Irrefutable you say? you're damn right it's irrefutable
irrefutably one of the dullest franchise in the history of movie franchises written for people whose imaginative lives are confined to TV cartoons, and the exaggerated (more exciting, not threatening) mirror-worlds of soaps, reality TV and celebrity gossip?.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.

Azkaban is universally considered #1
Also Half-Blood Prince was dogshit tier. It was changed to compete with Twilight and completely fucked up everything about the book.
Logan Baker
DH Part 1 was better than GoF. GoF really shat the bed when it came to the third task. That could have been great.
Zachary Brooks

I enjoyed it when I saw it in theaters but I also pre-gamed at my house with my friends before going. So maybe the secret is to watch HBP while drunk.

Not a terrible list, but I'll help your taste out a bit and correct you on some points. PoA is the best one. Followed by the first two. HBP OotP DH2 DH1 Goblet of cutting out all the interesting plotlines and turning it into a laughable mess.

I hated that shit. My Patronus was something like a fucking beaver. I always get Slytherin even when I'm actively trying not to because I feel more like a Hufflepuff. Ilvermorny put me in that weird goblin Pukwudge or something. I liked my wand though, don't remember the exact details but it had a dragon heartstring core, I think mahogany, and was longer than my penis which for some reason made me feel good.
Lincoln Russell
No love for Half-Blood Prince? I really stood out to me because of the comedy and teenage romance, and Slughorn was great. Generally a feel-good movie until the finale which hits you hard. I won't deny that I still get emotional when everyone is surrounding Dumble's corpse and they all light their wands in silence and the Dark Mark disappears
Christopher Baker
I don't really care where you rank all the rest, just so long as you recognize that 4 is, objectively, the worst movie. By a wide margin.

Are these movies worth watching if you hate child actors?

What else would you expect from a series where the source material is so mediocre?
Levi Martinez
I've always thought of Prisoner of Azkaban as the worst film, and I stand by my opinion
Julian Adams
6 is the worst one, mongoloid
Jayden Perry

Isaac Hernandez
never understood all the people who hate on the first two movies. they are honestly very good book adaptions.
Angel Flores
They're good adaptations, but the acting is just silly and the sfx in the first are really bad. They benefited from the fact that the source material was really fucking short.
Luke Evans
These movies aren't worth watching at all unless you're a estronaut or a roastie
Michael Sullivan
i don't see that much of a problem with the acting, they're kids anyway. ron is annoying i guess but i can't remember any other problems.
Gabriel James
You had one job.
Brody Perry
>i don't see that much of a problem with the acting I honestly can't tell if you're serious or not.
I like this meme where we just put the films in chronological order! It's really fun and funny! Here's a reaction gif fellow user!
Easton Flores
"No!"
Logan Gutierrez
Goblet of fire is the worst. Terrible adaptation and it’s not worth watching more than once
Colton Butler
yea there's nothing that bad about that, just generic kid acting...
James Ortiz
the first two aren't in chronological order
Robert Turner
Just because there's a reason it's bad doesn't mean it's not bad.
There have been plenty of films were kids did decent acting acting jobs. This one just sucked.
Jose Lopez
Why though? My only problems with it was the lack of exposition of the Marauders. Film-only fans don't even know the map was made by James, Sirius, Lupin, and Pettigrew. The change of tone and direction from Cuaron made it really stand out as well.
Isaac Adams
Why would parents allow for their children to be tortured in the dungeons of Hogwarts by teachers?
Lincoln Cook
there aren't that many movies with decent kid acting tbqh
Angel Howard
Which sucks because its the best book and peak of the series.
I never liked PoA, both the book and the movie. It always felt to me like there was no strong villain/threat in the story and it made the story feel pointless. Not to mention the massive plot holes introduced by that time travel thingamajig, as well as the horrible message it sends to children: "someone you love dies? just travel back in time and save him kek"
Connor Sullivan
None of them are god tier. All of them are pretty mediocre, the only reason I still enjoy them is for nostalgic reasons. 3>7>1=2=4>8>5>6 6 sucked because nothing fucking happened, there was some weird colour filter on everything making it feel very dull, Dumbledore was suddenly "le funny gay smart man xD" and nobody gave a shit when he died. The romance was awkward and forced, and that scene where the death eaters attacked then just ran away was fucking retarded and unnecessary. The ending was terrible.
8 made voldemort seem like a joke, and that fight at the end was autistic and made no sense. The ending was very lazy and an 8 film series deserved a longer more drawn out ending like lotr. What a disappointment.

Luke Sanchez
goblet of fire is probably the best book in the series too. they just turned it into some retard action movie
Ayden Harris
they got worse as they went in, the earlier, more innocent ones were best, the magic and the fantasy was executed perfectly. whereas the later ones got more serious and less interesting
my favourites are the chamber of secrets and the goblet of fire
Jace Richardson
>some retard action movie that's just what harry potter is tho.
Jordan Torres
I really don't know why, it's just the one out of all 8 movies I would want to rewatch the least
Matthew Scott
Why do people hate The Philosopher’s Stone? Yes, it’s the first one in the series but the eerie ambience and the backstory combined with warm and cheerful Hogwarts (which unfortunately disappeared after the third film) worked perfectly
Thomas Nguyen
they dont hate it
Levi Young
i think people don't like it because it's too childish. there's nothing wrong with the movie
Carson Flores
Because JK Rowling is a useless Blairite cunt.
Hudson Moore
Why are your posts and threads so bad?
Parker Davis
it is sorta a kids franchise though
Ryan Thomas
The first two has awkward child actor and CGI scenes, whilst 3-6 have the comfiest "school life" atmosphere
Brandon Edwards
that's why it's pretty stupid for people to not like the first movie. the whole thing is for kids
Liam Turner

Jack Clark
I'd say she was bangable from about Phoenix onward. Goblet of Fire is Sup Forums tier.
Elijah Ross
Goblet of Fire is the ultimate pleb filter
Sebastian Roberts
Even my normie family thinks goblet of fire is by far the worst one. It's awful
Brayden Stewart
Why is it considered to be so awful? I mean, book aside
Adrian Morales
It's far too rushed. Way too many things going on in one movie, would've been better to split it into two movies like they did for the last one to add more backstory to everything that the book had so different scenes would actually make sense.
Cooper White
Order of the Phoenix is probably even worse in that regard though
Gavin Ortiz
I watched the first one recently and really Hermoine was the only annoying child actor. It was like an 11 year old American girl trying to do a British accent, but she's actually British
James Baker
Technically she’s French
Andrew Edwards
Half Blood Prince is easily the worst. One of the main points of the book is the focus on Voldemort's past and the majority of the film doesn't focus on that. Best is either Azkaban or Order of the Phoenix.
My ranking: 1) Order of the Phoenix 2) Philosopher's Stone 3) Deathly Hallows Pt.2 4) Prisoner of Azkaban 5) Deathly Hallows Pt.1 6) Chamber of Secrets 7) Goblet of Fire 8) Half Blood Prince
