I have watched all the Harry Potter movies till date. And you have mentioned all of them. The next movie 'Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince' will be released at 17 July 2009 in India. I think the reason 'Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix' wasn't as good as the previous Harry Potter movies is because it's like the 1st part a 2 episode movie. So unlike the previous ones, you won't understand the story unless you watch next movie too.

@Manish, that completes the list.

The HP series started the drop in terms of quality and content from the 3rd installment - HPPOA. Actually, I felt it was the worst of the lot.

There is another reason to this drop is quality also. The first two books were quite small and hence could be converted into movies without much content reduction. From the third book on, the story became much more complex and books were much longer. To fit the content in the movie they had to drop a lot of background and story.

For example, in GOF and OOTP, the whole ending story/chapters was left out. To those who have not read the books, this leaves a lot of confusion. To those who have, this leaves a lot of dissatisfaction. OOTP is really a huge book - the biggest in the series and it starts the transition of Harry from a boy to a teenager who has to fulfill his destiny. That is why there is a lot of anger in Harry which was depicted in the book but not cleary making an impact in the movie.

I am not too hopeful of the next installment - Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince.

Fortunately, the last movie, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, is being made in two parts because the makers felt that no part can be eliminated from the book.

I have watched all the movies and read all the books ......

Both were good ......

Especially Radcliff timed his coming off age well with the movie

You might have noticed that his voice was girlish in the first 2 movies


But overall i found the harry potter series very kiddish ...

But its very good all the same

I'm a big fan of Harry-Potter series... Have read all the books which are amazingly written & well connected...

My take on HP movies released so far -

1) Sorcerer's stone - cute

2) Chamber of secrets - very exciting

3) Prisoner of Azkaban - dissapointment

4) Goblet of fire - fast-paced

5) Order of Phoenix - stand out as a movie- obviously darkest yet

Actually, there are 7 books in the Harry Potter Series.
The other two being :
-Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
-Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
If I am correct, Deathly Hallows is nearing completion (Sorry if I'm wrong)
I'm more interested in reading books than watching films.
But, all of them have not been made movies.

Movie 6 (HP-HBP) is complete. It was going to be released this Nov but because of technicians strike the date is now postponed till May, 2009.

Movie 7. Well this will be based on book 7 (HP-TDH). But this movie will be made in two parts because the makers felt that everything in the book is important and cannot be left out. Hence we will get the movie in two parts. This movie is currently filming and the first installment is expected about 2010 and the second in 2011. Because this book is being made in two parts' movie, I am more eager about these movies than movie 6.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is the last of Harry Potter series. Unless J.K.Rowling decides to write novel about Harry Potter's kids.
