Deathly Hallows - 2 Films - Page 3

It's funny how we all have differing opinions.

Much as I liked the comedy in Goblet of Fire, I found it a lame movie overall, and much prefer Order of the Phoenix to it.

Can we all at least agree that Prisoner of Azkaban is cinema genius, far and away the best film of the Potter series???

Nope. I think OotP is the best. (PoA is quite good other than the aforementioned Shrieking Shack scene - the part of this that I'm missing is the revelation of the identity of Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs, and their relationship to Snape; it all but loses its meaning without that underlying information - and totally confused some viewers who hadn't read the books.)

I liked the films in the following order:
Azkaban, Phoenix, Sorcerer's Stone, Goblet and Chamber.

That's very close to my own list of best to worst:

Sorcerer's Stone
Prisoner of Azkaban
Order of the Pheionix
Goblet of Fire
Chamber of Secrets

I would say Azkaban, Goblet, Phoenix, Chamber. I would put [i]Phoenix[i] ahead of Chamber only because the more mature characters are more interesting and because of Luna. I still think every aspect of the climactic fight at the end of Phoenix--Dumbledore's army, aurors v. deatheaters, Dumbledore v. Voldemort--was a bore that amounted to nothing. Worst moment of Phoenix: the Minister walking in and saying in shock, "He's back." And all was forgiven.

With repeated viewings, I have a fondness for the first one that defies ranking.

I believe it's going to be 2 X 60 minute films.

With ad breaks.

I like all of the movies, In irder (they make more sense that way), and I stopped buying them after the first one, because I realised that they would be released in a full boxed set eventually.

Just like Prisoner: Cell Block H, which has just had all episodes released in a $1000.00 spend-fest. My resistance is crumbling...

Phoenix
Azkaban
Goblet
Sorcerer's
Chamber
