All Seven Harry Potter Books, Ranked

While I love each and every precious book in this series as if it were my first-born child, when it comes down to it, not every Potter book is created equal. Like it or not, some installments of the series clearly rise to the top, while others float quietly towards the bottom. Although the hierarchy of Harry Potter books is in many ways subjective, I feel there are some undeniable flaws and successes that can be used to rank the series from worst to best.

Incredibles 2 Review: Fun, Moving, Incredible—the Perfect Follow-Up to the Beloved Original

Incredibles 2 review
It's been 14 years since The Incredibles was released, 14 years since it raised the bar on what we could expect and hope for from Disney/Pixar movies, family movies, and in many ways, movies in general. Amazingly, the sequel lives up to its predecessor.
