Best Harry Potter Movies

I just recently collected all of the movies on dvd, and thought I would rank the HP movies by my preference.

1 - Half-Blood Prince - Just enough humor to make it enjoyable, it has a perfect balance between two completely different storylines.
2 - Deathly Hallows Part II - A gripping and captivating end to the series, it has awesome action scenes, especially between the Death Eaters and the Hogwartians(?)
3 - Chamber of Secrets - This movie was the vast majority of my childhood, with the return of all the characters in a much more advanced way.
4 - Prisoner of Azkaban - This brings up several crucial plot strategies, such as Sirius Black, the Marauder's Map, and more about Harry's parents.
5 - Deathly Hallows Part I - This laid the base for Deathly Hallows Part II, and the suspenseful scenes especially were done with the perfect amount of surprise.
6 - Sorcerer's Stone - It is crucial for a series to have a solid beginning, and that is what makes this film especially enjoyable. You get to meet all of the characters, and discover Hogwarts.
7 - Order of the Phoenix - My favorite part of this movie was Fred and George's broomstick scene, and I must say, the soundtrack is one of the best in the whole saga.
8 - Goblet of Fire - My least favorite movie, Harry was irritating in that he can't sit in anybody else's shoes and look at himself. The Triwizard Tournament didn't do anything, either, it was just filler.
