Columbus ' first two movies are the most faithful adaptations of the Scripture .

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer ’s Stoneis the shortest Holy Scripture in J.K. Rowling ’s seriesbut boasts one of the longerHarry Potterfilm length . Despite this , legion beloved characters like peeve were still cut from the last product . That say , Columbus ' first two motion-picture show are the most close adaptations of the Quran , leave out only what could be considered impertinent ( peeve aside ) and following Rowling ’s narrative beat almost to a T. The runtime excogitate this fact as , at times , Sorcerer ’s Stonecan run at a glacial stride compare to the comparatively quick read that is the book .

Cast

Released one year afterHarry Potter and the Sorcerer ’s Stone , Chris Columbus finished up his two - film discharge withHarry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets , and theHarry Pottermovie runtimes increase . Columbus had antecedently worked well with children as a director on films likeHome Aloneand a writer onTheGoonies , so he was pure to launch the franchise . This second moving-picture show show what dangers Harry face in the hereafter as the past tense of Lord Voldemort , the franchise ’s main opponent , is delve into .

The moving picture made $ 882 million and was the 2nd highest - grossing film of 2002 .

Much likeSorcerer ’s Stone , Chamber of Secretsand its terminate stick relatively close to the source material . Of what was cut were various encounters with secondary antagonist Gilderoy Lockhart that only further do to impose his prank and much of Percy Weasley ’s part in the narration . Of all theHarry Potterfilm lengths , Chamber of Secretsis the longestand is sometimes regarded as the worstHarry Pottermovie . Chamber of SecretsexacerbatesSorcerer ’s Stone ’s tempo issues , but at least Harry is check actually performing magic in this film , and pop characters like Lucius Malfoy and Dobby are introduce .

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkabanhas a complex endingand while Columbus made hisHarry Pottermovies mostly about tiddler notice magic , Academy Award - winning director Alfonso Cuarón ( Gravity ) take the helm for this one and made one of the most grownup films in the series — withone of the shorterHarry Pottermovie runtimes . Cuarón cut back the runtime , although it was still over two hours . Sirius Black , a man once prevail at the Azkaban prison , was introduced as Harry ’s godfather , and the plastic film transfer the franchise ’s tone drastically .

Prisoner of Azkabanis widely regarded as the bestHarry Pottermovie in the serial , even though Voldemort is n’t in it at all . The film moves at breakneck speeding without sacrifice of import exposition and its noticeable tonal switching was necessary to usher inGoblet of Fire , as theHarry Potterstories themselves grow sorry with each subsequent script . However , with the cutting runtime came rationalise eccentric — and no Quidditch — and side characters like Neville , Dean , or Seamus had minimum screen sentence .

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Firereally showed that character deaths could be serious in the serial , but with one of the middlingHarry Pottermovie runtimes , audience know major cuts for the first fourth dimension . In this film , Harry Potter took part in a Triwizard Tournamentthat saw him conflict in a serial of tests to determine which school had the best young wizard . However , that was just to move the patch along as the true importance of this movie , direct by Mike Newell , was to bring Lord Voldemort back from the dead .

01159476_poster_w780.jpg

Despite having a runtime of almost 2 hours and 40 minutes , Goblet of Firewas the firstHarry Potterfilm that saw huge cutsto the story to give its conclusion while still provide enough exposition . For fledgling , fans who have only watched theHarry Pottermovies have never heard of Ludo Bagman , Hermione ’s House Elf rights campaign , the grandness of Winky the House Elf , or how Barty Crouch Jr. supervise to escape Azkaban and eventually organise his evil plan . Had theGoblet of Fireruntime been amplify , sure things would ’ve made more sense perish forward .

WhileOrder of the Phoenixis the longestHarry Potterbook , it is the short in terms ofHarry Pottermovie runtimes . David Yates directed this pic and stay with the franchise to the end . This film sawthe rise of the powerful Order of the Phoenixto struggle the Death Eaters , and Harry learned who his existent ally were . This was the step in Harry ’s journey where he observe himself betrayed , as the Ministry of Magic refuse to consider Voldemort was back and leave the club to fight alone .

Thanks toGoblet of Fire , fans of the novels were prepare for how much cuttingOrder of the Phoenixwould undergo . Despite this , it seems almost condemnable that the longest book in the series got the shortest runtime . Much of Harry ’s inner turmoil and prospect that displayed his increasingly troubling connectedness to Voldemort did n’t appear , with the attempt on Mr. Weasley being one of the only major instance let in . Because of its short runtime , Harry ’s angst is play down to a degree , and the most intact part of Snape ’s worst retentivity does n’t happen .

01159478_poster_w780.jpg

Harry Potter and the Half - origin Princearrived in 2009 and added a unexampled twirl to the fib , as Dumbledore ’s close companion shew to be a possible Death Eater sent into Hogwarts . Snape , the Half - Blood Prince , get out a notebook computer behind that Harry found and used to assist him through the year . Bythe close ofHalf - Blood Prince , things search dire as the Death Eaters began to pass through Hogwarts . While Voldemort demands that Draco Malfoy bolt down Dumbledore with the sceptre link up to him , it ’s Snape who steps forwards and murders the headmaster , taking away Harry ’s beloved mentor .

WhileHalf - Blood Princehas one of the more appropriateHarry Pottermovie runtimes , Voldemort ’s backstory could still have been expatiate upon . The film only includestwo out of the seven memories that relate to Voldemort ’s overall backstory , which would ’ve included how he procured the locket , cupful , and ring Horcruxes , the Gaunt family , and Tom Riddle ’s gradual decline into Voldemort . However , Yates decided to keep theHalf - Blood Princeruntime down to about the same duration asGoblet of Fire , with the latter being slenderly longer .

The final Quran in the Harry Potter series isHarry Potter and the Deathly Hallows , and it was split into two movies , both having some of the shorterHarry Pottermovie runtimes . The first of the celluloid came out in 2010 and saw Harry , Hermione , and Ron on the running after the last of Dumbledore . This total pic focus on the human relationship between the three lead as their friendship faulting , breaks , and is eventually mended to make them stronger than ever as they come back to battle Voldemort and the Death Eaters to end the state of war once and for all .

01159477_poster_w780.jpg

The only matter that felt somewhat pushed to the wayside was Dumbledore ’s backstory and how Harry wrestle with that relationship and trust .

SplittingThe Deathly Hallowsinto two movie influence well for cover the final book , and the film reduce off the storey at the perfect piazza . Due to having two films to tell apart the intact tarradiddle , much of what materialize inThe Deathly Hallowsbook was included . The only thing that felt jolly pushed to the roadside was Dumbledore ’s backstory and how Harry wrestled with that relationship and reliance . In accession , Harry ’s internal struggle between prosecute the Hallows and the Horcruxes was n’t addressed in the stringent two and a one-half hours .

The concluding movie inthe initialHarry Potterfranchisesaw Harry and his friends join forces with the wizards that had survive the Death Eaters . It was the Battle of Hogwarts , and everyone gathered to take on the villain and redeem their school . Most characters had their heroic moment , many dear champion died in battle , and Harry had his final battle with Voldemort to terminate the war and keep open his school . By the last scene , Harry was allowed to dwell blithely ever after . Concerning the Harry Potter movie runtimes , this movie was shorter than any other in the series .

01159474_poster_w780.jpg

Despite consume the shortest of all theHarry Pottermovie runtimes , Deathly HallowsPart 2covered the second half of the novel welland ended the series on a bombastic note . Certain elements were changed from the book for the honorable , with Harry and Voldemort ’s final struggle being much more action - packed and take position in the courtyard rather than the Great Hall . The only inauspicious part of this was that the smashed runtime did n’t leave right impact for major reference deaths like Fred , Lupin , and Tonks .

Five years after theHarry Potterfranchise , the Wizarding World came back to the big screen , but the film was n’t based on books and was instead a history J.K.Rowling create for cinema . Fantastic Beasts and Where to detect Themtoldthe story of Newt Scamander , whose book about fantastic beasts Harry studied in school . Newt is an adult fascinated with the wonderful beasts in the earthly concern . However , this series had a big arc — the ascending of Grindelwald . TheseHarry Pottermovie runtimes were still over two hours , but not as long as many of the earlier films .

TheFantastic Beastsfranchise started out unassailable , and audiences welcomed the new protagonist Newt Scamander with overt arm . No books to come meantruntimes would tell the right amount of story in the proper amount of meter , and the succeeding ofFantastic Beastsseemed bright . While it was clear that Rowling ’s talent as a screenwriter did n’t twin that of her authorship , the movie ’s runtime felt comfortable and introduced new magic into the dealership along with an alone different scene and time stop .

01159475_poster_w780.jpg

Fantastic savage and the Crimes of Grindelwaldis only more or less long than the first picture show . This was the second movie in theFantastic Beastsseries , and while Newt Scamander was still the independent admirer , there was a lot here to set up a battle observe in the original Harry Potter movies betweenAlbus Dumbledore and his greatest challenger , Gellert Grindelwald . This saw both Jude Law and Johnny Depp arrive as Dumbledore and Grindelwald , but the movie was mostly a bent - up for the upcoming battle with Grindelwald preparing to start a Wizarding War with humanness .

crime of Grindelwaldis famously where theFantastic Beastsfranchise went wrong , and while the runtime was longer , it still did n’t give enough ventilation elbow room for audiences to read the complexity of the plot with one watch . The secondFantastic Beastsmoviewas tamp down to the lip with entropy and tie - ins toHarry Potterwhich worked more to its detriment than its achiever . canyon was retconned many time and despite only being two minutes longer than the first pic , offense of Grindelwaldfelt much longer .
