Okay, tomorrow is officially release day for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, but I get to see it tonight at 7:00! Sure, I'd usually see it at midnight and I'm only gaining a few hours, but still -- woo-hoo! It's Harry Potter movie time tonight!

Anyhow, I thought I'd do a little list. Not counting tonight's movie, of course, because I haven't seen it yet, this is my ranking of Harry Potter movies from most to least favorite:

1) HP and the Order of the Phoenix
2) HP and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1
3) HP and the Prisoner of Azkaban
4) HP and the Sorcerer's Stone
5) HP and the Goblet of Fire
6) HP and the Chamber of Secrets
7) HP and the Half-Blood Prince

I basing this solely on my reaction to the movie version of these books. For example, I love, love, love Half-Blood Prince, but the movie just doesn't do it for me. Same with Goblet of Fire (which might be my favorite book from the series). I just felt let down by it. Order of the Phoenix was easily my favorite, even though the book doesn't knock my socks off. Deathly Hallows: Part 1 is so close to the book, that you have to give it props for just bringing everything to life so wonderfully. And, of course, Prisoner of Azkaban contains this, which is one of my favorite scenes from both the book and the movie...



What do you think? What's your HP movie ranking?
