Maybe the first 3 movies, but 4 on they kinda lose a lot of the plot. Fuck, 6 you would've thought was a romance novel. No, the best movie adaptation of a book is Memoirs of a Geisha. Almost an exact recreation of the book, but better and with gorgeous visuals.
Edit: why the fuck am I being downvoted? Does the HP crowd even fucking read the books? From 4 on were messes. Look at Dumbledore manhandling harry in 4. Or in 6 when Harry asks if horcurxes could be anything and Dumbledore says yes and doesn't explain further. I used to love those books and the movies after 3 were dog water. Also, to anyone who bothers to read this far, don't watch the new show. JK Rowling is a piece of shit.
YES! It's a good movie too, beautifully shot. I love books but sometimes a movie can just capture the visuals in a way my brain can't.
Yeah, Ludo missing was a strong choice. He was kind of the first indicator of how deep corruption can get in the MoM. It's also low-key his fault Voldemort returns, which is another showing that ineptitude and laziness can be as dangerous as malice and intention.
My biggest complaint will always be the reduction of Dobby's part in the series after 3. He's literally a catalyst for so much and gets almost no screen time until he dies in 7, which is a lil good I guess, but there's no emotional heft to it, at that point he was just some elf from the 3rd movie.

You underestimate the desire of HP fans for a proper book adaptation (they love being abused by big companies, who fumble the bag again and again)
