J.K. Rowling claimed that she came up with the idea for Harry Potter in 1990 while sitting on a delayed train from Manchester to London King's Cross. Over the next five years, she mapped out all seven books in the series before the first book, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone was published by Bloomsbury Children's Books in June 1997.
Little over a year after the fourth book, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire hit the shelves, Warner Bros. Studios released the film adaptation of Harry Potter And The Philosopher's Stone. So began one of the most treasured film franchises of all time.
I have ranked all eight Harry Potter films reviewed on the Bravo Alfredo blog below,
- Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince (76%)
- Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows: Part 2 (75%)
- Harry Potter And The Prisoner Of Azkaban (74%)
- Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire (65%)
- Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows: Part 1 (64%)
- Harry Potter And The Chamber Of Secrets (64%)
- Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix (63%)
- Harry Potter And The Philosopher's Stone (62%)
What I find remarkable about the franchise is the consistency across the saga. Four different directors, with four different visions, crafted the continuous storyline without ever betraying the essence of the original source material. It is a magnificent accomplishment that amongst the eight films, there isn't a bad one amongst them.
