I know there is a Harry Potter Book thread, but i decided to create a poll.

Mine is definatly The Prisoner of Azkaban. Though the movie kind of ruined it for me :( . I've read it sooo many times, probably at least 20. I Love it!!!!!!!! The rest are good too, don't get me wrong, but this one was just... the best by far. I actually read the first Harry Potter book, then went to read the second one but I just couldn't focus on it for some reason so i skipped it and went to the third one. In fact, I didn't read Chamber of Secrets until after reading Goblet of Fire.

The newest. It is horrible and heartwrenching and angsty and it had me crying for half of the time it took me to read it, but it love it despite the fact that it's made everyone believe my favorite character is evil--I hate that I don't know, but I'm convinced he's not--and it's so dark and dismal that it makes me feel like I'll never be totally happy again.

It's the dementor and it's sucked happiness out of me.

And I love it.




How masochistic does this make me? Or am I a sadist?

I havent read the new one yet so I'll just wait with voting till later but right now my favourite book is OOTP. It was excellent with a bunch of new and interesting characters that gave the book a fresh wind

Goblet of Fire is my favorite. But I never read the first one. And I'm not quite done with number 6, so my opinion might change.

I voted for HBP, because I finished it a little while ago (read it in 7hrs, yay my biggest achievement for the day, well my only achievement, because I only did that and went out for lunch lol) and I was absolutely blown away. It was amazing and heartbreaking and thought provoking and I couldn't believe it.

But my second favourite is GOF, then OOTP and POA.

I wanna vote for PoA (but the movie just sucked monkey butt!) but I am going to wait til I finish HBP.

...What?

"...and it's so dark and dismal that it makes me feel like I'll never be totally happy again.

It's the dementor and it's sucked happiness out of me."

I felt the same way after OOTP. Sirius' death had me depressed for weeks. I really felt ill. Yeah... I'm a geek.

Erm...I don't really like Harry Potter

Goblet of Fire is winning so far, yay! I'm extremely glad to see so many people like Goblet of Fire - no one here in my hometown seems to, they all make me sad.

Half-Blood Prince is definitely my second-favorite, though. It was much better than OOTP, personally, but OOTP was still good. But GOF was just so well written and planned out and interesting, because you kept wondering this book can't just be about the tournament, that's too lighthearted. Great book.

PoA, but with HBP as my second favorite,and GoF as my third.

SunsetSlayer
07-17-2005, 11:14 PM
I have to say that HBP is my favorite, followed closely by PoA. I never thought that any book would overcome PoA but I loved this book, even though it's incredibly depressing and sad there's an edge to it that all the others lack.

Half Blood Prince is the best so far and Goblet of Fire comes second.

...What?
07-18-2005, 12:08 AM
POA is, without a doubt, my favorite. I loved OOTP, except for the times Harry went all angsty-teen. And when Sirius died, of course. HBP may be my second favorite now.

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. The first three books were overal still pretty tame and childish (duh it are children's books, so logical ;)). But the fourth one was so different and great it blew me away. The last two just couldn't do that to me, so my choice was easily made.

i said goblet of fire cuz its the best one out of the ones i read. i havent read the 5th or 6th one. but i will one of these days!

I can not decide. Prisoner of Azkaban is defiantly one of my favorites with the introduction of two of the best characters. Order of the Phoenix I absolutely adore cause I love the DA and all of the anti Umbridge parts; not to mention the way that more then just the normal three were fighting in the end. Half Blood Prince, while I think it started out a bit slow, quickly became one of the most exciting HP books yet. And, I think that it had the best ending of them all. So, yeah, I can not decide.

i love all the books well sorta....the first 3 r kinda boring....but they r all good( the movies suck)

Stace
07-18-2005, 02:36 PM
Heehee. Now that I actually finished the book, my vote now goes to the Half-Blood Rince

LovelyLight
07-18-2005, 04:15 PM
OOTP. I think J.K. Rowling did her best writing in this. The plot was fantastic and it had the perfect amount of action and flirting. HBP had waaayyy too much flirting and Ron and Hermione didn't even get together yet! I think that you know....HBP SPOILERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!..............

When DUmbledore died there wasn't enough grief. Hardly anyone cried and there was not a lot of emotion in it at all. I found it kind of repulsive that right in the midst of Dumbledore dying Remus and Tonks discuss their love. Nothing against the ship...but....you know....

ClairePaceluv
07-18-2005, 04:48 PM
now that i read it, it has to be the half-blood prince

Eternally
07-19-2005, 10:56 AM
GOF was definately my favorite...but HBP and COS close behind though ;)

07-19-2005, 11:20 AM
I've never read Harry Potter and I really have no desire to, so I put that I hated them all lol! I might like them though if I read them.

Probably HBP.

Tao
07-25-2005, 02:18 PM
For me it's between PoA and GoF, though HBP is a close second. Those are my three favourite books out of the series so far.

07-25-2005, 10:47 PM
GoF no contest! Just love it! Surprise endings always float my boat :D

07-26-2005, 01:50 AM
I read HBP and can say that I am royally pissed off! So, POA is still my favorite book, least favorite movie.

I love them all, but I really, really enjoyed Order of the Phoenix. I loved the idea of Harry teaching the other students.

1. Order Of The Phoenix
2. Goblet of Fire
3. Half-Blood Prince
4. Prisoner of Azkaban

my favourite is still POA I love this book because of the way it was written it was beautiful and i loved Sirius Black. but my other favourite is HBP

PenguinJanitor
08-04-2005, 07:29 PM
POA, because there was a lot of Lupin. I like his character a lot...My second favorite is OOTP...then GOF, HBP, Cos, and SS...like you care about the others..lol...

Scarlett
11-13-2005, 11:48 PM
Definitely "Prisoner of Azkaban." The plot twists were amazing (Lostesque, really)! I was so shocked when Sirius' true identity was discovered.

Also, that was one of the few that ended on a positive note. Then Cedric/Sirius/Dumbledore died, and I ended up crying nonstop at the end.

My close second is "The Half-Blood Prince", because Harry just became an amazing character in that one. He kind of reminds me of Jack!

11-13-2005, 11:57 PM
Prisoner of Azkaban was my fav, just because of how much i love Black, but the movie wasnt the greatest.

Scarlett

Prisoner of Azkaban was my fav, just because of how much i love Black, but the movie wasnt the greatest.

Yeah I don't like the movies in general. They're extremely well-done, but I just don't think they have a chance at comparing to the "original."

As they told us in second grade, "nothing compares to your imagination!"

11-14-2005, 12:02 AM
I love all the books.. they're great! :D I think Goblet of Fire is my favorite though.. followed closely by Prisoner of Azkaban and Half Blood Prince.

SweetPea
11-14-2005, 12:28 AM
PoA use to be my favorite, but HBP has taken over that number one spot. I thought it was great!

.billies.kill.
11-14-2005, 01:32 PM
I cant decide between teh first one and the sixth one.. i voted for half blood prince though, cause i think generally they get better the futher along it is... but i do realy like goblet of fire too

*Natalie*
11-14-2005, 08:25 PM
GoF and HBP, I really can't decide lol

HBP is definetly my favorite!cuz thats when ron and hermione's relationship is the most apparent since they're always fighting and crying and making up etc etc.:D hehehe!and im a HUGE ron/hermione shipper!;)

11-14-2005, 09:59 PM
Prisoner of Azkaban :D

My favourite is OOTP, but I haven't read 6th yet so my opinion could change.

xlostxjoeyx
11-15-2005, 11:42 AM
Mine is also Order of the Pheonix! I enjoyed hating Umbridge. I liked them all a lot. The only two i was REALLY into were OOTP and GOF. HBP was alright, not much happened though. Its setting up for book 7 which will blow minds I bet.

EvangelineLilly
11-15-2005, 11:55 AM
For now my favourite is The Order Of The Phoenix,but only because i haven't read HBP yet.But I'm sure that HBP will take the first place later.

Bofbanoff
11-15-2005, 01:47 PM
Mine used to be Prisoner of Azkaban, I still like it, but the film kinda ruined it for me because it was so completely different to what I imagined. I really didn't like the teenage romance in the new one, IMO I don't think that's a strong point of JK Rowling's. I thought the plot was brilliantly heartwrenching though. So I put OOtP for my favourite, although my one serious annoyance at the book IS HOW WHEN CHARACTERS SHOUT THEY USE CAPITAL LETTERS! That really bugged me, seeing how Harry was so angry.

I like the angst.

Coconut1214
11-15-2005, 03:38 PM
GOF is my fav (I hope they don't ruin the movie, cause I didn't like POA :( )
HBP is my second fav. :D

Prisoner of Azkaban. I like the plot's designings and I love stories about time traviling.

*AnGeL_EyEs*
11-16-2005, 01:46 AM
I like them all but probaley Half blood princee or GOF or POA

irishcookie
11-17-2005, 10:31 PM
My favorite's POA...I enjoyed the movie too, but was disappointed in all that got left out in the Shrieking Shack. Sirius is my favorite character and I had always pictured him as Gary Oldman (I saw the first movie before I read the books so I needed someone Alan Rickman's age to picture as Sirus...and Gary Oldman is one of my fave English actors)

My second favorite: HBP

For some reason, my least favorite is GOF. It's still awesome but it just didn't catch me the way the rest of them did. But I am sooooooooo looking forward to the movie.

I hated chamber of secreats book....could hardly make it though it....loved the third book, couldn't concentrate on Goblet of Fire (but the movie was great) and Order of Pheonix is the best

Clarisse Aniston
11-19-2005, 08:24 AM
Favorite: Prisoner of Azkaban...I fell in love with Sirius on that book, I cried for hours when he died on OoP!!
Least Favorite: Half-blood Prince... the overall story was great, but the way the ships happened was so... fanfic-ish! And Snape killing Dumbledore?? WTF????

11-19-2005, 08:45 AM
I liked Goblet of Fire and Order of the Phoenix the best.

I love HBP, but I still love GOF the best! I love the suspensfulness in it. I can't wait to see the movie in IMAX on fri!!! YAY!

Mandi-chan
11-22-2005, 10:50 AM
For some reason, I hated GOF...don't know why...

My favorite would have the be Half-blood Prince, it was so rich!:p

confidante
11-22-2005, 04:50 PM
And Snape killing Dumbledore?? WTF????
Well...thats all part of a bigger plan!

DD foresaw events (Malfoy's task etc) and pre-arranged with Snape that he should kill him if the situation ever arose where Malfoy would be forced to do it - I'd even go so far as to say DD advised Snape to make the unbreakable vow with Narcissa.

Remember when Hagrid overheard Snape and DD arguing, Snape saying "I won't do it!"?

When DD supposedly pleads for his life with Snape, I think you're meant to deduce that a bit of telepathy is going on between DD and Snape and that the "Please Severus!" is DD urging Snape to kill him, and Snape's look of hatred is at having to accomplish that task.

But thats just my theory, we'll see...in about 2 YEARS!!!:(

11-22-2005, 08:05 PM
Although I loved all of them, I like GoF the best. Followed by HBP, and followed by OoTP. I think Philosopher's Stone would be my least fav...but in some weird way, I still love them all =)

Joan Locke
01-17-2006, 05:19 PM
Goblet of fire.Itīs the most thrilling one I think.

Ellen
01-17-2006, 05:27 PM
I loved HBP, even though Harry/Ginny surprised me and kind of came out of nowhere. The Ron/Hermione stuff made up for it, though. And I'm sure that Dumbledore's going to pull a Gandalf in book 7. ;)

I also really liked GoF, even though the movie was pretty bad.

So... my favourite is HBP.

Schweppes
01-17-2006, 06:07 PM
I'm still torn between Goblet and OoP, didn't like HBP as much as those two.
(I expected a so much better movie for GoF, but it rather dissapointed me :no:)

Keladry
01-17-2006, 06:18 PM
I'm not such a big HP fan anymore (hated HBP!!! :mad: ), but I still think the Prisoner of Azkaban is the best! I love Sirius! I want him back! :rant:

Mystical
01-19-2006, 03:34 PM
My favourite is GoF, and least favourite HBP - it ruined the series for me and I went off HP for ages until just before GoF movie, which ruined a second succesive book on the big screen.

I just hope book 7 is the same standard as the glory days of PoA and GoF!
