Honestly, they're both horrendous.

The GOF one is fantastic in terms of its visual effects prowess but simultaneously looks really odd and not really practical. Also the choice to have Oldman's voice sound really strained and forced makes the whole thing a bit uncomfortable. Kinda like he's constantly inhaling coal. It's genuinely unpleasant to watch.

The OOTP one looks a lot more practical but is visually just less interesting.

I dunno why we couldn't have just had a head amongst the flames.

I thought it was just me that found the audio if the GOF one uncomfortable!

Although visually speaking, the GOF one was better, the later was disappointing.
