- But we will say this: the first film is decent. It gives fans and casual viewers a chance to enjoy the fantasy without being stuck in twee boarding school world, and the expanded look at Rowling's wizarding world comes with delightfully colorful creatures and a dandy retro fantasy vibe.

The movies are worth the watch. The books will help explain things that the movie leaves out. If you do have issues reading then go with the audio books as others have said.

Directed by Chris Columbus
At 161 minutes, Chamber of Secrets is the longest film of the Harry Potter franchise, and perhaps not-so-coincidentally, it’s also the last film to try and fit (almost) everything from the book into the movie. Director Chris Columbus expands on the world he built so beautifully in the first film with a slightly darker and much more plot-heavy sequel, and while the film isn’t bad per se, it’s definitely the most laborious of the bunch. Though it’s certainly too long and meanders in places, the...

It’s tough to judge a film that is self-admittedly half a story, but since it’s presented as a separate entry in the Harry Potter series, Deathly Hallows – Part 1 must be evaluated as such. Book readers had their issues with the walkabout nature of the first half of the final book, so many were bracing for a somewhat sluggish film adaptation of those initial chapters. And while Deathly Hallows – Part 1 is mightily compelling for the first hour or so (seeing these characters out and about in t...

It was with Goblet of Fire that the Harry Potter novels took their big first step towards adulthood, expanding not only in size but also in scope. Director Mike Newell likewise rises to the challenge of introducing a Wizarding World much larger than Hogwarts while also giving the franchise its first major onscreen appearance of Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes). It’s in between these two heavy tasks, though, that Newell really shines, as he picks up Prisoner of Azkaban’s theme of burgeoning adolescen...

While it may not be as flashy, refined, or impressive as the rest of the films in the franchise, Sorcerer’s Stone (or Philosopher’s Stone for the Potter purists) deserves immense credit for setting up this series so wonderfully and laying a fantastic foundation on which the other films could be built. Director Chris Columbus was not only responsible for putting together the incredible cast, but he also captured the Wizarding World on film in a manner that felt relatable and wholly transfixing...

- Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. It’s no surprise that Academy Award winner Alfonso Cuarón directed the best of the Harry Potter flicks. Some might call Prisoner of Azkaban more “adult” than the first two movies.
- Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. The book Order of the Phoenix often gets knocked for its preoccupation with hormonal teenagers’ mood swings.
- Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. It’s unfortunate the movie version of Goblet of Fire doesn’t fall at the top of the heap when the book version ranks #1 or #2 for many Potter fans.
- Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2. Deathly Hallows, Part 2 is all action. As soon as the movie begins, Harry, Ron and Hermione are breaking into Gringotts, riding on the back of a dragon and, finally, battling Voldemort.
However, yes, Harry Potter worth it. First two books are more for children but it became darker in third book. Same about movies. Especially movies.
Yes, of course the movies are worth watching, but you should read the books too because they are the main source material, and they explain everything in the books, but are unable to do so in the movies.
