    DH2: great acting and CGI. Good pacing too.
    DH1: great acting, and very strong scenes.

    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..

    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!

    -Actors have never been that good in the serie.
    -An epic final.
    -Amaizing CGI and soudtrack.

    HBP :
    -Beautiful cinematography.
    -Some of the best sets in the saga (cavern, few changes in Hogwarts, Astronomy Tower...)
    -Quidditch ! With great CGI.
    -Very emotional and epic soundtrack (journey to the cave, intro, In Noctem...)

    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.

    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.
