Let’s
finish with a bang! What is the one movie series that has marked the 21st
century with its magic and never will be forgotten? Why it’s Harry Potter of
course! Appropriate for kids, teens and adults alike, the Harry Potter movies,
based on the series of books written by J.K. Rowling, is one that no living
soul should miss.
The series
of movies follows the life of a wizard, none other than Harry Potter, watching
him grow from being a small, unaware 11 year old boy to a brave, skilled wizard.
The story begins with the murder of Harry’s parents by the darkest wizard of
all time, Lord Voldemort. Harry is then fostered by his aunty and uncle,
growing up in the cupboard under the stairs in their house, constantly living
in the shadow of his older cousin. But on Harry’s 11th birthday, he
receives a very special visitor who delivers some news that will change Harry’s
life.
Throughout
the eight movies (one more than the book series as the last book is split into
two films), Harry goes to school at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry,
makes many lifelong friends, battles numerous enemies, learns some very
important lessons about himself, his family and the magical world, and faces
his fears for the greater good.
The films, in order, are:
- Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone
- Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
- Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
- Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
- Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
- Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince
- Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Part One)
- Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Part Two)
I would
recommend this series to anyone and everyone! With a total for all eight movies
of 19 hours and 40 minutes, they are sure to keep you occupied when you need it
most. The movie classifications vary from PG and M, mostly for stylised and
fantasy violence, depending on which film you watch. I rate every movie
individually a 10/10, and overall for the series, of course, another 10/10!
