Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone/Philosopher’s stone (2001)

by Movieclips Classic Trailers on YouTube

It was really light in the sense of story line, I mean it was enjoying and a great way to introduce the magical world to the audience. You stop noticing all the special effects and really focus on the characters.

Overall it was an enjoyable movie for kids and adults alike.

Rating: 9/10 Owls

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002)

by Movieclips Classic Trailers on YouTube

This movie took a dark turn but still keeping it quite light. It doesn’t hit you with all the information at once but slowly gives you information throughout the movie.

Overall enjoyable.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004)

by Movieclips Classic Trailers on YouTube

Now this one is pretty dark, it grows with the audience and their taste. Although Harry Potter is the chosen one he can’t seem to understand his abilities which sometimes can be annoying but beside from that it wasn’t that bad.

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005)

by Movieclips Classic Trailers on YouTube

Harry Potter can’t seem to catch a break, first his parents gets killed, then his godfather was wrongfully accused of murder, and now he’s been force to compete as fourth champion in the Triwizard tournament but what could wrong…apparently a lot. The dark lord appears and people die, it’s a tragedy.

Harry seems smarter and we also see a growth in Hermione’s and Ron’s character; Hermione is no longer just a know-it-all character but has depth and Ron is no longer just there as comic relief but has grown to have his own thoughts too.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007)

by Movieclips Classic Trailers on YouTube

I thought Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban was scary but apparently this was way scarier but also dark and grim, seeing the Minister of magic’s face when he saw Lord Voldemort apparate away was priceless, at least it seemed like people would now believe that he is finally back…

The training montage of Dumbledore’s Army was really funny and shows really what everyone was actually capable of if they actually have a great teacher.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009)

by Movieclips Classic Trailers on YouTube

Some great comedic moments have been shown here with Harry faking Ron’s luck and then took it himself and that moment with Aragog’s funeral was funny. Overall it was entertaining full of magical moments and finding out more about Snape’s past was interesting.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 (2010)

by Movieclips on YouTube

The ending was definitely one of the few most heartbreaking moments of the entire saga, our favorite house-elf, Dobby, may he rest in peace. All the actors have grown up which this series of film has really shown how so much more seriousness in terms of character and story, the end is near and the core three are willing to do whatever it takes to save everyone of the Dark Lord himself, Voldemort.

Rating: 10/10 socks

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 (2011)

by Movieclips on YouTube

A satisfying ending towards a great series. There are definitely some shocking moments for someone who hasn’t read the book or haven’t seen the movies in a long time.
