I Ranked the Harry Potter Movies because Why Not

This was one of the hardest things I've done

I Ranked the Harry Potter Movies because Why Not
lovelace media

It's been a big weekend for Harry Potter. It was his birthday and the release of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, the final (!!) story in the Harry Potter franchise. And just because I couldn't jet off to London and see the play for myself, although I did run out to Target and buy the book, doesn't mean I didn't spend the weekend celebrating the Boy Who Lived. In honor, of this weekend, ABC Family Freeform, blessed us with yet another Harry Potter weekend. So after marathoning all the movies, I got to thinking about which one was actually the best. After a lot of debating, and changing, I did the hardest thing ever and actually ranked the movies (I want to make it clear that this is the movies, because the books aren't the same thing, obviously).

8. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

I think I put this one last because I hate Umbridge so much. Sorry, Order of the Phoenix, but one movie had to be last.

7. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban


This is really hard, but I just put this one here because my sister always changes the channel when it's on. It's nothing personal.

6. Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince


Again, this is really hard, but it's sixth in the series, so it just fits.

5. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire


The more I see this one, the higher on the list it gets. It would have been higher if it wasn't for the fact that seeing Voldemort for the first time as a child traumatized me.

4. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets


I just really love this one.

3. & 2. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 & 2


You cant really do one of these without the other. Even though I didn't want the series to end, they did it in a way that made it okay, you know?

1. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone


I love this one because it's bright and happy. He's just a lil boy that gets to go to Hogwarts, do magic, play Quidditch, and makes friends. And nobody dies! (okay, Professor Quirrel does, but he kinda had it coming). I think this one's the best one because it's just the beginning of everything.

So there you have it, my ranking of all eight Harry Potter movies.This task was nearly impossible. So this list isn't set in (Socerer's) stone, just ask me after the next Harry Potter weekend and I'll probably say that Prisoner of Azkaban deserved better.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
