On the contrary, Lord of the Rings had to cut a CRAP LOAD of content to make it fit into a movie, but they did it much more deftly. The movies as they are are well-paced, well crafted, do not feel rushed, and have plenty of atmospheric details and character moments. Other than the first 3 movies, the HP movies drastically fail at this.
Well, movies 1-2 are primarily Hogwarts related (new to Hogwarts and Salazars secret chamber in the school). 3 is delving into more of Harry’s life and Sirus. 4 is the tournament. 5 is all about overcoming the man. 6 is about the soul anchors. 7 is the conclusion. I can kinda see how you feel like 3-7 loses it’s fun Hogwarts magicness.

There's no soul. It feels like it's just following a formula that was apparently set in place starting with OotP. On a side note, I really don't get why they've decided to go with Newt Scamander as a protagonist through this 5 movie series they claim they want to do. Of all the Potter lore, honestly, why go with him and that subject matter.
