Re: Which is your Favorite/Best?

1) Prisoner of Azkaban (Simply the best of them all)
2) Goblet of Fire (the best of the long HPs - all the way through... no weaknesses at all, especially for such a long book... especially fond as this is where i realised how much i disliked Ron - and why... jealous prat)
3) Philosopher's Stone (The Original... and almost still the best)
4) Deathly Hallows (Brilliant ending, decent beginning... sags in the middle... too much of the "on-the-run" = boredom)
5) Half-Blood Prince (Lots of good bits... over all a very good read)
6) Order of the Phoenix (Only the final scenes in the Ministry at the end keep it from sharing equal last place with CoS)
7) Chamber of Secrets (I almost always skip this book when i re-read the series)

Re: Which is your Favorite/Best?

Truly, I don't think any of them are the greatest. I hated all of them. I don't know why, but they were just not my kind of book. Each one seemed to be pretty bland, with a plot-line that took so many turns, that I had to read everything twice. I wouldn't suggest harry Potter to anybody looking for a good book. I opened it up expecting a lot, and got much, MUCH less than I bargained for. Horrible books.

Re: Which is your Favorite/Best?

Hmm...

1. Deathly Hallows (I love how it ties all the loose ends up and explained all the little bits that had irritated me)
2. Chamber of Secrets
3. Prisoner of Azkaban
4. Half Blood Prince
5. Goblet of Fire
6. Order of the Phoenix (Sirius nooo!)

But it's hard to choose, cause now that the series is finished, I can kind of view them as one huge book, rather than seven little ones. They're all so good because they all fit together so well.

1. Deathly Hallows. It's just so re-readable. And yes, I've read it at least 10 times.
2. OoTP. I wasn't too fond of this initially, but I've come to love it.
3. PoA. Just such fun to read.
4. GOF.
5. HBP.
6. COS.
7. PS.

1) Prisoner of Azkaban
2) Order of the Phoenix
3) Goblet of Fire
4) Chamber of Secrets
5) Philosopher's Stone
6) Deathly Hallows
7) Half Blood Prince


Though I'm a massive fan of the whole series, just have to say that the third was the ultimate best. Just can't stop reading that one. And the first five for me were the most well written, best for humour, top for atmosphere, just brill.
