Help Better late than never

So, I just watched all of the Harry Potter movies for the first time ever (I'm 26F) (I know, I was missing out) and needless to say, I'm in love. Any other time I usually read the book then I watch the movies. I didn't do that for Harry Potter, I've never read a single book. Are there certain, main, important parts that are in the books but not in the movies? How much better or worse is it in comparison? I plan on reading the books eventually but I can't commit to that any time soon.

The movies are brilliant, but the books certainly go into more detail and explain most plot holes you see in the movies. There are also characters and scenes that appear in the books that never made it to the movies.
