Answer 1

You can use a table for that.
<?php
$hostname = "localhost";
$dbUser = "root";
$dbPassword = "root";
$dbName = "harry potter movies";
$port = 3306;
$conn = mysqli_connect($hostname, $dbUser, $dbPassword, $dbName, $port);
if (mysqli_connect_errno()) exit("Failed to connect to MySQL: " . mysqli_connect_error());
?>
<h1>Harry Potter Movies</h1>
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Movie</th>
<th>Rading</th>
<th>Year</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<?php
$result = $conn->query("SELECT movie, rating, year FROM Movies");
if ($result->num_rows > 0) {
while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
?>
<tr>
<td><?= htmlentities($row["movie"], ENT_QUOTES) ?></td>
<td><?= htmlentities($row["rating"], ENT_QUOTES) ?></td>
<td><?= htmlentities($row["year"], ENT_QUOTES) ?></td>
</tr>
<?php
}
} else { ?>
<tr>
<td colspan="3">0 results</td>
</tr>
<?php
}
?>
</tbody>
</table>

Answer 2

What you want is something like this:
<table>
<tr>
<th>
Movie
</th>
<th>
Rating
</th>
<th>
Year
</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone
</td>
<td>
7.6
</td>
<td>
2001
</td>
</tr>
So your echo should ouptup some HTML tags with the content.
