- You're a wizard, Harry!
- That whole storytelling scene was so immersive
and so well done.
That was probably my favorite part in the whole movie.
- I totally disagree.
- Hey guys, today we're ranking "Harry Potter" films.
- [Harry] Expecto patronum!
- I love "Harry Potter".
I've been a fan since, like, I was a child.
I've read all the books. I've seen all the movies.
I love it. It's very comforting to me.
- The Harry Potter films reflected where I was at
in my stage as a teenager.
- Whenever the movies would come out,
we would be at the same age as Harry Potter in his,
you know, his [Indistinct] best friends.
So it was really incredible.
- Oh. It's brilliant.
I wish they would do like a Sims Harry Potter world.
Like why does that not exist yet?
Why can we not live in a "Harry Potter" universe online?
- I honestly don't think there's been anything
like "Harry Potter" that has, like,
caught the attention of the world.
Like, I don't think--
"Hunger Games" fans, don't come for me,
but I just think "Harry Potter" was just that thing.
- Yeah. No, definitely.
There's nothing that has come close
and I don't think anything could, really.
The ranking style for this is gonna be
God tier, Okay tier, and Meh tier.
So let's get started.
- So we're gonna kick things off with the OG
"Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone".
- Without it, you don't have the "Harry Potter" franchise.
- He finds out he's a wizard.
- [Isha] "You're a wizard, Harry."
- [Nat] Then he's at Hogwarts, like, everything's happening.
- I think this is already God tier for me,
like, it's number one.
- I have to agree. I feel like it's such a magical moment,
even now whenever you watch the first one,
you're kinda taken back to that beginning
'cause you've got all this anticipation
after reading the book,
seeing it on the big screen was just absolutely phenomenal.
So it's God tier for me, as well.
- I just think that this one needs to be a God tier.
- I totally agree. Honestly, like, OG.
This is the one that I will go back to again and again.
Okay, so second film, "Chamber of Secrets".
I have to say, this is hands down,
my favorite one in the whole world.
Like I just think they nailed it.
Book to screen it was-
(Jules chef's kisses)
Impeccable.
- Professor Lockhart, like, just as a character.
Gilderoy Lockhart. What's the award he won?
Like "Witch Weekly's" most charming smile or something?
- Yes, like repetitive, just a win every time.
- The cast was still young, like,
they weren't teenagers yet. They weren't super annoying.
And like the mystery of it. The big fucking snake.
Like it all worked for me.
Like hands down, this for me is above the first one.
It's like Godly God tier.
- I don't think I would rate it God.
I don't think it's as good as the first one.
So for that reason, I'm gonna give it an Okay tier.
- I'm disappointed, Nat. I've got to say.
But you know, I respect your decision.
- You know what is good about
"The Chamber of Secrets" though?
You get to go to the burrow and you get to, like,
see all the Weasley's in, like, their original environment.
- Exactly.
- Like I think that's the highlight.
- It's great, the whomping willow. It's all happening.
I think you need to lift it.
I mean, we'll wait until the end of the series.
- And I guess you're introduced to, like,
the first horcrux, like, in the form of the diary,
you know.
- Yes. It, like, sets the whole scene.
Young Tom Riddle, like, he's sexy.
- I really love the last 30 minutes
'cause we get Tom Riddle.
♪ Beautiful ♪
- Can I sit it in the middle? Like I don't think it's God,
but I don't think it's Okay. It's like on the border.
- Okay, it's a border film. That's fine. I'll take that.
- It's a border film.
- It's not, like, up there with, like, the best ones,
so it'd have to be Okay for me.
- Yeah, I agree. It's in the middle.
- Yeah.
- So Okay tier for me, too.
- Okay, film number three,
"Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban".
There are a lot of opinions around this.
People say that this is the best book and the best film.
- This was, I think, the best translated book to movie.
- The only good thing about it is Sirius Black.
- Yes, Gary Oldman. God heavens, like, you saved that film.
I mean, I know he should've been younger,
so everybody's that's like,
"He should've only been in like his 20s or 30s",
I hear you, but Gary Oldman can do anything.
- [Isha] Also, it had Hermoine punching Draco out.
- Yes.
- I was so crushed by how bad this film was,
so for me, personally, I have to put it in Meh.
'Cause they really did it dirty.
- Yeah, I think I'm with you.
I think it's a bit of a Meh film.
- God tier, 100% on this one.
- I will have to say, though,
that the werewolf design was poorly executed.
I want, like, "Van Helsing" werewolves.
That's the only negative, but besides that, 10 out of 10.
- So now we've got the fourth movie, "The Goblet of Fire".
Another iconic book,
but was it translated well enough into the movie?
What do you think, Isha?
- As much as I hate to say it, like,
I love this movie when I was a kid
because it was so magical. I love seeing the other schools.
I love the whole, like, Triwizard Tournament.
But it just wasn't the best movie.
- Like I loved the book and I was slightly disappointed.
- This is a very, very pivotal moment
in the books and the films. Okay?
There's a lot that happens. Cedric Diggory comes in.
Love you Robert Pattinson.
(horns play triumphantly)
It just got so much wrong, like, the Triwizard cup.
Like creepy fuckin' "Ray" Fiennes.
Is that how you say Voldemort's name?
Like when he comes out in that cauldron and he's all, like--
Like it's just, he's such an over-actor.
Like Voldemort was not scary.
- It had a lot of Cho Chang crying, a lot.
And just being like, "Harry. Harry."
And just crying and weeping in the background.
Which was not her fault.
I mean, like, the character was kind of poorly written.
But, yeah, this movie, I'm gonna say it's Okay tier.
- Yeah, it's okay for me too, I think this one.
- Yeah. Sorry, "Goblet of Fire" fans.
- I'll put it in Okay because, like,
I laugh at various points in the film unintentionally,
but it wasn't God for me, it was just Okay.
- Look, I completely disagree. I love this film.
I really love this one.
And I think that, you know,
a lot of people would disagree with me,
but the Triwizard Tournament is one of the best events
in the whole series.
It is still one of my favorite films,
so I'm gonna give it a God tier.
- Wow, okay.
- Next one is "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix".
- I hate this film.
I do not know a single person who's like,
"You know what 'Harry Potter' film I wanna re-watch tonight?
'Order of Phoenix'".
It's like, fuck nobody wants to watch this. It's terrible.
- Okay, I just have to share a memory
and that is when my family and I went to go see this
in the movies, my dad fell asleep.
- Like you would watch this film and, like,
not have learned that much about the whole universe.
You'd just be like, "What happened?"
- Like very sad, obviously, when Sirius dies.
That is, like, a heartbreaking moment.
Danielle Radcliffe did that beautifully.
The scream, the torment, it's all happening.
But the rest of the film belongs in the bin.
- I reckon this is a Meh tier if I have to.
Yeah, one's gotta go there.
- Yeah, I mean considering the fact
that I really skip over it,
I'm gonna have to give this one a Meh tier, as well.
- This one's a very strong Meh.
- Yeah. Okay, so next up, "Half-Blood Prince".
- Harry's back on a quest.
- This was really good as well.
Like it had the whole back story with Draco and Snape.
- Dumbledore, like, you kinda get to know him a bit more.
And like you see Harry kind of
come into his own as a wizard.
- It was fun, like, there was humor.
- Oh no, wait. But Dumbledore dies.
- I feel like it didn't really impact me
in the movie when I first watched it.
And it still doesn't really impact me when I watch it.
Like, obviously, Dumbledore dying is, like,
such a huge moment, an iconic moment in these films.
- An emotional moment. Tears.
- I know. I just, I feel like the way that he died
was maybe too dramatic for me to feel it.
- I've gotta put it in God. Just 'cause the [Indistinct],
you know. It's such a fun ride.
Although, obviously very sad with Dumbledore dying,
but the rest, what a laugh.
- So I think, for me, great movie, but Okay tier.
- Would I put it God? Maybe not.
I think this is more an Okay for me.
- We're gonna put that one in Okay tier for me, as well.
- Film number seven, "Deathly Hallows Part 1".
- This is one of the final movies.
There was a lot of action,
but I felt like part one was kind of setting up
for part two, so it wasn't as good for me.
- Obviously not as good as part two, like--
- I totally disagree.
- For me, the most iconic part of this movie
is when they learn about the Deathly Hallows.
So that whole storytelling scene was so immersive
and so well done, that was probably my favorite part
in the whole movie.
- And then he betrays them, stabs them in the back.
- But it's not his fault. They got Luna.
That was really sad.
- Just wanted to be dramatic.
- It felt to me, like, a very, like,
character development film, which is probably nice,
but at the end of the day, it's "Harry Potter".
You're here for the action, you're here for the magic.
- Do not care for the angst with Ron being like,
"Wah, you hate me" and then coming back. Could do without.
But love that film.
Like the first half I think is really strong.
- Is there, like, a category we can do between God and Okay?
'Cause I feel like it fits into that. That little category.
It's not perfect, but it's not Okay.
- It's gotta be, like, on the border of God and Okay.
'Cause it's not phenomenal, but, you know, I enjoyed it.
- I would agree with you, like,
it's probably better than Okay, but it's not God.
Like it's a borderline.
- Out of the two, this would have to go into Okay for me.
That brings us to
"Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2".
- I just remember watching this in the cinema
and just crying. Like it was the end of my childhood,
you know. Like it was such a pivotal moment.
- But I hate the way the diverted from the book,
you know, which was so, like, simple in that
bam, Voldemort thinks he's killed Harry.
They take his body back.
Ah, he's alive and bam, he kills Voldemort.
- And it all came to, like, that final battle
between Voldemort and Harry.
- Let's finish this the way we started. Together.
- They turned it into this fucking CGI fest of,
you know, Voldemort and Harry flying through the sky
and they're all, like, interwoven.
- It just reached back into so many plot lines
that you would've forgotten throughout the films
and just wrapped it all up so beautifully in,
like, possible.
- Even the kiss with Ron and Hermoine felt like, to me,
it was wrong, that wasn't how it was meant to go.
- It's also, I have to say, my least re-watched one.
Only because I cry.
Like, Lupin, Tonks, everyone, all the faves,
just being killed. I can't handle it.
- Especially when he shows up when Harry's on his way
to meet Voldemort in the Forbidden Forest
and he tells him, like, it's fine that his death--
And I'm just, like,
I can't even talk about it.
- Do you need a moment?
- I'm already getting emotional.
- I know, like, need a moment here.
God tier, no more talk needed.
- Yeah.
- This might be controversial, but it's a Meh.
I don't re-watch it. I don't like it.
I pretend it doesn't exist.
- I think for me, it's an on the border film.
It's like, better than Okay, but it's not God.
- So Hameda, ready to find out who wins?
(drum roll begins)
- I'm so ready.
- Oh yeah, that's expected.
As we said, that's the first one. It's where it all started.
And it has the most memories, to me. So I'm happy it won.
- So good.
- Of course. Of course.
- Well deserved. I mean, it's brilliant.
It's also the shortest book.
They couldn't really fuck it up.
It's just, I mean, very hats off
because it's just the start of the series.
It's the love for everyone.
- [Nat] And it's the one that just anyone
can pick up and watch.
- Let us know what you want us to rank next.
Just comment it down below and we might do it in a video.
