The thing that got me into the books was the first movie. I saw it because everyone seemed to like the books (except the Fundies). After I watched the film, I read all the books. The books are almost infinately better than the film.
They cut some great things out of the first movie (Snape's puzzle). I'd hate to see how much they'd have to cut from the fourth movie to make it a PG (which it logically must be as lots of kids enjoy the series). Let's hope the BBFC loosen-up before the fourth movie's out...
