Sorcerer”s Stone
You”ll never forget your first time “¦ watching a Harry Potter movie. The first installment is when fans fall in love with their favorite characters, and J.K. Rowling created some of the best.
Chamber of Secrets
I avoided watching this movie as long as I could, because it is by far the scariest one. Big spiders and even larger snakes “¦ not really my thing.
Prisoner of Azkaban
The third film of the Harry Potter franchise was my personal favorite for a long time.
Fans are introduced to some of the best characters in the series, including Remus Lupin and Sirius Black, and let”s not forget Buckbeak the Hippogriff.

Goblet of Fire
The Goblet of Fire has a lot going for it. It really is quite grand. Dragons, men with long majestic hair. Plus it features the beautiful Robert Pattinson before he made the biggest mistake of his career. We must not mention the Movie-That-Must- Not-Be-Named.
Order of the Phoenix
This fifth installment is by far the best of the Harry Potter series. First of all, both the book and the film are the longest of the bunch, so any true fans should be happy about the extra content.
And anyone who complains that Harry is too whiney is just whining themselves. He is a 15-year-old boy who is being possessed by a very mean person. Let”s be honest.
Half-Blood Prince
The sixth film made Draco Malfoy my all-time favorite character of the series. He has a fantastic character arc.
There may be a lot of drama stuffed into more than two hours of movie (cough, cough, Lavender Brown) but there is also a lot of important information that culminates with one of the saddest moments of the series before the final installment.
Deathly Hallows (Parts 1 and 2)
J.K. Rowling is somehow able to tie all of the loose ends up neatly and leave her fans with an epic conclusion. The Battle of Hogwarts has most fans in tears with almost every viewing, but it is still incredibly satisfying. I suggest watching this one with popcorn on one side and a tissue box on another. Just try not to think about Fred.
