Keep in mind I don't care if they don't show enough Quiddich (sp?).
Actually, as far as books that have been turned into films go, the Harry Potter movies follow the books closely enough that, if you choose, you can skip ahead to the last couple of books if you've seen the films. The first 3 books, in particular, are not too long and straightforward reads....so you won't miss much skipping them and starting with book 4 or 5 (the books start getting deeper....and longer).
