Fixed it for you.

I can accept your top three. Those are really the most interchangeable.

OOTP in my opinion lacked the substance. I know it dives straight to the point removing majority of the novel's fat. And Sorcerer's/Philosopher's along with Chamber of Secrets are way too much bloated now.

Half-Blood Prince as a film is wonderful, top notch storytelling. Though as a book adaptation it severely misses a lot of the books contextual point and feels more of a 150min advertisement for Deathly Hallows.

Where DH Part 1 was another 150min anticipatory build up to the third act which is the entirety of Part 2.
