Personally, I think the movies are fun, but the books are magic. I remember talking to adult friends who hadn't read the books and had trouble following things in the movies because they weren't properly explained (though kids just go with it, I haven't met a kid who only watched the films and had any issue).
But I'm a book person. I'll watch the films if they're on the tv or if I'm doing something else and want something fun in the background, but I love reading and rereading the books. It's a different experience.
