Feb 3, 2022 · Published Feb 3, 2022. The Half-Blood Prince is the turning point that sets the stage for the grand finale, and its uniqueness makes it the best Harry Potter film. It is quite difficult to pick a favorite out of the eight Harry Potter films, especially given that most of them are very different in scope and scale and deal with different stakes ...

Directed by Chris Columbus
At 161 minutes, Chamber of Secrets is the longest film of the Harry Potter franchise, and perhaps not-so-coincidentally, it’s also the last film to try and fit (almost) everything from the book into the movie. Director Chris Columbus expands on the world he built so beautifully in the first film with a slightly darker and much more plot-heavy sequel, and while the film isn’t bad per se, it’s definitely the most laborious of the bunch. Though it’s certainly too long and meanders in places, the...

It’s tough to judge a film that is self-admittedly half a story, but since it’s presented as a separate entry in the Harry Potter series, Deathly Hallows – Part 1 must be evaluated as such. Book readers had their issues with the walkabout nature of the first half of the final book, so many were bracing for a somewhat sluggish film adaptation of those initial chapters. And while Deathly Hallows – Part 1 is mightily compelling for the first hour or so (seeing these characters out and about in t...

It was with Goblet of Fire that the Harry Potter novels took their big first step towards adulthood, expanding not only in size but also in scope. Director Mike Newell likewise rises to the challenge of introducing a Wizarding World much larger than Hogwarts while also giving the franchise its first major onscreen appearance of Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes). It’s in between these two heavy tasks, though, that Newell really shines, as he picks up Prisoner of Azkaban’s theme of burgeoning adolescen...

While it may not be as flashy, refined, or impressive as the rest of the films in the franchise, Sorcerer’s Stone (or Philosopher’s Stone for the Potter purists) deserves immense credit for setting up this series so wonderfully and laying a fantastic foundation on which the other films could be built. Director Chris Columbus was not only responsible for putting together the incredible cast, but he also captured the Wizarding World on film in a manner that felt relatable and wholly transfixing...
Directed by David Yates
In what would mark the final director change for the series, David Yates makes his debut with the politically-tinged Order of the Phoenix. The film also happens to be the only Harry Potter movie not written by Steve Kloves (Michael Goldenberg took on scripting duties when Kloves declined to return, though he quickly changed his mind and was back for Half-Blood Prince), but the team forged on to craft the most adult entry yet. Yates deftly navigates themes of power and corruption through the w...

David Yates’ second brush with the franchise finds him navigating material that’s both some of the series’ lightest and darkest, as Half-Blood Prince is certainly the funniest film of the franchise, with Yates and the cast reveling in romantic-comedy territory throughout much of the story. Jim Broadbent brings a goofy quality to Professor Slughorn that never goes over the top, while Harry and Ron’s many brushes with romance provide loads of comedic material, culminating in the guffaw-inducing...

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1 was nearly all setup, but Deathly Hallows – Part 2 hits the ground running from the first frame and never lets up. This is a movie that offers payoff in every sense: emotional payoff, action payoff, and relationship payoff. David Yates had the unenviable task of wrapping up the most popular film franchise since Star Wars in a way that would satisfy even the most rabid of fans, and he absolutely sticks the landing with the most challenging film...

Jul 12, 2009 · Radcliffe's Potter is sturdy and boring, as always; it's not easy being the hero with a supporting cast like this. Michael Gambon steals the show as Dumbledore, who for a man his age certainly has some new tricks, so to speak, up his sleeve. I admired this Harry Potter. It opens and closes well, and has wondrous art design and cinematography as ...
