Are you kidding? The first two films were shot in the most boring way possible, which is a bit odd considering the director Chris Columbus had previously made the two âHome Alonesâ and âMrs. Doubtfireâ. I still regret that I didnât know of VLCâs playback speed adjustment when I watched âHPâ.
Then they got proper good director Alfonso CuarĂłn, who shown how a fantasy film could actually look and feel. After which of course he wasnât hired again, and instead in one more iteration they found David Yates, who churned out the remaining four films like it was a factory job for him.

Order of the Phoenix is brutal but I think Half Blood Prince from a cinematography perspective is the best in the series. Prisoner of Azkaban was also really well done.

Oh yeah Prisoner was great.
Going to have to disagree with you on HBP. I went through a huge Potterhead phase as a teen and I fell asleep during that movie every time I tried to watch it.
At the time, the only other movie I had ever fallen asleep during while trying to watch was After Earth. So, admittedly, I kinda wrote the HBP movie off for that reason. But Iâve tried to go back and revisit it, and I just canât keep my eyes open!

Order of the Phoenix took the longest book and made the shortest film.
