    DH2: great acting and CGI. Good pacing too.
    DH1: great acting, and very strong scenes.
    HBP: good acting and atmosphere. And CGI.


    image
  • OOTP:
    - Introduces some of the best characters (Luna, Bellatrix, Umbridge)
    - Breathtaking sets (Grimmauld Place, the Ministry, Room of Requirement)
    - Spectacular battle sequences in the Hall of Prophecy and more importantly Dumbledore VS Voldemort

    Deathly Hallows Part 1:
    - The shift from Hogwarts to the wider world has allowed for some unreal locations/sets like The Forest of Dean, Godric's Hollow and Malfoy Manor and a revisitation to other awesome sets like the MOM (which has been souped up for DH1) and Grimmauld Place
    - The Music score featuring some epic themes like Obliviate and Snape to Malfoy Manor
    - The relationship between the leads Dan, Rupert and Emma

    HBP:
    - Awesome cinematography
    - Atmospheric sets and locations like the Horcrux Cave, The Astronomy Tower and generally Hogwarts during Year 6
    - The combination of humour and darkness that sets a brilliant tone for the start of the end..

    Goblet of Fire - most entertaining of the films.

    Half Blood Prince - cinematography, best looking film.

    Deathly Hallows Part 2 - most emotional and exciting, the best film in the series.

    DH2 - To put it in a way, everything in Irlkg's sig
    "Deeply Satisfying"
    "Eternally Iconic"
    A film that will make you cry for about 40 minutes straight, a non stop tear jerker. Action scenes that will leave you speechless and a perfect ending to 10 years.

    DH1 - The Trio's acting has not been better. It's a character driven film. An adventure!

    POA - The perfect change in direction for the films!

    I consider Deathly Hallows one film, but we're doing the separate Parts for this, so if you could please pick one (or both by replacing another) and say so. Thanks :)

    Memory is a way of holding on to the things you love, the things you are, the things you never want to lose
  • Order of the Phoenix.The only HP where Hermione doesn't steals lines to Ron, Luna, Neville and Ginny becomes in the silver trio and not just a bunch of random characters. And the first HP with emotion in all of it. It would be a masterpiece if WB didn't butchered the original three hours cut of it.

    Then, DH 1 and 2, if they count as two separated film. They're the most detailed HP films, the best acting, soundtrack, special effects and directing by Yates.

    POA: great directing, beautiful score, breathtaking cinematography, brought a new feel/atmosphere to the franchise

    DH1: memorable and beautiful montages, great character development/drama, the film focused mainly on the trio and the actors pulled off amazingly

    DH2: jaw dropping visuals and sets, good action sequences that enhanced the story, strong acting, amazing score, a truly emotional and satisfying conclusion.

  • Prisoner of Azkaban: Superbly handled story. Amazing soundtrack. Granted Harry Potter a lot of critical credit; gained the series more seriousness.
    Deathly Hallows: Part One: Perfection! Very similar to book! Superb acting, great direction, and a peaceful score.
    Deathly Hallows: Part Two: A mix of everything good! Magic, action, emotion, etc. An impeccable finale.

    ...i guess i am blind lol what do i know~

    Accolades:
    1. An award or privilege granted as a special honor or as an acknowledgment of merit.
    2. An expression of praise or admiration.

    Deathly Hallows Part 2 received a bit more praise than Azkaban.

    They never learn...
    Order of the Phoenix is vastly underrated.
