4 is easily the best and 1 + 2 are cute in their own different way. 5 doesn't really work as a movie because the entire book is exposition (though I quite liked the book, long as it is) ... 6 is filler both book and movie, everything in it could have been spread across other entries ... and book 7 don't get me started on that.

Rowling quite clearly wrote book 7 with the movies in the back of her head and it shows in the book. The book reads like movie scripting. Thus, I thought the films were decent enough, but the book doesn't sit right with the rest of the series at all. It should have been 1/3 longer and another 1/3 less "Hollywood action scenes".

Hagrid's flying motorbike death eater chase scene... come on . Too Fast Too Magic Motorbike. It works on screen, it is awful to read.
