Harry Potter films are mediocre, at best. Books are quite good. To me, at least, the books have got boring as I've read them too many times. Good books, but they seem to have little re-read factor.
The Prisoner of Azkaban was amazing as a film. It was the only one to actually capture something that the other movies didn't have. It was great artistically. It's just completely different from the book. Too bad Alfonso Quaron can't do any more of the HP movies - PoA had the best atmosphere... And they should bring John Williams back as the composer.
The films would be good if they stopped unnecessarily changing the plot and the sequence of events. Book to film does need some work to make it shorter etc., but most of the stuff changed in HP was complete bollocks and needless.

Plus, the crappy actors. Well, "child" actors. Rupert Grint = good. Dan Radcliffe, Girl-who-plays-Hermione, pretty much everyone else = crap.

3 was awesome because of Sirius, or should I say the magnificence that is Gary Oldman. <3
