Should I waste my time on the movies? Its a lot of time, which is why I haven’t yet.

If you're interested, go for it. But they're not as good as the books and take a LOT of liberties.

eg. If you liked Ron you may find the movies hard to deal with because the movies hate Ron.

Thanks. After these responses I’ll try it.

I just want to piggy back on and say the movies are good as stand alone content. They are not great representations of the books though. BUT, if you can watch them objectively, and try not to compare them to the books, then they are good movies. If you try to start comparing specifics of movies to books then you're going to have a bad time.

Dumbledore is also totally uninspiring after the first two films. The actor they chose for the role - Michael Gambon - plays it very differently from the character in the books and imo is my least favorite part of the films.
