What is your favorite Harry Potter movie? v1

Poll by Zaz.

 

Tough one for me. I like most of them a lot, though I'll eliminate PoA and GoF, because those were my least favorite movies (liked the books, but not the movies so much there). I'll have to keep considering which one to vote for

 

**coughdorkcough**

 

Why, thank you

 

I consider The Chamber of Secrets to be the worst one...

I'm going for Half Blood Prince.
There was a few bits I didn't really like, but its definatly one of the best of the series so far.

 

Goblet of Fire, I have not read OOTP or HBP so I have not seen the movies either. I made a point only to read what I have seen and I don't really have a pressing need to pick up OOTP yet

 

POA is the best film, in that they translated the book into cinematic terms.

 

Goblet of Fire. I know that, technically, PoA is better... but GoF is the one I can watch and feel the most like I'm 'watching the book'. As someone who views the Potter films as little more than highlights reels of the book - and at that one that doesn't always get the highlights right - I think the graveyard scene is quite excellent.

 

In the books, the graveyard scene is one of the best chapters in the entire series. In GOF, it's wretchedly staged, terribly paced, and Fiennes is awful.

 

Order Of The Pheonix. Great movie, emotionally deep, wizards duel, great ending; "You're the week one.."

 

Chamber of Secrets, because it's the only one that I have seen.

 

I'm going to go with Order of the Phoenix. HBP, though I really liked it, had a few too many issues with how they're setting up DH now

 

This.

 

Sorcerer's Stone

It made me fall in love with the Harry Potter series.

 

"You're the week one..."?

 

Goblet of fire and one of the reasons is because it has my favorite character from the books Rita Skeeter who was played fantastically by Miranda Richardson!

Why does it not suprise me that the most recent movie had the most votes until I voted?

Anways, I voted GOF. It's my favorite book and the graveyard duel was always emotional, both in book and on film. Plus, it's where everything changes story wise for the series.

 

Chamber of Secrets, though I haven't seen any of the films past it.

 

COS is nowhere as bad as people would have you believe.

 

The first one is always the best.

 

Order of the Phoenix, I liked Half-Blood Prince, but not quite as much. My least favorite movie is probably Prisoner of Azkaban (yeah I know) I watched the first five movies before reading any of the books, and PoA just confused the heck out of me, having not read the books. The other movies were pretty good, especially since I think of the movies seperate from the books, but OotP was just amazing to me. Can't really explain why, though.

 

I've enjoyed all of the films but still consider OotP to be my fav. Not a fan of Mr. Kloves' screen writing so I felt film #5 did the best job at adapting JKR's work to film.

 

The first is very definitely not the best in this case. However, it is not as bad as GOF (nothing is)

 

I love what Cuaron did with Prisoner of Azkaban. But it's also my favorite of the books, which makes me love it all the more.

 

All of the books are pretty good, but they have different requirements on film.
