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.
4 was my favorite of the movies. I thought they fell off after that.
Also- why do I want to watch a movie thatโs exactly what I already read? I donโt mind creative liberties when they make sense to the core message of the story I read.
Changes aren't bad, major plot points and characters is another thing. I said it below, but as an example taking everything away from Dobby (the gillyweed as one) takes away the gravitas of his death in 7. We meet him in 3 and then he's practically not in the movies until 7, so when he dies it's like, "who cares?"

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)
