spizzer Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Books:Half Blood PrinceDeathly HallowsOrder of the PhoenixGoblet of FireChamber of SecretsPrisoner of AzkabanSorcerer's StoneFilms:Deathly Hallows Part 1/2Half Blood PrincePrisoner of AzkabanOrder of the PhoenixChamber of SecretsGoblet of FireSorcerer's StoneThe films are a bit confusing for me. There are scenes in HBP that make me think its my favorite, and I'm completely undecided between DH1 and 2, so as of now I'm ranking them as one film. Also, I feel like watching the full extended cuts one day will affect my views on each one. If OOTP is what I hear it is, it could shoot up past POA, and some of what was taken out of GOF makes me feel like it could as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pinocchio Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Its interesting Potter fans in this forum always rank the best-selling and therfore most popular Potters at the lower end of their lists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lab276 Posted November 9, 2011 Author Share Posted November 9, 2011 (edited) That's a bit misleading. Of course PS, released in 1997 will have sold more copies then OOTP, released 6 years later.Also, the longer books are better because there's just more going on, they're more interesting.

pinocchio Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Its not misleading. If you look at actual sales numbers the first Potters in general still sell better.At least for the US market this big picture will never change. In other markets its not that clear.

lab276 Posted November 9, 2011 Author Share Posted November 9, 2011 Makes sense, lots of people get into them, but of those, only a small percentage will actually finish the series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinocchio Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Well, I once was obsessed with Potter book sales and even created a ranking (most Potter book sales per capita). The list looked like that:1) USA/UK2) France3) Germany (includes Switzerland/Austria)4) Australia5) Japan6) ItalyOf course for many countries like Russia and so on I could not find any sales numbers. But -- yeah -- the Aussies seem to be among the true Potter fanatics on this planet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noctis Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Its interesting Potter fans in this forum always rank the best-selling and therfore most popular Potters at the lower end of their lists.The majority of the people who DID finish seven books rank the last four higher than the first three. And it's not a surprise, it's because they're better books.I don't know if you've noticed, but there is something incredibly condescending in the way you post.

Had an overall better and entertaining viewing experience with OOTP. POA is third purely because of the way Cuaron changed the whole landscape and look of the series. The books are pretty self explanatory, most of us seem to like the last four in some sequence the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noctis Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 (edited) The last three Potter films are absolutely gorgeous visually.But, does anyone else think Serra's cinematography was a bit too dark during some of the night scenes in DH2? Hell, the first shot of Voldemort/Harry jumping off the tower was a vivid blue, but in the end, it was black. I don't know why he didn't put as much color as was intended.
