my favorite is my favorite is Prisoner of Azkaban

Alfonso Cuaron is by far the best director of the Harry Potter films. His prior works include the wonderful Y tu Mama Tambien, a great version of "The Little Princess" and the hip ’98 version of Great Expectations.

I think a lot of people trashed his Potter film because they didn’t take into account the fact that the third book was longer and more convoluted than the first two books. Of course he had to leave more out... far more happens in POA then in the first two books. He handled it admirably though, the story, even with it’s time travel and twists and turns was easy to follow. His editing was far smoother than the first two and his location shots were far more enigmatic and evocative than any of Chris Columbus’.

I think the reason so many people dislike Cuaron’s POA is because it was far more mature and well-crafted than the first two films. In other words, it was TOO good. People were disappointed because they actually had to think... and because the third film was very, very dark.

I really wish they’d bring Cuaron back... at least then the Potter films could be both entertaining and artful.

my favorite is the prisoner of azkaban
it was the darkest
and thats how harry potter is supposed to be
and the music was the bast
but i actually kinda liked the half blood prince
almost as much
but i think its just cuz i like the story so much

half-blood prince.

I agree. The third film is my favourite.

Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone/the Sorcerer’s Stone.

I do love the Chamber of Secrets and the Prisoner of Azkaban as well!

I like the others but not as much. The OOTP was cool though! Umbridge & Luna were so much like the characters in the books, some of the other characters don’t really play their roles properly...

To me they all were great! I like differnt thing in them all! So it makes it more hard for me to chose. I think it’s a tie between the Prisoner of Azkaban, and the Order of the Phoenix! For some reason I was not the bigest fan of the Half-Blood Prince

all of them
my fave is number 6 tho cuz its tha most close to tha book
but number 3 also is so good!i can watch it all day long!

harry potter and the half blood prince
is by far the best
very close to the book and also had the best acting
cinematography, and score(music) as well

but i do like harry potter and the prisoner of azkaban
as well

My favorites are the first three because although each film took several things that we as fans of the books love, I felt that the story was not lost because of the changes. I realize that The Goblet of Fire is a lot bigger and it continues to stay that way... but I just stick to the books for 4-6.

Someone please elaborate on how the film of HBP follows the closest to the book. SOMEONE please clarify this for me. Because by all means, it didn’t. It focused on... oh just come on! HBP and OOTP delivered the least in terms of plot and remaining faithful to the book. You know the books right? The book is the actual story, the film is the adaptation. I’m tired of people thinking that the films are better, or that they came "first".

Goblet of fire.

Hard to say really. I loved them all.

order of the pheonix

Prisoner of Azkaban for sure. It was dark and the dementors looked sick!!! Cuaron is brilliant!

I LOVED THE SECOND ONE...HARRY POTTER AND THE CHAMBER OF SECRETS!!! IDK, I JUST LOVE IT. THE BASILISK, THE PETRIFYING, THE SPIDERS, IDK IT’S JUST AWESOME, I LOVE THE STORY.

It’s a toss up between Goblet of Fire, Order of the Phoenix, and Half Blood Prince
