McClure777 Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 I am not a huge fan of the movies, the books i love with a passion, the movies how ever could have been far better. I only liked the first two, the films alone are excellent, and then when the deleted scenes are added, they get even better. I liked the final two-part 7th film, David Yates i believe directed it, well he did a really good job with what they gave him. I like the first two better because they added alot more of the books into the films, making it more cannon, and for me and others, more enjoyable. Go ahead and answer the poll honestly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabretooth Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 I think the only ones I've watched are the first three and I thought they were alright popcorn fare at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 ^Yeah, that's how I would describe them. The first movie provides a terrific example of just how badly John Williams needs to retire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ctrl Alt Del Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 I'm a lot more demanding than you then, seeing as how I disliked all of the movies. I only watched the first three anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Advocate Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 I like them all, but I prefer the films after Chris Columbus left. There's just something about the first two that doesn't appeal to me as much as the later ones do, I just don't know what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexrd Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 I'm a lot more demanding than you then, seeing as how I disliked all of the movies. I only watched the first three anyway. I'm sure that if I hadn't read the books at the time, I would hardly care about any of the movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p8ntball Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Eh, the first 4 I would say. Downhill after those Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Doctor Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Eh, the first 4 I would say. Downhill after those The third movie was an insult. I can't conceive of any rational being believing otherwise. I also feel the first two were the best movies, but I also enjoyed the sixth as well.

GeneralPloKoon Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 I love all the movies, and the books. Personally the third film is my favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HK-42 Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 I love the books and the movies are good entertainment but now that I have branched out in reading and watching movies I see how they are not that amazing compared to other literature. I grew up with Harry Potter so I'll always like it but compared to things like Lord of the Rings, A Song of Ice and Fire, and many classic novels they are substandard.

Pho3nix Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Eh, they're all pretty decent. Should re-read the books sometime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miltiades Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 I quite liked the later movies. They're not amazing, but I think they do the books justice. Actually wasn't much a fan of the first two and the fourth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferc Kast Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 I read and love all the books as they were released. (I was only a young'un when I first read Harry Potter as part of a reading class, I believe.) I also saw and enjoy all the films adaptations. The books are in my top 3 favorite series and the movies are in my top 5 series/movies. Currently, I still enjoy to see the movies and now enjoy reading the e-books on my iPod touch.

TKA-001 Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 I've only seen the last two (and read the first book in between), and I thought they were pretty good. Can't speak for any of the others, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexrd Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 I think the first two not only are more faithful to the books, but have no plotholes (small or big). The same can't be said about the rest. It's expected to cut many parts of the books, but at least cut the whole subplot, and not put just part of it and leave the audience guessing (it didn't happen to me because I've read the books, but it's easy to notice). A movie based on a book should be able to stand alone and not be dependable of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
