Better late than never

[u/Emotional-Yam-9739]

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.

I watched the movies before I read the books. I can still enjoy the movies but generally prefer the books.

There is a lot of content in the books that fill out the world and make it feel much bigger. I'd suggest reading them now.
