Prior to seeing the final installment in the Harry Potter movie universe I wanted to get down on paper my order of the first seven films.
1. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
2. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
3. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
4. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
5. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1
6. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
7. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
The first two films are a little too childish for me, but they were written with pre-teens and young teens in mind. The Deathly Hallows: Part 1 is a great movie, but it is too much of a cliffhanger for me to vault it above some of the other great Potter movies that give closure at the end of their respective movies.
The Prisoner of Azkaban is my favorite of all the films probably because it can stand on its own and doesn't rely heavily on the rest of the series to be a great movie. While the threat of Voldemort is still looming throughout the film and certain plot lines make more sense if the previous movies have been seen, it is not essential to watch the other films in order to enjoy The Prisoner of Azkaban.
