thats okay, the big thing was spoiled a long time ago

I always loved the goblet of fire, even though the bulk of the film didn't really have much to do with the underlying story.

Prisoner of Azkaban was great. I like the last the best though. I prefer the darker tone. Order of The Phoenix was the worst IMO. I just wish they would have made all the movies 2 parts. Maybe 3 hours each. They left out a lot. Order was the biggest book but the shortest movie. Besides Deathly Hallows Part 2. Why? Speaking of actually, Chamber of Secrets Extended Edition is 6 minutes shy of 3 hours. That should have been the length of them all.

Prisoner of Azkaban is when the series when from pretty solid to GOAT tier. Deathly shallows one was by far the worst but part 2 is incredible

I don't get the hate for DH pt 1. It's actually pretty comfy if you're not going in expecting ebin wizard battles for 90 odd minutes.

Prisoner > DH pt 2 > DH pt 1 > Goblet > Order > Chamber > Philosopher >>> subatomic dogshit > Half Blood

agreed 100% actually

I like Azkaban and Goblet the best out of the series. You should give the books a read, too, at some point. The films are pretty good adaptations, but there's just more stuff in the books.

Fantastic beasts was shit.

i plan on reading the books asap and i want to go see the movie with my sister soon

I hope you enjoy FBAWTFT. I wasn't too keen on it, nowhere near as good as the main series.

But yeah the books are pretty good. Might have to read them again after I finish Metro, Dune and Alien Anthology #1. It's been a few years since I last read them.

Half Blood Prince was my least favorite movie. So much left out of the books, I didn't care for the romance and the film was so visually dull to look at.

Just finished up watching these movies fully for the first time. Here's my list:

Half-Blood Prince > Prisoner of Azkaban > Deathly Hallows Part 2 > Goblet of Fire > Chamber of Secrets > Order of the Phoenix > Philosopher's Stone > Deathly Hallows Part 1

HBP - I liked the humour a lot, lots of focus on Snape and the Death Eaters, and it had a great ending. I didn't mind the romance bits.
POA - Awesome adventure story. Dementors scared me as a kid and still do, and the Patronus charm is my favourite spell (though it doesn't become so until OOTP).
DH2 - Whatever DH1 did wrong this one made up for it. Never a dull moment, and it virtually answered every question the previous movies failed to address. This one will be the most fun to rewatch after I read the books, I reckon.
GOF - Another fun adventure. Voldemorte's revival is pretty cool.
COS - Basilisk was dope. Seeing Tom Riddle as a student really sold me on the connection between him and Harry. I remember playing the DVD game of this movie so there's probably a little nostalgia there for me.
OOTP - Nothing too bad but nothing to write home about, either. It doesn't help that I wanted to strangle Delores the entire time, anyway.
PS - Again, nothing to write home about. I put it lower than OOTP because it has slightly worse acting from the main trio.
DH1 - Quite boring. I wasn't expecting action but, like I said earlier, every movie before had either answered question posed earlier on in the movie or the series by the conclusion, and this felt like it did neither. Although admittedly, the movie will probably fair better on my second watch now that I know the ending. Dobby was dope, too.

I reserve the right to change my list when I rewatch and/or read the series. This is just what I felt after rushing through them since I got them on Christmas Day.

Snape is best character, followed by Dumbledore.

Chamber is best tbh

Could someone explain to me the whole Snape's Tears Backstory thing? I felt like I missed a lot of what was going on. Stuff like why Lily and Severus had the same Patronus animal. Why was James Potter such a douchebag? etc. etc.

Severus had Lily's Patronus animal merely to symbolize Snape's love for her.

James was a douchebag because, well, he was a jock. Popular Quidditch player, Head Boy, etc. made him think very highly of himself and very lowly of less popular students such as Snape.

Anything else?

it just seems a bit odd to me that Snape would take out his distaste for James on Harry when... Harry is really not like that at all.

Harry is a living reminder that Lily chose James over him.

Yeah, that point is brought home more in the books.

gotcha.

poor snape.
