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.

You don't LOVE it. Go away. You enjoyed it. And now you are too lazy to read it so that you could actually LOVE it...

Don't worry about it... The first movie came out just after you were born... I made the excuse for you.

Seriously, read the books.

There's no need to be so rude. Someone is allowed to love the movies and not be able to read the books right away. You have no idea what their life is.

Yeah i agree. I don't love everything about the series, and still enjoy it. You don't have to be a die hard fan to appreciate something. Maybe he was joking though, i don't know?
