The Verdict Franchise Civil War
The series' floor losing big to its ceiling is the least surprising result on the site, and it's still worth saying why. Azkaban is where the franchise found out it could be cinema — real weather, real dread, a shape-shifting third act that plays fair — while Chamber is still transcribing a book, faithfully and at length. Every ranking, fan or critic, puts these two at opposite ends. For once, the vote and the discourse agree completely.
