I'd say true. If you think it's false, please let me know what your favorite book of the series is.

I used to think GOF was the best Harry Potter movie.
But book? I prefer Prisoner of Azkaban.

False. I prefer Prisoner of Azkaban in both book and movie versions.

Eh, it's the book where all the series major problems started.
Character Derailment/Exaggeration, tons of unnecessary bloated content, convoluted plots, etc.

On the contrary, it's the worst of the series. It was boring, and three quarters of the story we're putting padding. If the villains needed Harry at the graveyard, all they needed to do was turn one of his ink quills into a portkey, rather than go through this whole Triwizard Tournament thing.
My favorite book is the first one. I found it very enjoyable, and it was a nice, quick read. The best book is probably the third. A great, clever plotline, with lots of twists. Screw Cursed Child for contradicting the perfect time travel loop theory established in this book.

I'd say false because even though I absolutely love it and while it was the one which made the story take a darker turn, I think that there Is something more special and unique about the first and the third book.

False. Azkaban and Hallows are both superior.

True. It was also the first one I read all the way through. The TriWizard Tournament storyline was a lot of fun, I loved the characters maturing, and the ending was insane.
Then the movie was a huge disappointment.

False, 2nd best to POA.

False. My personal favourite is Deathly Hallows. Goblet of Fire would be a middle-ranking Potter book for me.

False. Order of the Phoenix is the best by far.

Disclaimer: though a citizen of the U.S., I much prefer the original British title of HP #1, and for this post--as with various others I've made--I prefer British spelling of certain words. It isn't snobbery; it's just liking the appearance of certain things in certain contexts. That said...
While I disagree with this sort of poll on principle (how can something based on opinions be either true or false?), I couldn't resist answering this one. And for the record, I say False. My three current favourites (in no particular order) are Philosopher's Stone, Prisoner of Azkaban, and Chamber of Secrets.

My three current favourites (in no particular order) are Philosopher's Stone, Prisoner of Azkaban, and Chamber of Secrets. I hope you won’t mind if I save the Potter stuff till the end and focus on the spelling-question; it’s a point that interests me. I’ve written here before about my unusual spellings: I learned many words that derive from verbs in the double-consonant “British” style, e.g., marvellous, traveller, jewellery, etc. This isn’t, I should note, affectation or even personal preference but rather a result of having learnt them from an Irish third-grade schoolteacher who insisted on these spellings. Most words I write in the usual American fashion— favorite, harbor, color, etc.—though I insist on the diaeresis above the i in naïve and put the ae into archaeology. I put the word British in quotation marks, however, because these spellings aren’t even peculiarly British; they were in common American usage up until at least the ‘40s, I know, and The New Yorker still doubles consonants. (As you say, they just right in that way. I tried not doubling the consonants for a while and just disliked it; I particularly dislike traveler, traveling, traveled.) OK, Potter time, even if it’s more linguistic pedantry. I picked up my first Potter book in Banff, Canada, where the title was indeed … Philosopher’s Stone. I usually refer to the book by that title and to the movie by the American one, if only to differentiate. My favorites of the books, by the way, were probably The Prisoner of Azkaban and The Goblet of Fire. |
