I'm desperate to reread these books. You've just fuelled the fire more now
Woohoo I'm glad!
Goblet of Fire and Prisoner of Azkaban are the best books in the series, I love them both so much. They are also my favorite movies to rewatch. Great list!
climbinguphill yay we have the same top 2 favourites!
Oh god my favourite in sixth place😭 I love the Half Blood Prince 😭
I'm sowry!! 😭
I’m so glad you made this it’s seriously inspired me to reread the books. You’re favourites were my favourites & I struggled so much with Order of the Phoenix & Half Blood Prince that I never read Deathly Hallows 🤦🏻♀️
Aw glad I've inspired you to re-read, they may not be so bad when you get to them and you could end up loving Deathly Hallows! I'm excited to see what you think!
How to Train Your Gavin I’m excited to see too!! I’d already put together a reading list for Believathon but think I might see if I can change some things around to fit Philosophers Stone in 🤔
I did this video recently and it’s SO hard to do! You did really well and I love how much thought you put into each book. And your use of levity was correct 😉
Oh phew! Haha. I just thought of it and I wanted to use it and I wasn't going to take it back haha. This is a very hard ranking to do. I'll have to check yours out!
We have the same favorite first book! I always find it so interesting to hear everyone's reasons behind their Harry Potter book order.
Her PNW WA Life same! And thank you, glad we have the same favourite 😄
My ranking (excluding ‘Chamber of Secrets’ because that’s the only one I haven’t read):
6. ‘Philosopher’s Stone’ - hated the writing style for this
5. ‘Half-Blood Prince’ - I enjoy the pensive but Hermione is insufferable
4. ‘Deathly Hallows’ - there are some exciting parts but it can be a little dull
3. ‘Goblet of Fire’ - whimsy but also starting to get dark
2. ‘Prisoner of Askaban’ - absolutely hysterical (made me laugh out loud on the tube!)
1. ‘Order of the Phoenix’ - I love how real it is, Mcgonagall is even sassier which is brilliant and UMBRIDGE! I love a good villain and she terrifies me
Cassie Osbourne omg you need to read Chamber of Secrets!! Great ranking ❤️
I love this! I am doing a Harry Potter re-read this year and I know it is going to take me forever because I am reading them out loud with my 7-year-old daughter. We are reading the illustrated editions right now too and they are so beautiful. I honestly don't remember which book was my favorite because it has been so long since I read them, I need to decide that after my re-read, but I remember it being Goblet of Fire when I was younger!
Aw that's so magical that you're reading them aloud to your daughter. The illustrated editions are so gorgeous too, I wish 5-7 were out as illustrated editions :(
@@GavinReadsItAll I cant wait for that too, probably have quite a few years though 😭 it really has been so fun and magical, just seeing it through her eyes reading it for the first time is the best feeling ever
Great video! I would rank them pretty close to the way you did. I was actually pleasantly surprise by #6 when I reread it. Maybe it because, like you said, it’s not the most memorable book which made it more fun to rediscover :)
That's a good point about #6 actually, every time I read most of these I rediscover things I forgot about, but that one the most. It's always a pleasant reading experience regardless.
How you feel about a book is so subjective, no need to apologise to anyone. 😁
I am participating in the o.w.l.s for the first time, but it's mainly an excuse to have some prompts for my April TBR.
Best of luck with the OWLs, and very true, I agree about the subjectivity of opinions which is why I always welcome them. Still, I feel bad for putting someone's favourite at the bottom!
omg showing the finger really made me chuckle anyhow i liked them all but i read them all as an adult but now i wonder if reading the illustrated books will change my mind
tracey vince I read books 1-3 illustrated as book 4 illustrated wasn’t out at that point, and reading them illustrated was such a great experience! I’d recommend!
Yes yes yes. Goblet of Fire is also my favourite and I feel like it's so underrated!
booktalkwithmeag I see a lot of people put it bottom of their rankings, so I agree!
My Order from least favourite to favourite
7: Order of the Phoenix
6: Chamber of the Secrets
5:Half Blood Prince
4: Prisoner of Azkaban
3: Philosophers Stone
2: Deathly Hallows
1: Goblet of Fire
Respect, same fav and least fav
I totally agree that that Order of the Phoenix is the hardest one to get through! (That's definitely my opinion as well!) I'm in the middle of a reread and am just about to start this one and like... it's so hard cause it is a long, tough one to get through. It's weird to reread these books ten years later and still know that this one won't have changed! Thanks for sharing!
Rogue Bookwoman have you finished book 5 now? It’s definitely intimidating but still a good one, but I get that feeling of anticipation beforehand.
@@GavinReadsItAll I did finish it last week. I've read it before but it's been years and it's still a difficult one to get through. Sirius is my favorite character so yeah, not a great book for me all around!
I feel like I'm the only person who's favourite is chamber of secrets. I love the mystery and the kid thriller aspect of Harry hearing voices and the history of Hogwarts. Harry also speaks some more snake, I mean yes!!!!! and the flying car, it's just amazing to me. I find when Dumbledore, Hedwig, and sirius I had to skip those pages because it makes me cry every time
Pale faced beauty Chamber of Secrets is so underrated! I could never put it bottom of my list, it’s filled with too many iconic moments and is so magical!
Yes i love chamber of secrets I find the different blood statuses an interesting aspect
It's my second favourite :)
I agree with you mostly, just swap GoF and Azkaban 😝🙌🏼 I had a really rubbish time with the transition from primary to high school too, with undiscovered anxiety issues, so OotP actually took me almost a year to read! I remember because I also wanted to escape but I just couldn’t with that book so reread the first 4 again, as well as The Princess Diaries. It was the first and last time I read it too 😱
Oh yeah, that school transition is tough and OotP did not help whatsoever with that. It was a bad time to be reading it. I've never read Princess Diaries but I love the movies!
I knew Goblet of fire would be your favourite because it’s so many others favourite too but I personally can’t understand why 😭😭😂😂my fav to least fav is: half blood prince, deathly hallows, prisoner of Azkaban, order of the Phoenix (although those two often alternate), philosophers stone, chamber of secrets and then Goblet 😂. It really interests me how everyone’s rankings are always so different!
Same, I love seeing how totally different it can be for everyone!
yaaaaaaaaas gav goblet of fire is my favorite too 🔥💖😘
cryingaboutbooks yyyaaasssss great minds think alike 🔥
I am a bit dissapointed in your ranking of Half Blood Prince (my second favorite) but I love Prisoner of Azbakan and the Goblet of Fire is also very good :)
I also love Book Ginny. I think she and Harry were a very nice couple in the book ;)
Berna's Bookish Adventures yeah book Ginny is far superior to movie Ginny!
What I loved about book 5 if I had to pick something is how they banded together and created the DA. I really loved that aspect.
bee bee Dumbledore’s Army is definitely a huge highlight of book 5!
WE HAVE THE SAME RANKING!! 😱 I think 5&6 switch spots occasionally but definitely my bottom two. i'm so shocked someone else agrees with me because people fight me over my ranking all the time haha. Prisoner of Azkaban is my favorite movie but second favorite book, but sometimes I say it's my favorite book because I get so sucked into it. 💛
We are literally the same person, I think the same! I'm shocked too haha
THAT’S IT! I AM REREADING THE BOOKS! 😂
Prisoner of Azkaban is my favourite because I feel it is the only book with a relatively happy ending. No deaths, nothing to do with Voldemort in the entire book, but mostly because Harry finally meets Sirius and Lupin who were his parents best friends. Through them he got to know his parents better, and the fact that Sirius offers him a place to live so they can be a family 🥺😭😍 Harry absolutely deserves that! And that’s what makes OOTP my least favourite. For the reasons you said for sure, but because his god father is dead and his promise that they can be a family is no more 😭😭
Lucy Rollins I should have mentioned that about Order killing off Harry’s future of having a happy family with Sirius. And YAS re-read the books!!
Half blood prince is the same though it was more about Snape
I’m reading Harry Potter for the first time this year! I’m reading a book every winter, spring, autumn and winter again month (so not May, June, July or August - although, I may start OotP in August because it’s the longest one. We’ll see!) I’m reading the 4th one next this month, after I finish Royal Assassin by Robin Hobb. I loved the first 3 books. I technically read books 2&3 when I was 10/11, but I got bored 3/4 of the way through your favourite so I gave up! I’m determined to finish it this time, as an adult though! I’ve seen movies 1-5 and maybe 6! No further yet. I’m watching each movie after I finish each book.
Aw wow I hope you have the best time reading the rest of the series (and watching the rest of the movies too). I think as an adult you'll find it easier to get through Goblet of Fire.
Thanks! I hope so. We’ll see in a couple of weeks.
First off, I didn't realize that you had a popular story on Wattpad!! I'll need to re-visit that site to read some of your works!! Anyway, I'm just starting out this video and I just had to say I totally understand your dislike for "HP5." With that said, we couldn't me more opposite, hahah! ;D When this book came out, my mom had already been divorced from my biological dad for a fair few years, and she was dating my now stepdad. My reading experience was completely different from yours!
Okay, now back to the video! ^^
My shady Wattpad past haha, I do love Wattpad and writing on there. But it's so interesting to see other people's reading experiences.
Order of the Phoenix is in my bottom two so I thought we might have similar rankings...but then you listed my all-time favorite as number 6 🤦🏼♀️😂 So interesting how different everyone’s are! Mine is:
7. Chamber of Secrets
6. Order of the Phoenix
5. Philosopher/Sorcerer’s Stone
4. Deathly Hallows
3. Prisoner of Azkaban
2. Goblet of Fire
1. Half-Blood Prince
Haha so sorry for my disrespect towards Half-Blood Prince, but I love your ranking nonetheless!
How to Train Your Gavin hahaha I don’t see it as disrespect! Like you said, just different opinions! Somebody else ranking it low doesn’t change my enjoyment of it 🤷🏼♀️ Loved the video! ✨
We share the same favourite book in the series. My brother read 4 and a half books to me when I read them for the first time so the first 4 are very special to me. The other ones are the books that made me read till 2 at night so that's also iconic. I've only reread the first 4 books in dutch and stopped for a reason I dont know and last year I started rereading the series in english for the first time! I just reread Harry Potter and the prisoner of azkaban this month. Also since I have movie problems I watched Harry Potter and the order of the phoenix for the first time yesterday, I'm still terrified. I slept terribly because I kept getting dreams about what if these things happened now, like in the time of social media and it completely ruined my life. This is such a long comment. Love your face. Also I was upset that the sphinx wasnt in the movie for the goblet of fire.
That is my favourite book tooo. Good list
Yay!! And thank you!
Order Of The Phoenix is my favorite Harry Potter film followed closely by Azkaban and then Goblet Of Fire. I regret to say I have not read the books yet. But I will be reading them finally. I do have a film ranking:
8. The Chamber Of Secrets
7. The Sorcerer’s Stone
6. The Half Blood Prince
5. The Deathly Hallows Part 2
4. The Deathly Hallows Part 1
3. The Goblet Of Fire
2. The Prisoner Of Azkaban
1. The Order Of The Phoenix
My Book Ranking
7. Philosopher's Stone
6. Chamber of Secrets
5. Half-Blood Prince
4. Prisoner of Azkaban
3. Deathly Hallows
2. Order of the Phoenix
1. Goblet of Fire
Goblet of Fire is my fave too!! I don’t understand people not liking it 😳
7: Philosopher’s Stone
6: Deathly Hallows
5: Chamber of Secrets
4: Prisoner of Azkaban
3: Half-Blood Prince
2: Order of the Phoenix
1: Goblet of Fire
I'm the same, I don't usually know why people don't like it so much, but total respect no matter what they think. Great ranking!
I am curious which house you are in because I know you are doing the OWLS and you just read like 23 books in January or February. Are you a Ravenclaw? I’m hoping your a Hufflepuff so we can get the cup!
I'm Ravenclaw haha but everyone tells me I'm Hufflepuff. I'm a mixture of both!
How to Train Your Gavin I can see how you are a little bit of both! It would have been nice knowing your page count was helping out Hufflepuff during the OWLS since you read so much so quickly! I’m definitely gonna try my best to read all the prompts! Well I wish you the best, it’s all for fun anyways!
YES GOBLET OF FIRE 🔥
Where it belongs
Goblet of Fire book and movie was always my favorite
The taste
Well.....quite an interesting ranking 😂 but as long as we all read and enjoy the magical world of Harry Potter then that’s all that matters!
My ranking is (from favourite to least favourite (although they’re all my favourite books ever!))
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone
Each to their own!
Great ranking and same, even my bottom 2 are among some of my favourite books of all time.
I’m doing the culinary sorcerer career. 1. Order of the Phoenix 2. Goblet of Fire 3. Deathly hallows 4. Half blood prince 5. Sorcery stone 6. Prisoner of Azkaban 7. Chamber of secrets. 🦅💙👍🏻
Ahh me too, that's my career haha best of luck with your OWLs and great ranking!
Whoop whoop it’s my main man Gav 🤗🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Mine favourite is The Prisoner of Azkaban book out of all of them
I didn’t like the film or the book of The order if the Phoenix
I liked the movie of Chamber of secrets.
Thinking about it Prisoner of Azkaban, The Philosophers Stone (because the journey starts) and the last part of Deathly Hallows are pretty much a draw for me
@@cleg78 love those movies too Claire. Also love your fav HP book too, glad we love them!
The third movie is the best movie for sure and I just rewatched the 6th movie and ugh the like of Ginny Harry chemistry is painful, I watched the very potter movie for a laugh this weekend and honestly they did it better lol
My rankings:
1. Goblet of fire
2. Halfblood prince
3. Prisoner of Azkaban
4. Sorcerers stone
5. Deathly hallows
6. Order of the Phoenix
7. Chamber of Secrets
Literature Science Alliance great ranking!!
I completely agree about 5&6! They’re by far the worst, so much teenage angst! I love 2&3 the best ❤️
I understand why she had the teenage angst (it's realistic) but yeah, not that enjoyable. 2 & 3 are solid!
I kinda like your ranking! Kinda. I wanna talk about 3 of the books here:
1. I have similar reasons for disliking Order of Phoenix - Umbridge is such a depressing villain because her evil is so non-magical and real, like our real-life politicians and people in power. Ugh.
2. I LOVE Chamber of Secrets. I feel it gives us a glimpse into how well Rowling would write horror if she tried. Also I loved being introduced to young Voldy in this book. ALSO, "His eyes are as green as fresh pickled toad" is the greatest Valentine's day song ever written, in my humble opinion.
3. I understand why you've got Goblet of Fire right on top - the wizarding world reaaaallly expands in this book, doesn't it? We see wizards of different nationalities and different schools! My biggest problem with this book is that the second and third tasks of the Triwizard Cup are terrible spectator sports - imagine sitting for hours just staring at an empty lake, or the outer hedges of a maze!
Rowling should totally write more middle grade horror - she needs to get back to that. I need to re-read that Valentine's Day song now haha I vaguely remember it. And omg yes that's a fair point about the tasks for the tournament - that would be EXTREMELY boring. So do they just sit there twiddling their thumbs, talking to one another, until someone resurfaces or gets out of the maze? I don't get the logic on that one haha
@@GavinReadsItAll
Here you go:
His eyes are as green as fresh pickled toad,
His hair is as dark as a blackboard.
I wish he was mine, he's really divine,
The hero who conquered the Dark Lord.
As for the tournament, if, for example, there were the magical equivalent to CCTV cameras inside the maze so that spectators could watch the action, Moody-Crouch wouldn't have managed to sneak around fiddling with stuff as he was trying to make sure Harry reached the Cup. So a bit of a loophole there.
My favourite is half Blood Prince! I just loved learning about voldemort's past, and seeing more depth to malfoy and Snape. Also, I love Harry and ginny's relationship in book 6.
I forgot to mention Draco when discussing Half-Blood Prince but he is a true highlight in that book!
Anyone putting Goblet of Fire at the bottom of their list needs to re-evaluate cause that ain’t it... anyways...here’s mine:
1. Prisoner of Azkaban
2. Deathly Hallows
3. Goblet of Fire
4. Philosophers Stone
5. Half-Blood Prince
6. Chamber of Secrets
7. Order of the Phoenix
Yes Adam I love your ranking! Prisoner of Azkaban is an absolute gift to mankind.
You and I have the same order except I put book 6 a bit higher so it skews some stuff. But arguably book 5 is the “worst” one just because this fill of angst and it’s very long. But it’s still Harry Potter
Yeah not a fan of the angst, I want my escapism haha
My favorite movie is prisoner of Azkaban. I don't know why so many people hate it. I know there are alot of differences between it and the book but, i liked the changes.
I did not like Harry Potter when I was a child. I was an advanced reader and my parents wanted to be challenged by my reading material. Unfortunately, my taste and maturity was not at all the same as my reading ability and I grew to hate the series because they thought a five-year-old who could read it on her own was sure to like it. It took me twelve years to give the series a second chance. I ended up reading all the books the summer after I finished school (literally finished Deathly Hallows on New Year's - yep, Southern Hemisphere summer. All the books were good, so even though Order of the Phoenix is my second favourite, okay.
Also, I tend not to read to escape, I read to relate. This is the reason I'm not into fantasy, and probably one of the reasons I didn't like the series when I started reading it. If I'd had the books given to me at age seven, maybe I would have liked them more. My reasoning: There are very few kids who have not been to school, have worried about making friends, have tried to keep up with work, have had that one teacher that hates them...there's more, but one of my second-year uni courses, "Writing For Children", required me to write pieces about all of our readings, and Philosopher's Stone was one - and I chose my mini-essay to answer the question about how much of the book reflected life for any eleven-year-old (If you want to know, our other readings were Margaret Mahy's "A Summery Saturday Morning", Joy Cowley's "Hunter", Roald Dahl's "The BFG" and I don't remember the author, but it was a picture book called "Clubs". I didn't like "Hunter" much, but the two picture books weren't a big deal to flip through, and I loved rereading the other two and looking at all the questions in the booklet about them. I think I WAS five when I first read "The BFG", but Roald Dahl is so easy and engaging. He really does grab the little blighter by the throat, and Sophie is not only relatable, but she proves to be bright, brave and resourceful.
One more - just realized you're wearing Ravenclaw robes! Yo, fellow Ravenclaw!
mine is:
7. Chamber of Secrets
6. Prisoner of Azkaban
5. Order of the Phoenix
4. Goblet of Fire
3. Deathly Hallows
2. Philosopher's Stone
1. Half-Blood Prince
Awesome ranking!
Confession time: I've never actually finished the series! I stopped after book 4 - because of the reason you didn't like book 5 and 6 as much. It got too adult without any of the magical fun and escapism. Cedric's death and the lack of quidditch really did me in. It didn't help that it came after probably the happiest and funniest book, Prisoner of Azkaban, with Harry finally finding a family member who loves him and getting the Dursleys off his back and the hilarious quidditch cup with Lee Jordan and Professor McGonagall. It had some dark elements and the mystery, but balanced it so that it was still an escape.
Now on to my absolute rant (shortened because of comments): Snape. I absolutely hate him. He was another reason why I just couldn't continue after the fourth book. As someone who was bullied by my teachers in elementary school, I can say for certain that his bullying towards the big three, Neville, and everyone else - I don't care what anyone says about justifying it because he was a double agent or that he had a tough childhood. I was bullied and there is no way in HELL that I would act like that as a teacher! There is no justification for his actions and Dumbledore dropped in my opinion because he didn't fire the asshole on the spot. I honestly started hating Harry Potter before everyone else (after the later books which shall not be named) because J.K. Rowling tried to make him redeemable, when there was no apology or consequences for his shitty, bullying, abusive behavior towards children. He is the equivalent of Umbridge to me (another reason I didn't continue - I didn't need that toxicity in my life after already having authority figures (teachers) abuse their power to belittle me and my sister.
Ahem... Okay, I'm done. Basically I totally agree with what you said about it losing its magic and charm in the later books (though I experienced that earlier than you with the 4th book) and its peak was the 3rd book. I'm just going to put aside the fact that you said the 4th book was your favorite because otherwise, you make completely valid points. XD
Ashley Kishibay ahh sorry to hear about your experience with the poor teachers and the bullying. No teacher should ever abuse their power like that, and it’s also why I don’t like Snape in the books. In the films, it can come across a bit differently so I don’t mind him as much in the films, but in the books, he is totally irredeemable. Prisoner of Azkaban is pretty much perfect, so at least you’ll always have the first 3 books 💙
I really want to reread now but genuinely if I could skip over order of the phoenix...i would... 🙄
Haha yeah it's an intimidating one. It has its moments though!
I honestly thought goblet of fire was intimidating
haha my no1 is order of the phoenix!
No shame in that!
@@GavinReadsItAll It's interesting because one of the reasons I love Order of the Phoenix is because it felt a bit more epic-fantasy-like, increased world building, slower pace, deeper character development etc! (also my favourite characters are the twins, and this book is of course where they shine!) The other interesting thing is, the Philosopher's Stone was my no.7, BUT i love the first film for the reasons you said you love the earlier books! That exciting fun magic-ness about them, when everything's new to Harry...Maybe I look for different elements in books compared to movies or something!
I co-sign this ranking.
Jessica Cramer very appreciated
🦅💙 ravenclaws!!
Forever 💙
☝️☝️Is this original UK edition available in any books shop now a days???.. what's you showing this edition during review !!!..by the way I'm from India !!
No longer available I'm afraid, the books were re-released with new covers in 2014 I think it was.
Oohh shittt.....but I want that 😭😭😭..I love original UK edition..very cool
@@GavinReadsItAll but also unavailable British deluxe edition or any paperback original UK edition books now ??
My favourite has always been chamber of secrets. 🤷🏻♀️
XxBloodbridexX 666 ahhh my childhood that one 💚
Correct order best to worst:
2
1
3
4
5
6
7
Pretty much a downhill slope for you?
@@GavinReadsItAll unfortunately yeah 😩 I was mostly in it for the 'magical boarding school' aspect so the wider plot lost me a bit. I had the same problem with The Hunger Games. But I'm glad other people enjoyed the later books!
Prisoner of Azkaban is my least favorite! I know “unpopular opinion” 🤷🏻♀️ but Goblet of Fire is my favorite book as well!!
Amber Brackin we are all entitled to our opinions! And yay Goblet of Fire crew 🔥
We have the same favourite Harry Potter book. lol
Yay I love that!
@@GavinReadsItAll Actually our list is fairly close? Prisoner of Azkaban is such a close second for me as well lol
The 5th book is my least favorite too. It was a slog to read.
The 3rd book is my favorite.
Well Voldemort is coming to power
