“Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban” Despite my aging perspective, though, “Sorcerer’s Stone” still delivers a fantastical introduction to the “Harry Potter” series.Ĥ. Having read “Sorcerer’s Stone” multiple times, I don’t feel the same emotions of awe and wonder I felt as a child. Rowling’s introduction to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter is impossible to dislike, due to the creative ideas employed throughout this book, drawing the audience into a world of magic.Īs an adult, however, I found this book a tad unengaging. The entire Wizarding World franchise owes its existence to this fun and whimsical first entry. “Sorcerer’s Stone” is the original “Harry Potter” book. Rowling’s sixth “Harry Potter” book is a solid entry, but it is unable to stand on its own.ĥ. “Half-Blood Prince” has enjoyable elements, one of which being Potter and Albus Dumbledore’s fleshed out relationship. Parts of this book that are not a chock-full of set-up are dedicated to awkward teen romance, which I personally did not enjoy. Like most penultimate entries in franchises, the sixth “Harry Potter” book exists to set up its much more engaging finale, “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.” Although it is intriguing to learn about Lord Voldemort’s past, “Half-Blood Prince” is essentially just exposition. But the convoluted plot makes it an unenjoyable reread.Ħ. It is by no means a bad book and I see why I thoroughly enjoyed it as a child, as it includes the escapist elements Harry Potter fans have come to expect. More plot does not necessarily guarantee a better story, however, and “Chamber of Secrets” lacks characterization and emotion as a result. “Chamber of Secrets” is the most forgettable “Harry Potter” book.ĭespite its short length, the second entry of the series features one of its most extensive plots. This ranking likely comes as no surprise. “Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets” It is inevitable that my perspective as a stressed-out college student would shift my view of a series of children’s books.Īfter deep thought and concentration, I present to you my new and definitive ranking of the “Harry Potter” books, from least favorite to favorite. My journey back into the pages of “Harry Potter” was magical and nostalgic, but challenged my impression of the series.
