The Reviews Of The Six Harry Potter Movies

I'm a huge Harry Potter fan. I wasn't when the first book came out, but it took a long time before I finally got hooked into the series. The Harry Potter series are great for a damn good reason. Unlike some book series *cough* Twilight. In observation, this is one good example of a series appealing to every age groups that gradually matures for each installment with something new from each one. So with the production of the last Harry Potter movie underway (in two parts), here is an update reviews of the previous six Harry Potter Movies.

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone

Take this as a beginner's entry level to the world of Harry Potter, where everything is safe and harmless. Harry's story started off when he's a kid and so the entire movie is a kids movie.

3 out of 5 stars

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

Considered the weakest of the series as it was in the books, it is at this point where things get a little darker. The performance of a CG Dobby was horrendous to look at, while the action and magic sequence were amped up a bit. It is at this point the producers should abandoned its usual formula for the first two for something fresh in order to keep the movie series alive.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

And thats what they did. This is what it needs to keep the series alive and fresh. A change of director and a change of tone. Because as the books gets darker and more mature, so does the movies. A change means a new design and visuals for the Harry Potter world and they're both brilliant. Even if you miss the first two movies, this is definitely a must-watch for people looking to get into Harry Potter.

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

Despite its silly and corny moments, this installment still retains the darker and mature tone from the previous movie. Adding some romantic and adolescent crush elements, it is the first to show realistic and relative images of teenage love and hormones in a Harry Potter story. You'll also see Rob Pattison as Cedric before his sparkly vampire days.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

Harry Potter is slowly becoming a badass. Fighting off dark and evil spirits and making out with hot Asian chicks. Damn he's a badass. And when a film gets darker and creepier, I mean it really gets darker. The color and tone is reducing to black and grey, blood and death are introduced without shyness and we get teenage anger and angst.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

Harry Potter fans will still be debating whether the movie series were faithful or not. But we all agree that the producers of the Harry Potter movies are doing a very good job, making the series very respectable and enjoyable to all ages. Even if this installment goes completely dark. There are more teenage romance hijinks and both plotlines sometimes do thread well together. It is a good thing the romance hijinks didn't absolutely go overboard and they were good to contrast the dark nature in the movie. We will be expecting a HUGE finale of the Harry Potter series.
