remember my friend in high school saying Hermione was hottest in the first movie.

>>211390482 (OP)
this is my favorite because it’s the emo and teenage angst one

what was his fucking problem?

>>211390482 (OP)
I wouldn't say worse one, but its probably the movie that cuts the most from the books.
Usually that doesn't mean much since its just some useless fluff, but in goblet of fire its kind of plot specific. Like they never explain how barty crouch jr gets out of azkaban and replaces mad eye in the movie.

>>211390482 (OP)

>>211390516
I think the worst thing the fifth movie does is how it handles the kids getting caught. In the movie Cho is captured and force-fed truth serum and has to confess against her own will. There's no reason for anyone to be mad at her and no one talks to her about why she betrayed them. Snape just casually reveals it was truth serum later in the film. In the books Hermione hexed the sign up sheet so that any snitches would be permanently scarred with sneak written in pimples across their forehead. Cho's friend snitches on the group for a variety of personal reasons and Cho stands up for her and says what Hermione did was wrong.

>>211390482 (OP)
the worst film is half blood prince.
>You need to read the book to understand the movie's story

That's true for 4 and even parts of 3 too.

>>211394381
That is the comfiest one with the most normal year at school though.

>>211394381
HBP is my favorite book too, it's such a shame they needed to cut so much. 6 should've been split up between 2 movies just like 7.

>>211394540

>>211394397
4 is bad, but 3 is kino and the best one. Neither look like shit

>>211394584
why is it your favorite book? I kinda slept on it ngl

>>211394397
Not really. You get extra information from those books and there's things left behind but both of those movies build complete narratives out of what they do show on screen. You can watch the movie and not feel like you missed something. Half Blood Prince leaves almost the entire plot behind but never fills the gaps. They don't even explain WHY Snape is the Half-Blood Prince and they don't include most of the scenes that show Dumbledore and Voldemort's relationship. They don't even fully explain what Voldemort's horcruxes are. The book has Dumbledore go into detail about the various items, the movie only has Dumbledore say that they could be anything or something like that.

>>211390482 (OP)
Misplaced priorities both tonally & diegetically. The book is a bop because it represents the exact moment the series evolves from light & fluffy children's lit to dark & edgy young adult lit, & the producers fumble it at every opportunity. The plots of the film versions of OOTP & HPB are mutilated & abridged almost as heavily, but at least in those cases they preserve the tone/atmosphere of the source material, whereas in GOF they fuck it up relentlessly

>>211394651
I felt that HPB gave the most character development to both Harry and Malfoy out of all of the other ones. Harry specifically had to mature and develop himself due to Voldemort coming back from dead at the end of 4 and we saw him take initiative in 5 by setting up Dumbledore's Army and teaching others how to defend themselves.
Harry slowly comes to the realization that he couldn't rely on Dumbledore to protect him forever and that he needs to take action in bringing Voldemort down. HBP was mostly setup for 7 yet it tries to have Harry attend Hogwarts as a student for as much as he can while behind the scenes, he and Malfoy are both trying to accomplish their separate goals.

>>211391591
I would never go to "castelo bruxo" imagine spending you're best years with fucking latinos and brazilians, Argentina should have its own thing

>>211394736
In third movie you never even find out why the fuck there's a secret passage to the shack or where the fucking map comes from.

The only way you can know is if you already read the books.

In 4 you never find out how the fuck Barty Crouch survived/escaped after getting arrested. He just shows up, toppling the entire settings status quo, and then disappears just as quickly.

>They don't even explain WHY Snape is the Half-Blood Prince

By your own argument that's just extra info though. It doesn't really matter to the plot

Movie only-fag here. I've rewatched this series a half dozen times but cannot for the life of me can tell you what actual plot points happen in Half Blood Prince. Goblet of Fire is pretty bad but it doesn't feel outright skippable like HPB does.

>>211390482 (OP)
Its the best one and defined the look and feel of the best era of Harry Potter films. Prisoner, Goblet, and Order are the peak.

been rereading the books lately, they're much better than i remember. prisoner of azkaban is still the best one btw

Things just happen.

>>211390482 (OP)
Because millennials selfinsert as Harry and can't stand how much cooler Cedric is.

>>211390482 (OP)
The best HP books are Prisoner and Half-Blood Prince
In prisoner Rowling fully settled with her style, characters, world etc, and plot is pretty fresh after two books with the same "secretly bad guy in hogwarts who has to be stopped" premise.
And Half-Blood Prince is the most meaty and interesting story wise and character wise as it's focused on the major and fascinating characters like Dumbledore and Snape, as well as Voldemort himself, it doesn't have the massive filler of Order of Phoenix, it's very well written and edited.
As for the weakest books, I think that would either be Deathly Hollows for how crammed it was and how out of left field Deathly Mcguffins came, or first two books, that are very much kid ones and Rowling tried her hand there.
Goblet and Order are an overall in the middle of the bunch. Order suffers from bloating but is fun and nice to lose into, this is like the whole huge attraction for a reader, because Rowling has good prose and makes it interesting as well.
Goblet is also good, but just can't compete with the Prisoner and HBP.
So in the end it's
>Half Blood Prince
>Prisoner of Azkaban
>Goblet of Fire
>Order of Phoenix
>Chamber of Secrets
>Philosopher's Stone
>Deathly Hallows.

>>211395132
I would put PoA above HBP personally but yeah you're dead on the money

>>211390482 (OP)
>sit down to watch a film
>it's just an advert for the next one
You get invested in the wizard games and then you get a big rugpull about how it was actually Voldemort who funded the Magic League for the sole purpose of getting your blood, Harry, because he knew you'd touch an enchanted cup. And then the badguys win, the goodguys lose, and you wonder why you cared about who won at magical sportsball.

My brother. I don't agree with OoP though, it felt really weak to me, it's probably second to last on my list. Agreed with Deathly Hollows.

I used to hate the 4th one most, didn't even see the 5th in theaters because of it. I appreciate its unique style now though. I liked the long haircuts. The hair in 5 got too short. All thing considered it's the furthest from the book though.

>>211391591
Wait I remember seeing one where Japan and Korea share a school and thinking that was a recipe for disaster, did they realize that and retcon it or is the lore vague and people are just guessing differently?

All the movies suck because the books (except the last one) are 90% comfy slice-of-life at magic school with the main plot being an afterthought. But in the films the main plot is basically all there is. Fucking no one read Harry Potter for the plot, they read it for the magic school slice-of-life.

>>211396574
checked. I know you don't have digits but you are so correct they are there in my mind. I vaguely recall enjoying the movies that had the most slice of life stuff the most like hpb and azkaban

Best one is the third one because Genevieve Gaunt is in it.

Prisoner of Azkaban is the worst movie

Why do people say that why jk rowing can’t help but world build?
The last books are bloated Becuase she wanted to fit in all her world building.
>>211391591
There is nothing wrong with the original map.
Just consider the distribution of advanced research/degree schools in the real world and stop thinking wizard school needs are equally distributed with a world population, then you realize of course England, France, and Japan is going to have a school each while all of South America needs barely half a school.

>>211391090
>>worth mentioning again that the entire plot is sports focussed meaning all boys who arent gay should like it
That's why it's shit. The book is not focused around the tournament. It's just an annoying thing that forces Harry into spending time and effort into not dying. The movie takes it and makes it the entire plot.

>>211397219
Dumbledore uses legilimency on Harry in the book. It's why he isn't angry or aggressive because he knows that Harry is telling the truth. Also Dumbledore doesn't really give a shit about Harry until after the 4th book. Up until that point he is just a pawn in his cynical game with Voldemort.

>>211395513
HARRY DID YOU PUT YOUR NAME IN THE FUCKING GOBLET OF FIRE YOU LITTLE SHIT?!

>>211390482 (OP)
I thought people hated it because Hermoine got Krummed

>>211397284
That never happened in the book. Rowling is very traditional. Sex comes after marriage. The writers were horny for Emma Watson's minor ass and wrote a bunch of shit that implied that she was fucking Krum the entire time. Someone should have definitely checked their hard drives

>>211397284
this is such a kino NTR subplot now that I think of it but it's also a great insight into a woman's mind. Rowling lets you know that Hermione could (and probably did) have fun with the most alpha guy around but she still settled down for the ol good Ronny boy

>>211397366
She never fucked Krum. Rowling is very clear on this. The writers for the movie just hated Ron for some reason,

>>211395640
There's nothing centrist about her, she's just far left on all but 1 issue. Earlier on she was more centrist about that specific issue but the fight has pushed her further right on that.

Has Rowling ever confirmed that Hermione had sex with Krum?

>>211397393
because it was still a book for kids/teens you couldn't have anything explicit here, but the implication here is clear coming from an adult woman's mind, why even create this type of sublpot? Read between the lines if you want to really understand what Rowling wanted to achive by Hermione using Krum to make Ron jealous. If it were your normal movie for adults they would have fucked 110%

>>211390678
The 2nd is the best looking one

>>211397527
Wrong as fuck

>>211397527
She barely even hangs out with him in the books. It's a very tame highschool relationship that goes nowhere. She even comes back to the common room after the dance and has a huge fight with Ron about it.

>>211397535
>>211397545
how young are you people lmao

>>211397564
Read. The. Book.
The screenwriter wanted to fuck Emma really badly so he wrote in a bunch of innuendo. Hermione's relationship with Krum isn't really a thing in the books. She writes a letter to him once in the fifth book and that's it.

>>211390482 (OP)

Also, this movie can be watched standalone, because its sport focused plot is contained in that movie

>>211396719
For me it’s the fact they never explained who the marauders were.
It was such a bizarre omission

This is my fav movie and book actually

The only reason people care about Harry Potter is the world and environment, the slices of life. People like larping as English wizards. To that end this movie does it best as it mostly ignores the groanworthy Voldemort plot until the end and focuses entirely on wizarding slice of life. Everyone is at their peak potential as characters and the wizarding tournament serves as a great plot backdrop. Before this one the series is too childish and meandering. After this one it becomes too annoying and grimdark as nobody actually cares about the forcefed Voldy plot and we no longer get all the fun slice of life moments. I know almost no one who rewatches the last 2 movies.

>>211399626

It also proves another thing that I said, Harry Potter would have worked far better as a "monster of the week" kind of series instead of an overarching AND THEN VOLDEMORT RETURNED series. We want to see wizard kids engage in novel activities in self contained episodes not hear about Voldemort's latest incarnation and aimless attempts at being evil and taking over things.

Book 1 and 4 are the best ones.

>Why do people say this is the worst one?

>>211390482 (OP)
Nobody. If anything Goblet of Fire was the last decent Harry Potter book before Rowling ran out of ideas and started throwing in filler as a substitute for having anything interesting happen. Order of the Phoenix you could cut out like 70% of the book and lose absolutely nothing of importance.

>>211397588
I did read the book and you're full of shit.
>She even comes back to the common room after the dance and has a huge fight with Ron about it.
Yeah and why do you think that is, hmm?
>She writes a letter to him once in the fifth book and that's it.
She wrote to him regularly all through the summer, Ron even throws a snarky bitch fit over it.

Its the one that takes place most in Hogwarts, as in the central storyline follows what's happening in the school for the most part and you get all the dynamics between the students and houses... it reads like a murder mystery in boarding school. The other ones are adventure books comparatively.

>>211395132
Swap Deathly Hallows and Order of the Phoenix. DH was crammed, but you're not giving it props for ultimately tying things off in a satisfying manner. The movies tried their hand twice at this and failed by comparison.

If any book in the series required an editor to tell Rowling to fuck off and come back when she condensed that shit to half its size, it's this one.

The only egregious error when it came out was no hint of Harry / Hermione endgame. The cope was strong still have Half Blood Prince I remember. Overall the main characters got good conclusions (except for Dumbledore lol... and the biggest drag of the entire book is spending all that fucking time with his brother)

the Harry/Dumbledore chapters are so good, HBP should have been pure kino.
I actually think the core plot of Harry Potter is underrated and overshadowed by its characters.

Based take.

>>211394381
HBP is the worst book and the worst movie. Voldemort's past is the only remotely interesting thing about it.

>>211401838
Damn, you hit very close to my ranking.
For how much shit Goblet got (and movie had some flaws for sure), it was damn solid book and good movie.
Atmosphere and tone in the Goblet's movie was exactly how the following books should have been.
Yates went into too much sterile, cold, later green and brown shit.
Later 3 books were pretty dark but they didnt turn into a fucking Nolan movies for gods' sake.
Yates sucked all magic out of the visual of the movies.

>>211402829
The HBP has its flaws (Harry and Ginny “romance”) but the Tom Riddle flashbacks are some of the best chapters in the whole series. The movies cut out most of the good scenes and kept all of the bad ones.

>Find Goblet the best HP movie and only rewatch Philosopher Stone and Goblet.

Its funny how changes the perception of the movies with age.
With age Philosopher's Stone doesnt lose its innate charm and remains to be fresh, rewatchable soulful movie.
Howere at some point you realize that Chamber is Columbus hitting all the same beats, just like in Home Alone 2, and its just inferior to the first movie. Its still a good movie, just not worthy of rewatch in the same degree as some other parts.
Prisoner of Azkaban though was falling off the more i aged. Cuaron's master stroke that felt so cool and good earlier, became kind of a nuisance. It no longer touches me. It started to look too jarring in the context of the series of movies. I realized it doesnt match the tone of the book as well. It fell hard. Not too hard. But, like 2-3 positions down.
Now, Goblet. Not flawless. But with an age i came to appreciate it more and more. It skips a lot and sometimes has wonky editing. But it has style that matches the book. Its also has own identity, it doesnt look like Chamber or Prisoner. It has a shit ton of cool moments. I like it a lot.
Time to rewatch it, i think. Right now.

Chamber is a great film, this revisionism that it’s not good is nonsense. While it doesn’t have as much spectacle as Stone (because the setting and director style are both no longer new) it improved on many other things. The child acting is a lot better, the special effects are better, and Columbus is the best at introducing memorable supporting characters. Chamber also had the best mystery buildup and reveal out of all the films. While Azkaban never explains who the Marauders were and Goblet reveals Barty Crouch Jr is alive in the opening, so neither ever had the suspense and mystery of each book.
Goblet is essentially a disaster movie parody of the book. Cut out way to and the characterization is all off, on top of adding a lot of bad scenes. But it does have a great visual style. The trailer for Goblet makes it appear the film will be fantastic. I can only imagine how disappointed the earliest fans who had read the books, saw the trailer, and were excited to see the film in theatres had been.

>>211394381
this is legit the worst HP movie, followed by 7.1

>>211401344
Nta but I do remember how she repeatedly puts Krum on the back burner. After the Lake trial when they are all together Krum tries to get her attention several times but she brushes him off and just talks to Harry and Ron.
I didn't get the idea that Krum managed to catch her snitch, despite trying really hard to.

Chamber is probably the best movie. Goblet is retarded, but in a hilarious and entertaining way. There's a reason it has some of the most memed scenes in the series.

For me it's a toss-up between Azkaban and Chamber - both books and movies respectively. I love them both. Everything else is mid. Well, except for the first one, which is above average, obviously.

>>211402926
>harry literally only beats voldemort through absolute sheer fucking luck
No. Theres a whole chapter when they face off where harry tells voldemort exactly how he was responsible for setting up all the dominoes that lead to his defeat.

To be fair the book was the most depressing in tone (outside of maybe the first half of DH). At that point JK Rowling was well outside of "children's" novel territory and going all in on YA. Harry is pretty much kept in the dark by all of his friends while being psychologically tortured by Voldi, everybody hates him after the Triwizard tournament, Dumbledore won't approach him and later disappeared, and Harry pretty much fucks up over and over leading to Sirius getting killed after coming to rescue him. Its the longest book and its just filled with brooding and negativity, the slog kind of works in the book but doesn't make for a great movie. I'm actually more offended by the things they fucked up in Half Blood Prince and DHs.

>>211390482 (OP)
I love the movie adaption cause it's very nostalgic for me
OotP was worse because the finale in the book is one of my favorites in the series and they cut 90% of it

>>211390482 (OP)
It's my favorite, because Hermione got KRUMMED by the superior alpha male, while the pathetic beta cucks Harry and Ron were bumming about with their micro dicks in their hands.

>>211401661
I agree with your DH criticism but I still liked it. I actually am not a huge fan of Prisoner, its boring to me compared to Gob, Order and the first two.

Ah yes, the duality of HBP. Its my favorite book but man did they butcher the movie.

>>211399645
Always thought they should've done this in a big budget tv series, set it in Hogwarts or Illvermorny to differentiate it from the films. Brand new cast, and just have the kids solving some new mystery or have some big adventure every season. With each season being a new school year. Instead we're getting remake slop

>Why do people say this is the worst one?

>>211406167
Nah, that's bullshit. By early DH, Voldemort's taken over, his enemies are scattered, Dumbledore is dead, and there's like four horcruxes to go plus Harry himself. It was pure dumb luck that they managed to 1. break into the Ministry without getting caught, 2. break into Gringotts without getting caught, 3. break into Hogwarts without getting caught, 4. kill Nagini without getting killed before or even start a war in Hogwarts to begin with when at this point the ministry is captured and the members of the Order should be getting rounded up and culled. Basically a miracle.

I was devastated. You're right, the trailer made me hyped as hell but the movie didn't deliver.
