Taking place in New York , with a British Hufflepuff primary character , the moviedoes not reach the acme of most mainPotterfilms , but keep back its own trick   and got fan mad for what was to descend from this prequel enfranchisement . These expectations quickly got dash , however .

Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes Of Grindelwald — Set In 1927

wonderful beast : The Crimes Of Grindelwaldcame two year later , set a year after the events ofFantastic beast , building on the Grindelwald twirl of the first cinema .

Harry Potter And The Philosopher’s Stone — Set In 1991/92

Onto the serial that everybody fell in love with years ago , the first film adjustment of the renowned Good Book series came in 2001 withHarry Potter and the Philosopher ’s Stone , retitledSorcerer ’s Stonefor American   and Amerind audiences .

Taking place in Britain in the very former 1990s , the motion-picture show follows the iconic characters in their first class at Hogwarts , establishing friends , foes , options , and overall building of theWizarding Worldin a magnificent way . A great commencement to the serial , anda good adaptation .

The firstHarry Pottersequel movie come after on somewhat simply — it starts at the end of Summer in 1992 , going through a full schooltime year at Hogwarts leading into the offset of Summer ' 93 .

Chamber Of Secretsis a movie with problems , specially as it pertains to the length and the deus ex machinas / plot of land conveniences the picture show use . Nevertheless , it is still a good pic . There are no outright direful films in the series , just one with significantly gravid issue .

Harry Potter And The Prisoner Of Azkaban — Set In 1993/94

The Prisoner Of Azkabanis not one of those lesserHarry Potterfilms , though , and again , follows the same school twelvemonth to schooling year structure as the old two films —   while also taking the integral serial in a new direction .

With Alfonso Cuarón at the helm , this moving-picture show has a dour quality and begins a drift ofPotterfilms becoming more mature and more assured in their craft . Save for that bizarre final shot , the motion-picture show is gorgeous , well - act , andmany will contend the very safe of the movie series .

Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire — Set In 1994/95

Today , mainstream consultation are finally get around to Robert Pattinson and appreciating him for the fantastic actor he is , acknowledging all the neat piece of work he has done post - Twilight . Pre - Twilight , though , he had a expectant outingin thisPotterfilm .

The Order Of The Phoenixwas the foresighted of all thePotterbooks , and it got imposingly condensed into the short of all the movies . However , to many , that is the with child issue of the film .

It take place , once again , at Hogwarts , during Harry ’s fifth year , where Hogwarts is a very dissimilar place under the Ministry of Magic control . It lacks a mickle of what the record does bright , but there is no denying how entertaining it can be , and that whole final stretch is fantastic .

Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince — Set In 1996/97

Another picture show many monolithic Potterheads have occupy issue with is the   entry that trace the hero in what is   supposed to be their 2d to last year of Hogwarts inThe Half - Blood Prince .

IfOrder Of The Phoenixleaves out a lot from the book , this picture arguably does it more , deviating from what is exceptionally done in the novel .   Removing the explanation of the Half - Blood Prince and a lot of Tom Riddle ’s origins ,   it rather select to focus   on cumbersome , dreadful to watch teenage Romance language .

Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows: Part 1 — Set In 1997/98

The first of the mainPottermovies to not be arrange at all at Hogwarts , Deathly Hallows : Part Iis a ho-hum movie and calls for some patience from the hearing who are eagerly anticipate the climax .

It takes place across what would be Harry , Ron , and Hermione ’s final year at Hogwarts , moving into the first one-half of 1998 . It does , at times , feel like a stepping Harlan Stone to get to the next celluloid , but it has so much great stuff in its own right and is a good vigil for those who are fans of the motion picture when couple with the finale .

Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows: Part 2 — Set In 1998

Where the two concluding parts of thePotterfilm series differ massively is pace . Part Imoves at a firm , drab , deliberate rate , while the second part moves at breakneck swiftness , cause the net mathematical product all the more telling .

This movie kicks off where the last one cease in 1998 , with the illustrious Battle of Hogwarts . There are definitely issues in the flick to many fans , but   overall it is a satisfying , herculean , and worked up end toa cinematic journeymillions of people took together .
