Here are 5 best Harry Potter books of all time and why:
- Harry Potter And The Sorcerer’s Stone
- The Prisoner of Azkaban
- The Goblet of Fire
- Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows

Harry Potter And The Sorcerer’s Stone
In my opinion, the best book is the Harry Potter and the sorcerer’s stone. It was the first one, is the beginning of the story, and the book when we can see all the magic involved, all the characters. When you read the first book, you get caught in all that magic and story behind. You feel more willing to keep reading, you can discover new things related to the story, and for me, it’s all about that.
The other books are good, but the first one is better. When I heard about this Harry Potter, I wasn’t sure about the story, then I read it and I was addicted to the book. Even if you are a grown person, you can feel the magic, and it’s so good to feel that. If you want to present some kid about magic, give them the first Harry Potter book and wait for their response.

The Prisoner of Azkaban
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is the best book in the series. This is where Harry comes into his own as a three-dimensional character as opposed to a surrogate character for the young audience. Furthermore, Sirius’ reveal as the dog and his unexpected innocence is perhaps the most shocking moment in the whole series. Of all of J.K. Rowling’s masterful installments in this storied series, the third book, Prisoner of Azkaban, is the best.

The Goblet of Fire
The Goblet of Fire starts the mature stage of the Harry Potter series. The whole plot is thrilling from the first page of the book. Starting from Quidditch World Cup events and Triwizard Tournament to an exciting climax of occultist ritual to bring back Lord Voldemort to life in a human body and the reveal of Alastor Moody’s real identity. Goblet of Fire is dark and gloomy. It begins and defines the further struggle against Voldemort and his supporters

Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows
This is a difficult question to answer, as there are many great Harry Potter books. However, if I narrow it down to just one, then The Deathly Hallows would be the best book of all time. This is the book where the trio, Harry, Ron, and Hermione had the longest and hardest adventure of all time to defeat dark forces.
This is because it is the culmination of the entire series and it is packed with action, adventure, and suspense. It’s where the biggest war in the series happened, where many characters died and many revelations were made. Additionally, it is relatively un-cluttered by filler materials, so it flows smoothly from one chapter to the next.

The Order of The Phoenix
The Order of the Phoenix is the best Harry Potter book of all time because it is the darkest, most emotional, and most suspenseful installment in the series.
The Order of the Phoenix sees Harry battling against his evil uncle, Dudley Dursley, for the first time; it introduces readers to dementors, soul-sucking creatures that patrol Hogwarts; and it culminates in a thrilling confrontation between Dumbledore’s Army and Voldemort’s Death Eaters. Add to that some truly heart-breaking moments (such as Hermione being petrified by a basilisk), and you have one unforgettable book.
