The only irrefutable fact here is that we're discussing the dullest franchise in the history of movie franchises. Each episode following the boy wizard and his pals from Hogwarts Academy as they fight assorted villains has been indistinguishable from the others. Aside from the gloomy imagery, the series’ only consistency has been its lack of excitement and ineffective use of special effects, all to make magic unmagical, to make action seem inert.

Perhaps the die was cast when Rowling vetoed the idea of Spielberg directing the series; she made sure the series would never be mistaken for a work of art that meant anything to anybody?just ridiculously profitable cross-promotion for her books. The Harry Potter series might be anti-Christian (or not), but it’s certainly the anti-James Bond series in its refusal of wonder, beauty and excitement. No one wants to face that fact. Now, thankfully, they no longer have to.

>a-at least the books were good though
"No"
The writing is dreadful; the book was terrible. As I read, I noticed that every time a character went for a walk, the author wrote instead that the character "stretched his legs."

I began marking on the back of an envelope every time that phrase was repeated. I stopped only after I had marked the envelope several dozen times. I was incredulous. Rowling's mind is so governed by cliches and dead metaphors that she has no other style of writing. Later I read a lavish, loving review of Harry Potter by the same Stephen King. He wrote something to the effect of, "If these kids are reading Harry Potter at 11 or 12, then when they get older they will go on to read Stephen King." And he was quite right. He was not being ironic. When you read "Harry Potter" you are, in fact, trained to read Stephen King.

they're all shit meant for children.

people who think 3 is the best really need to fuck right off

there's nothing wrong with the first two movies. both fun and accurate to the books. don't give me that crap about them being for kids, because this entire series is for kids.

They're all shit

Why is 6 the worst book?
My ratings are about the same, but with 5 and 6 swapped.

I never saw a movie past 3

Also last time I read the books was when the last one came out

Switch 6 and 5 and ya got my preference

The books popularity went up since it was released because of Trump.

>>83858324
swap 1 with 7 and its fine

If you don't think the first two are the best you just don't like Harry Potter. Everything afterwards didn't get the tone right. 3 was good, very good even but it was when the series started to have pointlessly bleak visuals.

3 and 7 did most to advance the art of Cinema by being adaptations that went above and beyond the source material

1 and 2 are workmanlike studio productions of children's fodder, nothing more

ITT: Casting mistakes

Haven't watched HP since Goblet of Fire. Should I bother?

>>83859511
Dubs and my own personal opinion confirm

>>83858324
Eh half blood prince had a very disappointing ending.
It was building up to a battle like in the books but nothing happened.

>>83869817
danger of child actors
you can't predict how they turn out

>>83869905
Did you liked Goblet of Fire?

If yes, you should. If you hated it then don't bother.

>>83858324
"No!"

>>83871050
They really should have had the balls to swap out some of the actors by films 4/5

I'd have swapped out Emma after 3, obviously too pretty for Hermione.
Casting someone who could actually act for Ron would have been nice too.

Fantastic Baseds is the only decent harry potter flick

>>83873610
this is accurate. I'd swap 5 and 2 though. I really hated 5.

>>83871131
Goblet of Fire was pretty good, imo. Atbleast it wasn't complete trash.

>>83858324
The Chris Columbus ones were so much better than all the rest it's really not even fair to put them in the same ranking list. The amount of whimsy is not even comparable.
