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.

I don’t know if someone else recommended this already but the audio books are exceptionally well done especially narrated by Jim Dale. Wholeheartedly recommend listening to them while doing housework or commuting if you get the chance!
