Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2001)
The most faithful adaption to the book. We're off to a good start.
9/10
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002)
Same director, still faithful, more intense. YAY.
10/10
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004)
This is where we start playing Director Roulette. Alfonso Cuaron starts changing unnecessary shit, setting precedents for directors after him, and casts Gary Oldman as Sirius Black. I love me some Gary Oldman, but he would not have been my choice as Sirius. I didn't like David Thewlis as Lupin either, but he (Petti)grew on me. Sorry, that was awful.
7/10
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005)
Mike Newell takes the director's seat for this film. It's been awhile since I've watched it, but I remember it being pretty good. Fleur Delacour was so wrongly cast it isn't even funny. The three Triwizard Tournament tasks were awesome scenes. Again, I didn't like Brendan Gleeson as Mad-Eye Moody, but he grew on me. Oh yeah, and this is the film that introduced Robert Pattinson to the world. Way to fucking go, Mike.
7/10
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007)
This is where it gets goddamn ridiculous. David Yates is now directing and will be for the last three films. Everything in this adaption is embarrassing and retarded. The only thing he remotely got right was Umbridge and even she was too pretty. Oh, and Luna Lovegood was spot on as well. I understand the need to omit certain parts to fit a 600 page novel into less than 3 hours, but that also means NOT ADDING RANDOM AND UNNECESSARY SHIT.
1/10
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009)
THIS MOVIE IS THE REASON FOR EVERY BAD THING IN THE WORLD EVER. I point-blank refuse to watch this movie ever again or own it. There was absolutely nothing good in this film AT ALL. I'm surprised rabid fans didn't burn down the Warner Bros. building. If this is what sets up the last two films, everybody's gettin' raped.
