Worst Harry Potter Books

The Top Ten
1 Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

This is the best book in the whole harry potter series. I especially enjoy Umbridge, who is seriously evil and even humorous. I like the fact that no one believes harry because it makes this book interesting. then harry makes the D.A. which is very interesting, and I really like the plot. and with Umbridge in the plot how this book be boring. also in this book Fred and George do a lot of great pranks, including their escape from Hogwarts, which is one of my favorite part of any book from this series. then their's Fudge's attemt to control the school, and umbridge's fights with Professor Mcgonigal. also this book has a sick ending, with the Department of Mysteries, and yet people are complaining this book is boring.

Hey! JK Rowling really worked hard on these books! She created 7 best-selling books (each won at least 10 awards) in a decade! She did her research, she used her time wisely, she put effort into these books, and this is how you repay her? I never, ever hate a book unless I KNOW I can do better than it. I'd like to see you write 7 best-selling, multiple-award-winning books in a few years! I'd like to read all of them and join the fandom for them! But is that happening? Obviously not!
Either way, I think I have to pull myself together. This is your opinion and I should respect that...but that's easier said than done. Ssss-o-o-r-y...? Okay, I'm sorry. BUT THIS ISN'T RIGHT!

Harry is too emo, Umbridge ruined Hogwarts, Cho Chang won't stop crying and being annoying, Dumbledore ignored Harry (for a terrible reason in my opinion), AND on top of all that Sirius DIES. what. I can't stand this book. It's honestly a chore whenever I do a re-read of the HP series just to get through this one

Well I am a huge fan, but I hate this book because it's really boring especially they got Umbridge in it... and there's nothing special at all!

2 Harry Potter and the Cursed Child

That's right its not a book its script.
It was a good story just different. (I don't know why they changed the epilogue part though)
It was just you didn't really know what would happen next.
You can't have every character in a play. I like Luna but she is overrated she is a background character who had most of her story in the fifth book.
This isn't the eighth book.
Maybe they should've gone with making the story about Harry's life pre-Hogwarts, I suppose that would've been too depressing.

This should not exist, it ruins the series, it should not be canon, the entire story is weak and put a bad end to the series

It's like a bad Fanfiction. I refuse to accept it as canon. There was a reason Time Turners weren't used post- Prisoner of Azkaban.

I'll say... It wasn't a fanfic but not the level of J.K. Rowling either. The worst thing is it is a script not a book. Who will waste time on such a script so it seriously I rubbish.

3 Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

I like it but it's definitely the weakest book by far. Compared to the Philosophers Stone, this one's just kinda less interesting. Petrification feels a lot more generic than a secretly evil teacher who's trying to steal a stone that grants immortality deep in a chamber of secrets. Speaking of which, the Chamber of Secrets is the most underwhelming title in the series. Didn't we already have a chamber of secrets in the first book where the stone was kept? Yeah..., definitely the weakest book.

What was wrong with this book I read it over the weekend and it was good learning about Tom Riddle's past his diary being destroyed the mystery Harry killing the basillsk and so much more

The main reason I don't like this book is voldermort a book and also boring I hate nearly headless nick he ruin it I like the other books why is order of the pheonix 1st I love that book with dumbledore and voldermolt fighting

Hermione is not responsive for most of it, I mean it's still amazing! but not as good without her

4 Quidditch Through the Ages
5 Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

To me this is the worst of the books.
For starters, I didn't like the change of setting. A big part of why this series is popular is hogwarts. It was a constant. Instead, there was not a 7th year... What a letdown.
Plus I don't like how happy-go-lucky the ending is. I wanted a more meaningful ending. Maybe Harry dying too... The part 10 years later is also something I dislike...

This should be number 1

6 Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone

Okay, I understand that you have an opinion, but do you have any reasons for hating Harry Potter to back up your claim? You listed ALL the books, so I take it you hate ALL the books? But why? You haven't listed any reasons at all, which makes you opinion barely count as an opinion.
Either way, it's probably because your jealous. If you hate them, you read them, and why is that? I have never met a person who read Harry Potter that hated it. The only people I met that hated it were fourth graders that haven't read it. They just hate it because their terrible at reading and think that Harry Potter is nerdy. News Flash: he saved your life. Multiple times.
Either way, you must think that I only wrote this because I hate your opinion. I do and don't. If I were to list Best Harry Potter Books, I would back up my claim.
So, could you tell me why in heck you hate Harry Potter, a true work of art?

I know this is a worst list, but this book should be number one because without it you wouldn't know who any of the characters were... Just a little thing to point out.

Me and my friend used to laugh so hard at his face on the cover...I'm laughing thinking about that!

I woted this one just to get ootp away from the nr 1 spot, because it's honestly my favorite. I like this one also ofc, it's a classic

7 Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

The second task made no sense whatsoever. There was no danger involved as Ron said "Dumbledore would not let hostages die, why did you save 2 people at once" right after Harry saved him. Indeed, why Harry? So his heroic action amounted to nothing in light of what Ron said. Sorry, but this triwizard tournament did not grow on me. It is just a game, what is the big deal? Is it worth dying for? And Mad Eye could have just taken him to Voldemort. Why did he try so hard to help him win just to lead him to Voldemort. I know, plots and schemes and all that but still... Could have been better.

This book isn't bad, it's just that it could have been removed from the series and nobody would notice. There was no plot development.

8 Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
9 The Tales of Beedle the Bard

Ok would you rather have Toadstool Tales?
"Then the little golden pot danced with delight- hoppitty hoppitty hop! - on its tiny rosy toes! Wee Willykins had cured all the dollies of their poorly tum-tums, and the little pot was so happy it filled up with sweeties for Wee Willykins and the dollies! "

It's so small and I didn't really like the stories, period

-Stormflight

It wasn't as good as I thought

10 Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

1. Muggle Umbridge - Marge Dursley when Harry was four years old at Dudley's fifth birthday she whacked Harry with her walking stick to stop Harry from beating Dudley at musical chairs, years later she gave Dudley an electronic robot and Harry dog biscuits. Then she let the dog Ripper chase Harry up a tree and didn't let either of them down until around midnight?
Then she arrived and just threw her suitcase into Harry, to hug and kiss her family. Then started insulting Harry and his parents. About being caned in St Brutus, his parents died in a car crash drunk, about Dudley being perfect weight not Harry. Being in love with Colonel Fubster who hated her.
2. Dementors
3. Harry has to use his cloak and the map to get into Hogsmeade because his abusive Uncle Vernon wouldn't sign the form unless he behaved like a Muggle in front of Marge Dursley even though she always tormented him.

This is a great book, with the best defense against dart arts professor, and Sirius Black which is my best character.

I hated it but I still love Harry potter!
