Favourite Harry Potter Book - July 7th 2009, 10:28 PM

Well the film's out in a week and it's that time when I become Harry Potter obsessed. I've just finished re-reading Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince and was wondering which book people think is the best.

I'd say my favourites are The Goblet of Fire and The Half Blood Prince. I have to say though the last book was really disappointing in my eyes and after reading a 'fake' book 7 online I really preferred the fake one and thought it fitted better with the actual story. I've tried to find this book online again but I haven't had any luck.

The Half Blood Prince

I really hope that the film doesn't ruin the book for me. I really found it the easiest to get in to and packed with everything that I love in a book! Wowness!

Half Blood Prince, most definitely. Most of the other books bored me to no end for the first 200 pages, which was really discouraging, but Half Blood Prince seemed to be entertaining from page 1.

I liked the half blood prince too. Though the last one I liked. The characters seemed to have grown up much more, Harry tended to bug me, especially in the Order of the Phoenix. I liked all the connecting links in the last one as well, all those loose ends tied up [:
I think I totally fell for the book after the third one, I love Sirius xD

I really liked the Half Blooded Prince. They were all really good, but this one was just alot more mature and interesting than the the rest of the books in the series. :]

The first four are my favourites. Goblet of Fire is my number one though.

My least favourite was definitely Order of the Phoenix.

My favourite film so far was Prisoner of Azkaban.

The Goblet Of Fire will always be my favourite book of the lot because it was the very first one I read. It will go down in my history as the first time I fell in love with Harry Potter books.

I've been boring and voted for all of the books. Since they all have their good and bad points. The good points certainly out weigh all the bad in my opinion.

I'll have to say that Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix was by far my favourite out of the bunch. I loved how much Harry got in trouble and how he was fighting for something that no one else believed in. It definitely had a lot of personally struggles. <3

Omg.

Well I picked the third one, cause I think it's so so clever.

I think the first three are in their own league of their own, compared to the last four.

So, split into those two leagues, my favourite's are:
3
1
2

and

4
7
5
6

Philosopher's Stone and Half-Blood Prince

Order of the Phoenix would have been on the list, but I felt like the story was a tad slower than the others.

There could never be amore beautiful you
Don't buy the lies, disguisesandhoops they make you jump through
You were made tofill a purposethat only you could do
So there could never be amore beautiful you
-Johnny Diaz


Everyday
is so wonderful
And suddenly it's hard to breathe
Now and then I get insecure
From all the pain, I feel so ashamed

I am beautiful no matter what they say
Words can't bring me down
I am beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring me down, oh no
So don't you bring me down today

To all your friends you're delirious
So consumed in all your doom
Tryin' hard to fill the emptiness, the piece is gone
Left the puzzle undone, ain't that the way it is?

'Cause you are beautiful no matter what they say
Words can't bring you down, oh no
You are beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring you down, oh no
So don't you bring me down today

Love the Prisoner of Azkaban, best book and movie. (I love how this completely contradicts the person above me's post)

It's because of Sirius Black. I just thought he was so damn cool, and I always felt bad for him for getting framed by Peter Pettigrew and wanted to give him a big hug.

(Lol on the other hand, I almost couldn't read Order of the Phoenix, not because it was bad, but Umbridge drove me crazzyyy)

I'd have to say the Prisoner of Azkaban for the story...

Buuut, I'd also have to argue that J.K. Rowling's writing skills improved dramatically over time and that the seventh book was by far the best written. I thought the seven one was much better for an older audience and I just enjoyed it more. Apart from the bits when I was crying my eyes out!

HBP, because I liked the whole 'traveling back in the past' thing that was going on. And the end was the biggest-and most heartbreaking- plot twist ever! Unfortunately, The Deathly Hallows didn't have the ending climax I was hoping for. It felt...rushed.
