I've not seen any of the movies, but the books, which I was sort of coerced into starting, turned out to be freaking hilarious. There are definitely a few points where some OOC stuff happened (for example early in the series when Hermione, the extremely studious and logical one, forgets a very simple spell), and in several of the books there's definitely a feeling of "Harry gets in over his head, and at the very end some adult saves his ass" (but realistically, considering he's a child fighting some very adult evil, what else could happen?). All in all, I enjoyed them immensely, but I saw a few minutes from the middle of one of the movies and the bad acting just shocked me so much I've no intention of giving them a fair viewing.
