Prisoner of Azkaban, my dude

Cuaron nailed it in a way that none of the other directors really did.

Whats the point in arguing what is the best movie in the dullest franchise in history? Seriously 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.

I gotta say, this is definitely my #2. Prisoner of Azkaban really did it for me as a kid, and I don't know why. The book was even better.

OP here.

Honestly, my first post was banter. I actually never liked the stories that much in the books or movies. The thing that really draws me to the Harry Potter series is the actual universe behind the books. I guess it's an idiotic childhood dream to be a wizard blinding me from seeing shit writing, but I re-watch the Harry Potter movies all the way through at least once or twice per year(including the newest one).

Call me a faggot, you are probably right.

>Best
>Not Prisoners of Azkaban

Nice copypasta nigga.

faggot

based

The first two are better, azkaban was pretty solid too but after that it went downhill

Prisoner of Azkaban was the cringiest, worst movie with dumb dues ex machina time travel BS.

azkaban is the most trash and I'm glad so many plebs volunteer to filter themselves every hp thread

the best film was deathly hallows part 1

Came in to check if this was posted. I was not disappointed.

good old magick and mystery and not just some people whining 50% of running time.

also, the ending was boring shite, cuz teh drama needs to spin its wheels for the next chapters and its inevitable conclusion

>there are people in this thread that don't think Chamber of Secrets is the best HP movie

Chamber of Secrets is legitimately great, mostly because the story is self-contained and it goes a lot of places

The book version was pretty shitty too, Sirius is just a fuckhead.

None. It's garbage for plebs and soys

HBP is the best. It's by far the funniest, the conversations really have weight, and it's atmospheric and aesthetically consistent.

CoS > DH2 > PS >PoA > GoF > DH1 > OotP > HBP

wrong, the only good one is half blood prince

the only actor that gave a good performance prove me wrong

I have to confess I've never seen all Harry Potter movies
Are they even all worth watching?

"No!"

They are genuinely great if you're maybe 15 years old

If you didn't grow up with them don't bother

The 4th movie was fucking awful, it ruined the best book out of all of them.

Goblet of Fire always gives me this weird feeling when I watch it, like every scene is in a rush to end, if that makes any sense. Like if it lasts any longer than two minutes it's got to wrap up so the next one can happen. Was the editing bad?
Like the acting itself and camera work isgood but the way the movie is going at 100 miles per hour to get to the conclusion makes it feel rushed. Does anyone else get this feeling?
As for me, the first two are the best. Chris Columbus gave them that mystical, whimsical feeling that brings me back to my childhood. Them John Williams scores are perfect too. If I had to pick one it would be Chamber of Secrets because it has a better mystery plot and satisying conclusion compared to the kind of let down that was the last twenty minutes of Wizard chess and Voldemort being on the back of the guy's head.

Fantastic beasts.

All of the charm, zero teenager angst, american setting.

this

first two books and movies were ace
third book confused me when i was younger because the timeturner stuff i felt was poorly described and hard to follow the first time around, third movie is when they stopped making the characters kids and started trying to make them 'cool'

This.

>Eddie Redmayne as the protagonist
It's enough to never make me want to see that movie and the inevitable sequels.

I saw the play, ama

Because I love Potter

This the fourth book was retarded too, Rowling tried to go back to the roots with the 5th book but it was too late they were too old at this time.

>Rowling tried to go back to the roots with the 5th book but it was too late they were too old at this time.
What do you mean? All that comedy montage stuff in the movie wasn't presented as comic in the books. The 5th film was an abomination because it was the best book and the film turned out really disappointing because of how badly they changed the tone.

My favorite is Order of the Phoenix. That was my favorite book in the series too. Idk why. Maybe it's just because it's the comfiest story

It really is. People rave about the third film, but it bores me to sleep.

>last twenty minutes of Wizard chess

I hated this, they could have had an amazing chess kino scene but instead it was some dumb montage of pieces shuffling around and welp looks like Harry wins. We don't even get a wide shot of the whole board to see the positions for fucksake.

iirc they had hired a chess advisor to map out the whole game from start to finish, whatever happened to that?

>my son
>my boy
>aghhhhh

Get a fucking girlfriend holy fuck

These movies are all garbage.

Deathly Hallows Part 1

The 5th book was good but after that the Voldemord story went too fast from 0 to 100

best book, but one of the weaker movies

First four movies were great because magic was magic and it was whimsical and mysterious and David Yates hadn't yet turned it into gunfights with bullets and seeking cover like an action movie.

Goblet of Fire was the perfect mix of magic/whimsical and the dark tone that both the books & movies grew into as their audience grew older.

"No!"

Prisoner of Azkaban

Maybe because I'm a fanboy of Garry Oldman and characters like Serious.

Hey, how about you lick my dirty nutsack? faggot.

DH pt. 1 and 2 combined or OotP are my favorites.

>gunfights with bullets
as opposed to beating the shit out of each other with rifles?

I would pay to see a movie about that.

It's SIRIUS you fucking mong, get it right.
