BuzzJack Music Forum _ Movies and Theatre _ Round 1: Least Favourite Harry Potter Movie
Posted by: *Tim Jul 9 2015, 06:25 PM
(Excuse the messy photoshop job okay)
It's been long overdue but we are going to vote for our least favourite Harry Potter movie, if that is even possible.
Harry Potter is a series of seven fantasy novels written by British author J. K. Rowling. The series chronicles the adventures of a young wizard, Harry Potter, the titular character, and his friends Ronald Weasley and Hermione Granger, all of whom are students at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The main story arc concerns Harry's quest to overcome the Dark wizard Lord Voldemort, who aims to become immortal, conquer the wizarding world, subjugate non-magical people, and destroy all those who stand in his way, especially Harry Potter.
It went from being called a childsbook by publishers to becoming one of the most iconic brands and film series ever. To this day it still has a huge cult following and I fully believe that without Harry, there would be no Katniss, Tris, Percy or Thomas.

This was so so hard for me as I adore all of them, but the first movies are inferior to the later ones.
Chamber Of Secrets is my least fave and once Philosopher's Stone leaves this is going to be impossible for me

Gonna have to go with Deathly Hallows for this based on the fact I haven't actually seen it

Half-Blood Prince for me because nothing really happens until the end. I would say I like the style of the first two films the least (and obviously the kid acting) but I do like the stories of both and they are a good introduction to the wonder of the wizarding world as well as the darkness of the series.
Also I have no idea who Tris, Percy and Thomas are.
Posted by: *Tim Jul 9 2015, 06:35 PM
Tris from Divergent, Percy from Percy Jackson the lightning thief and Thomas from Maze Runner
Gosh froot, even bigger floppage than I expected

Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince.
It had a great build up, and we get some good info - but I agree with Froot nothing really happens. In the book there is an AMAZING battle, but it was cut from the films.

Not floppage if no one cares about those movies though
Posted by: *Tim Jul 9 2015, 06:40 PM
Tris: $288,747,895 and $295,212,303
Percy: $226,497,209 and $199,850,315
Thomas: $340,750,640
Still your floppage

Pitiful numbers
Posted by: Chez Wombat Jul 9 2015, 06:42 PM
Philosopher's Stone. I can't really take it seriously, it's too twee and not on the same level as the others. Needs to go soon-ish.
Half Blood Prince is probably the weakest of post-Chamber of Secrets Potter but it's not that bad 
Posted by: *Tim Jul 9 2015, 06:44 PM
I could say the same about you but let me not stoop down to your level
Posted by: Cody Slayberry Jul 9 2015, 06:45 PM
Totall agree with Harry Potter being the forefront for teen literature-based movies (Twilight saga, PJO, Hunger Games, Maze Runner, Divergent, etc.)
Gonna go with Half-Blood Prince since I slept though part of that movie.

Chamber of Secrets, though any of the first 3 leaving would be fine. They are all 'fine' movies but I think the rest are all very good to great. I even love Half Blood Prince because it works brilliantly as a build up to what was about to be unleashed in the final two. Indeed it's one of the ONLY times I've truly loved a 'middle act' movie in any franchise.
Posted by: *Tim Jul 9 2015, 06:56 PM
I cannot deal with Halfblood prince leaving already. Dumbledore's death alone ups that movie above the first 2.
One of the few times when a human character dies that my eyes started to water

It's so hard, my gut is telling me that Prisoner of Azkhaban is the weakest but even that's still great 
Posted by: Ninjabait Jul 9 2015, 07:05 PM
I'm going to have to go with Half-Blood Prince. Nothing important really happens until the end, and the movie could get a bit wangsty.
Still a pretty good movie, but probably my least favorite Harry Potter film.

Half Blood Prince for me although it is very hard to pick a fault out of these films.

Erm 3 4 and 5 are the holy trinity of Harry Potter movies so why are they getting votes
Posted by: dhwe Jul 9 2015, 07:33 PM
It's actually GoF for me, followed by HBP. GoF's definitely the one I return to least anyway. I guess it doesn't matter as it looks like HBP's going this round, but yeah I agree with what everyone says about HBP. The problem for me is that there were basically two ongoing plots in the film (the main plot re: the Horcruxes and the romantic subplot), and they made no attempt in somehow making both relevant to each other (though I don't know how much that's the fault of the film vs. the book). The stuff re: Ron/Lavender was good for comic relief and nothing more and they should've minimized as much of it as possible in favor of the main threads of the film re: Malfoy's plan and the potions book. Instead it just set up this contradictory mood between light-hearted rom-com and suspense re: Malfoy's shenanigans. And when Snape makes his big reveal as the Half-Blood Prince at the end, it's just like: "K."

Deathly Hallows Part I or should I call it Part Yawn.
Posted by: Totto Jul 9 2015, 09:48 PM
I Can't honestly remember what happens in which.

Sometimes I really do fear for your mental wellbeing
Posted by: Totto Jul 9 2015, 10:02 PM
Haha, no shade, I just can't. I love the movies !
But I can't tell which exactly is my least favourite movie 
Posted by: Jonjo Jul 9 2015, 10:13 PM
'Half Blood Prince' should not be going in place of the first two films
Posted by: ♡ Heezus Froot ♡ Jul 10 2015, 09:06 AM
This is going to be SO hard later on. Half-blood Prince for now.
Posted by: Leonardo Jul 12 2015, 05:22 PM
Deathly Hallows, Part I - Doesn't work at all as a stand alone.
Posted by: PaulM1983 Jul 12 2015, 05:40 PM
Chamber Of Secrets for me. How 3-6 could have any votes so far is beyond me.
Posted by: P@ul Jul 13 2015, 04:08 PM
I voted Prisoner OF Askaban as it felt like it was directed differently to the rest and lacked atmosphere but maybe that was because it was the only one I didn't see in the cinema..
Also Order Of The Pheonix wasn't as great, I remember going to it for like my 10th birthday it not being as good as I expected..
Posted by: PaulM1983 Jul 13 2015, 04:48 PM
Oh my god. Prisoner might be my favourite, apart from Deathly Hallows 2. It's beautifully shot, dark and really sets the tone for the rest of the movies. If I'm not mistaken, it's also the best reviewed movie of them all (maybe apart from the last one). I watched it again not long ago, after not having seen it for a couple of years, and it was even better than I remembered. Gorgeous movie.

Well the director of Prisoner Of Azkaban didn't direct any of the others so you may be on to something
There are a lot of things I like about POA, the hippogriffs, the time travel, the dementors, but it attracted my vote as I feel I enjoyed the others more (which just speaks for the quality of the entire series).
Posted by: Joe. Jul 13 2015, 08:51 PM
Prisoner of Azkaban was a big moment for the films upon release. It was the first one to receive huge critical acclaim. It was a lot more adult and moody and generally changed the tone of the films for good. It was also the first time where the three leads showed they were improving with their acting.
That being said I never quite warmed to it, I don't know why - it has a fantastic director, something felt slightly lacking in the climax, I think.
Posted by: *Tim Jul 13 2015, 09:05 PM
Hermione's punch alone makes that movie a lot better than the first 2
Posted by: *Tim Jul 16 2015, 02:24 PM
This closes TONIGHT!
Posted by: Joe. Jul 16 2015, 02:39 PM
TIMMY, I have my guns wand out for the next round. Professor Quirrel is going DOWN.
Posted by: *Tim Jul 16 2015, 02:45 PM
Oh henny no, it's the basilic ha time to leave

Half Blood Prince for me
Posted by: JSG Jul 16 2015, 07:09 PM
The 3rd film was my least fave followed by the first two but the last five were amazing
