I was one of those HP haters when the books first became popular. I was 12 or 13 so I was right at that weird age where it isn't cool to like things not aimed at an older audience. About 30 pages into Sorcerers Stone I was hooked for life. The movies do a decent job telling the story, obviously the early movies are more whimsical, and the child actors are varying degrees of bad, but the series picks up as it goes on. Goblet of Fire was my favorite because it was the turning point of the series, started off light and whimsically mischevious like the previous three, but ended with a real blow, something bad finally happened in the end of a Potter story, not everyone got back on the train and went away happily ever after, you could sense the trouble that lie ahead. The next four films (three books) did a great job setting the dark tone for the finale, and the Battle at the end really delivered.
Overall a great series of books and movies. Not the best films ever made, but an entertaining series that gets stronger as it goes on.
