I think the beauty of lists like these and being on KZfaq is that I can completely disagree with Cody and still have a tremendous amount of respect for him and his opinions.

I love listening to someone who isn't a fan of the franchise ranking the movies, it's refreshing. You should do this for the Hunger Games movies, especially with the new one on the way.

I am a Chamber Of Secrets guy. I like the "murder" mystery plot. It was the first film I saw in the Harry Potter series and I've always liked it since. I liked Tom Riddle and his actor. It was nice seeing a young Voldemort and Radcliffe really 100% comes into his own as Harry in that movie. I like Aragog and the Basilisk and the way Ron and Harry discover how the basilisk moved through Hogwarts. And it introduces Dobby... enough said.

I guess the reason the Malfoy's were not put in Azkaban is because Draco's mom saved Harry and lied to Voldemort about him being dead.

Easily my favorite KZfaq channel because of how different Cody’s opinions are.. definitely fond of this video….. GREAT work

GOF is also my no.1, it’s got an epic, adventure feel and has the most intrigue imo as you wonder how Harry is gonna survive each task. Fully agree on COS being redundant too and POA to a degree. GOF is really when things gets serious (and i’ve still not even seen HBP or DH). I got into the films without ever reading the books, and I think GOF ranks high for that audience. Book fans probably rank it lower for not including certain scenes from the book they wanted to see.

Very refreshing to hear a unique perspective. Ty for this love it!

I’ve been asking for this vid from you for the longest time now. The Harry Potter films are dear to my heart and I’m really interested of seeing what Cody, a casual Harry Potter watcher that usually have the exact taste in movies as me, have to say on them

You’ve done it again, Cody. ONCE AGAIN, your ranking is a perfect match to mine! 😊 I love it. Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire was always my favorite!! The international prospect, the dragons, the mermaids with that underwater sequence, that teacher with the weird eye being the enemy all along, seeing Voldamort and his return to the world-I could go on and on! Great ranking! I really enjoyed this and I can’t wait for the 31 on 31 ranking video!! It’s gonna be good! Two thimbs up! 🤗🤗🤗👍🏽👍🏽

Oooo fun! I was just thinking I was wanting to see someone rank these.

Love your videos & your insight , keep it up Cody

Great reviews as always, Could never get into these movies but I know they are a big thing for a lot of people

So glad you finally were able to see all the original Harry Potter films! I’ve been a huge fan of the books & films since I was 9. Almost all of these original films are amazing which is unbelievable how 8 films didn’t seem to go downhill at all. Thanks for the review!

Cool to see that I’m not the only one who likes Goblet the best! The last third of the movie with Voldemort’s resurrection is the most dramatic, dark, intense scene in the whole franchise.

Here to show support! Keep up the good work.

Love to see you do this Cody let’s go

I love that you mentioned the PS1 game that went with the first movie. That and the Chamber of Secrets game were both very fun and I rarely hear people talk about them. So that was very appreciated.

Great content, Cody.

Thanks Cody, finally some love for Goblet of Fire!!

Beauty of a list, goblet of fire has always been my favorite for the same reasons, I always agree with your rankings hense why your my fav channel

this is why you’re my favorite KZfaqr, you tell everything about how you feel and don’t give a shit about the reactions if they are assholes about it. i feel exactly the same about the goblet of fire and was like “holy shit!!, Voldemort is here.” and then they just kinda ignore it after. keep up the great work brother.

Nice video bro

Harry Potter is a very consistent series imo. No really bad films.

Harry Potter and The Fire is my number 1 too Cody, What a great poster you picked for it too!

Great reviews. A few weeks ago I mentioned to a group of people that Goblet of Fire was one of my favorites and they literally laughed at me, saying it was one of the worst movies of the series. I was baffled, and unaware it had this reputation in the HP community but I couldn't disagree more. The Triwizard tournament is where it's at.

That fucked up poster for “Harry Potter and the Fire” is so funny 🤣🤣 I saw it and was surprised to not find any comments on it

The thing is Ron and Ginny got shafted as far as characterization goes with Hermione getting boosted . Ron had a lot of book only moments and lines that showcase how smart he is and Ginny was really witty and snarky .

This Is a completely different list from what I would rank the franchise but that's what makes these videos so fun and interesting.

Goblet of Fire has always been one of my fave entries in this franchise, super underrated and underappreciated!

Yes!! Goblet of Fire is also my number one. Props to you for ranking this series. HP fans can be very…um… “upset” with other people whose opinions differ from their own. Well done.

Broooooooo as soon as your 3rd and 2nd spot came up I got happy because goblet of fire has been my favorite since I first saw it in the theater. Everyone always tells me it's so dark and that's why they don't like it but that's where these movies turned for me especially as a horror fan. Just an amazing film.

I agree with your #1. It's for sure my favorite. Great video

Couldn’t agree more with this ranking! Most people have the same movies ranked in the same order it’s nice to see something completely different with different takes.

🔥🔥ranking before easter festivities 🔥

Lupin was a good DODA teacher but in the books it’s pointed out that the position of DODA had been cursed since Dumbledor refused the position to Voldernort

I really appreciate GOF being on the top of your list cause for me being a die hard fan of Harry Potter this ones always been close to being my favorite one I also felt that this one was the most different one of the series

Good stuff lad

As a long time HP fan, I feel like this is actually a pretty agreeable list! The ones towards the bottom are generally what people dislike the most, and the top few tend to be the favorites!

Goblet of fire was my favorite too. Seemed like a good balace of tone and feel of first 2 films and the darkness of the later films with a lot of fun fantasy and yet serious dark events in it.

Amazing video as always! As a big fan of the books and films, I agree on Prisoner of Azkaban and Order of the Phoenix, although Goblet of Fire is simply an unfaithful yet entertaining adaptation of the book. Regarding the Malfoys, although none went to Azkaban, Draco and Narcissa at different times both lied and saved Harry, while the unredeemed Lucius suffered what to him was a worse fate than death or prison: the loss of his social status.

Great list! I'm really looking forward to this 31, I feel like this list is gonna be all over the place. I also have a lot of nostalgia for this series, I also have some thanks to this series cause it got me to read. I haven't seen the latest Fantasic Beasts, but I have seen all the others, so here's my ranking. 10. Fantasic Beasts & the Crimes of Grindlewald 9. Fantasic Beasts & Where to Find Them 8. Harry Potter & Half Blood Prince 7. Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows part 1 6. Harry Potter & The Order of the Phoenix 5. Harry Potter & The Prisoner of Azkaban 4. Harry Potter & The Sorcerer's Stone 3. Harry Potter & The Goblet of Fire 2. Harry Potter & The Chamber of Secrets 1. Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows part 2 I'm with you on Goblet of Fire, I think that movie is great and it's a pretty good adaptation. It's also where I discovered my boy Robert Pattinson. Thank you Cody, I hope you enjoy LOTR too.

Long time Harry Potter fan and Hufflepuff here. Thanks for giving your unique perspective! Welcome to the Wizarding World Cody!

I totally understand your number 1 choice, Cody. I grew up with the Harry Potter franchise and when I saw "Goblet of Fire" in cinemas, it blew me away like none of those movies had done before - and I knew the books actually, meaning I was aware of the major plot points. Regarding it as a movie, I also think it's more or less the Harry Potter movie with the best pacing. It's insanely energetic and gripping, after the exposition leading up to the tournament and thus the main plot, there is almost no scene that doesn't directly move forward the story. Voldemort coming back to his physical form is also one of the most intense moments in the franchise. And so full of impact, after seeing the movie, you really have this feeling that the wizarding world has changed. I actually regarded "The Order of the Phoenix" as my favorite Harry Potter movie for quite a time. Not so sure anymore about this, I guess it would be "Deathly Hallows Pt. 2" by now, but I still like that movie a lot too. The only thing still bugging me is literally the plot about the prophecy. Why would Voldemort have to know that he has to kill Harry in order to survive? Killing Harry is one of his main goals anyways. And on the other hand, why is Harry so surprised to learn that eather he has to kill Voldemort or the other way round? How would he have imagined the "relationship" between him and Voldemort to end? I don't really blame the movie for this though, didn't find many sense in this already while reading the book.

Thanks, Cody! Your input helped me resolve why I rank Prisoner of Azkaban low on my own list despite how universally beloved it is. Glad to know I'm not alone!

brooo seeing the first harry potter in theaters was wild. it was so packed we sat on the floor in the theater. this was before reserved seating and my family was DEEP lmao what a memory

I love Harry Potter & the Goblet of Fire as well Cody Leach I agree with all your points Harry fighting the dragon as the first challenge was amazing one of my favorite scenes in the franchise...

my experience with this franchise is almost identical to yours right down to reading the first book and fourth grade and not revisiting it for years. I did see the third one in theaters when it was new but it was the only one I went to the theater and so and I didn't see any of the other ones until about 2 years ago and I did a binge watch and marathoned them with my fiance and I genuinely enjoyed a couple of them

You and Sean are my favorite reviewers. Which is great to hear two different rankings, however the opiniona are usually the same so it kinda sucks to hear the repeat xD. Not complaining but ya lol. Keep up the great work!

I love The Goblet of Fire. Always been my favorite and I definitely find it to be the most exciting!

The Deathly Hallows Part 2 gave me chills so many times. I have to put it at #1. It’s interesting to see your point of view having not read the rest of the books. For example, many fans love the Goblet of Fire book but absolutely hate the movie. Also, the relationship between Ginny and Harry is infinitely better in the books than the movies; the movies are so fucking awkward. One exception to the books being better is The Order of the Phoenix, basically because of the ministry battle and Sirius Black’s attitude. In the end, we worship the source material so any differences piss us off lol

Thank you for actually putting goblet of fire high!

I love these movies and every time I ask someone who also likes them what their favourite is, they’d always say POA, but I never really saw it, for me it’s HBP - but POA is an important film direction for the rest of the series because they decided to do the films from this point onwards with a Harry Potter point of view and leave out the rest of the details, which i think is the best direction they could gone in

This wasn’t a bad list at all, brother! Especially being ut first watch. Harry Potter have always been one of my favourite franchises. Every Christmas, Harry Potter is on. So much nostalgi. Goblet of fire is almost my favourite. Would put DH Part 2 and Azkaban in my top 3. But each to its own ranking! Can’t fuckin wait for 31 on 31.

GOF was always my favorite one because the tournament always made it the stand-out movie in the franchise. I’ve seen all of the HP movies, but never read any of the books. My childhood reading was Goosebumps,

Loved seeing your ranking and opinions! This is probably one of my favorite franchises of all time and I’ve read all the books when I was younger as well. Also totally agree with Goblet of Fire being the best! It’s my number one! I don’t get the hate of Goblet of Fire but it’s one that a lot of people don’t like as much. ( I think because many parts of the book weren’t included or not adapted to how people thought it should be). My ranking: (haven’t seen fantastic beast movies) 1. Goblet of Fire 2. Deathly hallows pt 2 3. Sorcerer stone 4. Chamber of secrets 5. Prisoner of Azkaban 6. Order of the Phoenix & half blood prince (tie) 7. Deathly hallows pt 1 I also saw the first movie when it came out in theaters and I remember how big it was. My entire family went to see it

Omg…im shocked Cody!!!! Lol I really thought you and I would have the same number one, which for me is The Half blood prince. I think the dumbledore getting killed scene is iconic. I think HP 1 has the most ICONIC lines that everyone knows the series for. I also agree HP 4 is when we see a death for the first time and it changed the tone of the movies moving forward.

The graveyard scene at the end of Goblet is just iconic. My favorite introduction to a villain...possibly ever on film. I hope one day you listen to the books on audible or something because the detail JK puts into the Wizarding world is what makes it so great. It's my favorite Fandom. My ranking of the films: 1. Chamber of Secrets-almost identical to the book and darker tone with the same spirit of the original 2. Sorcerors Stone-Magical introduction to the world and spot on to the book. 3. Deathly Hallows Part 2-expect the ending battle with Voldemort and Harry in the courtyard. The book scene was in the Great Hall in front of all of Hogwarts with more exposition. 4. Goblet of Fire-awesome action and the graveyard scene 5. Order of the Phoenix-screw Umbridge 🤣 (amazing acting 👏 👌) Also Helena as Bellatrix is fckng perfect casting. 6. Half Blood Prince-I will never forgive them butchering Voldemorts backstory which is my favorite part of the whole series. HBP is my favorite book as well. Ginny in the films is not nearly as interesting or believable as Harry's love interest than she is in the books 7. Prisoner of Azkaban-good cinematography and introduction to sirius but drastic tone difference. Also they forgot Harry finally winning the Quiddich Cup from the book. 8. Deathly Hallows Part 1: it's a heavy tone and all exposition. 9. Crimes of Grindelwald: Young Dumbledore and Depp as Grindelwald were great. 10. Fantastic Beasts: Newt is not nearly entertaining enough to me to build a franchise on but it was a welcome addition back into the world.

If anyone loves these movies and hasn’t read the books, maybe because that is daunting for you then I’d suggest starting a free trail on audible and you can get the first book in there for free (or any of the books) if you have Amazon prime you can get an extra book for free too, Stephen fry is a great narrator for them

Totally agree with the Goblet of Fire. My favorite as well!

Literally just started watching Harry Potter…. I’m just about to start deathly hallows, I’m really surprised. I absolutely love it, like you I’m not a big fantasy guy never liked lords of the rings or anything else really in that genre but Man I love these! Respect your opinion all the same

This is my favorite or my second favorite movie franchise of all time, and u might be my favorite KZfaqr of all time. I’m so happy u got to rank them, and for the most part I agree except with some exceptions. 1. Deathly Hallows Part 2 (S) 2. Order of the Phoenix (S) 3. Prisoner of Azkaban (A+) 4. Secrets of Dumbledore (A+) 5. Half Blood prince (A+) 6. Goblet of Fire (A+) 7. Sorcerers Stone (A) 8. Chamber of Secrets (B) 9. Fantastic beasts and where to find them (B) 10. Deathly Hallows Part 1 (C) 11. The crimes of grindlewald (D) As you can see I pretty much love most of them because the consistency is just so damn strong to me. And I will definitely be in the minority with secrets of dumbledore but I genuinely loved loved that film Here’s my book ranking 1. Order of the phoenix (S) 2. Goblet of Fire (S) 3. Half Blood Prince (A+) 4. Prisoner of Azkaban (A+) 5. Chamber of Secrets (A) 6. Deathly Hallows (B) 7. Sorcerers Stone (B)

8: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince 7: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire 6: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone 5: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets 4: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 3: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban 2: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix 1: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2

11. Crimes of Grindelwald 10. Half Blood Prince 9. Deathly Hallows Pt.1 8. Where to Find Them 7. Goblet of Fire 6. Secrets of Dumbledore 5. Sorcerer's Stone 4. Prisoner of Azkaban 3. Chamber of Secrets 2. Deathly Hallows Pt.2 1. Order of the Phoenix

Goblet of Fire was my favorite of the books but what made the movie fall short for me was how much time was spent on the prom. Substantially more than what the book does.

Cody, was the fake poster for Goblet of Fire intentional? Because I laughed my ass off, I loved it 🔥🔥🔥

I love that you didn't grow up with these movies so your list would be vastly different! For me, I consider the Fantastic Beasts movies ancillary to the Potter ones, so they go at the bottom, but as I haven't seen Secrets of Dumbledore yet, I'd go: 1. The Prisoner of Azkaban 2. The Chamber of Secrets 3. The Sorcerer's Stone 4. The Deathly Hallows Part 1 5. The Order of the Phoenix 6. The Half-Blood Prince 7. The Deathly Hallows Part 2 8. The Goblet of Fire 9. The Crimes of Grindelwald 10. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them

I wish you'd do a review on all the movies with your positives and negatives

It's nice to finally see someone who's favorite HP movie is also the Goblet of Fire. That's been my favorite one ever since I saw the movies and people always thought I was crazy lol

Askaban is my favorite and a CLOSE 2nd is Deathly Hallows Part 2 for how epic it is and I don’t feel like they shit the bed which is rare with these franchises especially a franchise I got to see as they came out. Very surprised to see Goblet up there but pretty awesome that you liked it that much!

I watched all films but the deathly hallows pt 1 and 2 until like 2 days ago and I can definitely say sorcerer’s stone, goblet of fire and deathly hallows pt2 are my top 3 now! Sorcerers stone just gives me that nostalgia feel lol

Switch Chamber of Secrets with Half Blood Prince and your ranking is the same as mine (Order of the Phoenix and Goblet of Fire swap around for me depending on when you ask). I read the books long after watching the movies so I was never influenced by them, however my nostalgia pick has always been Order of the Phoenix and quite honestly I can’t explain why - it was just always my goto and I think the first one I picked up with my own money on DVD on release day

I think the reason Goblet is ranked so low among fans who have read the books, is because we know what could have been compared to what we got. We didn't get an epic quidditch world cup match nor an epic task 3 maze scene. Dobby's scenes from the book were given to Neville for the film. Dobby is featured heavily in the book series but is only in the second film making his death in DH1 incredibly underwhelming. Other completely cut characters and important story lines such as Winky, Ludo Bagman, and Barty Crouch, Rita Skeeter, and the Weasleys. They completely ruined the mystery of the movie by showing Barty jr at the very beginning of the movie and threw in nonsensical scenes like Karkaroff sneaking into the great hall and closing the door just to create a red herring 🙄 even though the audience was shown barty jr at the beginning. Also the infamous misrepresentation of characters. "DID YA PUT UR NAME IN THE GOBLET OF FIYAHHHH!!!" And miscast characters, Moody, Fleur. It it is the least true adaptation from the books other than HPB but that one is forgivable in my opinion because it is shot, scored, and acted so well.

Pretty much agree with most of your opinions. Great to see you rank the Wizarding world movies. My movie rankings are as follows: 8)Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire 7)Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince 6)Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 5)Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets 4)Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone 3)Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban 2)Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 1)Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Book Rankings are : 7)Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets 6)Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban 5)Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone 4) Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix 3) Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows 2)Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince 1) Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. My no 1 book matches with your no 1 film.

My list 10: Fantastic Beasts 2 9: Fantastic Beasts 8: Chamber of Secrets 7: Philosopher’s Stone 6: Deathly Hallows Part 1 5: Prisoner of Azkaban 4: Order of the Phoenix 3: Goblet of Fire 2: Half-Blood Prince 1: Deathly Hallows Part 2 I love the books too

Great list! It's a toss up for me between TDHP2 and TGOF. I didn't like the goblet of fire at all when I first saw it and it has ended up being one of my favorites. Strongly agree.

I'm surprised goblet of fire isn't a popular one, my top 3 from 1 to 3 is deathly hallows part 2 I just love the wrap up and the emotion, the prisoner of Azkaban because I love the way its directed and I love the time travel sequence, then goblet of fire because I agree it's probably the most exciting one from beginning to end.

Goblet of fire is my fav HP movie too and people always wonder why. Finally someone gets it

24:20 Harry Potter and the fire😂😂 he should probably put that out all jokes aside

1 Goblet of Fire 2 Deathly Hallows part 1 3 Prisoner of Azkaban 4 Deathly Hallows Part 2 5 Chamber of Secrets 6 Sorcerer's Stone 7 Order of the Phoenix 8 Half Blood Prince

Cody, love your ranking videos! You surprise me & I enjoy hearing your reasons for picks. I’ve always liked HP4 but remember even my mom (big reader who binge read the books) said the book was much better. Love these movies & my rankings could vary weekly but: HP4 - Goblet of Fire HP8 Deathly Hallows pt2 HP7 Deathly Hallows pt 1 HP6 - Half Blood Prince HP2 - Chamber of Secrets HP1 - Sorcerer‘s Stone HP3 - Prisoner of Azkaban HP5 - Order of the Phoenix I loved Sirius even though you wouldn’t know it from this ranking!

Upon my last rewatching of the Harry Potter movies, Goblet of Fire became the one I enjoyed the most for a bunch of reasons It might not be faithful to aspects of the book but as a movie it works a lot for me with the world building, the visuals, character dynamics, the proper introduction to what Voldemort will look like for the rest of these movies and even finding balance with some fun moments along with some dark moments that balance out really well Perhaps upon a rewatch it might change in my ranking of these movies but at the this point in time, Goblet of Fire is my favourite Harry Potter movie

Agreed, Goblet is best. In enjoyed the columbus approach to the early films, because it makes the ‘growing up’ theme stronger in later films when they get dark. Haven’t seen fantastic beasts… not really feeling any urge to either.

i always love seeing some love for order of the phoenix 🙌🙌

25:05 “Harry Potter and the Fire” 😂

The goblet of fire graveyard scene used to scare the shit out of me when I was younger

as a hp fan it makes me so incredibly happy to see you put goblet of fire at #1. you have taste you get it!!!

20:32 "And finally, everybody just kicking Voldemort's ass and making him look like a bitch in front of his entire little posse". I think that might be my favorite description of Voldemort's downfall.

Are you going to be covering BCS season-by-season? Are you gonna review the S6 premiere tonight? How will you structure it?

2:38 The film where Grindlewald wanting to stop World War II before it happened was portrayed as evil, crazy Ezra Miller's character Credence is retconned into being a 3rd Dumbledore brother despite being too young, a pointless subplot about Newt's ex girlfriend's baby brother being killed by her dad and Queenie trying to slip Jacob a love potion to make him run off with her then joining Grindlewald out of spite when he refused.

There's actually a deleted scene for Deathly Hallows part 2, where Draco is the one throwing a wand to Harry in the court yard after he reveals he isn't dead. I never understood why they removed that.

I agree with your number 1, Goblet is my favorite and I loved the book

I really need to watch these movies again as an adult, lol. I loved the books and basically judged the movies on how book-accurate they were the first time i watched them. Chamber of Secrets was my fav. I’d like to give em a fair shake as independent works.

21:28 The Crimes of Malfoy. 🤣

I am glad you gave this franchise a chance

I thought you were gonna do a review series on each of the films

I love Goblet of Fire both the book and movie. It’s my favorite. You’re not alone. Think the issue is this was the first book that was huge and as a result the film had to leave a lot out and fans of course wanted to see it all. It would’ve been like 4 hours long.

For me, if you reverse the new Fantastic Beasts with the first one, and keep them as the bottom 3, I'll agree with that part. Even the new one which is my fav of Fantastic Beasts didn't top my least fav of Harry Potter, and yeah, had trouble making it through Crimes of Grindelwald myself as well when I was rewatching the first two Fantastic Beasts. However, I'm falling into the camp of putting Prisoner of Azkaban as #1. As for the rest, they are very much even for me, so ranking can change easily for me. Anyways, thank you, Cody. Enjoyed this list. Also, thought I'll mention this since you're not familiar with the books, but you mentioned about the Defense Against the Dark Arts turning out to be evil. In the 6th book, after Snape takes over DAtDA teacher, and how there is a new one each year, there is a line, can't remember if it was Ron or Harry who said, "Well, at least we won't have to worry about Snape next year." 😂🤣

As someone with a massive nostalgia for the first two movies (I watched them all when I was very young, but I was about 5 and 6 when I got the VHS tapes of both of those movies), I actually find that I like chamber of secrets more than philosopher's stone. That's the correct title, piss off 'mericans. But I just find so much more happens in that movie, there's more development, and it's a bit darker. It still has that magical Chris Columbus tone, and I love that.

My favorite is Order of the Phoenix, and it has been for a while. I’d like to point out that the Malfoys didn’t get what was coming to them in the Deathly Hallows book either. It’s implied that they turned on Voldemort in the third act and so they got to go home scott free. I was like, “No, give them comeuppance! They caused destruction!”

Chamber of secrets has always been my favorite. That goddamn SPIDER scene has Always send chills down my spine!!!!
