Harry Potter
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (November 2001)
Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) moves out of the tiny chamber and attends the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry on his 11th birthday. He learns the truth about his parents and the nature of their death.
At the school he meets Hermione Granger (Emma Watson) and Ron Weasely (Rupert Grint) and the three of them set out on an exciting adventure.
The first movie was a charming introduction to the characters and the world of magic.
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (November 2002)
In the 2nd year at Hogwart's, Harry is visited by an elf that tells him not to return to the school. Harry returns to discover some strange happenings and experiences voices inside his head and something about a Chamber of Secrets.
Someone has opened the Chamber of Secrets but the suspicion falls on Harry and once again he and his friends must discover the truth and contend with Voldemort while discovering the terrible secret in this chamber.
The second installment lacked some of the freshness and suffers from sequel trouble but is still quite enjoyable.
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (June 2004)
The 3rd year at Hogwarts sees many changes. There is a new threat against Harry as Sirius Black (Gary Oldman) has escaped from Azkaban and seeks to murder him.
Sirius is supposed to have betrayed Harry's parents to Voldemort and Harry is ready for the face-off.
This episode was more action-oriented and a fun to watch. Third time lucky you may almost say
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (November 2005)
The 4th year at Hogwarts begins with the Triwizard tournament and Harry finds himself as an unwilling participant.
Harry and his friends are growing up and new passions are stirring. Trouble brews outside and within and Harry, Ron, and Hermione try to cope with new feelings associated with growing up. As Harry says to Ron about girls, "Why do they travel in packs?"
However, this installment was less humorous and more brooding. Of the four episodes released so far, this one has the lowest re-watchable value. The story is a little too simple and that makes the length of the movie seem ridiculous.
And quite frankly, the Quidditch matches are getting tiresome.
We finally get to see Lord Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes) return to flesh and the first direct skirmish between him and Harry Potter.
