Harry Potter is the greatest movie series ever BOBBY GORBETT

To the best of my knowledge, the cast and crew that worked on the “Harry Potter” movie series are not transphobic, but J. K. Rowling is transphobic and that is wrong. However, Rowling’s transphobia is independent of the work the cast and crew dedicated to the eight-movie series.

I have watched every “Harry Potter” movie approximately 157.5 times, and I’ve watched about three other movie series. “Harry Potter” blows the other three out of the water, so it’s the greatest ever. Here is a list of the stupidest and best moments from each “Harry Potter” movie (combining a couple of movies). This is just my opinion, but if you disagree with me, you’re wrong and a loser. KIDDING.

“Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone” and “Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets”

Stupidest Moment: Lucius Malfoy attempts to kill prepubescent Harry.

Has anyone else noticed that before Dobby disarms Lucius outside of Dumbledore’s office, Lucius was beginning to say Avada-Kedavra? I know Harry freed Dobby, but the killing curse seems a bit extreme. Imagine Lucius stepping into Dumbledore’s office to tell him he killed Harry.

“Hey, Dumbledore, Harry’s lifeless body is out in the hallway. He gave my elf a sock, so I killed him, just thought I’d let you know!” Best Moment: Christmas.

I still say “Happy Christmas” because of this scene. Harry’s bewilderment that he re- ceived presents for Christmas always gives me the warm fuzzies.

“Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban”

Stupidest Moment: The screen grab at the end of the movie.

Harry is whizzing through Hogwarts on his brand-new Firebolt, and the movie ends with a freeze frame of Harry’s distorted face. I liked this scene when I was six, but after the one-thousandth re-watch, it made my teeth hurt.

Best Moment: Harry knocks out Snape.

As usual, Snivellus was putting his nose where it didn’t belong, and Harry expelliarmus-ed him into next Thursday.

“Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire”

Stupidest Moment: Cedric jumps out of a tree to introduce himself.

When the Weasleys, Harry and Hermione meet 17-year-old Cedric Diggory, he jumps out of a tree to say “Hi.” What was he doing up there?

I can only imagine Cedric’s reluctance to go to the Quidditch World cup.

“But dad, I don’t want to leave, I want to stay home and climb trees all day!!”

“Don’t worry son, there will be plenty of trees at the World Cup.”

“UGH, but those trees won’t be as climbable!”

Then, imagine Cedric’s elation to find a tree he could climb in Ireland.

“DAD I FOUND ONE! OH MY GOD, IT’S SO CLIMBABLE!!”

Best Moment: Cedric’s death.

I wasn’t happy that Cedric died, but Amos Diggory sobbing over the death of his son is a necessary turning point for the rest of the series.

“Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix”

Stupidest Moment: Harry’s whininess.

This isn’t a single moment, but Harry has a ridiculous amount of “pick me” energy in this movie. “Oh, Sirius, I feel so alone, oh, Sirius, am I the reincarnation of Voldemort?” (fake quote).

Harry, you’ve had a tough year, but we all have problems. Luna Lovegood didn’t even have shoes for two-thirds of this movie.

Best Moment: Luna and Harry’s conversation in the Forbidden Forest.

There’s no getting around it; Luna’s bare feet are fantastic in this scene … KIDDING (sort of). In all seriousness, Luna’s message to Harry that he won’t be able to defeat Voldemort by himself is important to the rest of the series.

“Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince”

Stupidest Moment: Hermione’s inability to laugh normally.

Ron tells a medium-funny joke about Dumbledore’s age, and Hermione laughs like she’s never heard a joke in her life. Emma Watson makes up for it because she’s perfect and she has a pretty laugh, but it’s still cringe. Best Moment: Harry retrieving Slughorn’s memory.

Harry is tasked with retrieving a key piece of Voldemort’s past from the mind of an embarrassed old man. Harry’s brutal honesty in this scene about the legacy of his mother’s death brings a tear to my eye every time I watch it, and I’m tough as nails!

“Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Part 1 and 2)”

Stupidest Moment: Harry snaps the Elder Wand like a twig.

I love the visual, but could we put one of the most significant magical artifacts ever in a museum?

Best Moment: Hermione and Ron’s kiss.

Anyone who doesn’t ship Hermione and Ron breathes out of their mouth.

This evidence, combined with my self-appointed status (which I’ve earned by watching three separate movie series all the way through) as the ultimate movie series expert, makes it official: Step aside “Citizen Kane” and “Paddington 2,” because “Harry Potter” is the new pinnacle of cinema.
