This is an overall rating based on binge watching the six during lockdown, admittedly when it came out first I fell asleep in the cinema to the philosophers stone but my tastes changed so thought I'd try again, thoroughly enjoyed one and two and three was my favourite, 4,7 I thought were really average with 5 6 and 8 being a mixed bag in between, but overall I feel it's a good series but massively overrated film and culture wise.
The bad was worse than the good was great so going beyond 6 overall is tough, I felt after 3 it became a bit to real world based for me, a lot of the charm kind of died and it felt more teen film than classic, I'm amazed it's as popular as it is because let's face it as they grew up the main three must've made the writers so gutted as Emma Watson was the best at an average level but grint and Radcliffe are terrible actors as proven by their poor careers since, Radcliffe especially took emotions out of scenes was an ungrateful entitled selfish child, didn't appreciate his help and was just a charisma vacuum, the last two especially in big moments his mannerisms and delivery were pathetic. The extras and elder actors kept the quality decent though.
I genuinely didn't like potter as a person found him thoroughly up likeable and just got little enjoyment from him, the story on the whole is good, bit long, the ending was fun, would be interesting to see if the kids is something they revisit but even there the three had no presence and delivered a flat ending. How this is such an iconic series blows my mind as not one film for me would even be in top 50 of all time. The swerves were good however most were predictable.
It's worth watching but overall it's overhyped
