Who has never seen all the films of the Harry Potter saga? For many of us, Harry Potter is a franchise that marked our generation, eight films that marked a before and after in our way of seeing the world. And although the three films of fantastic animals they’re just as good, they didn’t cause the same impact.
If you are interested in knowing which are the best films of the saga Harry Potterincluding those of fantastic animalsI prepared a list with the 11 films available from the magical universe of JK Rowling and the rating that I personally assign to each of them.
11. Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald (2018)
I’m sorry but Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald it’s unstoppable And contrary to popular belief, Johnny Depp It’s worse Grindelwald What Mads Mikkelsen. I am the first to idolize Deppbut it’s just playing the umpteenth version of Jack Sparrow, now with white hair. The Movie Is Only Saved By Judgment Day, A Brutal Scene That Ranks Among The Best fantastic animals.
10. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009)
It’s not that I hate Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, But there are moments in the movie that I hate. For example, Ron Weasley it’s dumber than ever, and focusing so much on the romantic relationships that are born in a group of teenagers doesn’t seem like the best thing to me. Here again, as in the previous case, the end saves the film from suspense, Dumbledore’s death already part of the franchise.
9. Fantastic Beasts: Dumbledore’s Secrets
Very hated movie that is not as bad as they portray it, nor as good as I said at the time. The plot developed between Dumbledore and Grindelwald is a gift for the fans, but its tone is excessively childish and it’s still a filler episode for something bigger, which will never come. Did you know his collection caused the cancellation of two other Fantastic Beasts movies?
8. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
The sequence in the Ministry of Magic is brutal, from beginning to end; Dolores Umbridge She is one of the best villains in the series. But the book is so good that as an adaptation it’s a bit short. It is surprising that the longest novel (nearly 1,000 pages) appears in the shortest film…
7. Fantastic Beasts
Fantastic Beasts is a good movie because it doesn’t try to be fan service as well as the next two installments. the character of Newt Scamander It’s adorable, the supporting cast do their job, and the plot set in New York lets us dive into the magical world beyond the UK.
6. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
A very funny adventure film whose biggest problem is the section that separates each event. Probably, the most entertaining delivery of the saga thanks to the direction of Mike Newell and with one of the most tragic endings.
5. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1
Unfairly criticized for being divided into two parts, the first is an intense whodunnit who gives us the Most mature Harry Potter yet. With a slow and quiet rhythm, the dialogues are a gift for lovers of novels and the intrigues breathe, without haste.
4. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
The secret room probably the movie Harry Potter which has aged less well, due to its excessive length and being at Hogwarts school almost all the time. However, for many it remains the most terrifying episode, with footage that has stunned some of us for years. Did you know I’m afraid of spiders because of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets?
3. Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone
Personally, This is the Harry Potter movie that I have the hardest time watching.. Obviously the passage of time and deliveries with more action from the same franchise play against it, but if we think like children, it’s the best gateway to the magical world of JK Rowling.
2. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2
End worthy of a saga that does not let you breathe, with a warrior element that is breathed in the environment and sequences that are the culmination of the saga. In addition, it perfectly complements Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1.
1. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
Alphonse Cuaron make magic with Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkabanthe best movie of Harry Potter and one of the best adaptations I can remember in its genre. From the soundtrack to the photography, including the characters, the scripts and the editing. Everything runs like clockwork (never better said) and turns this delivery into the example to follow for Warner Bros. if they want to return to the Harry Potter universe at some point.
