Number three, without a shadow of doubt. It changed from a young child's tale & was easily the most intelligently made film out of the seven.

I would vote for Azkaban but this error and failed making time travel ruined movie. They just failed this.

I love The Half-Blood Prince because its darker and everything looks so good. Also cinematography made this movie best.

The last one (Deathly Hallows: Part II that is) is by far the best. It's so much more eventful and exciting than the others, which all drag at some point.

Well personally i voted for Goblet of Fire, cause it's exciting, emotional and dark

Love the story and the atmosphere of the film

My least favorite film is the Order of the Phoenix, cause it's the biggest book and one of the shortest of the films, it didn't feel like it included everything from the book.

Also not a big fan of the Prisoner of Azkaban & Chamber of Secrets

The Prisoner of Azkaban. I liked that more people from the Potters' background got involved like Sirius Black and Lupin(who is my favorite Defense against the Dark Arts teacher). Also, the protagonist trio aged a little so it didn't feel like a full-kids movie.

I also liked the Order of the Phoenix and pretty much every movie that Hermione Granger was a teenager and more woman-ly. ;)

Goblet of fire for me. The movie was really good and i could relate easily because i was at a similar age when it came out. The Darker tone worked for me.

Worst was The order of the phoenix. Longest book but the movie missed out on SOOOOOOOOOO many parts.

I'm torn between the chamber of secrets and prisoner of Azkaban. I enjoyed these two movies so freaking much. I'm not sure if they were really that good or whether they were just released at the right time of my life.

I enjoyed the series much more when Harry and his friends were just a bunch of kids running around Hogwarts. Awwwww :(

Hallows Part 1 no votes yet oh. I voted for Part 2 probably because I got enthralled with the gfx/cgi effects and there was more action in it than Part 1.

Goblet of Fire. They're older but the movies have yet to turn dark.

The tone for the first 4 is my favorite. I ultimately didn't like how the movies felt in 5,6, and 7 Part 1. The only time that the darker tone really worked was in 7 Part 2. One of those five films would be my favorite.

It is hard for me to pick just one as my favorite, I will have to give this some thought.

Big fan of the series but the ones I find myself going back to are the 3rd, 4th and 6th movie. The 3rd movie in particular changed and set the tone for the series going forward and that one is probably my favorite one.

The Prisoner of Azkaban, it went downhill after that. The Prisoner of Azkaban streamlined the story but made up for it with the beautiful direction....the rest of the movies just tore the books to shreds, it was disgusting.

The second and fourth movies were the best.

The first and the third were OK.

The rest was rubbish.

Goblet of Fire was my favorite because it was fast paced and had the most humor.

Yeah, they left out a lot. All the movies from Goblet of Fire on are awful if you compare them to the books, but a movie is a different form of entertainment from a book.

The first two movies were the best since they were pretty close to the books. The four that David Yates did was also very good.

My favorite book was Prisoner, but Cuaron just messed the movie up, there were so many plot points changed or just left out.

Half blood prince due to the fact that it felt like it fucking slowed things down a bit. Every movie before that seemed to be progressively faster in every scene and rarely stopped to let the audience take in what was happening (though there was a scene in movie 3 when it was just Harry and Lupin talking on a bridge, it kinda let you breath a bit) by movie 5 it was just out of control.

It's a bit hard to discuss a series favorite when I can't help, but feel each movie was good yet simultaneously a let down.

Never watched past 3 because the books weren't that great after that, but 3 was by far the best of the first three.

I enjoyed The Prisoner of Azkaban, most of the Potter films do miss out certain parts that were in the books but never mentioned in the movies
